The Tribune On Loyalty.

The New York Tribune of tho 18th inst, =,
has an editorial which is rather abhorrent to
the sense of largo majority of the Abolish
The TrJuue says
ga citizen of FREQ country has a perfect
right to different with its rulers to critcsc
them, aud to vote to supercede them. All
this is consistent with the most perfect, zeal
Gus loyalty. Nayi loyalty may imparatiyely
require it.
No one is less loyal because hc thinks arr
btrary Arrests needless, or that there have
been great many moro than there need have
been, any moro than for holding Gas we do)
that the mistake was not in arrestng but in not
striking at higher game, and not merely ar
resting, but proceeding 10 indict, try, convict
and punish. On this subject true patriots
have differed, will differ, and have u perfect
right to differ.
ga loyal citizen has perfect right to hold
the Emancipation policy and the Aiming Of
Blacks unwsc.
awe can conceive that loyal man may
oppose the National organization of our Mil.
itia."
The above is much more liberal to the
"Buttcrnuts" than might DO expected from
that quarter. Democrats are denounced as
traitors for claiming the privilege of doing
just what tho New York Tribune says is loyal
aud proper.

guilty OF libel as was the editor OF the 1qc,
and in the estimation Of men he Is much more
guilty, because he and Mr.. DINNocK had 20
quarrel, political or otherwise, to prompt
him to make such publication; he was actu-

The Editor OF the Republican
has found n Mares Nest

The smut machine has "big thing" In
letter purporting to bc from one JAMES M.
CRAio, In which he orders the Farmer discon-
tinucd bacausc, as he says, it must be loyal
to be interesting, and because the name of
"the traitor VArLASpiGuAM" Is raised to its
mast head. CRAiG says he is a Democrat.
Wei, if he is, it shows one conversion for he
wss never considered reliable at homo.
The Farmer was sent to CRAIG, by request
of his brother, n few weeks last fall but there
has not boen copy sent to him from this of
flee since December last. Since that time
cross the lines of the army, hence we bavc
not boen sending the Farmer to any soldiers,
East or West.
For twenty years We have been constantly
assailcd by slang from opposition politicians.
We expect nothing else in our political inter.
course with them, and We arc perfectly indif.
iercnt in regard to it caring not from whom
1t comes, whether in or out of tho army.
A man in the army is no more ct to Judge
of the loyalty or honest purposes OF another
than is civilian. He has no greater license
to use vulgar, false and uugentemanly Ian
guoge.
Mr.. CRAlG shows how much ho knows of
the Farmer by asserting that Mr.. VALLASDIG.
HAMS name is at its mast. head for President
The paper bears testimony to tho fllsity Of
that declaration. If Mr.. CRAIG Is seeking
an appointment, which we understand to be
the case, he took the right plan to secure it.
but if he wanted to flourish trumpcts and do
ga big thing" at our expense he only succeo-
dcd in "writng himself an ass" The letter,
bearing on its face the evidence Of business
character, surchargod with plentiful flow OF
dirty billingsgate, Mr.. GRIFFITH would not
have published had he been a gentleman.
