The Men we Need.

The Men we Need.
The Presidents removal of Secre-
tary STANTON and General SHERIDAN,
are additional proofs Of the necessi-
ty of trusting politicaEpower to none
but the most loyal and trust worthy
men. STANTON and SHERIDAN had
but one fault, they dealt with rebels
as rebels and regarded treason as
the law regards it, a crime. For this,
Southern "chivalry'' demanded their
removal, and Mr.. JOHNSON submit
ted to his masters. IL Mr.. JOHNSON,
who, even up to 1865, was loud in
his devotion to the Union, can re-
move from Office the men who have
done most for the cause of the
Union, what may we not expect from
the Copperheads of 1868 and 1864,
if they succeed in obtaining control
of the Government? If JOHNSON,
an original war man, can not be
trusted, what faith can loyal men
have in THuRMAN, YALLANDIGHAM
and that class of politicians, who,
from the outset were friends of Sc
session? The moral is simply this
H We would secure the fruits of our
viefories and establish the Union
up56 = firm and enduring basis, we
must see TO it that the administra-
ton OF the Government is entrusted
to none but loyal and trusty men,
men whose prInciples can be shaken
neither by fear nor favor. Having
conquered the rebellion at vast ex-
penditure of life and treasure, are
we now willing to abandon the Gov
ernment and turn over this important
work - reconstruction to men who
were against us during the war, and
have now no sympathy with our
g views? Shall the men who fought to
Sustain the Government, be trusted
with its administration, or they who
fought to destroy it? For ourselves,
we shall vote for no man for any Of
fee, whether high or low, who can
not show clean Uar record. We
hold it unwise and unsafe to intrust
political power to any man who sym
pathized with the cause of secession.
Nor can we believe that the intelli
gent, loyal citizens of Ohio will ever
elevate such men to Office. They
may cry "negro equality" and cine
quality of taxation" but the people
are not to be deceived. They made
record during the war that they
cannot "whitewash' now, do what
they may. The people know them,
: and next October will ''spot" them
! as heretofore. So, 80
