That the journal is not a six weeks convert
to these principles, we think can be made
pretty evident. II endorsed them when il
lifted tho banner Of the republican party over
its columns. 1t endorsed them when its I'd
tor voted for and its columns sustained the
Critcndon resolutions Of the extra session Of
Congress. II endorsed them when Congress
enacted President Lincolns resolution. And
it has from the formation Of the republican
party and the outset Of the war, maintained
them with what vigor it had, and with perfect
good faith and sincerity. That we do not
misropresent the Journal, we here make few
extracts from our files Of year ago April
