FERNANDO WooD PAINTED BY HNsrnF-It
seems that Fernando Wood made an obscure
speech in some obscure corner OF the ggeat
Mcclellan meeting or Saturday. We faa the
speech reported in an obscure column Of his
obacuro organ the NNns, and we understand
that it has been printed on slips for private
circulation i'll obscure grogshops. This speech
was very curious. Fernando said thai haewas
opposed to REORGANIZATION Of Mcclellan, and
went tc Chicago to oppose him, because Mc-
Clellan was q war man. But on the cther
hand, the consistent Fernando declared that he
would now support Mcclellan, because 10 felt
satisfied that Mcclellan meant peace when he
sGid war, and was not at al i'll earnest ii his
letter of acceptance.
Now, 10 put this case'i7 plain words, Fer

TMoR rANcE OF LARGE MNoRrY.-The
events of the last four years furnish unques-
tionable proof that one Of the essential safe.
guards cf the people in this country is the ex-
istence OF large minority party. With the
attack upon Fort Sumter in 1861 the people
dropped all party feeling and rallied as one
man in defence of their country. There was.
in fact, but one party. This fact gave the ad-
mipistration the idea that they could do as
they pleased. They believed that they could
usurp power and issue edicts without the
shadow of law, and based merely upon their
own will. Secretary Seward, under this idea,
inaugurated the system of arbitrary arrests,
which were carried on afterwards by Cameron
and Stanton until the people became alarmed.
These officials, IN fact, assumed the powers of
despots; but it aroused the people. and in the
elections of 1852, although they declared in
favor of prosecuting the war, yet they rose up
IN their might in all the Central States and re-
pudiated tho general system of arbitrarily arrest
ing individuals in oil parts Of the North outside
OF the military lines. The expression of the peo-
pie at that election was so decisive that il cor
ington saw at once that the people would not
approve any acts Of dcspotism, however cor
daily they might support them in the prosecu
ton Of the war. With that election came the
end Of these arrests, except for violation Of the
laws Of the land. except i may be one or two
cases like Vallandigbam. The latter has re-
turned, and now defes she administration,
making the Whole thing ferce.
There is no tclling where we should have
drified il tie people had net rebukca bhe au-
thorities at Washington in the fall OF 1862
That election and the power shown l'y the
minority. which oaly lacked few Of having
control in the lower house Of Congress, saved
party too powerful to be overlooked which
stood ready TO take advantage Of every erbi-
trary act of tAe ADMINISTRATION ard use it as a
weapon against the party in power before the
people. In this was Our country's safety. AS
it was in 1862 80 it will be hereafter. In the
existence of large minority party rests the
safety Of q nation, the guarantees Of the rights,
personal and political, OF our pcopie. The
larger ard more powerful the minority-in
fast, the nearer cur political paTties are
balanced IN strength and power--ths greater
secarity the people have for the preservation
Of their liberties The greatest misfor tune that
can befall this country is the existence Of a
weak and powerless minority. II males more
difference row that arbitrary acts have been
used than ever before. The preventive Of
despotism in The future rests in the existence Of
two roweriuhpolitcai parties.

s&The editor Of the Irasburgh Standard

6gThe editor Of the Irasburgh Standard
has recently made visit to the army of
the Potomac. We copy the following
from his account of his visit:
!" We found the health of the boys to
be generally speaking, remarkably good.
In the hospital of the fourth regiment
there were but six cases and most of these
were from measles all were doing we'll.
and having the attention Of an excellent
physician from the 10th New York, who
takes the place Of. DR.. Bixby who is now
in Vermont as the boys express the hope
on "long furlough." There are few
cases however not in the hospital which
can be as we'll served in their tents as at
the hospital. These are generally rheu-
mates For this complaint the weather
in winter and the tents which the boys
occupy are very poorly calculated to af-
ford any sort of relief; and the patient
has only to /" grin and bear it as phi
losophically as he is able till warmer and
dryer weather. AS to the exact number
Of sick in the hospitals of the. other regi-
ments we did not enquire, but we were H.
formed that the number was very small.
We found the hospitals much more COM
Portable than VIC had supposed, and there
is this in their favor that people at home
do not think of: one who is accustomed
to live out of doors and rough it every
day, living almost entirely in the open
air, will not suffer. that inconvenience
when placed in a tent hospital that would
beset citizen. A soldier is not so liza
BILE to take cold in tent hospital where
there is moderate circulation of pure
air, as he.would be to be transferred from
the field to warm house and close air.
10 prove their excellence we have only to
add that the sick of the regimental hos
pitfalls always get along better than those
of the general hospitals where they are
enclosed with walls of wood. We make
these remarks to ease the fears of those
who may have frieds in one of these field
hospitals" re- H
