NEW YORK HERALD THURSDAY, JANUARY r. 1861

Lee across the Upper Potomac; then the ap-
pointment Of General Meade in the place Of
General Hooker; then the magnificent Union
victory Of Gettysburg, aud then tho escape Of
the crippled and nearly exhausted rebel army
across the Potomac. while General Meade was
awaiting instructions from Washington.
What budget Of blunders is here OF over
wheiming armieS wasted in the foolish system
of small detachments here and there, each under
en- Independent commander, operating around
great circle against the combined forces of
the enemy in the centre. What deplorable
want Of military capacity at Washington is
here exhibited in golden opportunities disre-
gardcd, in battles lost by laundering strategy,
in great victories thrown away by hap hazard
changes OF military plans and army leaders.
The responsibility lies with President Lincoln
for all these misfortunes aud failures, from the
first Bull run down to the escape of the rebel
army across the Potomac. Without educa-
tioa or practical service as O soldier, his
experience with the Army Of the Potomac
has proved that he is equally deficient in the
natural qualities Of mind essential to the sue
cesstul military leader.
No Drawer army ever took the field than our
heroic and selfsacriicing Army Of the Pote
mac; yet how different the net results OF its
ardaoas and bloody campaigns, under the
management of President Lincoln. compared
with the results Of Grants campaigns in the
West. The Army Of the Potomac stands to-day
only some forty miles beyond Bull run, while
General Grant has overrun and reconquered
an empire. We contend that the man who has
subjugated the rebellion in the West ia the
man to finish it In the East that General Grant
in word, is the man to take the place OF Presi
dent Lincoln in view of the speedy and COM
plete extinguishment of the rebellion, and in
view of the foreign complications whichsmay
follow. calling for capable military leader at
the head of the government when the rebellious
States shall have been reduced to submission
aud peace. General Grant is the man to re-
establish the Union in its territorial integrity
and the man to settle our outstanding balances
against the Western Powers Of Europe Presi-
dent Lincoln has failed "a military leader
aud General Grant ia the man to take his
place.

THE CONriscATIoS Acr-The discussions in
Congress on the proposed amendments to the
Conliscaton act are so much time thrown away.
There can be no doubt as to the unconsttu-
tionality OF any enactment which assumes that
treason runs in the blood. II matters but little,
however, how Congress may legislate on this or
any other constitutional question. The war
policy Of the present administration has en-
tirely superseded the constitution, aud we now
live under regime as purely military as that Of
Rome under the Caesars.
