East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1864-04-06

TO serve the end Of your cause, you
hayc made hero out Of man upon
whom you have la,i he'd everything,
had every obstacle removed from his
path, and who was romdtly furnish
ed with embellishments and supplies
while Rosecrans could get none and
who has scarcely been able 10 hold,
with the immense resources at his
tho ground which his pre-
deccssor gained in spite Of you by his
own talents
You have offered It's the distressing
spectacle of the sacrifice of merit TO
caprice and personal political inter-
csts, and this in republic, in the
name and under the plea of popular
sovereignty.
And 10 cop the climax we are oblig-
oil to hear definitions like this: An
Internationally loyal man is one who,
though not satisfied with the meas
ures taken by tho government, mp
proves them all and gives his constant
1t seems almost increditable. Are
wo in Constantinople, in st. Peters
burg, in Rome or in Paris? Are we
the descendants of thoseproud Saxons
who refused TO sucoumb to any yoke,
or the illegititimate offspring Of cardi-
mails seeking to secure fortune and
greatness by perpetual Worship Are
we really the descendants Of those
Disciples of Luther and Calvin, who,
rather than subject their reason to an
authority which they despiseJ, pre-
ferred to expstriate themselves to
those shores, where, through the agen-
cy of liberty, they found our national
greatness which you are now striving
TO drown in sea Of cowardice and
adulation, corruption and incompetent
cy? Were our anco stors TO visit the
earth, they would certainly be surpris-
cd to see that, eighty years after tho
revolution which gave life and liberty
to the nation, the Lincoln party could
find no other definition Of loyalty than
q blind submission to the decrees Of
the government.
But we have exercised this blind
and mutc submission during three
years; during three years we have
kept silent-and what is more gener-
Gus than silence
Some true radical patriots said not
long since, We have lost confidence
in Fremont. What has he done OF
said for year prst Z"
What could he do I? what could he
say? He hns done for you what But
10. aud Sieel have done; what we all
done: he has been charitable enough
to keep silence, and that is moro than
he should have done. In the face of
so much incapacity and corruption,
patriotism alone has kept us silent
Each time that fresh defeat OF q
fresh concession to foreign powers
brought an indignant exclamation to
our lips, We restrained its utterance.
And yet have much grief, and love,
and admiration, accompanied each
hetacomb of these unknown heroes,
to their country, who have
fallen, through the incompetency and
the cold, Unsuitable ambition of the
men whose ambition it was to lead
our sons to victory, but who, being
blinded by political considerations for
their personal advancement, led them
onlp to profitless death.
And you have not displayed more
talent or energy abroad. Napoleon
has tramplod upon the rights of a
republic he has insolently
us of the blockadeof tho Mex
lean coast, and hrOwn the WoHroe doc
trihe ~ oV face. We ask, then, who
is master now in America, he who
lays down the law, or he who submits
to the same +? Is it Napoleon III, or
the successor of Washington
God alone, by bestowing upon the
inexhaustible natural wealth
and the ardent patriotism which makes
every soldier q hero, has saved the
from the ruin into which your
selfishness would plunge it. This is
the secret Of the differences between
your currency and that Of the South.
We have been imposed upon long
enough. The ruin which you have
been unable to accomplish in four
years, would certainly DO fully con-
summated were you to remain in pow
er four ysars longer. Your military
governors and their Provost Marshals
override tho laws, and the echo Of the
armed heels rings forth as cloarly now
in America ~ in France or Austria.
You have encroached upon our liber-
tyswithout securing victory and we
must have both.
You have dishonored us abroad by
shameless misrepresentationsas to our
true condition. Places that We occu-
pied in 1862 are now again in the
hands of rebels, and God only knows
whether your preparations for the ap-
preaching campaign are adequate
Corruption has entered into every de-
partmont of your administration, ron
dering it a very Augeen stable, which
needs q Hercules as your successor.
1t is time for the light to shine forth,
and for the truth to shine forth and
oil sincere patriots, all men who look
for nothing further than the advance
ment Of their country and of liberty,
may rally in one compact body around
the great principle of liberalism, and
form q party really worthy Of the
name. Such a one only can save the
country.
Away with all the imposters who
have invaded tho temple Of liberty,
and turned it into vote market. Let
there be an end to this ridiculous farce
of unconditional loyalty, which is only
fit to secure the votes Of those fools
who, instead of delving to the root OF
the matter, blindly believe all the in
taroefod falaehoods nublished by iour.
