the command OF the Fifth Military District.
There is reason in this hue and cry.
General HANCOCK has refused TO make poll
tics paramount to principle; he has been
guided by law and not by fanaticism; he
has declared civil law supreme, and has SO
carried on the affairs of his department that
perfect neace, order, contentmcnt and loyalty
have prevailed among the people. This
conduct has gained for him the respect OF
every man in the South whose good opinion
is worth having, but it has lost for him The
favor and affection Ct a place-loving, virtue
fearing Congress.
No man can serve two masters. General
UA>cocK cannot be honest and retain the
r rotential affection of the Arch-Ral!cals ::
but by persevering in his present course he
will secure lasting honor for his name.
