Coon FOR Patriotism is not
altogether extinct among respectable Re-
publicanS. Some of them still respect the
Constitution and disdain to follow their
party in its war upon it. It's stated that
recently L. S. Senator o. H. Browning
made a speech at the Court House in
Quincy, Illinois, denouncing the Adolf
tionists in unmeasurcd terms, and dcclar-
ing that Senators Sumner, Wilson and
others, were disloyal traitors, crazy IA
natics, bent on the destruction of the
Government. lie was ready TO go over
to the Democrats, or to any other party,
or to act with patriotic men to whatever
party they might belong, who were for
the Union and the Constitution" This
is an admission that the Republican party
is opposed to the Union and ConStitu
tion"-an admission by prominent and
distinguished and trusted member of that
party. The people are becoming con-
WINGED OF the same truth, and the time is
not distant when they will rise in their
majesty and hurI from power those who
have dec, ived and betrayed them. Brown

distinguished alike for his urbanity,

The Republican 0OnNentiCn which

economically. Have they done sol Ger

frankly admits that weak men have dis

ChGnsanE.


Public opinion 10 the East Is rapidly
changing with regard to Mr.. LincOln's fit-
ness for the position which he occupies
While nearly al cODcede that he Is honest,
patriotic and means well. not a few, and
those leading organs Of his own party
boldly accuse him Of weakness and ignO-
rance. The very papers that six months
ago held him up as a model statesman,
now ridicule the idea that he knows any
thing about craftsmanship; and some go
so far as to hint that he is not three re-
moves from an idiot. They attribute
Pope's reyerses to his weakness and vac
cillating course-to his readiness to take
the advice of every one who approaches
him-tO his anxiety to carry water on
both shoulders" as the Bulletin elegantly
expresses it, and to his want Of decision
of character. Nearly all the leading jour
nails of his party are censuring him. As
q specimen OF the whole, We extract the
the following from the New York World:
president Lincoln and his chosen adj
vissrs must be less tenderly dealt with.
They must be held more Sternly to their
responsibilities. They must be made to
feel something Of the dreadful earnestness
which surcharges the heart OF the people.
They must learn to respect the right Of

and renounce all idea Of intimidating the
loyal press. The people are now realizing
the bitter consequences OF undue cohh-
dence in the management OF the Admins
tration. The abandonment of free citu-
cism, which followed Cl.v disaster at Bull
Run, and the disposition to trust every
thing to the discretion Of the President,
have terminated in an accumulation Of
disaster and disgrace that appals and
sickens every heart. Magnificent armies
beaten, incompatible treasure wasted, and
two hundred thousand fives saCriticeo,
the capital still beleaguered, the border
States lost, loyal States Inenaced by inva-
sion-all this, too, when the enemy start
ed with an almost absolute restitution Of
every war necessary, and is still imper-
fectly equipped, ragged, and half farnish'
rd-it is enough to drive even calm men
mad. Considering the available means
aud the actual results, it is the most dis
graceful failure recorded against any Gov
eminent in moier history. And this is
the requital Of the peoples confidence.
This is the fruit Of deicrential silence when
Abraham Lincoln chose TO relieve his
subordinates by making haste to assume
the responsibility. 1t is high time that
this paSsiyeneSs was ended"

TREASON. New York Times, a
leading Republican organ, "bOlds the Ad-
ministration itself responsible for the re-
verses suffered by the Union arms, and
threatens revolution" unless it changes
its course. 1t says, what the people
want is a Government adequate to the
emergency "a Government strong enough
to meet any danger however great-strong
in will, strong in judgment, strong in re-
sources, and strong in the confidence and
respect Of the people. President Lincoln's
Government is not strong in any of these
respects" In other words it is . failure,
q miserable failure. This is strong Ian
guage, and if uttered by Democrat would
be regarded as reasonable, and its author
would be imprisoned for giving "aid and
comfort" to the enemy.

DIsGRAcEFUL.-AW Washington telegram
says that the Postofice Department re-
ceives from seventy-6ve to a hundred let
tiers per day from the State Of New York
alone, making applications for confrma.
tons for appointments to assistant post
masterships, to avoid drafting. In one
day, the dispatch adds, Oneida county
sent fifteen such applications. This is
the Republican style of sneaking out Of
liability to do military duty. All these
applicants insist upon vigorous prOsecu-
ton of the war, and profess to be eager to
fight for the old flag. The greatest brawl-
ers are invariably the greatest towards,
and the men who are constantly harping
about their loyalty are traitors at heart
and require watching.
