The Chicago journal.


We have e,joyed regular exchange
with, and per consequence the reading OF
the Chicago Journal for the last Is years;
and although during that length of time,
re have often widely differed with the
editors in political views, this at least we
are compelled to say, that the yo,unai
never forfeited our respect as an able, fair,
candid, and steadily consistent advocate
of Wing principles Time, the great set
tier, has disposed of most of the issues
that in former days divided the wings
from.the democrats. and other party names
and issues have arisen. But while large
proportion Of the old whig party, in as
Stunning new party names, have yielded to
the temptations of expcdiency and official
pelf, and forgotten their former principles,
such change can scarcely be brought
against the Journal That disgraceEul
finale of the old wing party, of being
merged into miserable abolition fac
ton which Henry Clay so much depre-
Gated, the Journal has stoutly and persist
emily resisted And so the time has come
around that we find ourselves, though
consistent democrats, agreeing with the
Journal still consistently wing, on the
most vital issue Of the day-the proper
disposition of the immaculate Niger in
the present war,-a question on which
the Jour7aL clinging to its whig instincts,
we are happy to say, takes manly and con-
servative ground.
The Journal in size, amount Of reading

news 10y telegraph, and in its financial and
commercial departments is behind none OF

sesses special advantages for readers at
Ottawa and indeed along most Of the rail
road routes west of Chicago. Giving all

cago up to 6 o'clock P. NJ, it contains about
all that appears in the morning papers.
