653 - L. Sept. 15; ed: 2/1 - The American people have not forgotten the
career of McClellan. He began with a reputation of accomplishing a
great work, and ended with nothing accomplished as compared with the
means and time allotted to him.
"The whole North, with a desire to make him a hero, never thought that
when he was at the head of 500,000 men, in addition to the Navy, that
he would cower before a foe for so many long months. He is asking the
American people to reward him for his want of success which can never
be done. They want no more such vacillating weakness at the head of
our armies, more anxious for the preservation of negro slavery than the
restoration of the Union." (14)

934 - L. Jan. 27; ed:2/2 - The people will read with gratification
Seward's dispatches to Adams, our minister at London, touching our rela-
tions with England. Their calm, firm, and decided tone and the grave
warnings which they convey to the English government express the senti-
ments of the American people. Seward says that the United States shall
protect itself against armed cruisers from Great Britain, and insist
upon indemnities for injuries which expeditions have committed, and the
navy of the United States shall receive instructions to pursue enemies.
We feel that in these extracts there is a calm, earnest, dignified warm-
ing, which is more impressive than empty vaporings. (6)

naval department. "Commander Winslow deserves the promotion the govern-
ment plans to confer upon him." - - (8)

is the only port left for blockade runners, and through it the Rebel
credit and cotton loan is maintained in Europe.
"It is therefore the duty of the Government to turn the attention of
the Navy in that direction, and when it is taken, the Rebel credit will
be forever lost in Europe." (3)
