Las right to demand aid We believe does demand that
the fruit Of months Il labor purchased BY the lives OF
many brave men, By nconcevabe toll and expense should
not thus be lightly thrown away like empty husk; and
that at the moment when all seemed to prosper the nation
should not suddenly have to endure the shame aud the
danger, regards foreign relations, of pteous ap
peal to its capital The nation cannot afford to have
the war protracted by management which thus sacr
fees every success and lis the people OF tie Southern
States that victory does not make it certain that
Un on army will maintain its position. Let the country
have military administration as judicous and steady al
Mr. Lincon's civil policy, and all will be we'll, and sue
Cess will be not ouly sure but speedy But let the wa!
Department continue to be managed huPkazard Nth more
thought of making and unmaking Presidents than o. JIM
shng The ,oar without any steady plan. Judgment or

has no balance and seconfdonce that has no limit
and for our own part wa must thank Providence that the
future hidden from u.s. aud that we are left to the su
cient evil of the day"
To-day this paper would denounce as g factious"
Gf not disl yaD any member of the Opposition
which should hold such style of language to-
wards the Chief Magistrate and his Immediate
subordinates in executive command. And we are
free to say that such elimination and such dctation
are to be cited only for the purpose of showing
the lengths to which Republican partisans feel it
safe to go in pursuit of their own personal and po-
tical resentments, while carpng at the loyalty aud
patriotism of men who, with all the faults they may
have ascribed to the Administration, never pre-
umed to hold any such dictatorial and insulting
language towards the constituted authorities OF
the land.
We know there were those who publicly exulted
| in the defeat of our armies before Richmond
some because of their political hatred towards Gen.
| Mcclellan, and others because they saw in such
de eats the presage of an emancipation policy des-
tined to be the dernier resort Of the Administration
But we leave to the Boston Daily Advertiser the
odium of the grauitous imputations it has cast on
the integrity of Mr.. Stanton, when, in matter
which concerns the honor of his country and the
lives of his fellow men, it charges him with prosti
tuting his high office to schemes of Presdent-mak-
ing-merey remarking that, in justice to the Sec
rotary, we are wiling to believe, whatever may
have been his military ndscretions, that such re-
Elections on his integrity and patriotism are no
more just than those in which this journal now
habitually INDUCES with regard to better men who
happen for the time to be its political opponents
only because they do not vote for the retention in Of
fee of persons who if it is to be believed, IN
worthy to receive the support of honest and pa
triotic men in any party.

What wonder that the removal Of such com
mander in the full tide of his successful career was
received with equal astonishment by the army,
which, as Mr.. Everett says, "idolized him." and
by the loyal people Of the country, who, with the ex-
ception of "the radical contemners of experience
and science in military affairs" had come to repose
in him an abiding confidence? And hencc it was
that intelligent and patriotic supporters Of the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION, like Senator Harris, of New York,
condemned the ill-adviscd step incxplicable Two
days after Gen. MoClellan's removal, that Senator,
on entering his class room, and before proceeding
with his lecture on law, being asked what was bis

Dr.. Livingston on the Africans.

DR.. Livingston, at meeting recently held
at Nottingham, in connection with the Socie-
ty for the Propagation of the Gospel in For
eign parts, delivered speech on the subject
of Missions. He was received with great en-
thusiasm. When the applause had subsidized,
he said: "Before l second the resolution,
will try TO answer question very often put to
me, in the belief that some Of you may wish
to put it too. The question is,-"What sort Of
people are those that you wander amongst ?"
Now, think they are far from being savages.
Hear, hear.) On the coast we find them, l
believe, little blood-thirsty, especially those
who have been engaged In the slave trade;
but when we get inland, about 300 miles from
the coast, we meet with people who are quite
mild, and civil, and hospitable to all strangers.
There 1t is the duty OF the head man Of the
village to give every stranger supper, and
to show him as much friendship and hospital
ity as lies In his power. We find that these
people are not all engaged in hunting, as most
persons imagine them to be, but are engaged
in cultigating the soil-cultivatinQ it extern
tensively-having different kinds OF corn from
what we grow In this country. And we see
men, women, and children engaged In the cul-
ture of the soil. They also manufacture iron.
The native iron is of excellent quality I
brought some from there with me, and took
1t to Birmingham, where 1t was made into an
Enfield rife; and the, opinion of those who
saw 1t was, that it was equal to the best Swe-
dish iron. They have very much inferior
tools to work with, to what we have In this
country, and much more labor is required in
producing the iron. Then they manufacture
copper from Malaehite. They also make nets,
basket work, &c. When we get among them
we find them SO far from being savages, that
they rather think we are savages. They do
not understand where those poor black people
