We think the attention Of Major General
HOWARD should be directed to the publca.
tion called " The Right Way" at the head
Of whose columns we find the circular of tho
Publisher, which concludes With the follow.
ing paragraph:
Third. If you feel disposed to aid the
work by q contribution from tho club to
send me such money as you can spare for this
purpose, not in payment for what you re-
ceive, but to enable me to extend its useful
ness in other directions, especially at the
South, Irhere Maj. Gen. HoIpard has kindly
volunteered TO distribute d, through Mc

tend the circulation Of that paper through
'the agency Of the Freedmen's Bureau" In
an article In recent issue, headed 1.-THE
Nations disappointment" we find the fol-
lowing passage:
"And il seems to US that we do not 20 a
step beyond tie line Of scr1tyulons accuracy,
when we say that, with one exception, no
disappointment Of the American people In a
man whom they had trusted has ever CON-

and safety of the nation.r
In another article in the same sheet we
find tho following:
To sum up, what are the dangers that con-
front the nation?
A President doggedly perverse, boldly de-
fant, ambition-inspired, deliberately, obsti-
nately determined to execute his individual
will.
A Congress divided within itself and de-
batting what to do, while tho President and
his Southern satellites are doing and haze
done.
A Cabinet strongly spell-bound under tho
power Of the evil genius of the Lincoln Ad.

can plunge the country into foreign war IL

controlled by an officer in full political fell
lowship with the President. The Secretary
of the Navy gone over" The Secretary
Of War where he cannot be identified. The
Secretary Of the Interior and the Attorney
General outyoted."
And from another ''discontented paper, " in
the same number Of "The Right Way" we
clip this:
"Another danger threatens. How easy II
is for Mr.. johnson, through his willy Secre.
tary Of State, to give secret aid and comfort
to the Fenians, exaoting from their leaders
pledge that they will help him in his efforts
to restore the Union. What more would the
Fenians desire than to have Mr.. Seward so
disregard neutrality obligations, that Eng
land, in honor bound, would feel obliged to
declare war against the United States? And
Mr.. Seward more than any other official
knows that foreign war would place the
North at the mercy Of the South. Has Mr..
Seward the will to do this? He will need

Is that kind Of luuacy calculated to ire
construct" the South, and will Gen. How
ARD continue to distribute such diatribes
against not only the President, but tho Cab.
