The New York Tribune OF February 3d. III
an article on the next Presidency comes out flat
footed against the reorganization of President
Lincoln. Greeley says the people have lost all
confidence in Lincoln's ability to suppress the
rebellion and restore the Union. Greedy fur
ther says Mr.. Lincoln viii be defeated if NOM
mated, for the people will not give the man a
second term who has proved unfit the first.
The above is taken from last weeks OttOwa
Democrat, and is only published TO show how
low man becomes by publishing Copper
head paper. Greeley never said anything
of the kind that is here attributed to him, ex-
cept that he has expressed himself in favor O
new candidate. In speaking of Mr.. Lincoln,
Mr.. Greeley said: eve are satisfied with the
manner in which his public duties have beer
discharged. He has been patriotic, honest anc
faithful. He has done his utmost to serve anC
save the country, and eve are sure the YER
diet of history in his case will be, well done
good and faithful servant F." Now, Mr. Dem.
ocrat, don't you feel ashamed of yourself? l
you don't you ought to.

Lieut.. General Grant is not idle He
returned from the Potomac Army to
Washington on the I1th, and departed al
most Immediately for Nashville, with pie
nary powers to organize the armies Of the
West and South for a vigorous campaign.
The Tri5W,e'S special from Washington
says this work he will do upon the basis
of the truly military idea of concentration
of forces, and adds:
Politicians have dispersed our armies
hitherto Grant and Grants policy will
gather them up from the Western bound
airy of Texas up to the Minnesota camps,
and make them available for smashing
blows this spring.
The Government is fully apprised of
the great efforts made by the Rebels to re-
enforce their armies in the South West
with view to gigantic endeavor to
drive us back to West Tennessee and Ken
lucky, and to recover their connection
with Louisiana and Texas. These will be
fully met.

On the principle underlying the coming Pres
idential campaign, the New York Times says:
We are trying to preserve the Union by
crushing the rebellion The united efforts ofthe
loyal people have made splendid progress to-
wards the accomplishment of this result. They
are driving the rebels steadily and rapidly to
the wall. A year more of vigorous, united and
determined warfare, according to present apear-
auces. will complete it. We are about to make
a solemn appeal to the people, under the form of
a Presidential election, on this very question:
The great issue TO be decided is the preservation
of the Union by crushing the rebellion. 1t tseems
TO us in the highest degree desirable that we
should press this issue, in its clearest and sim
rlesf form, upon the people for their decision
tits large enough broad enough, grand enough
certainly to be worthy of such a contest. Nor
can we have the slightest doubt as to the verdict
the people will render. Their purposeis already
unmistakable. If they can meet this issue fair
iy, they win settle it forever. We do not be-
lieve in the wisdom or necessity of changing
that issue for any other. 1t is never wise to
change front on the eve of battle"

Ano,ler Rebel Pio1 in Canada.

The Detroit Advertiser states that scheme
has been set on foot by the rebel emmissaries in
Canada to induce men, white as well as black,
to hire out for the alleged purpose of eDgag-
ing in fishing off the New Foundland Banks,
and also to go in the oyster trade, and several
squads of three or four colored men had been
engaged at Amherstburg, Buxton, Dawn Mills,
Windsor, and Port Sarnia, when it was discov-
cred that the plot was to get men on board fish
ing smacks, and at the first favorable opportu-
nifty to run the blockade, sell the negroes, and
let the whites get along as best they could, al
though every inducement would be held out to
them TO enlist in the rebel army.
The night had been designated for the fisher
men to leave for Halifax, but ere the hour arriv-
ed the plot was frustrated. It's discovery crea-
ted great excitement among the colored people
at the different towns in Canada, and the man
having charge of the negroes at Amhersburg
was roughly handled, and had TO be assisted out
of town by his friends.
The AdrertiSer also states that Vallandigham
has left Windsor for the East, in company with
rebel refugees.

Generals McCook and Crittcndcn.
Washington dispatch of the I2tE

a Washington dispatch of the 18th
says:
The finding of the Court of Inquiry in
the case of Gen. McCook, is that he did
his whole duty in the battle of Chickamau-
ga proper, but committed a mistake, aris-
ing not from considerations of personal
safety, but from an error of judgement, by
going into Chattanooga. The finding in
cludes reason of Gen. Rosecrans for pre-
ceding Gen. McCook in the same direction.
The Court finds Gen. Crittenden free from
all blame as TO his conduct in the battle,
and justilies his going to Chattanooga on
the grounds that all his command had been
transferred to other Generals in the course
of the action, and that consequently he did
nothing but his duty in reporting to Gen,
Rosecrans in person,
Both Generals McCook and Crittenden
have been ordered to report for duty to
the Adjutant General, and expect to have
assigned command Immediately.

Ny Dcdr Sir:-Y our kind note is Just receiv-
ed. As it has been so long on the way L have
telegraphed you that will reply by mail. At
the instance of many who think that the public
interests would be promoted by my election to
the Chief Magstracy, Il committee composed of
Senators, Representatives and citizens has been
organized here TO adopt measures 10 promote
that object. This committee through a sub
committee has conferred with me, and | have
| explained to them the objections which seem TO
me to exist against any use of my name in that
connection They have taken these objections
into consideration and assure me that they think
| ought not to refuse its use. have consented
to their wishes; assuring them, however, that
whenever any consideration, by them or by the
friends of our cause, thought entitled to weight,
should indicate the eXpediency of any other
course no consideration of personal delicacy to-
wards me should be allowed to prevent its being
taken.
If / know my own heart desire nothing SO
much as the suppression of the rebellion, and
the re- establishment of union, order and pros
perity, on sure and safe foundations, and
should despise myself if felt capable of allow
ing any personal object to influence me to any
action which would affect, by one jot or little,
inuriously, ,theaccomplishment of those objects;
and it is a source of real qualification to believe
that those who desire my nomination, desire it
| OH public grounds alone, and will not hesitate to
act in any matter which may concern me upon
such grounds,and such grounds only. Ofcourse
under these circumstances, desire the support
of Ohio. If, however it shall be the pleasure OF
a majority of our friends i'll Ohio TO indicate a
preference for another shall accept their action
with that cheerful acquescence which is due
from me to friends who have trusted and hon
ored me beyond any claim or merit of mine.
Very truly your friend,

WAsmNGroN, March ;, 1864
Ny Dear Sir:-In reply to friendly letter
from you, wrote you briefly not long ago about
the wishes expressed by many that my name
might be favorably regarded by the people in
their next choice of a President and closed by
saying that should our friends in Ohio manifest
a preference for another / should accept theil
decision with the ready acquiescence due from
one who has been already trusted and hOnored
by them beyond merit expectation.
The recent action of the Union members o
our Legislature indicates such preference. II
becomes my duty, therefore, and count it more
privilege than duty to ask that no further
consideration be given to my name. 1t was
never more important than now that all our ef
forts aud all our energies should be devoted tC
the suppression of the rebellion, and TO the res
toration of order and prosperity, ON solid an'
sure foundations of Union, freedom and impair

my counsels may have weight to allow nothing
