To ne Editor Of TAs T. Tvibuaa
SIR: From tho moment the announcement was
made that the Governors of the loyal States wers "a
meet at AllOors the semi-Sscessonist nswmar,..
Of this city assaed them with rancorous mali0n;,y
that was the hes. evidsn0s that could be desiysS
that the meeting was necessary, and that The (,ox.
errors possessed power and influence which. n
exercised, might damage the hopes Of the Rsbe,s
Assembling to confer upon the psrils of the nt;oo
aud the best means Of sverting them there was N
subject to which every intelligent mind-loysI 0,
disloysl-nore Immediately reverted as one nkslv
to engage tie attention Of the Governors than The
character Of the Generals at the head of our armies
The loyal people hoped that the Governors would
not hesitate faithfully and respectfully to demonstrate
with the National Government on this subject; tho
disloyasts were alarmed and enragsd at the thought
that the Governors might do 90 and they forthwith
ridiculousy denounced any discussion of that ques.
ton trsitorousIy hostile to the Administration.
This was natural, and when it was asserted in ,bs
Pro-Slavery press that the Governors at Altoona had
taken up the question, the loyal masses lifted 10
their hearts and rejoiced tina. 80 true and earned
and representative body as Convention Of Gov.
errors had nterposed and would entrest the Ma
tional Executive that in the East another yonr
might notbe wasted and another army destroyed By
the military abortions and cowsrdly inaction Of 10
Commanding General; and that in the West imbe.
ciity and sympathy with slaveholdiDg traitors mi.ht
not 10 allowed for another season to hold in .i::
graceful torpor the boets which the FIRE. North and
West had poured into kentucky and Tennessee i,-
the destruction Of treason. How strange, then, I'D
il seem to every patriotic mind to behold on this
occasion The TRIBUNE and The Erening Post of
this city apparently huttered by tue jeDunciaiions
Of the Pro-Savery press, filing their columns with
apoloeetic disclaimers and assurances that the Cove
errors were guilty Of no such presumption ms To ds.
cuss he Shortcomings demerits Of McClella, r
H.lock or Buell.. This exhibition On the part Of
those leading organs Of loyal public sentiment was
really mos, unworthy, and The TRIBUNE especially
as,onshed all earnest men ia its issue Of Saturday,
Sept. D. when il said, 10 leading editorial on the
subject:
badly lad those Governors assembled whom tho sey
noure press Of this State with Of it's conf.dersiss
s.ewhsre gar TO Disseminate oircumautsi reports Thea
the Governors dsm.nded the removal Of Gen McCeian
with other acts gross mperinence and sunz preump
tion"
Does THr TRIBUNE consider il " a gross impsri-
nence' ard an insulting presumption TO ask or W
dema, that q General be removed, though our
cause and our country be bleeding and helpless,
while LIE controls and holds in check the strength
and courage, the brave soldiers Of TIE nation
do not believe that TIE TRIBUNE dces Then why
pen such paragraph!
am no disciple or advocate Of the doctrines Of
the politicians OF the State Rights school, but am
equally or more averae to the policy that would an.
nibilae in our system the States, and their just su
thoriiy and influence. They form the wheel within
wheel-our special pride and strength the nan,
part within the outer wall, where freedom can still
find refuge and defense, though that outer wall
be beaehed or betrayed, and from which, again ad.
vaneing, Liberty may retake the cuter liue it Lad
lost. fervently hope that We may never sea the
exgency arise but the day may come when the
power Of the States, and the wisdom, and loyalty,
and union of their Governors, would be our only
trust While sustaining our National Admluistra'
ton with all our energies and all hearts, let usees
to it that we do not in this day of doubt end dam
ger ,nfeebe or diierejt legitimate constituted
power that We may yet rejoice that We had IRE.
served TO fall back upon for life and delivsrance.
