"The taxing power, in wise and firm hands,
is capable Of most heneiiieent tad sslutary

General Sherman.

The Albany (New York; Evening journal,
Republican print, is greatly concerned
about General Sherman. 1t ssys:
General Sherman is Democrat He is
an opponent OF the Administration He has
announced himself against those measures
OF policy which are sure TO become cardinal
tenets of the Union party He has secured
the unqualified commendation Of Democrat
ic' organs, including the New York News and
World, the Syracuse Courier, the Chicago
Times, and other papers of that ilk. Such
being the case we see no good reason why
il he is ambitious of civil distnction--he
should not run for Governor Of Ohio He
would be beaten. of course but the fact Of a
candidecy would put him well forward for the
Presidential heat OF 1868, in which it is eyi
dent the Democratic mans gers intend to
give him MeCellan's place. The country
has reason to regret that General Sherman
has pursued a course which makes possible
such speculation respecting him, but this,
unfortunately, is the case 'fl
