A Jusf REBUKE.-Tbe Dubuque Herald, an
out and out Democratic paper, is exceedingly
disguised with the efforts of Harper 4 Brothers
to conciliate Southern people and regain their
lost southern patronage, by abusing Mr.. Lincoln.
It says:
The sudden impulse to laughter caused BY
these caricatures is very properly succeeded BY
the reflection that they are conceived and exc.
cuted and published for the sinister object Of
making money, at the expense, too, of decency,
propriety, and the repect which every good citi-
zen should have for the President of the United
States. sst.ff
For one, we disapprove Of caricaturing the
President in this manner, or in any other way
that might have tendency to subject the Presi.
dentinf Office, to ridicuIe or disrespect We can
enjoy good laugh, and like 70 see others enjoy
one on properly laughable subject, but We pro.
test against making the President Of the United
States, 10 any aspect, the subject of rdicule for
the purpose Of INDUCING in merriment.
