NEW YORK, Jan. S.--The UcrGid
has Il doubie-ieaded editorial, calling
attention to the call for "A meeting here
Monday evening and to the influential
names attached thereto. 1t says the
President can not affect To ignore or
undervalue such demonstration, sup
ported by such eminent names. The
President il bound to pay some regard
to the public opinion of the country.
He ought not 10 toe confident that he
Is right, when the best sentiment of the
best CLASSES condemns him. II is at
least his duty to pause aud reflect, and
TO examine the grounds of his unprece-
dented action. The President will
soon see that he il not supported by the
sentiment of the country, and that his
UNPARALLELED course aTOuses the appTp-
tensions of the people ns no other
public event has done since ~" iiring
on Fort Sumter This respectable and
influential call ought to convince the
President that there is limit beyond
which no public officer i'm lhi- republi-
can Government can go VIII impunity.
The Times says we ] zoe from our
correspondents at Washit 3 .n, that the
President will send In message to
Congress to-day or tomorrow on the
Louisiana difficulty and that il will be
unusually pointed. We hope that IT
will not toe pointed with hayOnets like
General Sheridan's dispatch, which
seems To have produced an Outburst
of indignation rom one end Of the
country to the other. Some Of the
people in Washington must be cur
| iously incompetent to gauge the pubs
| lie feeling or they would never have
allowed that dispatch to have seen
/ light. Ii is much To he desired that
some members of the Government
would take rains to acquRint them
selves with the tone and temper
| of the country. If the Cabinet had
/ been prudent it would have put Gen
| eral Sheridan's feTOciOus message on
or under the table or into the fire, and
said nothing about il, instead of that
/ General Belknap telegraphed back
| to General Sheridan and said that the
/ President and all Of Us thoroughly app
prove your course, which was one o
! the most unnecessary and foolish blum,
ders ever committed by the present
/ Government. We hope that the Pres
idents forthcoming message will be 1
little more creditable to himself, hi,
Cabinet, his party and To the people
of the United States, who II they ais,
thoroughly approved Of General Sher
idan's course would stand disgraceC
before the civilized world.
