Too BAD.-The editors of the Times are
daily denouncing many Of our most respocta
bic citizens and business men as Black Re
publicans, Aboitionsts, Niger Worshipers,
Dlsunionists, and Traitors. Our business
men generally bear this hackguardism and
hbqllous abuse with exemplary patience and
meekness, and still continue to patronize the
Times aud supply the material aid which
sustains the organ and enables il TO grind out
It's scandaious and foul ISLANDERS upon the Re-
publcans of our city and county. In conse-
quence of this encouragement, the Times
now goes step further and claims that the
liberal patronage extended by the business
men Of keokuk proves that they endorse it's
principles and policy, ''uncontaminated bv
the isms and perncous dogmas of the dav."
Our citizens and business men might afford to
stand the abuse of the Times. but we think
il is too bad for that paper to claim that they
approve its principles and policy simply be-
cause they advertise in It's columns And
indeed we think many Of the Republicans
would forego the pleasure of aiding the
Times, by their patronage, rather than have
II understood that they thereby approved and
endorsed its position.
CO The Loeofoeos rejoice with boundless
exultation over the result of the city election
in Chicago. If SO much importance attaches
TO victory in city election, how much
more significant Il defeat in a State cleo
ton, especially when that State is the native
State Of President Pierce himself, and the
only Northern State Of which the Admins
tration could reasonably have had any hope.

60 The Locofoeo members Of the New
Jersey Legislature have declared in favor Of
Buchanan for President. The prospect is
quite aattering ia favor Of the nomination
Of Buchanan in the Democratic National
Convention,-on the first ballot, by two
thirds vote over all competitors.
- The telegraphic reports Of Congress
slonsl proceedings seem to be blunder from
beginning to end, hut nevertheless, furnish
an inkling Of what is going on, and we have
to take them just rs we find them, with all
their imperfcctions.
