Noble words, uttered by one who probably

opinion, and they are worthy Of being needed
and adopted by every true lover of his country.

Stsnd by the Administration, for it is worthy
Of oil support. Never since our country had a
name, has il been surrounded with such dangers

Need we urge Republieans, in this time
''which tries mems souls" to lay aside any pecu-

policy Of this or that measure, to cease finding
fault with this or that fanced error of the Presi

FAITH IN IT.. Under our form Of Government |
the President has the controlling power Of the |
military arm Of the nation. 1t 10 he who gives |

sxertipg that power in the right direction in the
effort to crush out the most gigantic rebellion

There is no other safe course for the loyal

would certainly succeed, and the Union fall at
