suspending the writ Of ha6eas eorpu'
in certain cases is aimed at the copper
beads Of the North. We say amen 10 it.
Long ago such traitors as Fernando and
Ben. Wood. Sam. Cox and Geo. E. Pugh
should have had their mouths stopped.
and their necks stretched. too; and such
paper IS the Chicago Times. Cincinnati
Enquirer. indianapolis Sentinel. Ne
dary's Crisis. Ben. Woods News, and
the like. ought to have been suppressed
and the publishers and editors banished
OF hung.
But il the proclamation is aimed al
the Union men Of this Military Depart
ment. we denounce it as an outrage
and an insult not to be tamely borne BY
the truess patriots in the land.
But ve do not believe that the Presi.
dent aims at Union men any where.
We do not believe he will sanction tho
suppression Of any truly loyal paper
II he does after his action 10 reference
to the Chicago Times We must conclude
he has lost bis reason: but We do moi
for . moment believe such is the de-
sign Of Mr.. Lincoln.
Il is true order 96 OF Gen. Scho6eld
appear TO look like threat against pa
psrs that shall erilicise his military oper.
ss'ons; but We do not appsehend that
any well tempered and just criticism
will be followed BY any &C, Of suppress
sion.
For our own part. We have never had
any confidence in the policy which pre-
vaiis in Missouri; and ten thousand or
ders S6 will not increase our respect
for that suicidal policy-suicidal if its
advocates are for the Union. We be-
iieve in hanging rebels. or in shooting
tLem down when found with arms in
their hands; and in banishins them
when their treason only extends 10 &C
tive sympathy With the South. . OF
course. We do not believe in putting
United States aims into their hands 20

allowing them any rights under our
governmsns.except the right to be kill.

We do not believe the Missouri policy
Is calculated to subserve the Union
cause. or bring peace to that Safe or
the border. We are opposed to it. We
think it is radically wrong; and If the
expression of this honest conviction j,
to put US under the ban Of the De.
partment commander,i it will have 10 be
50. that is all.
Personally, We have no ilI-wiIl to-
wards Gen. Scho6eld. We are willing
to conceds him a truly loyal man and a
patriot. But the Missouri policy will
never result in any thing but strife and
predatory warfare: and no Genera, c.r
succeed under j..
if peace we're declared to-day, rebels
and Union men could no. live together
In Missouri in peace. A rebel has no
business TO live under the peaceful pro-
lection Of the Stars and Stripes. and
least Of all. q miserable. coutemp,ible
Missouri bushwhacking rebel. II he
lived by q Union man the latter could
not help feeling seoru for him; and his
Crime would b. thrown up 10 bis teeth.

our side is nat Going it: At least not do

on the rebels with soit corn, while Alsy
are shooting down Union men at every
chance!
We repeat it. that with such a policy
the best General on the continent can.
moi succeed. And he osgbt not: the
policy is unworthy Of success.
We wish Gsssral seho6eld and every
other Union ol6esr. The most abundah.

Geu. Ewing. as commander of the
District Of tie Border. would not be
governed BY the Missouri policy. aud
he MAS wise for taking this stand.
