Our Neighbors stiii Afflicted with the
Nightmare.
The Editor OF the Courier is
dresdfully exercised in regard to the
fugitive chattels Of the Southern reb'
els. The negro haunts him in bis
sleep, dogs his steps in his waking
hours, and meets him at every turn.
He has taken General Ashley under
his special guardianship, and has
devoted about one-third Of his edit
orial efforts to him. Wonder if the
Generals cuticle is sensible to the
bite Of a gnat. The Editor should
send.a special messenger to Ashley,
and inform him that he has com.
pletoly demolished him,
General Ashley's sentiments on
the subject Of slavery. do not seem
to suit the Editor. Should not won
der, for Ashley has been Union
man and a patriot from his youth up,
while tho Editor has scarcely passed
the period Of probation. While true
patriots are directing their whole ell.
ergies to secure tho permanency OF
the Union, and arc not stopping to
think nor enquire how the personal
interests Of the deadly enemies OF
our government shall be affected by
tho means employed to suppress re,
bellion, the f litor is standing as
an outpost, to guard the traitors in
tho security OF tho very slaves en-
Iployod in their Notifications, and in
their camps, to aid them in the de-
struction Of our glorious Union.
While loyal citizens are laboring
with untiring energy to put an ef
fc;ent army in tho field, and feed
and clothe our Soldiers, the Elitoi
of the Courier, especially interested
in the detriment the war is to be to
the slaveholding interests of the
South, is seen running to and fro,
like the tory Of the Revolution, cry
ing betG BEEF! BEEF!
