for long time sAnuEL CRnoHEsD an "old

that noble partyf' AAer the above, we should
not be surprised IL the editor Of the Journal
himself should put in a similar claim.
As for the statement Of the Journal that
Mr. c. "is an old Wing, and holds to the doc
trine maintained by that noble party, we deny
Il, and challenge the editor to furnish the
proof for the truth of his assertion.
The article does not deny the truth Of the
extract we published on Monday, written by
personal and political friend Of Mr. c., claim
in gthat in 1854, he declared that " 20 OPP

Mark the language. Mr.. CRuGHEAD did
not merely condemn certain provisions of the

the very sentence which we have quoted--by
the very language used by Mr.. CRAreHEAD-
he gives conclusive evidence that he himself

he assumed in the remark quoted placed him
not only outside of the Wing party, but into
the ranks Of the Aboltionists.

ence what the Journal "says," or "pretends
, to know?' 1t declares that "Mr. CRAIG.
} HEAD is not an extremist he is an old
, 'Whig," but according to its own reasoning
it makes no difference what its declarations
! may be. We claim, however, that it does
make difference what the Sentinel says
e That paper is an exponent fair, truthful
! and candid exponent of the Republican party
so admitted in the Northern portion Of the
I State The editor has no interest in Mr..
CRMGHEAD's success, but the interests of the
, party of which both he and Mr. CRAIGHEAD
are members. He spoke in fattering terms Of
? Mr.. c., and urged his election. He had n
right to speak thus, having formerly been a
+. resident OF, and publisher of an opposition
paper in this city, and political friend of the
h Republican candidate. What he said, was
said on his personal knowledge of the man
! of whom he was speaking.
e As for the Gdzettes Iowa correspondent
e he gives Mr.. CRAIGHEAD's own language, and
IS it has come to pretty pass indeed, if as the
IS Journal says at doesn't make any difference
II what that is. We, have also heard the name
e of the writer He too, like the editor of the
d Sentinel, is political friend of the Repub
h can nominee for Congress. Unsolicited, he
g wrote to the editor ofthe Gazette, paper sup
l. porting Mr., CRAIGHEAD and published in this
e city, and placed on record the opinions of Mr.
y c. which we quoted Had it not been for thi,
n correspondent, the people hereabouts woulC
1t not have known it. We doubt not that the
D. candidate has cause to exclaim, Save me from
If my friends.
