The Newark Journal (Democratic) gives
up all hopes for the Third Party movement
in New Jersey, and says it is absurd for the

who are eager to enforce the act demand

the prosecuted citizen of Wisconsin will be
liberated.
The u S. Marshal Of Wisconsin is very
solicitous that the abolitiOnist Booth shall
feel the full measure of his punishment, and

fully looked them over first to pick out such
as were incendiary in their character-

cratic standard, the prisoner was allowed

abolition editor in prison, condemned to
read only Democratic newspapers. Can
Imagination picture worse punishment?
