Editors press AID Tribune:
Tho thanks Of the Republicans oftlle 4th Con-
yrcssional District, are due to you for the
prompt and able defence you SO nobly made for
Judge Kellogg, Of cur County, when so unjust.
y aisailcd by paper withso large cizculA-
ton as that Of the New York Tribune. It MAS
to be SURE, nothing more than Jour duty, Is tie
leading journal Of Illinois; but the fact that all
The other papers Of the party in this District

base and unprincipled than the lenders Of the
Black Democracy in Fulton County; and while
know that Horace Greeley; ]. Il. Giddipgs,
and others have been by these leaders most out
rageous'y ylliifed, not one Of them has ever
been so yilely slaudercd as has been William
Kellogg, since be has proved himself the master
spirit Of this District And just now I think Of
one other reason: The Trio, rs used by the
dirty menials Of the Press Of this County, was.
