The last number of the Milwaukee Weekly
Meas is filled with one topic--the order OF
Burnside suppressing that traitorous sheet,
the Chicago Times 1t pitches into everybody
and everything generally,who does not curse
Burnside. and President Lincoln for not re-
moving Gen. Burnside The freedom of the
Press lust now is the all i'll all-the freedom
of the Press, to scatter broadcast over the
land the frothings and fumings of rank trait
ors-to urge men to deeds of dlsloyalty and
treason-to thwart in every possible way, the
treason and save itself from destruction. This
is lust now the only kind of Freedom" that
the Ne,gs thinks is essential. Among others
particularly obnoxious to the censure of the
Meas in this connection, is Senator Doolittle,
The head and front Of the Senator's offend
ing, is the following extract, from speech
made by the Senator at Chicago, on the re-
scinding of Burnside's order for the suppression
of the reasonable Times:
President Lincoln no doubt thought the
time had not vet come for the exercise Of this
power. But when the necessity arrives the
president will certainly enforce 1t.
The Neacs makes these words the text for
half column of the most violent abuse, and
vituperation of Senator Doolittle 1t seems
almost impossible for the editor to find words
strong enough to express his holy horror OF
the enorlnity of the Senator's otfense. He
ONLY expressed the conviction that President
Lincoln would, if in his estimation it become
necessary for the preservation of the country
and the Government, enforce such an order
as Burnsides, suppressing the RESPONSIVENESS
ing Times.
The NercS winds up its TRADE thus:
"MR. DooLI1TLE is a senator of the United
States, responsible to the people and swor1
before God, to defend the established govern
ment and the lawful rights Of the constituent
cy he represents. He better never have beer
born than to betray the trust placed in hi
hands. Every outrage committed upon the
people of this nation or State, by his encour
agement, instigation or permission, will cling
to him far beyond the time when parties ant
administrations can judge him. There is NJ
power of men which can ensure honor or peace
to him who raises sacrilegious hand to murder
the liberties of free nation. 1t is the acme
of human wrong-the embodiment OF all hui
man crimes This is to- day the judgment O
the american people, and of the civilized
world"
Now look at the consistency of the thing
Senator Doolittle is known to be loyal to thu
government, loyal to his duties as Senator
loyal to the laws loyal to the people and thei
rights Since the commencement of this &C
cursed rebellion by the political friends of TIN
NewS, he has not ceased to labor for the sup
port of the constitution and the laws, and t.
preserve them and the government from tn
sacrilegious hands of traitors i'll arms for thei
destruction. The government has been strength
ened, and the hearts of the people have beer
made stronger and better and more patriotic
by his utterances in thousand eloquen
speeches. And yet the editor of the Ne'0
was never known to write a word of common
tor. On the contrary, the men who are il
arms to murder the liberties of free nation
who have been committing every Outrage
that hellish treason could suggest, for tw
years and a-half, upon the people of this ms
ton, have never yet received one word c
condemnation or reproval from the presen
editor of the NeWS. Where is the consister
cy of this logic of the Ne1cs, that makes tina
''the acme of all human wrong-the embod
ment of all human crimes, in one man o
set of men, which is perfectly right or PROF
er in another man or set of men. We con
clude the Netos man. and others of his kin
of Democracy, approve of the acts of jeff. Da
Wis and his co-adjutors in treason an
in their attacks upon the liberties {
a free Nation" because they have never con
demned nor censured them.
