ticed ty q journal so pre-eminent as lhe
Journal we are fiattered. OF course, 1t Is
with exceedingly great reluctance that lhe
journal can be brought to do this; forS not
for great deal would 1t have the public
think It is habitual reader of The STATES
MAN. Its time is generally taken up with
grave studies, such as usually produce
lectures on .'Gumption," which are re-
ceived in country villages somewhat after
the fashion that some vendors of lozenges
declare they are received by children
"they cry for them" 1t is stated, with an air
and positiveness that scarcely admits OF
doubt, that in the neighborhOod where the
editor recently delivered his lecture on
"Gumption,p such was its effect that that
night corn grew two and half inches, and
peas and Strawberries grew at correspond
ing rate. Itproduced general outdoor re-
vival: and private and non-commission-
ed officer who heard it have been free to
state, that If the Government could only
have induced the editor of The Journal to
precede the army and deliver that lecture,
it would have averted vast deal OF fighting.
The magic oil man, or the razor strop man,
can't begin to hold a candle to him. 90
y; We did not however, commence with the
intention of eulogizing the editor of The
Journal for his transcendent abilities as
lecturer or as the writer of literature IN
which ideas bear the relation that grain
of wheat bears to bushel of chaff; but to
refer to his labored disquisition on "Dem-
ocratic Loyalty" evidently written on the
high pressure principle, while two young
contrabands were trying to keep him cool
by pouring iced water on his head. AS ne
thought of democratic Loyalty" his eyes
glared. his veins swelled and the words ran
on to the paper fairly Kissing. ly.,a,
democratic Loyalty" had plead for the
adoption of compromise such as Presi-
dent JOHNSON advocated on the ground
that It would avert war and pacify the
(, whole country. After the war commenced
4" democratic Loyalty insisted that to
make quick work of putting down the Re-
bellion, an infinitely larger force than sew
enty-fiye thousand men should have been
called for. democratic Loyalty denied
that the South could not be kicked into Re-
bellion. Democratic Loyalty" did not
estimate the Rebellion as so Insignificant an
affair that Pennsylvania could whip the
whole South, while Hamilton county could
whip South Carolina single-handed.-
democratic Loyalty" did not thank
God for the first Bull Run disaster,
and then use that disaster as plea for
making emancipation special object of
the War. "Democratic Loyalty" is not go-
ing round addressing convocations and
writing editorials declaring that the War
SHERMAN and GRANTS victories which have
brought us the surrender of all the militia
ry power of the South, and have brought
into our custody nearly the whole Rebel
civil GOVERNMENTS failure, unless suf-
frage shall be conferred on the freed slaves.
democratic Loyalty" is not lifting aloft
the standard of Reputation; nor is 'Dem-
ocratic Loyalty" denouncing President
JOHNSON TOR his North Carolina Proclama-
tion. 1t was not democratic Loyalty"
that sought to call down upon the head of
General SHERMAN the execrations of the
people because of the treaty (Which was
only to have effect when ratified by the
Administration he entered into with Gen.
JOHNSTON, which was to have given per-
manent Peace to the entire country from
Maine to the Rio Grande. It is not 'Dem-
ocratic Loyalty" that discerned in the AS
; sassination OF President LINCOLN the hand
of the Almighty moving to the execution
of harsher judgment on the Rebels than
President LINCOLN could find it in his heart
to intlict on them, and as especially select
ing ANDREW JOHNSON as the proper agent
for the performance of that work, and is
now fiAling fault with him for the manner
of his proceeding. -' g.
1t was The Ohio State Journal, the organ Of
Gov. BRoUGH, published within his sight
and within the reach of his voice, that on
the 9th of August, 1854, without a word OF
dissent or deprecatory comment, in letter
from Mr.. GRAY, gave publicity to the fol-
lowing paragraph: - p. '
81 like the spirit of the Major in com
mand of the Goth Ohio. When in his pres
ence the question was presumptuously ask
ed, Shall we eventually have to compro-
mise? He turned with alwithering look and
said, Il entered this campaign with over 800
men; to-day can muster 1872, and i tell you
If the President hints ever at compromise

On the morning OF the 18th of August
TIE STATESMAN condemned its temper and
its teaching, and on two or three occasions
it has called upon The Journal to apologize
for this publication that inculcated the as
sassination of President LINCOLN; and we
now again call upon The Journal, if not to
| crafty Democratic Loyalty" at least out
of respect to the political friends of Presi-
dent LINCOLN, and out of respect to the
brave men who are now returning home
from hard.fought and victorious battle
fields, to apologize for this iniquitous pub
lication. If unapologized for, or unex.
/ planned, it allows the imputation to resi-
upon "the Federal Army that they wer,
animated by such spirit that would hav.

limited at "Compromise." Again we as
