TO yote. but not Rend.

To Vote, but not xend.
AN order has been issued prohibiting the cir
cnIation of ali newspapers In the army of the
Potomac. Similar orders have been Issued iii
nam uortions of the southwest, though, in the
latter case, the prescription is limited TO demo-
crafIc uewF papers.
The legislature of Wisconsin insists that our
,oidiers shall vote, and republican generals in
sist that they shall not read the newspapers. Il
likes no miraculous degree Of perception to see
the a.surdity of the arrangement. Yet il is pre-
cisely that sort of an arrangement which suits
rannbliclu purposes and ensures them the preat-
est success.
We take the above from the Milwaukee Necs,
The only foundation for it. is The prohibition of
the circulation of The Chicago times by %severaI
of our generals in the field, on account of its
well-known and professed reasonable cbaract>
er. The Milwaukee Meas, as reckless a sheet
as that is, will not say that the Chicago Ttmss
is loyal to the Union or tn Government of the
United States, or a paper calculated to teach
uat,iotism or attachment to The Union cause al
the present time. 1t il only loyal to the seces>
sionists and rebels, and we venture to say that
TeDEl EtiSIdiS VI IulSiS WIN many Nv NApSShNH
to its circulation throughout their army. They
would consider it one of the most efficient aids
to the rebel cauas
The Editor of the Neps knew very we'll that
20 order had been issued prohibiting the circu-
lation of ali newspapers in the army of the Pc
tomac.' That was a falsehcod made up with
no other intent than to create prejudice against
the administration, and in so lar to give aid
and comfort TO the rebels.
"A fellow feeling makes US wonderous kind, :
ard she Nens takes up the quarrel of its yoke
fellow, the Chicago Times, and can only make
out a case, by basing its remarks upon @ n0io,
rious falsehood. And in that connection, il
canuot forego the opportunity OF a gibe at ouI
Legislature that allows soldiers the right of suf-
rage. The editor of the Ners also knows bet
Ger than to believe the statement with which he
winds up his item. He knows very well that
ignorance and wan Of information on the issues
and current history OF the day, neEer get have
added to Republican success. He knows also
that the great strongholds of the modern Dem
ocratic party, are those localities where there
are few or no papers circulated, and where be-
sotted ignorance and vice hold most absolute
sway. He has not so soon forgotten where the
great majority of votes came from that ELECTED
a Democratic Governor ofNew York. Mo-
need we go to New York for illustration of til
falsity of this item of the NesS. We will JUS
ask the editor from what counties his party get:
its largest majorities, in this State Z Are they
the counties in which the most reading is done
The NerS will not pretend it. .

Is doomed to disappointment The Senate tn

The following action was had on the resolu

The Joint resolution from the Senate to ad

up.
Mr.. HANSON moved to strike out all the ms
terial portion, and provide for receiving no me-
business after the 10Th of March. Lost.
Mr.. sANBOkN moved to table the resolu
ton.
The motion, prevailed, a few Republican
and the whole Democratic side voting for it.
We regret this action of the Assembly. Thi
Legislature owed it to the Republican majoiit!

the burden ofTaxes, State and National, to max
this as short a session as possible, comaptibl
