A correspondent of the 'obisago Republican,
: ' deriving hie information front _“a gentleman of

- reasons that induced Mr. Cameron to leave the

have been given by Mr. Cameron himself ,to
the informant of the Writer in the Republican.
We give them as follows; - y When Qen. Mc-
Clellan was called to the eo’rojnand of the army,
‘'military affairs were in,a deplorable condition.
We'were compelled to callfnim to the bead of
- the army at a time when .hti coaid dictate bis
own terms, and he did so. -He stipulated that
he should naee upon all appointments and pro
motions, and the President and myself felt
.compelled for the sake of -hecountry to accede
to them. - Under hie tol', things .went from
bad to worse, and having ,nC hope in the fu
ture, I saw the only way'.*» Xt ve the .country
, was to break the agreetnet Vy;ith Gen. McClel
lan. I represented to his, that things could
not continue in this way, brt.Gen. McClellan
mnst.be removed from tht, supreme command
of the army lif he wanted Jo put down'the re
bellion. The President ajffted with me in this
view, of the ease, but bow can
- it be done f ‘We have palled our words to him
- to him that be shall havq control of the ap
pointments, and we cannotJbresk them/ I re
plied : ‘.Leave that Co me £-thrill cat the gordian
/knot if 1 can not' unravel ft. I will resign,
and yon can appoint ano'ndy to my position/
Mr. Lincoln came conclusion that 1
-• He said be would ttppwint roe to,the Rua
sian-Embassy,' from which Mr. Clay was about
! -to return. which would be a proof of his entire
confidence in me. I told' him that I did not
want to go to Russia, hat he said that I must
go in Justice to that I might regigo

O. F. TAT LOB, Chairman.
When Republican editors accused the semi
rebel press of sympathy with Assassination,
the semi-rebels complained most bitterly, de
nouncing "the charge as the offspring of parti
san malice. Wo,studiously refrained from do
ing more than arraying these unprincipled fel
lows face to face with their previous utteran
ces; thus showing their culpability for teach
ings which made the awful crime possible.
But the coarse of the entire Copperhead
press touching the h anging of Mrs. Suratt,
Payne, Harold, and A tzerodt, and the impris
onment for life of Dr. Mudd. Arnold, Spangler'
and O’Laughlin, pate .the question of Copper
head sympathy with Assassination and assass
ins oat of the province of debate into that of
clear, unquestioned fact. ' They denounce ; the
Court, the witnesses dor the ’prosecution, the
findings, sentence, and execution thereof, as
illegal, tyrannical, barbarous, and. murderous.
The guilt of the parties is not denied ; no—it
is nhdisguised sympathy with the crime itself
which moves them-to stigmatize-and denounce
the Government. ’ ' ' “
Occasionally one gets frantic over the stran
gulation of that mother of infamy, Mrs. Snratt;
We are not aware that Crime is either male,
or female. Murder is murder, arson is arson,
and theft is theft; and it is the crime, not the
sex, color, or condition in life of the criminal,
of which the law takes cognisance. These tin
washed Chevaliers fall into a mistake quite
common with that ilk—the mistake of suppos-.
ing it ro be a mark of chivalrous veneration of
Woman to champion the sex under all circum
stances. The jfact is, however, that all this
hullabaloo about banging Mrs. Shratt comes
from a class of men who have more inclination
for female depravity, than reverence for female
virtue.
We see it stated that the Catholics of .Wash
ington threaten to hold a great Sanhedrim and
denounce the President and the Military Com-
mission
If they do, so much the wpfae' for them ns a
religious denomination.' The Catholics are not
strong enough to risk so much in that. way.
The fact that John H..Suratt, one of the chief
assassins, is. hiding from justice within the
walls of ' a monastery. Is not intended to help
that Church to extra popular favor. 1
As Payne was a Baptist, we are waiting for
a Bkptist manifesto in bis behalf. Or baa the
Baptist Cfboroh too much common .sense to.
threaten Church action against the 'President
of the United States ?
It is’ a notable fact that nearly every one of
these-editors was but the other day landing the
President. Since he signed the death-warrants
of the assassins, all that is changed.'
Shall we explain the “ why” of tills sudden
change of base ?
It is this:
The rope that strangled the aeeateint choked
these sympathisers with treason and assassina
tion. -
“ No rogue e’er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.".
UNroaicNAli, and. greatly to be pitied, is
that man who, having been a spectator bf the
great contest whose smoke has not' yet cleared
away, still regards it as a partisan struggle-*-'
baying nq I higher object than the damage' or
profit of, a particular’ class of men ; who mis
takes popular indignation at the bad faitb.of
Yallandigbam, Seymour, and Woodward, and
their deluded, or vicious followers, aa a tran
sient ebullition of partisan beat; for that man
fails to measure the depth of hia crime against
the human race, and belittles the strife for na
tional existence by mistaking it for a strife for
party aggrandizement.
The old parties lost their distinctive organ!-

zations when.the war broke out. Men no lon
ger, as a rule, thought of party, but hoped,
and feared, and labored for, country. Those
who did not so rise above mere party pride,
■gravitated' into various secret organizations
with objects at war with the integrity: oLthe
nation. These men have' never been able to
distinguish politics from 'patriotism; They
have devoted their time to singing psalms in
braise of -Democracy, their knowledge of which
never extended beyond the name. The nation
was sick, and they prescribed—“ Demooracy.f’
A great war was waged'against the Govern
ment, and they folded their arms and shut their
eyes, and cried—“ Democracy They looked
over the field, and seeing their old leaders in
the van of Rebellion, naturally enough conclu
ded that the Rebellion was but a new form of
Democracy, and gave it their sy apathies.
Now these mistaken men dep reoate the in
dignation of the people, which m akes against
them. They did not bargain for defeat. They
believed, as they noisily declared, that the re
bellion could not be suppressed;, and the piti
less ruling of Destiny baa stranded them on
the coists of Despair, among false prophets
mod
kick at fate, and denounce the operation of the
righteous law of Compensation.
Mas? Barkis, who shot A. J. Bd&boughs,
a Treasury clerk in Washington', last winter,
has been, tried on a charge of murder and ac
quitted., The allegation was that Burroughs
Courted,:promised to marry • her, and after con*
eluding not to marry hrr, endeavored to trap.
Miss Harris into a boose of bad repute in Chi*
oago. She "followed him to Washington and
shot him down without warning.-
Probably nobody is surprised at the verdict.
It makes little difference whether the defence
sustained its theory of insanity or not. For
Woman's obiefest wrongs at the hands of innn
the law affords no remedy. So, juries take the
matter into .their own bands, and makesnch
atonement for the shortcomings of law-makers
as they may, by permitting her to avenge her
wrongs, real and fancied, with impunity.
We shall not complain of the acquittal of
Mary Harris—though, the defence seems to us
to have been quite lame, impotent, and incon
clusive—because there is a good reason for the
action of the jury, as stated. When the law
recognizes libertinism as something more than
a venial crime, and regulates the penalty in
the ligbt.of such recognition, it will not be so
safe for a jilted woman to shop! her jilter as
the acquittal of Mary Harris proves it to
be. Lawmakers, in refusing to make felopy of
libertinism, prejudge every, case where it wo
man is the defendant to such ’ an extent that it
is impossible to convict her, however gnilty.
Whatever may be said of HCraob Qrsilet,
all candid men agree that he is always fair to
ward an adversary,. As a case in. point may
be mentioned the acridity of faieidislike for
’Secretary Stanton. Lees than a week ago the
Tribune published a statement of some priest,
to the effect that the Secretary of War rtfdsed
to pass Mrs. Suratt’s confessor into the prison
after the sentence of that person. Mr. Greeley
rounded np some bitter comments with—" We
dare Mr. Stanton to deny that be refused a
pass for Father Walters to visit Mrs. Suratt”
--substantially. In his last Friday's paper
Mr. Greeley publishes a letter from Gen. Bar
die, through whom all the communications
between the War Office and the assassins were
made, stating in explicit terms that Secretary
Stanton issued the pass without objeotien or
condition attached. Gen. Hardie is himself a
Catholic, and has as good a reputation for ve
racity as Father Walters. So Mr. Greeley is
satisfactorily answered, and the charge against
Secretary Stanton, like most charges against
him, comes to grief. '
But tbe Copperhead papers, swift to copy
Greeley’s caustic criticism, do not copy bis ha
bitual magnanimity to his fdes. None of tbe
foul brood publish Gen. Bardie’s disclaimer.'
Traitors oannot play fair. ,
Since President Johnson refused to reprieve
Mrs. Suratt on tbe unsupported statement of
one Brophy, an alien, by the way, and the
ready apologist for traitors and assassins, tbs
whilom adulators of the President,’semi-rebel
editors, have resumed their vulgar, allusions to
his falsely alleged habits of exoeaaZ Do they
not see that snob depravity as they Charge dp
pon him would bring him into sympathy, not
only with their party, but with the entire brood
of Monsters ? ... •

Great Britain is in no hurry to declare war

The execution of Mrs. Surratt caused
excitement among the rebel conspirators in
in Canada. They manifested tbeir feelings by
wearing crape on tbeir arms, singing secession
songs and threatening the President of the
United States with terrible retribution. The
rebel ,sympathisers here in the North were
scarcely less indignant. Id a neighboring
