OF Yesterdays Journal in 'orms the peo.
pie of something OF which they knew no.
thing whatever before-tast Sir. Robinson
was used up by Mr. Baker, in the discussion
on last Saturday. Eng.
Now the only remark we made about Mr..
Baker in connection with this discussion, in
the article alluded to, was simply this-"THis
time he (Robinson) fell into the hands of
Conrad Baker. Esq, who gave him good
start TO the next place of speaking" We
said nothing about DIR. Robinson being
"used up" in the discussion, whatever we
might have thought. We only expressed
our surprise that man Of Mr.. RS ability,
and with every argument at his tongues end
which can be advanced for the Nebraska
law, and who has prepared himself to travel
over the State to discuss this question.
should under the circumstances have made
so commonplace a speech. So far as real
argument on the Legitimate subject Of the
bill was concerned, from what we have
heard and from the best authority. Mr.. Baker
did knock the feet from under Robinson
We were present only long enough 10 hear
a half hour speech from Mr.. Robinson, and
we conceived it as small an effort from mod
eraiely great source, as we ever heard. II
the friends of Mr.. Robinson are satisfied
with his success in the "Pocket" of Indiana,
we are sure the Wings will not grumble.--
If Re will only travel over the whole State,
we have no fears of the success Of anti-Ne-
braskaism.

Our friend of the Enquirer, has made
another marvellous discovery in the Journal
He says:
One of the marveIs of the day is that the
Evansville Journal refuses to support Major
Robinson for Congress.
The Enqui-er's proneness to misrepresent
the we'll known attitude of the Journal to-
ward all A bolitionists, enables it to discover
marvellous things with a remarkable degree
of facility. The Journal frankly gave Its
objections to both Miller and Robinson, on
the ground of fitness for the position to which
they aspire. The idea of supporting either
a fourth.rate doughface or an Abolitionist'
never entered our head. The Journal has
always been consistent in the nationality OF
OF its political sentiments, and it. well may
excite the marvelousness Of our neighbor
10 see it remain so, while he and his paper
have been trucking to and supporting IN abo'
lition administ ration. II would not be any
marvel to see the Enquirer support even an
ultra Abolitionist, after supporting and en-
dorsing the appointments to Office by the ad-
ministration, and defending the President IN
removing National Democrats from office to
make r ,om for Abolitionists. The Enquirer
quotes the following paragraph from our ar.
ticle on Robinson and Miller:
The ultra abolition principles which Maj
Robinson holds, would neutralize all nfu'
ence in Congress which his industry and com
, manding talents might otherwise confer.
And adds:
"Here you perceive is a distinction between
Abolitionism and ultra-A bolitonism."
We make no distinctions in supporting
candidates for Office. The Enquirer quote
from our article and makes his own distinc
: tions, and one for US.
This charge Of aboltionism comes wit
; an i'll grace from that paper, as we hav
shown above. 1t has about as much sem
blance of truth upon its face as the charg
that "the Journal prefers the resolutions {
I the Mongrel Convention to those passed Q
$ the Democratic Convention" The Journ'
- had, never expressed preference for AN
u resolutions passed at Indianapolis, nor doe
- it applaud any nominations made there
> The Journal will maintaiL its consisten nc,
l. despite the attacks and misrepresentation
of administration organs.

The Enquirer has come to the conclusion
Il wants no more agitation! Yes-its parry
has deceived the people repeatedly with the
same cry on the slavery question-thst they
wanted no more agitation. They passed
such a resolution in their platform, IN THIS
State. They adopted it in the Baltimore
platform, as the voice OF the great national
marty. President Pierce introduced it into
his inaugural, and declared he would oppose
all such agitation. Yet with all these Pied
ges, this party has got up probably the
greatest slavery agitation that ever shook
the country. The administration itself did
everything in its power to keep this agita-
ton in lively fermentation, by endorsing the
bill which was producing all the agitation,
when with almost word it might have chok-
ed the bill to death. The life Ct the Demo-
cratic party depends upon agitation. twill
never permit the people to sit down to calm
reflection upon their acts II never was hurl-
ed from its power. but it rode IN again on the
whirlwind of some agitation OF its own cre'
alton. And nop, after in the face OF its
pledges against agitation and especially or
the most fearful Of all questions, having ori
ginated most tremendous agitation, the re
mark comes with beautiful grace from one
Of this party's organs, that it wants no more
agitation!
The whole country was in the enjoymen
of delightful peace, made doubly Preciou
and satisfactory because Of the fearful agl
tation from which it had just emerged, whe'
tbs Nebraska brand was thrown among IN
people by the Democratic party. 1t has pro
duced general confagration. The publ
mind is excited over the whole country
