cheered by the citizens present. and in response
thereto expressed bis devotion 90 the Union and
the necessity ola vigorous prosecution OF the war
for the suppression Of the wicked rebellion. His
speech was modest and unassumng. He re-
marked that the military icas subordinate 10 the
eiuil authority. thus repudiating all attempts Of
the former TO override supplant the latter. In
this expression be established his high apprecia-
ton of the Constitution and the institutions it
was designed 70 protect and foster. The Gen
eral evidently comprehends the true theory of
our Governmeus. and if his speech meant any
thing il was that The people should maintain Il as
established by the patriotic aud wise men who
achieved its Independence by sacrifices such as no
other people ever made. ~
We regret that General BURNSIDE did not have
the opportunity to receive true expression of
the sentiments of the people. We will not ques-
ton the motives of the men who surrounded him.
