BILE echo Of this stalwart cry OF the people;
"Thst this UrIon shall never be severed-no

that they have hurried so many ofyou irom
your seats here. The epi,aph upon this Con-

! The dismissal OF General Mcclellan was iusl
titled because it was alledged, he had not
dash or movement eDongh to satisfy the elec-
tors Of the country. Facts, in letters and
dispatches which are yet to trsnspire, will

ond thtt eie were other reasons for the
dismissal. My distinguished and sagacious
friend from Illinois Mr. Richardson infer.

was, that Mcclellan did not agree with tho
emancipation and other radical schemes Of
the Cabinet. lssassert here as TACT, which

Of my friend, that the President was, about
the middle OF July, in6rmed distinctly Of the
mode by which and the principles upon which
General Mcclellan intended the war to be
conducted and the Union saved. He was
advised that Mcclellan diSspproved Of any
iniraction Of the laws Of civilized warfare;
that he disapproyed Of arbitrary arrests in
places where the irsurrec,ions did not pre-.
vail; that he did not contemplate any seisurs
OF private property for the support Of tho ar
my, or for Furnishing and desoiating the re~
gion invaded: but that be earnestly pleaded
tina: the war should be carried on as duel
between organized armies and not against
non combatants; that the institutions Of the
State should be protected; that no pruciama-
on of Freedom incensing sersile race to
indiscriminate massacre Of helpless whites,
aud inviting the destruction Of unoffending
blacks should be permitted; in Rne that
wherever it was possible, tho military should
be Subordinate to the civil authority, and
the Con ttu,io alone should be the guide
and glory OF heroic sacrificed
This plan did not suit Iadicaism. It was
not obnexious to The President in the sum<
mer, but, somehow, it became so in the ialls
and hence the General Of the Potomac sud-
denly became unskilled 10 the art OF war;
His science in creating and inspiring an army
after Bull Run was forgotten. His grand
movement and splendid fighting before Rich
mond was ignored. His attempt to take
Richmond was beltled, slthough hc piead,as

His cavalry was driving the enemy before

No, sir, this removal Of the general, whose
genuine patriotism and skilliul genius had
inspired the army with enthusiasm, was
sacrifice to appease the Eboty Feich. But
he Was displaced Tor Burnside, true; and he
told his army to stand by Burnside 81 they
had by him. And the noble Burnside had
told us that Mcclellan was ''an honest, chris
