And he shall not with my consent
be continued TO command. There is
nothing in his antecedents to Justify
further trial OF his military skill.
At Belmont he committed an egreg-
ious and objectionable military blum
der, which resulted in almost annihi-
lating an Iowa regiment,
At Fort Donaldson, the right wing
of our army, which was under his i'm
mediate command, was defeated and
enemy's works. The battle was res
tored by General Smith, the enemys
works were stormed, and thus a vic
tory was finally won. And SO on the
battle field OF Shiloh, his army was
completely surprised, as / believe,
from all the facts | can procure, on
Sunday, and nothing but the bravery
OF men fighting by regiments and
brigades saved the army from utter
destruction. The battle was after
ward restored by General Buell. and
other Generals, who came on the field
during the evening and night, and
our forces ultimately succeeded in
routing the enemy. Now, sir, with
such record, those who continue
General Grant in an active command,
will, in my opinion, carry on their
skirts the blood Of thousands of their
slaughtered countrymen. With my
convictions, | can neither do it my
self, nor silently permit others to do
it. (See Congressional Globe I'd Ses-

the Wilderness. So great was the
slaughter of Northern soldiers that

In the United States Senate, MAY
9th, 1862, in reply to Mr.. Sherman, Of
Ohio. speaking Of the battle of Pitts.
burg landing, Rev. James Harlan
Senator from Iowa, said:
"From all that | can learn on the
subject, | do not think that General
Grant is fit to command a great army
in the field.
The Iowa troops have been in bat
tie repeatedly under the command OF
General Grant. They have no conf
dence in his capacity and fitness for
the high position he now holds. They
regard him as the author of the use

their brave comrades in arms. 1t is

them to serve under him. The speech
OF the Senator from Ohio, might, il
unnoticed, induce those in authority
to continue him in the field.
understand he has been virtually
suspended, that he now really has no
command, that each division and ar
my corps of the Western Department
is under command of another Gener-
al, and the whole under the command
of General Halleck. that General
Grant is second in command of the
whole, which is, Of course, merely
nominal. In my opinion, he ought
not 10 have multiplied thousands of
men placed in his hands after the re-
cord which he mas made. And the
only practical tendency on that part
of the speech of the Senator from Ohio,
would be TO induce the President
to assign him an active command
This | cannot consent TO have done in
the presence of my countrymen,
manned and slaughtered, as l believe,
through his carelessness or imcompe-
tency. say this not on account of
any public or private grievance Of a
personal nature. If nv
convictions are correct, it would be
crime for me to remain silent, and
suffer influences to originate in the
Senate chamber which may result in
restoring a General to an active com
mand whom |, ard the people | in
part represent, deem unworthy of
such q trust.

Democratic Inconst.tency,

The inconsistency of the rebel-Democ-
racy of the North in clamoring for John
sons policy of reconstruction is forcibly
illustrated ir the following article copied
from the Chicago Tribune:
The Democratic party during the war by
every conceivable means repudiated the
legality and existence of the temporary
governments erected under military auspi-
ces in Tennessee and Louisiana. AS late
as March, 1866, the Democratic members
of both Houses Of Congress, voted against.
and defeated, the admission of Senators
and Representatives from the State of
Louisiana They now think that the gov
srnment that they then repudiaied is the
only lawful government that can exist in
Louisiana, and have urged the rebels to
take up arms in their defence.
These JohnsOnian rebel governments
have few facts concerning them which
should not be forgotten:
l. They, with the exception OF Tennes-
see, have not framed new constitutions, but
have continued. affirmed and adopted the
constitutions existing in these States during
the rebellion, with such amendments as
the President told them he required should
be made.
2. The question whether there should be
convention TO re-enact their old consti-
tutions, or 10 amend the same, was never
submitted to the people 10 be voted upon.
3. The re enacted constitutions and the
amendments thereto were never submitted
TO the people for approval, for the reason
that il was understood and known that the
people would reject them because they
abolished slavery and repudiated the rebel
debt
4. No portion of the people, white or
black, loyal or rebel, has ever, in any form
known 10 law or custom, or known to the
under which these govern
ments prefer to exist. had an opportunity
of expressing consent TO be governed in
that way.
8. These constitutions all distinctly pro-
vide way for their own amendment utter
ly inconsistent with the mode adopted by
the johnson proclamation, and hence all
Tue amendments thereto, abolishing slavery
and repudiating the rebel debt, are void
and of no effect.
These are the governments which the
Democracy insist shall be upheld in oppo-
sition TO those formed 10y order of the peo-
pie, and ratified by them at the polls--by
votes numerically greater than were ever
known at any election in any of said States.
