history straight in the matter Of the capture
Of the forts below New Orleans. Referring to
statement which recently appeared in the
Boston raj from one Of the men who
served under Farragut. TINT the forts were

THE PRESIDENT.

We entreat cur friends to be content
The President needs no defenders. His
rindication, foreseen by his vast sagacity,
always comes to silence complaint, and
though men seem sometimes to justly cen
sure his tardiness in action when the nc
cessity is imminent, no man can know as
well as he the embarrassment which make
tardiness a duty. BE has a wide and
clear view Of the field. Hehows the civil
rs well as the military necessities Of the sit
uation, and must balance one against the
other. His critics seeing but part-here
a salient fact and there discouraging
: combination.;grow impatient and scold.
They do wrong; they have not learned
from his antecedcntsto to be patients and wait,
though the outcome Of all that has hereto
fore excited their mnrmurs bids them keep
still and bide; not their time, but his. 1tr.
LINCOLN will justify himselfagain. The SEN
ate is impatient, and so is the country. The
first wants Eeward's place filed by a man
Of action. There has been enough Of phil
osoplical phrase making, and Of halting
and Of cowardice oyermuch, say the men,
bcrs thereof The country cries out against
-Ha1leck with an unanimous voice, demand
ing that he, too, shall 60. The President
is impasaive yet, and, furious Senators say,
By and by, when Seward has leisure at
Auburn to talk over with Weed the causes
Of his fall, and Hal1eck is sent to coudole
Mcclellan, the agreement among all that the
President did wisely to wait, will be cordial.
So let those, who, like boys under tutelage,
aver that they can't wait, try to make their
cases as comfortable as may be. They
know, or should know, as well as we that
Mr. Lincoln is in dead earnest; that to put
down this rebellion in the quickest, cheapest
and easiest method is the object Of his life;
that he has no ambition which does not
accord with the highest interests Of his
country; that he has thus far evinced
'sagacity far superior to that Of his assis-
tants; and that, whenever the heap is
stirred, he always comes out atop. We
are content to measure our desires by his
motions =
But, in the meantime, We warn their
friends not to be confident TINT. Seward
and Halleck will keep their places. If
they bet, let the wager be laid On removal;
because as sure as that the war continues
they Will both go. The instincts Of the
people IRE. unening, and they long ago
marked the objects Of tho next sacrifice.

Clellan went, SO will 50 the men Of whom
We speak. The realization Of public ex-
