We understand that General Law WALLACE
1. named Of the speaker. at the series Of The
80 called Union meetings announced by the abo
lion organs TO be held at different places in the
State Gen. WALLACE has not filled these ap-
rointments to address political gatherings. We
presume he does not regard IL his duty TO do so.
While he holds the office of Major General IN the
army Of the United States. his services are due
20 the whole country. not 10 political party.
A. gallant soldier should be. he Is ready and
anxious to take the field against the enemies Of
the Republic. and we take il for granted that he
does not feel il incumbent upon him 10 obey the
behests Of the committees Of partisan organize

Of all the loyal States in furnishing soldiers

grandrement. aud we hope no such influences
are operating to prevent General WALLACE re
ceiving that consideration which j. due not only
to the high position he occupies. but the State he
represents.
