IORE ELEGANT EA TRACTS!

u
On the first page OF Fr. Jordan's Inquirer,
.r1ear a number OF extracts, or what purPort to
ztracrs, from former issues OF the Ga=rtte.-
some OF these are so mutiIated and gaTbed that
.lay are made to convey an entirely different
a..4ning from that which they were intended
10 -eprespnt, and are made to refer to other
persons than those adverted to in the originals.
7o. instance, in the last batch of these extracts,
4 article of ours is made TO refer to Ma. DoU-
slas, by the Interpolation, in brackets, OF the
Eods "Stephen A. Douglas s Co." This IS a
CELEBRATE FORGERY upon our arti-
G and shows the extremity to which those
rr7a-ing politicians are driven TO make capital
.g their party. As a set-of TO these extracts
re ylollsh below string ot pearls from Jordan's
-zaa, pure as they came from the she'll and
rlaout any alteration OF mutlaion to suit
-o, purposes. They will serve to show The es-
.aen in which Mr.. Jordan held Mr.. Douglas
q .358, and how excellent Democrat, he was
.a-a considered by the Opposition.

So delighted was Mr.. Jordan with the states
-aa-5aip and great Abilities OF Mr.. Douglas, thai
IN the same number Of his paper from which
Tie a51ve IS taken, he published the following
Glowing description of the ''LiltIe Giant -
Douglas on The Senate Floor.
The Washington correspondent of the Inde.

fssIn, IN the course Of an editorial on a
lesaoeFatic meeting held in The Court House
Il ts5nary, 1858, Mr.. Jordan says:
The meeting was sad blunder from the be-
gihn'ag- No one will presume to deny that up
70 The night Of this meeting there were not 90
DluzIls men in the county, AND NOW
THEY IRE LF-THE MAJORITY. YOU

And again in a selected article, Mr.. Jordan
aolas io-Ih as follows
Douglas sustains Walker in his desire to give
'"sl- ly," and he has lost his position in the
huclaaan party for, to be in good standing
there .-'.s necessary to approve fraud and vio-
ssnce, and stand by forgers and ballot box
suffers.
Douglas, according to Mr.. jordan, was then
IA tne right. He was pure and upright states
man. lie was, then a most exemplary polti-
ciaa and an entirely orthodox Democrat. Why
then. does moi Mr.. Jordan continue 10 speak oi
