The Pensacola Express makes the fol
lowing political observation: McLin, while
an officer in the Confederate army, deserte,
a cause he took an oath TO support, and !
can't be expected that he would tell th,
truth now. 1t is more than any REASONABLE
man could expect @. such a specimen 0
humanity, and it surprises us how Gov
Stearns, brave and honorable man in TIN
Federal army, tolerates man in his cabi
net, who has vainly deserted a cause i
which he had accepted a trust. Once
traitor, a traitor always. McLin knows tn
decent men in the Republican party despis
him for his treachery, and as editor Of til
Sentinel he splits o4l bis venom again.
