Der Just received. The President informed

ruary and those other rebel Brigadiers
(dates of birth numberless, unknown
and mostly unknowable) there is not
only the very remarkable unlikeness that
he was victorious and that they were
defeated-a trifle in the eyes of phil
osophical and highly constitutional
Democrat, but somewhat in the
eyes of practical man-but
the are others which seem to
have a high moral and political
significance. He fought against the
rule of Government in which he and
his countrymen had no voice; they
fought against Government in which
they had more than their just proper
ton of representation, and which they
had controlled almost ever since it was
established. He fought for principles,
and upon policy which brought about
the Union of these States and the for
nation of the Great Republic which is
now one of the great powers of the
world, and one of the beneficent agen-
cies of civilization and human progress;
they fought to break up that Union, to
destroy that Republic, and to establish
a society and Government based upon
dh luSAllullOll dCtuIbCu VI NUOa anu mail
When his wars were over, he retired in
the flush of victory into private life,
and sought no public employment until
the voice of whole nation summoned
him to its head; they, defeated in the
field, began at the earliest day possible
to them to scramble back into public
life, and to strive to get, by hook or by
crook, control of the Government by
which they were defeated. He, for
his services in all the years during
which he served his country, ac-
cepted only his actual official expenses;
they soon began to plot the extortion
from that country of the expenses of
their rebellion. The likeness between
them is a verbal point, from which
diverge, at a wide angle that spans the
whole heaven of morals, the lines
which we are called upon to accept as
parallels. If there ever we're men who
were unlike in motive, in spirit, and in
all the springs and modes of their ac-
ton, those men are the venerated
patriot and almost spotless man whose
birthday was made the occasion Of this
comparison and the rebel Brigadiers
with whom he was compared. 1t may
suit the Democratic managers to at
tempt to impose them upon the world
as men of like character and purposes;
well-meanlng administration may
make the conformity of Jefferson Davis
and his military chiefs to George Wash
ington, the test of its sagacity and the
measure of its political skill; but to
convince the mass of the people that
they spent their blood and treasure to
defeat an army of men like him who
was first in peace, and first in war, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen, is
about the most hopeless task that was
ever undertaken by desperate political
! advocate. NJ Y. Times.

and throw hot shot into the camp Of
the Brigadiers as he did into the ranks
of the Rebel armies after these same
Brigadiers had reused his patriotic ire
by hauling down and trampling upon
the American flag. We believe that
General Bragg has the pluck and the
nerve to stand bravely for the right,
even if he stands alone; ard that he will
soon stand alone we have as little doubt.
If he elects to sustain policy in con-
nict with the views of the Southern wing
of the Democratic party, he will soon
find himself outside the Democratic
camp, and his proper place will be in
the Republican party with the senti-
ments of which he is evidently largely
in accord. Chicago Tribune.
