Of a treasury generously replenished by a
confding people, would excite only our pity
or mirth that man "dressed in little brief
authority should act so fantastically, were it
not that the life of mighty nation is at
stake In all history we find similar exam
pies. The French Revolution may be par
tcularized, where the Jacobinic dispensers
Of wealth and honors, of life and death,
were found in after years employed in pur-
suits more adapted to their abilities, such as
street-cleaning and the like avocatons. No
doubt there are now in our own country fan

men as seavengers and street cleaners or tip

which brings such scum to the surface, is,
next to the salvation Of the Union, the mis-
sion of purified Democracy.

The MEXICAN GENERAL CoRTNA.-When 1t
was known here on Monday that the Mexican
General Cortina had attacked q body of rebel
troops and driven them and their general from
the town they occupied, because these rebels
had been furnishing the French with munitions,
United States stocks declined somewhat, owing,
no doubt, to the fact that fears Of some compli-
cations to arise between this government and
France therefrom were entertained. We be-
lieve that such are quite unfounded. The
French government will see nothing in this
affair to complain Of. 1t is this administration
which has cause for offence. The French were
being assisted by our rebel countrymen. and no
wonder need be felt that, when the Mexicans
found the rebels on the side Of the French, they
naturally sought alliance with us. Here the
matter rested at last accounts. We awaG with
interest further details of this affair.

preparing for the race-providod Fernando can

time past considered himself the sole owner OF
the lower districts Of this city, and looks upon
the voters as his property. He runs on his
peacs-at-as -price and anti Mcclellan platform
Here, then, is the opportunity to make square
issue. Let the friends Of the Union, without
regard to party--the opponents Of the rebellion
and the supporters Of the constitution unite TO-

whose record is plain and clear. Tho issue

The RADICAL GEESE RETURNING TO LINCOLN

THE RADICAL GEESE RETURNING TO LINCOLN
The radical republicans spent most Of the sum-
mer attacking Mr.. Lincoln and in showing up
bis treachery, weakness, faults and failures
They exhibited unusual virulence in their
accusations. It looked very much, even up to
the assembling Of the Chicago Convention, AZ If
the republicans would force Old Abe to de-
cline. Senator Pomeroy did say that Lincoln
had agreed to resign, and convention, to be
held ct Cincinnati, was talked about We
stated at the time that all Of these soreheads
would fall into the ranks, swallow all that they
had said, and support Lincoln. Our prediction
Is fast proving true. Already we see Ben
Wade, Pomeroy, Chase, Winter Davis, Greeley,
George opdykc, Dudley Field, ard the balance
Of the radical crew who have made such a
noise, all waddling back " Lincoln like a flock
Of geese through mud puddle.

McCLELIAN's MILITARY CAREER.-The Tribune
and Times, true to their party instincts, gave
considerable space yesterday to an ill-tempered
and partisan criticism of McClellan's Chicka-
hominy campaign. These critics might take up
incidents in the campaigns OF Napoleon, Caesar
and oil the other great generals Of the past,
and they would be found poor affairs. The
Chickabominy was McClellan's first campaign
on large scale. 1t was the great practical
school that was educating our officers for the
gallant deeds which they have since achieved.
Mcclellan is not perfect; but, even in this
Cbickshominy campaign, the only place where
bis enemies claim that he failed be showed
himself far superior in bis skill and manage
mcnt 10 that of the Commander-in- Chief, Old
Abe, who has tried to manage military cam
paigns himself, and could not make even de-
cent show.

made him swallow all that he said about
Mr.. Lincoln, and how easily hs eats his
