The journal OF yesterday contains malig-
nant article under the above caption IL bot

and sHKrxAS. the success or defeat Of which ev-
ery sensible man regards a. the turning point Of
the rebellion. 70 the question Of the next Pres-
dency. That Il pronounces most emPhaiealiy to |

IL says il Of far more Importance than the defeat
and overthrow OF the rebel armies under Las and
JsnxsroS. The Republican organ declares that
both GRAx1 and SHKnxAS may be unsuccessful,
and yet the election of Mr.. LlScoLS next fall
would retrieve both of those disasters. In
word. the sacrifice Of blood aud treasure during
the past three years. and the thousands OF lives
and millions Of dollars which viii be sacrificed
In the campaigns Of this year, are Of but little
consideration in comparison with the re election
of ABRAHAM LIScoLS, aud the continuance of
shoddyism in power. That. says the Journal. Is
the overshadowiug issue-the great question nos

81 The Journal says;
mot single traitor 10 all Dixie has ever been
insane enough TO predicate their success against
united North.
Practically. the North Is united so far as the
prosecution OF the war is concerned. Every de-
mand OF the Administration for men and money
has been promptly complied with. There IS not
man In the North but is supporting the var by
furnishing the means for il prosecution. With
cut money and credit the war would end-they
are its slnews. The rebels well understand that
they are fghting"a united North

fact, and il Is so evident that it needs no demon.
stration. II the rebels succeed, their success
will be against united North IL they pre,licat
ell their success in the beginning upon Northern
divisions, that hope was soon disspated By the
the stern logic OF events. LEE. when he invaded
Pennsylvania. and MoRoAS. in his raids through
Ohio and Indiana. met "a united North"
This view Of che question cannot be gainsiyed.
And what have the people been promised by the
Administration from the beginning of this war;
Did not Mr.. LINCOLN say that it would not last
sixty daysl Has not the country been assured
from time to time that each succeeding ninety
days would see its end? And did not Secreta-
~ STANTON. but a few weeks ago. telegraph OF
fcialy and exultingly to Dix that the rebels had
found their Last dltchy Yet since that assurance
the rebels have found least dozen bitches.
Take up the history Of the war, as presented by
the Administration, aud judge it from that stand

the Democratic party. The Administration
and the party in power have had it ali

have unlimited power The entire resources
Of the nation have been placed at their disposal
They have had the free and full use of the sword
and the purse Never has an administration had
such confidence reposed in IL. And what the re-
suit? Not one promise il has made to the people

tory of the war has il assumed the gigantic pro-
portions that it presents TO day. and yet the
country is told with mpudence unparalleled
that the continuance of such a party in power

more Importance than the success OF the cam
paigns of GRANT and SHERMAN
And who are the men who are asking this re-
newal of public confidence? a correspondent
writes iruthfully Of one, as follows:
THE "sNurry JOKER" 'HIMsKLF AGAIN"

Baltimore has returned TO his "smutty Jokes
