The principal annoyance which the He
assumes to feel, and by which it has wor
itself up to fever heat, seems to come fr
the doings of Gov. Andrew in his army
pointments, which, it says, are made with
eye to the advancement of party alon
nothing else, judging from that paper, inf
encing the Governor in this department
his work. Now the facts, let them be tur
and twisted in any conceivable shape possib
will refuse to substantiate this statement.
the Herald has a particular person whom
wishes to see succeed Gov. Andrew, w
does it not come out boldly and name hi
instead of attacking the Governor on
sides, with masked batteries? If the pers
thought of by this paper, is a better a
more competent man than the present incu
bent of the Gubernatorial chair, one that
whole people can rally around and suppo
and have perfect confidence in, we have
doubt but that he would receive good suppo
As soon as the proper time comes, the peo
would honestly weigh his qualities, and if
thing be found wanting, would place him
the head of the Executive ; for once, we v
ture to say, not stopping to inquire the sou
whence his name originated. Come,
Herald, name your "coming man ;" del
are dangerous, and there is nothing to
gained by keeping longer quiet, as
people have already begun to understand
motives which impel you to your pres
course.

We look upon the endeavors of any
who attempts to harrow up political ranc
in this our country's emergency, with min
ed sorrow and contempt, and as one with
a spark of true patriotism. If men beco
opposed to each other on comparatively tr
ing matters of State policy, how can th
with a full degree of unanimity, work toge
er on National matters? At a time like th
every man should give himself up to the go
of his country, never for a moment turn
to the right or the left to observe any meas
or personal matter that the politicians,
their tools, may put forth for the purpose
diverting his attention and add to their o
aggrandizement. When the time comes
the election of State officers, let each vo
examine minutely the character and stan
ing of the men who seek his suffrage, a
vote according to the honest dictates of
judgment, keeping ever in view the advan
ment of his country's good. It is not ju
because a man in his official capacity happ
to displease a certain few by not granting
their requests, to condemn him in every
tion, but on the other hand we should
member that "to err is human, to forgive
vine." It is useless for those in power
attempt to please everybody, so all th
should be required of them is a conscientio
discharge of their multifarious duties.

Before concluding we would advise
Herald to remember the fate of the Tribun
"On to Richmond," and take warning the
by, because small people are as liable to
as big.

To our Readers.-Next week we will
duce the size of the Journal. The chan
however, will not make the quantity of
matter which our readers have heretofore
ceived, much less, if any ; as our advertis
patronage, like that of our brethren all o
the country, has, sine the commencemen
our national troubles, become "fine by
grees, and beautifully less." We presu
to say that there are not a dozen papers
the country, at this moment, which are pa
ing their running expenses. The mortal
in newspaperdom during the past four mon
has been awful to contemplate ; and wh
many papers around us are foundering, o
by one, all we propose to do is to take in s
keep a good look-out ahead and go on in
even tenor of our course, with the full ass
ance that we shall weather the storm a
come out with flying colors. We will end
vor, as we have always done, to make
paper acceptable to our readers, and tr
that it will prove worthy of their contin
support.
