Hereafter there will be no trouble in designating

We should have looked for . credit Of ct least
twice the number stated above. But We have
kept no record, and We suppose those whose
business it is to ascertain the number have

Whenever you open one and find it filled up
with abuse Of "Abolitionists," and whimperings
over the arrest and imprisonment of disloyal
persons, you may be sure its sympathies are en-
tirely with the rebels. You need not pause to
inquire what its editor PROCESSES. The indica-
tons above stated point towards dislcyalty as
the needle does towards the north pole. By
"Abolitionists" these men mean the President,
and oil who support him in his efforts to defeat
the schemes of traitors, and to perpetuate the
Union and our free institutions. If this object
be honorable and praiseworthy, as patriotic men
believe, no man who has the least love for truth,
liberty or country can have cause to denounce
it, or those who are engaged in the attempt to
secure it. A patriotic man cannot possibly do
it. A loyal press cannot do it. Differences Of
opinion among friends, are not likely to lead to
opprobrious and hateful censures and denuncia-

are loyal can afford to divide. They are united
