to see one that will-psrtiy, doubt, from our
own infrmity of judgment, and partly, it is posi-
bic, by of the positive errors to which men
in office are equally liable with men out of office.
And it is to be remarked that some of those who
prescribe to their contemporaries of the press the
duty of abstaiping from all anmadversion on the
policy of The Administration at this crisis are not
found to " reck their own rede" when the occasion
presents itself for the exhibition Of meek and
trustful spirit The instant their purposes are
crossed by the Administration they fall to scolding
like so many termagants, and seem utterly obi
vious of the sl-enduring and albelieving resigna-
ton they have commended to others. As specl-
men of this class, we cite the following irate cla-
mors, extorted from the Cincinnati Times by the
removal of Gen, Rosecrans. We quote from Its
number Of the 2lst instant:

Now, we DO not cite these inf1anfmatory re-.
proactes Of our Republican contemporary for the
purpose of replying to them for it is evident that
these imputations on the good sense of the Presi-
deut, and on the military honor of Gen Hslleck,
| are just gratuitous as the fluent Indictments
brought by some others against Gen. Rosecrans to
explain his removal! Bat We do cite them for the
purpose Of showing how much sincerity there is in
some OF the appeals made by heated partisaos when
they call on their neighbors to suppress honest
convictions Of duty, lest even the modest and
candid u'terauee Of dissent from any policy of
the Administ ration may weaken its bands and
strengthen those Of the enemy. The Cincinnati
Times processes to be cry loyal paper. Wehave
no doubt that it clams..to be greatly more "oya'
paper than the National Iptellig lcer and we are
free to LAY that tried by its standard we fall very
far below its requirements. The Times processes
to be an earnest Administration paper We have
doubt that it thinks itself greatly more friendly
to the Administration than the National Inteli-
gencer ind free to say that, according to its
way of proving " friendship" We concede to all the
superiority it can possibly claim We profess no poli-
tic1 loyalty that pspiredby love for the Union,
the Constitution and by respect for the Laws. Who
profess more have nome in the proper sense Of that
