President Lincoln has seen enough and suffered
enough from his conceited but laundering mi
litary subordinates in the War Department t.
satisfy him that the very best thing he can dc
is TO take the reins into his own hands, and
push forward the war, without loss of time, to
that one all-importsnt object-the complete
defeat and breaking up of the rebel army Of
Virginia.
The Country Press Upon the New York
/ Riots.
It is remarkable how delighted the country
papers are because We have had . great riot in
New York. The editors Of that rightangled
and wrong-minded village, paradoxically called
Philadelphia, are especially jubilant over this
interesting fact Taking the recent riots as
text, they invent the most marvellous stories in
regard to the excess Of criminals in our popu-
| lation, and then slash at and abuse these imagi-
| nary wretches with all the ardor Of DON
Quixote fighting mythical giant, or poor
Greeley replying to bogus letter from Rich.
mond, or the Chevalier Raymond scampering
from phantom Austrian hussar at Solferino.
These Philadelphia scribblers remember to
forget that there have been antinegro riots
and anti-Catholic riots in their own village
Of brotheriy love. When they call US hard
names they only stigmatizs themselves. Their
curses, like the Arabs chickens, come home to
roost. They live in very fragile glass houses,
and the stones they throw could easily be
hurled back at them if the game were worth
the exertion- The only difference between our
riots and those Of Philadelphia is that we
riot, as we do everything else, on grand
scale, while Philadelphia never amounts to
much either In peace or war.
The Chevalier Forney is foremost, as usual, in
the dirty work Of abusing this city. We once
heard Of man who was afflicted with the vel.
low fever and the smallpox at the Same time,
and this man reminds US of Forney. The Che
Waller Forney always was mean fellow; but
since he has turned radical abolitionist his
stock ofmeanness has been more than doubled
1t would be sufficient infany for any ordinary
man to have the reputation OF kitchen maid in
poor Pierce's Cabinet; but, not contented'with
this bad notoriety, the Chevalier Forney de-
sceuded . step lower, and became the scaven-
ger Of Secretary Stanton. If we adopt the
phraseology Of the old genealogies, we'may
say that the Chevalier Forney is the funRy Of
Stanton, who is the HuHky Of Chase, who is,ths
funky Of Wilson, who is the funky of Sum.
ner, who is the funky Of Wade. who issthe
aunky Of Wendell Phillips, who is the Chief
Hunky of Satan. Having thus traced
the connections Of Chevalier Forney in direct
line to the Father Of Lies we do not wonder at
81 L. 10 m -
cannot expect any man to perform impossibili-
ties, audit is plainly impossible for the Cheva-
lier Forney to tell the truth even by accident.
II is utterly useless, therefore, to attempt to-
convince Forney Of his errors and make>him re-
pent Of his SINS The only way to deal with him
is TO treat him with contemptuous indiESfence;
regarding him, not 40 an intelligent human
being, but ~ phenomenal Instance Of total
natural depravity, aggravated by manY yearss Of
indulgence in all kinds Of voluntary vices.
But If there be any members Of Fornsg's
party In Philadelphia who ere foolish enough to
believe what the newspapers of'that village say
Of the riots here we desire to call their atten-
ton to two facts First, That's the newspapers
and politicians Of their own party caused the
riots; and, second, that ovr militis regiments
| were defending Pennsyiv ania when the riots
>occurred. The Philadbiph ians, although far be-
ghind the age, must certais ly remember the re-
publican riots Of 1851, when, Newspaper
Sofices were mobbsa and private dwellings
swere attacked in ehil adelphia az well as in
other places througho ut the country. These
sriots were Of the ssms pattern, as the Fugitive
ESlave law riots, wsre. instigated by the same
