Government printing 5000 more"
The Journal has teen selected as
medium for the publication of the laws Of
Congress, because it has the largest cir
culation of any paper in Southern 1ndi-
ana The rates paid are about equal to
those charged patent medicine adver-
| tisers, and for all money received from
the Governmental this way, full equiva-
| lent is returned. The amount received
is grossly exaggerated Of course. Moth
ing else is expected.
'Fat contracts say 5000 more"
Herein is contained nothing more nor
less than falsehood. No member OF
the Journal Company has any interest,
directly or indirectly, in any Govern
ment contract, nor do we receive any
thing fro n the Government except in a
legitimate, business way, for which we
return full equivalent. AS to the post
Office, it is no sinecure, as the business

knowledge. Any postmaster who will
give the Office that close personal atten
ton which is necessary to its correct
working, will earn all the money that h,
will realize. The talk about soft-cush
) toned chairs in post-office, as suggest
ing leisure and lack OF something II
do, is all romance. 1t is business in
which there is no leisure-no rest
scarcely, even on Sundays, holidays, ant
| of nights.
The reason that the Times is so per
sistent in its Misrepresentation, is be
; cause its Editor and friends know tina
! the Union men in this section of couu
j try are almost unanimously in favor o
I the denomination of Abraham Lincol
for the Presidency, and that, if re-nomi
mated, he piU be elected They fear thi
result more than anything else, and ar
getting desperate in their efforts to prs
. vent its accom- lishment The JournO
is the exponent, within the sphere of il
8 circulation, of the sentiment fsvorabl
Z to Mr. Lincoln's nomination-which, "
= say, is the all prevailing sentimer
!. amongst Union men. Hence, to attrit
ute motives of selfinterest to the col
ductors of the paper, is, in the opinio
/ of the Times men, to lessen Mr.. Lii
coins popularity in a greater orless d.
gree.
They feel that if they have NJ
Lincoln to oppose in the approacl
