Abuse Of Gen. sherman.

Some Of the radical journals still contin-

the meanest attack we have recently OBJ
served is contained in the Chicago Tribune
of Saturday last Afterr Neutrality-suspicious.
explanations that have occurred to the
mind of the editor of the agreement with
JOHNSTON, not forgetting sHERMANs Gin
sanity" be says the true explanation has
not been given to the public, and proceeds
to give it, as follows: M a
1t is, in brief, that Gen. Sherman finding
himself the second man in the eyes of the ma
uon upon the dissolution of the rebellion, in
Stead o. the first, resolved to put himself at the
nead OF tne pro-slavery party Of the country
heads Of the North-by an extraordinary act
OF conciiiation, by sending the rebels home in

spectiVe States, and by leaving slavery under

If such was the real meaning of the Sherman
Johnston memorandum-if 1t was predicated.
as Is assumed by our informants. upon a ZEAL
ousy of the man who occupied the first posi-
ton before the country, Gen. Grant would nat.
urally have been restrained from doing anv
act which would imply that he was discern.

General Sherman from. the command of the
army at Raleigh.
Whatever else may be said of this explana.
ton 1t does certainly answer many of the re.
quirements of the problem which are not
otherwise answered If it be replied that
such theory involves doubt as to General
Shermans loyalty. what must be said of the
admitted facts of the case-the recognition of
the rebel State governments, for instance |?
Loyalty is word of obscure meaning to many
minds, Sc, &c. e4+t' :.
If the people of this country shall allow
their regard for Gen. SHERMAN to be i'm
paired in the least by such miserable slan-

The Democracy and the Government.
The Providence Post speaking of the
course and demeanor of the Democratic
party towards the Government during the
past four years of war, says truly: 81
Impartial history win decide that the OBJ
position party of 1860-'64 was loyal
party in the highest, truest and most de-
serving sense. 1t was for the sustenance
OF the Government. It was for the pre-
servation Of the integrity OF onr territory.
1t was tor the prosecution of the war upon
and by virtue Of constitutional principles.
The historian who records from q high
standpoint the progress Of the conflict,
will describe the free sacrifices made By
the people of all parties in aid of the au-
thority Of the Government, while he will
pay just tribute to that devotion to princi-
pie Of the Democratic party which kept it
ever, even under obloquy, misrepresenta-
ton and danger, true to the assertion and
maintenance of those fundamental princi-
pies which underlie and sustain all free
Governments It has been watchful, with
out being factious. It has been loyal to
the Government, without being treacher-
Gus to principle; and upon the recognition
of its doctrines depends the solution
speedily and favorably of the immensely
important questions which are Fastening

Responsibility for Indian Raids

IF there is one paper in the country uiat
has landed Gen. PoPE in more ext extra
cant terms than all others, it is theISt.
Paul Press. His Virginia campaign, aci
cording to the Press, was mastery con-
ception, and its comparative failure in exc
cution was due only to the treachery of
MCCLELLAN and FITz JOHN porter, From
the time when PoPE assumed command of
this Department, that journal has given
him nothing but sugared words. Judge,
then, of our establishment on reading the
following from yesterdays Press: 90
That hostile Indians are invading the frontier
of Minnesota to-day is directly due to the pur-
blind stupidity, the arrogance, Ignorance and
conceit which has governed the military adj
ministration of the Department Of the North
west, headquarters at Milwaukee and St Louis.
We have had occasion to criticise the
character of Gen. PORE in time past with
considerable severity, but we are not con-
scious of having used more derogatory
language than the above. The Press goes
on to say that Gen. PORE is alone respon-
sible for the continuance Of the Indian war,
and trusts ~ IA ..,. .,'' ns,.1i
p that Gen. Curtis, who recently visited the
State to ascertain the actual state OF affairs, will
take some way to let the truth be known at
Washington. r 1t can never reach the Govern
ment as longlas Gen. Pope is the sole official
medium of communication with the War De-
partment from this State. uyl .IE 20 ugi.
It is mistake to suppose that the &C
tual state of affairs cannot be made known
to the Washington authorities save through
Gen. PORE. Our Governor and our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress are
much better informed of the condition of
their constituents than Gen. PoPB, and it
is their duty to impart this information to
the Government, and to demand an eff.
Gent military force for the protection of
the frontier. 1t is not complimentary to
say that our Congressional delegation is
without influence at the War Department
or with the President of the United States,
What would be said if the authorities of
the State of Vermont, for instance, in con-
nection with its Congressman, were unable
to secure from the Government adequate
protection from Canadian raidsf
Our members of Congress never COM
plain of their lack of influence when they
ask the votes of the people, or when they
propose rewards for political friends, or
punishments for enemies. Now, when the
interests of the whole people are at stake,
it is hoped they will use their official and
personal power for the public good.
90 If this miserable war with the Sioux is
continued four years longer, by reason OF
military ineficiency, Governor MILLER and
Messrs. RAMSEY, NORTON, WMDoA and
DoNNsLLY will be held responsible, unless
it shall appear that they have endeavored
to change the programme now pursued BY
, the Government and Gen. POPE.

Brackets Battali0n...TwO Routes
to be Opened TO Montana and
Idaho. v-. I,E t6

A letter from correspondent states
that Brackets Battalion arrived at the
Missouri River, near the mouth of the Big
Sioux, on the 3Oth of April, fourteen days
from st. Peter. The command laid over
one day on account OF severe snow and
rain storm. The health of officers and
men was excellent, the reports of the SUR
geon being made in blank. Over thirteen
steamers had passed the mouth of the Big
Sioux, loaded with passengers and freight,
bound for idaho. The following is the
only incident of the march which our cor
respondent relates. Last year, while the
command was on the way west, one ofthe
men Of Capt. ERKLRYs company lost q
double cased silver watch, and after dill
gent search, failed TO find it. This spring
. BRAcKErT camped on the same ground, and
the man went where his tent stood, found
his watch, wound it up, and notwithstand-

graduates We find thus epitomized in the lau
datory report of the Daily Mems:
"Modern repubhcanism was the theme Of
the next speaker, VIM. j. Dainty, of Buffalo
N \. He contended that but few nations
were fit for republican forms of government
ours was eminently so; that France and South
America presented lamentable instances of
failure in the establishment Of such govern
ments; and that the soil wherein republican
seed was sown must first be prepared. as
America had been, before the product could
be made beneficial to people,
france and South America Mr.
Dainty, are Roman Catholic countries, and
have never, since Christianized, been other
than that. How happens it, then, think YOU ?
tnat these countries are not lit is you that saw
1T INT for republican forms OF government n
while countries preponderantly Protestant
undenlably are ftp And don't YOU think
that, If 1.-THE soil'' of the Spanish American
countries is to ''be prepared for the healthy
termination of republican seed the mower
