Si And Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts, Is One of Those Traitors.** These are the words of a very plain manethe present Cliief'Executive ot the’ - United States. Their somewhat emphatic personality is well adapted to attract attention, not only i to the speaker, bnt to the person spoken of. Charles Sumner is not $ very remarkable man, or a very extraordinary one, except in one particular; that is, his life long exclusive devotion to a single idea, certainly a thing not to be set down as either marvelous or supernatural, any more than the fact that certain beasts of prey are addicted to flesh, certain vermin to tilth, and others to such choice pleasures as are afforded by the habits of concubinage and miscegenation. The cherished idea of Mr. Sumner is the absolute equality, before the law; as he chooses to term it of the black and white races in the United States. This principle, which he and his admirers have, with the grossest blasphemy, called divine, repeated in every possible form, and shaded in every possible color, is the text upon which his tongue has dwelt. Even this he has taken at second hand, never originating any thing. Mr. Lincoln’s homely but strong and incisive thrusts at slavery, Mr. Seward's mild and gonial philosophy of universal freedom havi been borrowed or stolen by this soi disant Athenian of the Senate, and after having been dressed up in a little tawdry tinsel of style and arrangement, (not always to his advantage,) have been paraded before the public ashis own. Yet these devices, however skillful; would have failed to have given him tlp> distinction he longed for among the crowd of fanatics as vain and furious as himself, bad it not been for the foolish error of a rash and thoughtless man. The unresisted attack of the South Carolinian gave to this Senator a ■[itfsliliiable notoriety. The attack was ait avoided, and we may well suppose, in the light of events which followed, was even coveted and courted, when it is considered that every blow of his assailant added years of life to the Senator's political existence. Surely there never was a martyr pained less or paid more for his well simulated groans and suffer-
ings.,' ‘ /t / ; i >
Although Mr. Sumner was nottuc first inventor of his “ principle,” he still persists in Us advocacy long after those who started in the way with him have abandoned not only the roail but the direction they once traveled together. Mr. Seward stops^at Emancipation. Mr. D(>QI4TTLE at Restoration, Mr. 6uMnr.B presses on, reviling his former associates, in quest of what he nicknames impartial sufirage, more truthfully called negro equality, breathing out threatenings and slaughter against all who oppose the views of common sense or common justice to his wide reaching projects of ruin and dishoner. It ouhgt not either to be forgotten when these purposes are accomplished, when Mr. Sumner has regenerated theUnion and remodeled the Constitution, we are to be handed over for further improvement and progress, to Mr. Garrison, then to Mr. PniLLtta.then to Mr. Theodore Tilton, with his admirable theory of the rules and reasons of nature for the intermarriage and more intimate connection of the two races, a doctrine now openly advocated by the more advanced disciples of the Massachusetts school, in all its loathsomeness and brutality. Heretofore the philanthropists of mankind Lave been unwilling Uxempky fyce in the propa^atumf f their ideas p they hai% ski if, standing atom fhfffl violence, right and truth require only time for .Jtet iMsis ■«» tks plan of Mr. Charles Sumner aad his qo-conspirators. They propose to continue to crush labor by Uxation, to destroy oompetltion by tnriffs* to prolbng the war indefinitely, to have no peac^ to make “disunion certain and inevitable,” and even to revolutionize the Government by force, rather than to abandon what seems to them the opportunity* «f realizing their wildest dreams, and of seeing their fondest fancies clothed in the forms of law. It is hard to think that out of the ashes of the rebel Confedsrscy .this phoenix of disastrous omens has already sprung; that upon theWryYhinf it the first, the second rebellion has grown with such strength, such vigor and such boundless crime. But so it is—we say it wit a sorrow. No one can doubt it who carefully considers the ultimate purpose embraced in the acts of that mob of Jacobins now infesting and controlling the legislative halls of Washington, stKi'vfUrccf try coUTWfj ** tne c-ongrcsB or tiro United States.” No true lover of his country can contemplate such a scene without concern, or can any one avoid seeing, with a sad heart, that the President was right when he said the leaders of these men are traitors, “ and one of those traitors is Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts. _ ji» jiurSkl of y2£Sajfayl fcit^at the suggestion of Mr. Stephens, the Legislature “enacted a Civil Rights bill for Georgia, which embraces precisely the principles of the act of that name recently passed by Congress.” This is a miserable attempt to mislead the public mind In regard to the character of the bill which has just been passed by Congress over the President’s veto. T4e State pfGMi;gla eohliiioi, neither could any otfleMAaleiii the Union, adopt a law having the odious features of this act of Congress. The latter seeks to abolish State laws and State judication, and if carried out to the letter, would soon convert this Government into a centralized despotism, forcing the States of the Union into We tame relation with ^oWri-
opposition to the charges of the Journal- It says the “terrible mistake^* |f th* War “ terrible mistake ” necessitated hurried recruiting and \ej&&QWt*iHhorribly toaateful of the resources of the country” And who was it that occasioned that horrible waste, and who are responsible “ fbr the protraction of the war and the increase of the national
debt**’ soy*
cally and truthfully, that “ the policy that Stopped recruiting and lulled the couutiy iito a false security in the moment of the greatest danger, is responsible for it.” And there the responsibility will rest. u We will add lathis <ynnection what is well known to every man, woman and H* country, that every man and every dollar that the War Department and the Republican Administration asked for Ihe prevention of the war, was promptly furnished: and this fact only increases the responsibility of the party in power for the heavy taxes and the immense burdens which have been fastened upon the country.! ., ’ ‘;«-

morn than
and would have obviated the heavy are paying this year for bounties and
port of soldiers’ families.”
It 1$ sonwflmea said that a p«* feomM* better than none, but evCh thra miserable Justification will not screen the party that has administered the Government for the past five years from the responsibility of the burdens, grievous to be borne, which bave,bp(jn unnecessarily imposed upon the country, ft Is upon the record that Mr. Buchanan, after the election of I860, consulted with some of the members of the incoming administration as to the condition of public affairs, and the policy that should be adopted. Mr. Sew ard has never denied that such was the case, and there is no doubt but Mr. Buchanan was influenced in a great measure, during the closing period of his administration, by the opinions and wishes of the premier of the one which was soon to be inaugurated. It Is also well known that the leaders of the Democratic party—In fact the Democratic members of Congress who cordially and fully responded to every request of President Lincoln for the necessary means to prosecute the war just as the Republican atlministration desired it should be—were never consulted by Mr. Lincoln, or by the representatives of the dominant party, in regard to the crisis in public affairs mid the policy which should be adopted. The party in power demanded of them that .they should surrender all part^ afliliations for the good of the country, as they termed it, but wo fall to remember, in a single instanee, the surrender of party principles or measures, on the part of the Lepublicans for the common welfare. In fact ihe leaders of the Republican party from the time they came into power, demanded of their political opponents what they were unwilling to concede themselves, and which they have not yet done. It is well known that only Ropublicans, or men who were willing to surrender their avowed principles for consideration, were appointed to any civil office, and no Democrat got an appointment in the army or navy, or preferment for meritorious services, except
as a necessity.
But we have only alluded to these facts in the history of the late civil war to make more clear the responsibility of the RepubUcaa party for the prolongation of the contest, and the heavy burdens which it has fastened upon the
country.
The Journal charges that bnt for the attitude of the Democratic party, “ l he war would, in all probability, have closed from one to two years sooner than it did;” and, in addition to this, “ would have saved the General Government more than one thousand millions of its present debt, and would have obviated the heavy tax we are paying this year for bounties and the support of soldiers’ families.” Mark well tliese words in connection with the
context.
From the outset of the rebellion the war was not prosecuted with the vigor it should have been, ou the part of the Administration, until after the presidential election of 1861. About that period the Admin iatratiou commeuced the prosecutiou of the war in earnest, and the result was continued successes until the rebel armies snrrendered and the rebellion destroyed. Is there stronger evidence needed than this to show that the war, up to that period, hail been conducted to subserve partisan
purposes?
As the Journal charges the responsibility of procrastinating the war upon the Democratic party, and as a consequence th« heavy tuxes which the people ttjffe forced lo pay, a few facts from Republican sources, controverting these accusations, may be opportune at the present
time.
A few weeks ago there was a controversy between the Cincinnati Gazette and the Cin cinnati Commercial, both intense Republican sheets, in regard to the responsibility of the dclhy in reinforcing Kobecrans after the fall of Vicksburg. The Gazette attempted “ to show that Sherman was slow, and wasted precious time in going to the rescue.” These are the words of the Commercial, and it adds that the “charge was never before made against Sherman, and it cun not be substantiated iu this cose.” It thon remarks, anil we destro to call the especial attention of the
reader to its revoluUons:
“But that is not material ns to the main point—the responoiWUty for pushing the army of the Cumberland, ‘witn less than forty thousand muskets, three hundred miles from its base of operations, across the Tennessee river and into Georgia, giving the enemy ample opportunity to do exactly what they did de, viz: concentrate from the cast and the west, withdrawing whole corps from in front of the armies otMaade, in Virginia, aad Grant, iu Mis-
sissippi, to pile upon Rosecrans!
“ On the 13th of September the authorities at Washington sent orders to llulburt, at Memphis, and Grant and Sherman, at Vicksburg, to reinforce Rosecrans. That was too late.. It was within one week of the boUic of Chicnmaaga, and there was no possibility, in that time, of placing a single regiment that was on the Mississippi in Rosecrans’ line of battle to meet the shock of the armies of the rebellion. The question, then, is, what was

No Policy and a Policy* Schuyler Colfax, in a serenade speech in Washington the other night, frankly admitted that Congress had no policy (or restoring the States lately IitrebfeUlon to their pldcds In -the Union, but that the President had. The reason he gave lor the President having, and Congress not having a policy was, that the former had eight months advantage in considering the subject, while the latter had been only/onr month* at work upon the same great question. Here is an admission that the President has been developing and carrying out a policy in which he has bad all the advantage that a thorough knowledge of the condition of affairs in the revolted States, and the temper aad purposes of the people of those States, eould give him. But the abolition leaders iu the Buatp Congress did not wait for any enlightenment in regard to his or any restoration policy before they commenced denouncing the acts of the PNaldeut In hia efforts to restore the Union not only m name, but in fact. Upon the very Irst day of the present session of Congress, Sumner, and others entertaining the same radical views in both branches of the
| irinlmfllianm
Lt*gTBlBllYv tl“JFclr w V* *■ meut, proposed mahadRienta to the Constitution to define the foture relations of the laic rebellious State*». and it was, also, early announced by the same faction that they >hoiilii not lie recognized as integral States of the Unkm until they had acoepted all the conditions, no matter how unjust, unreasonable and humiliating, that the radleid majority in that body should impose upon them. Notwithstanding their record, which is familiar to the whole country, Mr. Speaker Colfax now excuses the charge that the radical Congress has not presented a policy for restoring the Union, upon the ground that the? were not sufficiently enlightened upon the condition of affairs in the eleven States shut out from representation in Congress to present one to the country. He. says, however, that Congress now has the facts to go upon, and that very
shortly its policy will be announced.
Happily for the peace and w elfare of the country, the President has exercised all his constitutional prerogatives to restore fraternity between the sections, and the people of the country w ho were only a little more than a year ago in hostile array against each other. In the his* tory of civil war, never baa there been an example of mare rapid strides in the pacification of s» divlifod people entertaining upon one side, at leiist, the most intense antagonism and dislike of the other. Aud jrom the cessation of hostilities the Pronjeut has had,a poliyy to govern bis action, and the effect has been to bring back the discontent* to their allegiance to the old Government. Oh the other hand, the action of Congress, *o far m ft eonld, has bad the tendency to keefi alive the prejudices and passions of the Southern people, and continue that spirit of revolt which induced them toinak&AhfemUautpt to breakup the Union and establish an independent Government. Truly Congress lias no policy to restore the Union, Till it lias bean governed tram the opening of the present session by the single idea to legisMte for the benefit of the negro, no matt«r at what sacrifice to the interests of the whUe raecyand regardless of the welfare of the country;. The whole effort of this radical Congress fa to defeat the policy of the President iiLrestoring the concord, happiness, ami prosperity which existed In the nation before the tety spirit of secession seized upon a portion of the people, for the redress of either fancied or Ttetil wrongs, an da# tankas the present dominant faction has the power in the Government it9*111 have bp other sand.

The burnt bridge will promptly be replaced, and in three or four days trains will pass as usual. The trip was devoid of interest. Travel is not heavy, nor are the people excited. No politicstalked; no military aboard the cars, no shoddy, no speculator^ no gentlemen of leisure; how different js railroad traveling from what it has b#n during the past five years! The spring is very backward, all through Ohio. Scarcely a furrow has yet been plowed, though the farmers are about commencing. The wheat is admitted to promise badly; it is late in coming out; still, the impression is that it is less injurcil than is feared; It is believed the root* are olive,, will grow and may yield a
crop.
W heeling is a coal black city of the Pittsburg stamp. Its great miner at supplies naturally make it a manufacturing city, and it will, hence, be a steadily growing city. Its foundries of all descriptions, its machine shops, glass works, etc., arcYery extensive. It Is compactly built from necessity, like Madison, in Indiana. It is estimated to now contain twSnty-flVe thousand inhabitants. It is very dull now. BusinesOds much at a stood fltUL Almost nothing doing at Us wharf, though the'river is in good navigable condition. Every body is afraid to venture out upon the sea of trade. Prices of goods here are the same as at Indianapolis. A leading merctanut {ofiTme he had just returned from the East. He found good# there on the rise. The manufacturers, hj^'e mostly diminished business for n time, he says, from policy. They will thus produeoaocareity, then put up price*, and go to work again. He says they have accumulated suflicieut surplus wealth to enable them to play W$tk the country as they please, and will net gsork without big profits. Though busIUBWlfOaTT, there Is a good deal of bonding here. The. people have made money, and, in the uncertain state of trade, prefer to put it in real teifce. t The price of property I am not able, for want of time, to ascertain. The best corner store room in the city, including cellar and upper rofaie, bring* $8,800 rent. They go down from that. The highest rent I could hear of fbr the best dwelling was $000. They go down from that. Property, of course, must boa good deal lower than with us. The negroes are disliked here, and I notice leas of them than we see in the streets of Indianapolis. Wheeling is ot present the seat of government of West Virginia, but no State public buildings have been erected, and none will be, os the capital will be moved to a more central point. The penitentiary has been located at Moundville, some twenty miles from here, on the Baltimore and Ohio raflroad. Wheeling never suffered, but rather profited by the war. While military force controlled electioas. West Virginia wo* Republican, but a great change is taking place, and it is believed it will be Democratic. Wheeling is now a Democratic city.

were outnumbered at the vital point?” It must not be forgotten that these charges againtt the War Department of criminal delay and'neglect, comet from a Republican source, not only, but are accompanied by. incontrovertible facts. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, permitted the victorious army of tho Mlwisslppi to lay idle from the 4th of Jtflfr to the L3lh of September, instead of taking advantage of tho’ capturp of Vicksburg, and by reinforcing RoseCIuxs prevented the eoueentration of the rebel armies, and thm the continuance of tbe struggle, with the immense waste of blood and treasure wMeMt occasioned. Tha Commercial demonstrates mest conclusively that there were men enough in the field at that time to have crushed the rebellion, if they had been properly employed, but party and personal prejudices seemed to have governed, instead o. the public welfore. We quote again from the Commeroial upon thU point: ■ “For ten weeks after the fall of Ylcksburg and the'defeat of Lee at Gettysburg, our great armies east and west, were allowed to be idle. The line of the Mississippi might ! have been held by ten thousand ' soldiers and the fleet, and Quant and Banks had foore,than one hundred and twentythousand unemployed soldiers, all of whom might have been hurled upon the enemy’s center, and instead of being beaten back to Chattanooga and bombarded therefrom Lookout Mountain, with the battle above the clouds to fight and Mission Ridge to storm, Atlanta would have been ours, and our legions eould have marched right «a tothe sea. Our mighty war minister^** course, displayed a great disposition to be active after he got scared when this teischief Was done. He was Twelfth Corps, when there would Jtave been no occasion for aay hurry, or to disturb the organization of the army of Um Potomac at all, if h« had not been a consummate blunder.” •ill'll!MV.m /ij. .. ..-sriijp Lu.ir Again we call attention to the fact that these charges of criminal delay come from a Republican source, and they can be substantiated by the record.
