To turn this dawning spirit in the right direction, to so direct it that it may show us the way to victory, is what we should now give our attention to. That this desirable object may be attained we invite every one to express his view, and we promise to give all sides a fair hearing. Those who disagree with the conclusions or the processes of reasoning adopted by any of our correspondents this week cannot do better than to tell us all what they...
