Gen. Wadsworth had been urged to be a can
didate in 1860, but refused to do 80, believing
that Gov. Morgan ought to be reelected. Gov.
Morgan must, on this and other accounts,
cessor to one who had never even voted for
him.
V. The Editor of The Journal has consOrted
80 much with Pro-Sayery Democrats of late,
and been so welcomed to their sympathies aud
their couusels, that he fails very naturally into
the use of their catchwOrds; but that does not
make them true 1t is false that those with
whom we act sought or desired to - narrow
down" or pervert the issue which involved the
National existence. We have so often repealed
this calumny that we feel justified in treating
it without ceremony. II the Editor OF The
Journal SAYS he believes that the Government
should further have borne and forborne with
the great underlying cause of all our woes, he
is entitled to be deemed the bess authority
with regard to his own views aud convictions;
and 50 Gen. Wordsworth and the Two Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Republican voters Of our
State who hold with us that the Rebellion is
only to be electually smltten through ITS pa
rent and inciter, Slavery, are entitled to

really believe so or do not by what
right, with what reason, does Thurow
Weed or any other man tell us that we
arc cheats aud dssemblers that we do not
strike at Slavery in order to put down the
Rebellion, but oppose the Rebellion 10 order to
put down Slavery We certainly do most in
tensely hate both parent and chd-we hold
them unloyely aud detestabe in their lives, and
in their deaths not to be diyidcd-but we do
most sincerely believe that the Rebellion can
most effectively be assailed aud most surely be
crushed though the heart OF its iiendlsh pro-
genitor. So eyideatly believe our ambassadors
at all the leading Courts of Europe so thinks
President LINCOLN, as appears by explicit and
solemn assertions IN his Proclamation Of Free
dom. SO thinks Gov. SEWARD, if we may ac-
cept his official circular OF even date with that
document to oil our Diplomatic and Consular
