MORE TREAsoN.-The Democratic majority IN
the Illinois legislature have proposed bill to
take all tho military power Of the State from
the hands of the Governor, even to the appoint,
ment Of the officers of the army, and vest 1t in
three COMMISSIONER ma jority Democrats, oil
course. The Governor is Commander in Chief
of the army OF the State, but this bill virtually
places him one side, and installs in his place a
triumvirate, in whose hands he is q mere pup
pet-a prisoner in his own house. 1t is one OF
the most bare-faced attempts at usurpation, and
usurpation for the basest of purposes, ever at
tempted. The mover tried to rush it through
the Senate under suspension of the rules, but
he did not succeed, and it takes the usual
course. The reason for the movement is OBJ
yious Gov Morton is Republican, and in
favor of vigorous prosecution of the war
and the Democratic majority desire to wrest
from him all power which may be used to help
the National Government against JEFF Davis.

can only judge of men by their conduct and
we can best judge of teachings by their fruits.
We know that Fitz J ohm Porter was one of the
most intimate and confidential friends of Nc
Clean, as he was one of his most trusted officers,
and when we find this same Gen. Porter prefer
ring to let the Union forces suffer severe defeat
rather than contribute to victory which should
bring fame to any other cheftain than Mcclellan
we can but condemn the teaching which should
have educated him to that infdety to his country,
and whch-if other evidence were lacking Of Nc
Cellan's sympathy with the conduct of his subor
innate ofhcer-is abundantly proved by his subss
quent approval of Porter's conduct. That the eff
fectlvsness of this army has been serouly impaired
as an agency in fighting treason, by these tricks
Of some Of its officers, it seems to US idle to deny.
And it is no answer to these charges, and no nit
lgation, but rather aggravation of the offense,
that Mcclellan was more popular than any other
General with his men, for, we regre. to say it
is this very popularity which has, in is results.
proved 81 mschievous to the Union cause If he
had been true man and patriot, and had never
given evidence Of preferring himself to his coun-
try, no matter what might have happened to his
chief Gen. Porter would never have deserted
Pope, but would have fought at Manassas as he
did at Malvern Hill.
If the malign influences which for nearly year
had been operating upon the Army of the Poto-
mac, and educating it to the point where its off,
GERS could hold their troops within sound of the
enemys guns, and not only refuse to obey the
commands of superior officers, but actually with
draw their command from the vicinity of the
enemy without striking blow for the flag they
carried, had ceased entirely to work in that same
army, it would hardly be worth while to discuss
them at this moment. But we are compelled to
believe that the poison, which, though slowly yet
surely for many months was poured into the life
blood OF the army, has not yet lost its power, if
Indeed it is not now daily being infused into the
soldiers along the Rappahannock How much of
the same spirit which animated Porter yet remains
in the army of the Potomac to still neutralize the
efforts of those who would employ that army to
strike fatal blow at treason, we cannot say. But
of one thing we quite IF that great army
that is along the Rappahannock could be moved
with the single, controlling, enthusiastic purpose
of crushing the army of traitors Lcross the river,
by the shortest and surest methods of sharp and
decisive battles, and could forever Danish from its
minds ell thought Of the past, it would instantly
become what the treasure and the lives spent in
its history ought to have made 1.-THE most po-
tent weapon in the hands of the government to
strike at the treason which has SO long defed and
confronted it.
