Evansville daily journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1863-1866, 1864-02-15

Tense Of the Union. This paper, per !.
hape, forgets that il, applauded the act OF
the rebel Goyeruor, Masofin, in sending
his insulting refusal to the President
when asking for troops 1t was an ar
ticle Of the Louisville Journal that
caused the Union men of Tennessee,
headed by John Bell, to make COM
mon cause with the traitors. 1t. was
an article in the Journal that
made thousands of rebels in Kentucky
upon the issuing OF the emancipation
proclamation 1t was the Louisville
Journal hat-supperted Vallandighaul,
the Peace Democrat 1t is the Louis
Vile journal which is now seeking to
form party WITH Fernando Wood as
the leading spirit 1t is the Louisville
Journal whose columns TEEN every day
with denunciations of the policy of the
war, calling it an Abolition war. Ii is
the Journal which, by such means, in
duces Kentucky soldiers to turn Copper
heads an0 then desert, and which causes
others to refuse to re-enlist to ~ fight for
the niger" 1t is the Journal which is
cursed and damned by every respectable
unconditional Union man In the State
as the bane of the party. Here IS
paper edited by two men, born and
raised in the extreme North, who, com
ing into Kentucky and taking up the
negro as their especial pet, denounce
every Stakeholder who says his negro
property shall not. stand in the
way Of the war. And these two
Yankees, renegade Yankees, who
have deserted the principles of their ia
Tiers, have the impudenee to tell slave
isholders, men whose ancestors have held
slaves for q half dozen generations,
that they are Abolitionists because they
Hove their.country more than their ne
groes. It is time that this thing had
| stopped. It is time that the Louisville
! Journal should know that the people of
this Stale do not look to them 4 for wis
dom or guidance on political matters
/ These Northern men with Southern
principles have ever been nuisance
curse to. the country-and are. so still.

Northern men with Southern principles,
and the same class of Kentucky politi-

footsteps Again, this same Louisville
Journal is telling its readers that its viz

approachable, that it is poor to day be
cause it is Union paper; that if it had
yielded to the profered brides of the
rebels it would to-day have been rich
Now we believe the true story of the at

given to the world, and defy and dare
the " Journal to give its consent tc
have the history of it given to tbs

Perhaps the Journal would not boast Sc
much of that transaction, if the whole
truth was known. But enough, the bal

silly chattering of the Journal, abou
radicals and abolitionists. 1t need no
be afraid of the "slight terrors " of tn

are too used to the songs of "such Irisl
Nightingales," to pay any heed to

to hold its own, and for that purpose
