Hr0d. the y J. Journal Of Cop,merce. the
y. J. World, and other papers Of kindred

has devoted It's energies to shouting tha rrals-

at ahoi.uoui.ts and radicals, (that is, at all
who are not supporters OF slayery.) in the
n.r., wiki daily iteration that has been
both disgusting and mI-chieyous.
Now. as our readers well know, we have
never been eager @, condemn that General,
and have been ready to admi, that there
may bava been great obstacles in the way
Of bi- -lccs--, Obstacles beyond bis power
of removal, and f9r which Ee was not to

It has been 20 in regard to its support of the |
Government. It daily and unscrupulously |
abused the President, and praised the
locirues and schemes Of the rebels. ard /
their proposed rebel Coniederacy, up to the

Sumter startled the loyal heart Of the North.
Then. under the instant terror Of popular

All the shouting and throwing up Of caps in

There may be much or little truth in them
But it IS certain that the army is not unani-
