That Puff-The Journals Honesty
proved beyond Dispute.


proved beyond Dispute.
The Monroe Journal Of the 4th Of July,
contained puff of the editor of that
paper, taken from the Philadelphia Daily
Neaos. Wesuspected the puff very strong
ly when it made its appearanee-the Neaos
being Fillmore paper, and the journal
Fremont paper. A few days since we
received several copies of "The Boy of
no." the Know Nothing paper which the
Journal editor published in Pennsylvania.
This paper was engaged in trying to bring
about fusion between the Wings and
Know Nothings, and the Philadelphia
Ne,os noticed it as follows:
The True American Spirit.
awe admire much the spirit which seems
to animate our American contemporary of the
Lebanon Boy of '76, and the sound and pa
triotic advice to his American friends in that
county, we find in the columns of his paper.
We know well "the stuff he is made Of" and
are glad to find that he is a fair specimen of
ga chip of the old block"
aOur Lebanon cotemporary cordially con-
ours with US in the propriety of making the
American Party an open movement, which will
enable all who sympathize with it, but are op-
posed to its secret organization, to participate
in its proceedings and rally under its proud
banner; and we are glad to add, he is for pur-
suing course that will build up and make the
organization in trath as well as name, great
American Party. In referring to the efforts
made in that county by the Locofocos to effect
a fusion with the Wings, he evinces dispo-
sition that is as laudable as it is liberal and
praise-worthy, and which, if carried into prac-
tice by the American Party in the county, we
have no doubt would be met in similar spirit
by the Wings, and lead to their united triumph
next fall.n
The above we find in q copy of "The
Boy of '76," dated June IL, 1855.
The editor comes out here into Ohio,
and, after being here few weeks, feeling
that he needed little bolstering up, re-
models the above notice to suit the occa-
sion, ana publishes it as puff of the
Journal In order to see what change he
thought it necessary to make, the above
extract may be compared with the follow
ing from the journal of July 4, 1856:
aTHE TRUE ANrI-SLAvERY SpIRrr.n-Under
this head, the Philadelphia Daily Ne,os, edited
by our particular friend J. P. Sanderson, ESQ.,,
makes the following remarks relative to our
course, which we publish for the qualification
of the friends of the Journal, and to show that
our opposition to the so-called democratic par
ty by general union, is approved and enders-
ed by some of the most prominent journals in
the country -
aWe admire much the spirit which seems
to animate our cotemporary of the Monroe
Journal, published at Woodsfeld, Ohio, under
| the editorial management Of our young friend
and acquaintance p. H. Reinhard, formerly of
Lebanon, in this State, and the sound and pa
triotic advice to his readers we find in the COL
umns of his paper in opposing the Slave Oil
garchy of the South, and his sound stand in
favor of general union of the opposition.
We know we'll athe stuff he is made sf.n and
are glad to find that he is {. fair specimen of
"a chip of the ole. ipiook.n''
Now, will anybody have the hardihood
to say the editor is not what he boasts of
being strictly honest and fearless :"
His fearlessness is certainly put beyond
allquestion. Willanybody hereafter have
the impudence to assert that the Journal
is not a perfectly reliable paper, worthy of
all confidence !? Will anybody have the
effrontery to claim that the editor is hard
up for puffs simply because he has to forge
them? We trust no one will draw an infer
ence from the above derogatory to the
editors "strict honesty and integrity.
Isn't he beauty, anyhow?
