Good. We like that. 1t confirms every
assertion that we have made relative to the
Republican proclivitics of the Brodcrickitcs
They cxultcd over the election of a Black
Repub,ican-were rjoiccd at the defeat Of
the Democratic party. Is not this the strong
est proof that they are Republicans at heart !:
that they are dishonest in their professions:
This same Logan, "thc Black Republican,
Seward candidate for Congress in Oregon"
the announcement of whose election was re-
ceivcd with such hearty cheers" by the
Frederick convention, is a son Of Judge Lo-
gan Of Illinois, q lifelong enemy Of Judge
Douglas. Less than one year ago tho father

meetings in Illinois, his venom against Judge

ing with their antecedcnts and proclvties
that they should rejoice at the triumph Of
the foes Of Douglas. They hate him, but have
too much policy to avow their hatred. En-
thusiasm sometimes gets the better of their
Judgment and then, as in this instance, they
give expression to their real sentiments. Will
the Douglas Democrats longer nj low these
masked Republicans to deceive them Have
they SO little respect for Douglas, SO weak an
attachment to their principles, as to consent
to be transferred to the Black Republicans
without a protest? We think not, hope not.

well known and indisputable fact that he

This is the voluntary testimony Of gen.

who worked with and for him and who stuck
to him with the utmost fidelity until he dis
covered the selfshncse Of his nature, the
worthlcssness Of his promises.
