ltthose reports are TO be believed, the
administration is more firmly committed
TO tue radicals than ever and the removal
Of General Mcclellan is foretasto of the
policy we may expect it to pursue here,
after.
It's believed here that the President is
all right; that his object is to conduct the
war under the constitution, and finally
restore the good old Union as it was; but
it must be confessed that he is a. tho mer.
cy Of the coming Congress rorthe supplies
by which alone the war can be prosecuted.
The excitement here is intense, and ey-
cry one is watching with much curiosity
and no little anxiety the development OF
the radical plot against the Union No
one can at present foresec the result ofils
success: but am assured by persons high
in the counscls OF the republicans that the
principal members Of that party, in their
over anxiety to serve tho irepres8ijle
niger, would have promptly come out for
peace and the recognition Of the Sou thern
corfederaoy in case Mr., Lincoln had with,
drawn his proclamation and dretaiued GEN.
oral Mcclellan in command.
