A Cipcinnnti sympaihelic JOurnal.

A Cincinnati Sympathetic journal
The Cincinnati Courier deyotes its .ener=
pies to this pnper in its Thanksgiving issue.
Is intentions are not of a nature well
adopted 10 thanksgiving, but like Baalim, it
went in for cursing to its utmost and in
ccntinently said some very good things of
MS It says: II
1.-THE Cincinnati Press is an apt illustra-
tion 6 aahewspaper of this sort. Claiming
to be independently its independence con
ssts not in Indicating the right, but in show
ing its readiness and celebrity in pointing out
the wrong "a
That we take it, is a pretty good sort"
Every body knows the right; but boldness in
exposing and denouncing the wrong is what
society needs, and just what journalism is
most afraid Of. As the Courier says, that is
what the PREss does.
But the PREss is ''like the Ishmaelite of
old-bis hand is against every onen This
is the stock phrase for this purpose. Every
body says that who wants to say any thing
against the PREss. But as the Courier makes
out that the hand of the Press is against
every thing wrong, the Ishmaelite part seems
to be worthy of all praise.
The specification to show the Ishmaelite
disposition, is that the Press has protested
against any former political troubles in
Kansas being visited on the inhabitants
now, in order to defeat the efforts for their
relief. This is the Ishmaelite part. And
the other, which the Courier acts, is to
excite partisan atrocity, in order to prevent
sympathy for thousands Of emigrants, who
are being driven from their claims in the
Territory by actual starvation. AS the
Courier casts the parts, we prefer that of the
Isbmaelite.
We do not expect to come up to the
Courier's standard of newspaper principle
We have not proclaimed to the South that a
majority of the people of the State in which
we live are determined to carry on a war oI
aggression on the domestic relations of the
slave States. We have not daily charged
our own people with reasonable and in,
cendiary designs, in order to excite fear and
animosity in the South, to bring disaster
upon our own citizens. We have not Sc
up newspaper in Cincinnati to bear falls
witness against her citizens, in order tt
destroy their business.
That is what the Courier calls principle,
and "some sympathy with the received
opinions of society,"" We want none of tina
sort, nor do the people of Cincinnati. Ev
cry symptom Of vitality that the Courier ha
exhibited has been spent in aggravating tn
panic by feeding the Southern excitemen
with charges against the people of Ohio ant
of Cincinnati, and of the whole North, o
hostile sentiments and designs against tn,
South, which every honest Northern maj
knows to be false and which it reiterate
with the deliberate purpose of bringing
alarm and distress upon the people, from
which some partisan advantage might be de
rived. We have no terms to characterize
paper which thus, to the extent of its ability
plays the part of an incendiary to the prop
erty and business of the people, to whom
Ostensibly looks for support. We want non
of this "sympathy with the received opin
ions of fsotiety." The Courier is welcome t
it all.
The Courier calls the PRESS Kansas
shrieker. With some newspapers an epithe
is the beginning and end of argument. W
do not admire the style, but as st. Paul sayI
"every one according to his ability" ]
happens now that the Federal officers are th
shriekers from Kansas. We have aimed t
controVert their criminal attempts to add t
the troubles of the country and to harass th
people whom they were sent to govern, bu
to whom they have always been the mos
bitter enemies. e-rt,--
