Rrom the Green Bay CWis) Advocate.

/
So far as this war is concerned, eVery
true American will support the President
now, not because he is the President, but
because he is the only channel thrOsRh
which We can give practical aid 70 the
country, to our State, to our neighbOrs, 20
ourselves. The people are the power, but
they cannot administer it. This war can
not be carried on through mass meetings.
II We withhold power, the President can
not exercise Il. He has 10 inherent power
because he is President. He is personally
weaker than almost any man yOn will meet
on the farm or in the street. But being
the only medium through which We can
exercise power, we only defeat ourselves
in defeating him. We shall not injure him
any more than We shall each other. If he
has done wrong in any particular we may
overthrow him and prevent his doing
wrong again, but We will deprive him Of
the means TO do right, and { the same
time despOil ourselves Of the means to rid
the country of other and very greater evils.
He has imprisoned certain men and sup
pressed certain newspapers. Il is an irrele-
want question at this moment whether those
men and newspapers were right or wrong.
We can afford to sacrifice for while those
few men and newspapers for the public
good, just as We take private property for
public uses. The griefs will have their
remedy when there is time, and instead of
haltiDg now TO adjudicate them, We had
better address ourselves to worse dangers
which are besettiug us. We have NO faith |
in the patriotism and loyalty of those men |
and newspapers who, If ever so deeply |
WroDged even, are crying out that the at |
tenti0u of the land should be turned to
them. The walls of Fort Lafayette are
hal n 80 . g.
be sent within them, but the terror of an-
archy or the rule Of the rebellion will be
found more unpleasant to us all If we en-
counter them. There is no danger of the
North losing its liberties through support
ing the administration in its coBduct of
the war. We have now been engaged for
two years, with all the energy and will of
the nation, in the work of subduing q re-
belliOn which no decent man dare say is
not unholy, and our efforts have only met
with indifferent success. Is Il more pOssi-
BILE to cope with the enterprise of taking
away the liberties of the North II Il Is
costing two millions day in eudeaVoring
TO make the South obey the just laws Of
the land, no arithmatic within our knOEl-
edge contains q formula for estimating the
expense Of making thetl North yield Obedi-
5neo 70 tttgjlst ones. ThS anon who are /
continually crying 0ntlthat their liberties
ire in danger, are OF course honest, and
;anDOt desire that their if6reb0dings prove
'orrect but We have noticed since very
one among them has been nom
mated for Governor In consequences Of los
ng his liberty, the number aud Vehemenee |
If this class Of patriots has vastly increas-
ID. They exceeded the anxiety OF those 4
Lncient maidens who, at the taking Of
Ome city, We forget where, wondered when
he sacking and so on would commences.

for any emergency. .-C Chattanooga Rebel.
We think the Rebel Is unnecessarily de-
spondent about Charleston. Il is true she
may, in time, succumb TO superior numbers
and heavier ordnance, but the numbers are
not there yet, and the hopes Of successful
defense have grown with every day since
the beginning of the siege, and so has the
strength of the position. The Charleston
ians don't believe that their city will be
taken. and we shall not believe L until it
is done.-TeLsgrGph

ungrudgingly to the Southern partisans all
the scraps of comfort they can manage to
extricate from the late news. The rays Of
hope will be little clearer than the sun

read what the Southern journals say, and
We learn there that even If the South does
not yield, il no longer hopes to win; that
even If it still defies, It likewise despairs
