the President in revoking that part OF
General Burnside's order suppressing the
publication of the Chicago Times will
meet with general appreciation. What
ever doubts and differences Of opinion
may exist as TO the proceedings against
Vallandigham, we can imagine none con-
cerning the oUe1-zealousness which prompt
ed General Burnsides last order. The
Chicago Times Is one of the most shame
less and pestilent sheets printed at the
North. Few equal it. IL abundantly
deserves the execration of every one who
has a iot of patriotism or manhood IN his
composition. But it is published in 10y
al State, where the discharge of their
functions by the civil courts are not inter-
fered with, either by invasion, or by actu-
| al or, $50 far as we know, even by
threatened instruction, and can, without
hindrance, deal with its offences. If it
tended to demorahze the army, its exclu-
| sion from their lines alone would remedy
the evil; or its exclusion by the govern
ment from the privilege OF the U. 5. mail,
! through which TO circulate It's foul and trea-
sonable utterances, would be a much less
/ questionable proceeding, at least, than
that attempted by General Burnside
/ But the forcible and military seizure of the
newspaper office ITSELF and entire suppress
sion of its publication, is certainly, so far
as we can see, without legal justification,
! in the present condition Of affairs in Hi
nois and throughout the North. General
Burnside's hearty loyalty and right rnten-
tons are unquestionabe His yea, 'or
patriotic indignation, must in this instance
have outrun his discretion. The action of
the President will increase the confidence
of the loyal people in himself.
As a epecimen of the style Of the
/ Times, and also because it is said to have
been the article which was the immediate
cause Of General Burnside's proceeding,
we give the following from the columns of
that sheet:
g No one who sees Mr.. Lincoln now can
fail to be struck with his altered appear
ance as compared with his looks two years
| ago. He looks ten years older, and the
expression of his face is haggard and care
worn in the extreme. His eye is restless
and is constantly wandering at most
times with vacant expression at others
in manner indicative of positive terror.
! He has eNuctly the demeoa0T of man
2ghOSe rest is broken By yem0rse, and to
aohose piJloac tranquil sleep is a stranger.
| God kaoWS he has done enough TO cause
| him q lifetime Of rensorse. But he has
been made the tool of men who, knowing
the weakness and irresolution of his char
acter, placed him where he is in order that
they might guide and direct his actions,
and make him the instrument to work
their will. He is, and has been for months
nothing more than the servant of Ben
Wade, Chandler, Sumner and Horace
Greeley. He realizes the fact now, and
strives to emancipate himself from their
malign influence, but in vain. They com
| l9eJJed him to issue his emancipation proc
lamatioa !; to dismiss Gen. McCJeJlaa,
Gen. Sumner, Gen. Porter and Gen.
Franklin from the army; to appoint the
butcher Of Fredericksburg to s@PpJnnt
Mcclellan to place the gallant army Of
the Potomac under the lead of the boast
ing Hooker. They have compelled him
to keep Hooker in command Of the army
when the whole country knows that by
doing so its efficiency is entirely destroyed
And they instituted the infamous pro
ceedings against Vallandigham, and com
PEELED the President to approve them, and
sustain Burnside. Such are the men who
control the destinies of this once free Re-
public"
