of the more talented ones farther west.

else! Curses loud and deep roll from the

Journals in the pay of Government, or
those which live by toadying to some man
who expects to hobby to Congress on the
back Of a "colored brother" will shout
Aileluias to whatever the llustrious old
joker of the White House may suggest,
but the thinking portion Of community
will read carefully the reply of Mr.. Lincoln
to the propositions of the rebel commits
sloners, and they will ask themselves how
many more sons and brothers the fanatics

out the Garrisonian idea of Emancipation.
Dick" Oglesby, Of this State, the Rep.
nominee for Governor, is "brick." II
heard him speak recently. A coarser
mouthed BLACKBOARD never mounted the
fostrum. Among the elegant expressions
which "Dick" uses towards his political |
opponents is &C. d. democratic SIS of

90 you remember that this great man is the
leader, to day, Of the great Humanity"
party Of Illinois, and every word he uses
must be "loyalS" He is making votes for
our side wherever he travels, and the less

well authenticated reports" and such
stuff that is blown to the winds by succeed.

friends the Munchausen sheet attempts to

Inc tribune does not lie except through
'gnorance-the Journal takes Petersburg
and Atlanta nearly every day, and panics
the maEket only for the benefit of those
who place no confidence in its "reliabIe re.

IS OF too little value to be supported. Re.

me they have paid ,oeH for their reliance
