Gen. John A. McClernand addresses the
people of France in the fellowship of repub-
Iicanism,n and rhetorically vindicates to them
their own Emperor with whose qualities they
have probably by this time become as well
acquainted as any citizen of Springfield, Illinois.
The poor Frenchmen, whose territories are
ravaged and whose armies are almost daily
driven, of course need to be urged by this
distinguished legislator, soldier, and jurist OF
Springfield, Illinois, "tO rush to the front and
"hurl the naughty invader from their violated
"soin He calls upon them to emulate the
deeds of their fOrefathers, and, through two
mortal columns of The Herald, "appeals," and
recites scraps of French history, showing
remarkable familiarity with and interest in
the subject for citizen of Springfield, Illi' ois.
France being assumed to be pretty tired of
taking her military governors from the island
of Corsica, does our own McClernand dream
that she may look for one in Springfield,
Illinois Seriously, we had almost forgotten
McClenand. What genius some men have
for Obtruding themselves upon public attention
in periods of general excitement, and how they
do amuse gods and men! Gen. McClernand
plumes himself in this "appeal," upon his
military service of his beloved country" His
one great strategic movement, which did his
country more good than any other, was that
by which, at critical period in the war, he
moved successfully from the field on Spring

THE DESPERATE SITUATION OF THE
FRENCH

Il was natural to expect that when Paris
VIVA cut off from all knowledge of Bazaine
eyery manner of strange theories of his fate
would be invented. II was reported there Oh
Monday, and repeated here by Gable, that he
had escaped with his army from Metz and had
a safe line of retreat open by way of Thion-
vile, Montmedy, Mezieres, and Reims
TO ChalOns or Paris. An examina-
ton of the map was all that was
necessary to reveal the absurdity of this story,
nevertheless it was extensively published here
and commented on by editors whose sympa-
thies for Napoleon get the better of their
Judgment. 1t is enough to know that the line
of retreat said to be opened to Bazaine runs
north through Gen. Won Steinmetz's lines to
the Belgian frontier, thence nOrth-westwardly
along it for fifty miles or more, and then
south again. If Bazaine were unOppOsed he
could not march the distance in less
than a week. With the Prussians in his
front. there is clearly no escape for
him except by the interposition of another
army such as France cannot raise and cannot
arm. He will doubtless stand a siege, and he
NAV repeat the sortie which failed on Satur-
day. But the struggle will be in vain. Ba-
zaine's army and the garrisons of Metz, Bitche,
and Strasbourg, may be considered virtually
no longer parts of the French defense.
We have no present trustworthy advices OF
MacMahon's movements He must of necessity
content himself with observing and perhaps
retarding any advance which the Crown
Prince may make. He cannot hope to
relieve or reinforce Bazaine, or to pro-
vision Metz, or any of the other for
tresses He has, doubtless already begun
the inevitable retreat upon Paris, where peo-
pie are not yet fully aware of their danger or
awake to the simple duty which devolves on
them of making peace at the sacrifice of that
Empire which they detest not less heartily
than the Prussians who have OverthrOwn it.

TO POLITICAL GRUMBLERS.

The practice of many gentlemen who would
resent, as an insult, an intimatiOn that they
were not good citizens, is singular. Knowing
that the Government must be just what the
people make it, they refrain from any partici-
patton in politics, and then complain that the
Government is ill-cOnducted. They declare
that the party which they regard the best is
corrupt, and make no effort to purify it. They
refuse to attend caucuses and conventions, and
then complain of the nominations They neg
lect voting, and then declare that the result of
the elections is enough to make one despair
of republican institutions.
We seek rather than hope to have less of
this in the approaching campaign. We insist
that Republicans shall not stay away from
primary meetings and conventions, only to find
fault with the results Take hold, gentlemen (!
and help make matters right. If you are not
willing to do this, the least you can do, il you
value your principles, is to support the candi-
date whom you neglected to select, and whose
selection others had, therefore, to make for
you. The man who will not help in the pre-
liminary work of his party has no right to
find fault with its results.
The time has come for the abandonment of
feuds in the Republican ranks. We shah have
enough to do to conquer the common enemy,
without first essaying to conquer one another.
We want now general determination,
throughout the State, to secure the best nomi :
nations possible for all the Offices local
and State, to take part in che choice and abide
loyaaly by the result, to sink al petty quar-
rels about individuals or local daims 10 frown
