To whom ~ may concern.


We do not suppose there is village 10 The
whole country, but that has some uneasy souls
who have peculiar faculty Of meddliug with
the affairs Of others. Neither do we believe
there is an editor in the land, who is not oc-
casionay hauled over the Goals, by the ver'
REST irnoramuses whom he may have the hon
or to call his patrons. And the editor, poor,
easy SOUL must never object to any thing they
may do. for say they, with the lordy pomPos-
ity Of the driver, you are mine, may
not do as | please with you;-if you do or
say what don't like I'll stop my paper, and
then guess you'll "go to the dogs" Now oil
this class Of people, Fremont has few, who
think to take the Journal under their watch
and care. Now we are always ready TO re-
ceve eight or advice from any one, but when
man will knowingly and wilfully falsify our
statements, for the purpose Of selfish aims,
we feel like pointing him out that the commu-
nifty may know him. II such persons wish
to withdraw their patronage, We cannot help
it; and the Journal might possibly still sur
vive, though they vote it "dead dog"
Some of our good friends will no doubt be
a little surprised at this talk, but we feel in
dignant, towards any one who will so far de-
mean himself in the eyes of his neighbors as
to wilfulIy misrcpresent and malign his fellow
citizen. On the 9th Of March last an editorial
article appeared in the Journal, showing that
the GOOD democratic U. S. Senate considered
'there was some difference between foreigners
and negroes after ALL" which we then con-
demned, because every foreigner whetherGer-
man or whatever nation, would be forever
, de5drred from vottng, though he might pos
sess the mind Of Clay or a Calhoun. While
on the other hand his nearest neighbor, zone
of The veritable FIRST families Of Virginia" as
ignorant as the 500 "chattels" he owns, goes
; to .he polls and for those 500 slaves, casts
vote that counts equally Nth three hundred
i freemen! Nth his ONE vote, he counterset'
brakes down and oUerpowers TWO HUN
DRED AND NINETY NINE worthy, anc

s. tertion of the foreigners to; and the sentimen
l. put forth by the U. s. Senate has arraye'

p and never, with all their bosted love for for

"Some difference between Foreigners al
Negroes after all.
Before the Nebraska bill passed the Sena
it was amended so as to exclude Germa
and Irish and all other Foreigners, thoul

citizens, from voting for or against any mea

ey ment to Foreigners has alarmed the Dem
