REPUBLICAN CLAMORS.

The earnest adjurations addressed to US by
one of the two papers which sustain the Ad-
ministration with a constancy that never fall
ters receive little reinforcement from other
leading Republican journals If We took to our
selves the latitude Of complaint aud the impor-
tunity Of demand allowed to those of the latter
which stand the highest in reputation for loyalty
and influence, we should be astonished at our in
trepidity Latterly we observe that the Republ-
can journals which " stand by the President" and
the /" Proclamation" show the composition and
6ercs quality of their support by " demanding"
the removal of Mr.. Secretary SEWARD from the
place he holds at the head of the Cabinet and of
Gen HALLEoK from the place he holds at the
head of our armies. This is the latest style Of
"loyalty," and because we do not join in the cry,
or seek to harass the President by either the one
or the other Of these solicitations, we suppose we
shall be charged with indifference to the welfare Of
the Republic In order to place on record one Of
these invocatons and to signify our disapprovsl Of
this attempt to disturb the President in the midst
of his official engagements, we quote tho following
from the Chicago Tribune of Monday last Speak
"Nothing IN his hands to prosper. He failed in
his Western campsigu-faled signay and lamentably-
ust where Of aptitude for affairs and far less
learning would have won brilliant and enduring success
In bic dealings with that Mcclellan ne was unfortunate
enough TO encounter dislike but not firm enough TO com
and obedience His choice OF agents for securing the
success of Pope could not have been worse When the
command that army of the Potomac was given TO Burn
side H.ecks obstinate prejudice against Hooker and i'll
placed pertinacity for bis competitor with the President
were the that the leadership went where did
We all know the result The hopeless but desperate
yalor of our men at has written in letters
that can never be efaced We do not mean TO accuse
uuusly; but the sctors n that Vcksburg tragedy Justify
themselves by charging the disaster upon Gen. Haleek
who ordered what done And disaster has succeeded
dsaser reverse has followed until the country
exhausted of its patience and weary OF toe delay calls
impatenty for change and for relief In saying what
we do we only reecho the cry that to US from every
ou.rterpet Gen Haeck out Of the wsy and let victory
step in Devouty believing that the nsoct OF the country is
not wrong, aud that all men may Judge OF the ,uccess OF
one or any number campaigns after results bave been
achieved he President TO listen 70 the countys
cry aud chow bis willingness to meet the popular demand
We assure him hatn his thorough loyalty and patriot
ism 10 his desire TO make end to the rebellion aud OF
the rebels the country has unlimited faith Ii any bame
1t is for ArdGess TO sct when the emergency demanding
promptueus and decision arrives u any censure J. be-
be permits bis sterling sense 70 be subordnaed
be theories that have not been proved Ii any are reve
it because he will not judge hs subordlnates by the
results that they attain rather then by toe ey
make faoy sneer IL is when they ask how much time
will elapse before the President finds out that his next Ia
commend is incapable Of filing bis place How much
longer all men inquire shall endure-bow many more
campaigns like Pope's how many revertes like that at
how many dsgraces patterned after that
at Vcksburg shall fncounter-beiore change Is re-
solved upon and Of affairs is put in place OF the man
Of the closet old brains 10 good sobnquet; but
young victory would meet the national want lar better
On the following day our intensely Republican
contemporary Of Chicago pursued this topic as
follows, joining Mr. Seward this time with Gen.
Hallesk in its enumeration Of +" the objects Of the
uext sacrifice" It said:
"The Senate In impatient and 80 is the country The
fret wants Sewards place filed by Of acton. There
has been enough Of pbosophc. phrase making, and halt
ing and o c0wadce overmucb say the members thereof
The country cries ont against Haeck with unanimous
voice demanding that he too shall go. The President
ia yet aud, furious Senators say, by aad by,
when Seward has leisure At Auburn to talk over with
Weed the Of his fall and Haeck sent to cOnfoe
With Mcclellan the agreement among ali that the President
did wisely to wait will be cordial 90 let those Who like
boys under tutage that they cant wat, try To make
their cases az comfortable as may be They know, or
sh h,uld know we'll We that Mr. Llacnln Is in dead
earnest that to put down this rebellion 10 the quickest
cneapest aud easiest method 10 the object Of his life that
a bas no ambition which does not accord with the highest
nterests of s country that hs has thns far evinced
apacty far superior to that OF his asssants and that
whenever the heap stirred he always comes out atop
We are content TO measure desires by bis motions
Bot in the mean time their friends not u be
cedent that Seward and Haeck vii keep their places
If they bet the wager be lad removals because, hs
sure that the war continues, they will both The 10
stpcts Of the people unerrng and lhey long ago
marked the objects Of tue next sacrifice As Cameron
Porter as Buell. Mcclellan went so VIII go the men
Of whom speak. The real zatiOu Of public expecta
tion may be deferred but il will come"
