administration, AID which the writers prob
ably knew never would occur. As thus: If
a portion Of the people were disiranehi,ed,
denied Ito privilege of a free election &c,
then a revolution might occur which would
rid this country Of the dcStroycys OF its lib-
cries, aud oil that We believe no jour
nais in the country more sincerely lament
tue mtisiaely death Of the President than
those ct Democratiepolities, and that they
would have rceoiled with horror from any
proposition, plainly pnt to them, for the
assassination Of the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation. The language used by thCm was
ihtemperatc, and evil in its influence, but
We are convinced ii was born of political
passion, not pertoual hatred, and that no
idea OF killing the President ever entered
the heads of the heated and thoushtleSs
writers. We say this, not for any political
liking for these Journalists, but because we

This fine officer has come out all right
The New York Evening Post high toned
Republican journal alludes to those who
were So quick to assail him as follows:
Those Journalists who were frightened
out Of their wits by this mistake, aud who
dll not hesitate to denounce Sherman as
aiming ut 81 dictatorship, and to insinuate
4pcaehers, knew as little of him as they did
of the Aeerican people. The precipitate
action of the government in publishing its
reasons for declining the proposals Of u
subordinate may have excited these fears to
some extent; but anything more foolish and
puerile;it is impossible to conceive. Shcr-
Iuan from the beginning of the war, has been
the most strenuous of patriots; his military
services to the loyal cause have been more
more brilliant than those OF any other man
excepting Gen. Grants, and the very fame
he had won was a guarantee that he would
not peril it in a less glorious career. He
knew moreover, the temper Of the Anreri-
eG4 people aud Of his soldiers, and that a
,sthisper of treachery would bring upon any
'aticer an instant and universal ignomy."
