that Of the country. We are glad tba. be has
a; last decided to show these demagogues the
door. help them out Of it, and be the President
himself.
SINCE ny arrival here there have returned
to this city and State, from the Army Of the
Potomac, from twelve to fifteen thousand Of its
best soldiers. Most. II not all Of these. are
men Of education and intelligence. They went
to the war from motives Of patriotism and
without any views Of selfad7aucement they
have participated in all the hariships ard
dangers Of the sanguinary campaigns Of Virgil
MA ard Maryland. and from their superior
discipline and valor have earned the designa-
ton accorded BY Napoleon to his veterans Of
The Cd Guard" Now, we know no class
whose views and sentiments it is more impor-
tant 70 consult, in the present position Of our
affairs. than these men. They have studied
attentively the course Of the Administration
in connection with the conduct of the war
they have been personally affected by the va
rious changes that it has been thought proper
to effect in the command of the army to which
/ they belonged they have had the fullest or
/ portunities Of appreciating the merits and de-
merits Of the successive generals under whom
they have served; and, as their lives have
been staked on the competency and energy Of
their commanders, their opinions have, upon
all these points, an incontestabe value. In
the present vascillatng and mistrustinr condi-
ton Of the public mind, and with an Admins
tration utterly without Judgment or military
foresight, we must seek for guidance where ex-
/ perienee and freedom from political prejudices
unite to point the way. These returned sol
diers Of the Army of the Potomac are the op-
pOrtunely arrived Nestors of our difficulties
They are the practical statesmen who are to
fnd a solution for the obstacles that have
hitherto prevented the triumph Of our arms
That the radicals are fully sensible of this is
evident from the efforts made By the broken
down politicians of the party to prevent them
paying a tribute of their respect, on their arr-
val in this city, to their old commander, Gen
Mcclellan. There is nothing that they dread
more just now than any manifestation of this
/ kind.
/ This sensitiyeness on the part of the Repub-
/ lican leaders has brought out a proposition
from the press TO convene these returned sol
diers from all parts of the State in mass meet
ing, in order TO obtain a full and untrammelled
/ expression of their sentiments on the conduct
of the campaigns through which they have
passed with so much honor TO themselves but
unfortunately, with so little advantage to the
country The opinions enunciated there will
have powerful influence IN dispeiling the illu
sioas created by the misrepresentation of
partisan journals, and may have the effect of
aping the future course of the President and
of inducing him to cast out from bis Admins
tration the men whose imbecility and foolish
ambition have been the main obstacles to the
Successful prosecution of the war
PEACE MEET1yG.-A Peace meeting was
recently held in this city, under the more i'm
mediate supervision Of the Mozart Hall De
mocracy, headed By Fernando Wood. Imme
diately after this meeting Wood visited Wash
ington and called upon Uncle Abe, at the
White House, where he was received with dis
tnguished consideration. The Abolition press
have been saying hard things of Wood and
the Peace meeting, with which he was con-
nected. Since his reception at the White
House, and by the various departments, are
not the mouths of these \ BOLTON presses
closed by the acts of their own officials? 1t
is charged By them and admitted. that Wood
is worse than Ealiaudigham." Vallandigham
was sent to Fort Warren, and erjied, while
Wood is admitted in Washington to the hgh- /
est honors Of repeated stti9gs." Wood, be
ing the traitor Vallandigham is, deserves the
same fate,-while the President exiles one. and
admits TO the high honor of repeated sittines"
the other Let US hear no more of Wood
from the Abolition press, until at least, he'is
exiled as Vallandigham was It will not do
to say, Eallandigham was IN Ohio, where no
Governor Seymour is to protect him" and
that therefore ." the President does not wish
to come into collision with State" because
Wood, when in Washington, in the Presidents
White House. was out Of the jurisdiction Of
Governor Seymour, and Washington is under
Martial Law, while Ohio was not. These
being facts. We respectfully. if not politely say
abolition Journals hold your tongues"
NIAGARA.-I could not forego the tempta-
ton to visit this famous place, on my way
down to this city, and accordingly took pas
sage on the great Western Railway through
Canada Leaving Detroit, or rather Windsor,
opposite Detroit at p. NJ, we passed thro
her Majesty's domiuions without an opportu-
nifty to see much of the country along the
route We arrived at Suspension Bridge after
daylight however, and had good view Of that
