On one feature Of this noted question
the New York Times observes:


II the war is not brought To q substsn-
tial end this summer, it will net be the
fault Of the President. he has remitted
the entire conduct Of the war to the mill
tary skill Of Lieutenant General Grant,
and that, too, with the almost unanimous
approval OF the people. General Grant
may fail, though we trust not; but if he
does, it will be his failure, and not that Of
President Lincoln. It would be prePos-
ferrous to refuse to renominste President
Lincoln because OF General Grants fail
ure. The case might be different if Gen.
eral Grant had been put in command Of
the armies contrary TO the Judgment and
wishes Of the people. But as it is, the
people will no more think Of turning
against the President If disappointed in
General Grant, than Of stultifying them
selves. They know that the President has
acted for the best, and in accordance, too
with their own judgment. Thus assured
they will sustain him in September 81
stsunchly as they now do, even though
General Grant may not accomplish whst
