Charn,ing Constituency.

Its logic, Its morality, Its truth1ulness, car
dor and consistency. A brilliant specime
of its undoubted possession of these hig
qualities is afforded in its reply, In its issu
of Thursday morning, to our comments
its charges against the Democratic part
In its article on the ''Rule of Succession"
The Journal says TIE STATESMAN 'uttel
ed the following abominable, but transpal
ent and characteristic Misrepresentation
,ourlitsllanguage and sentiments" b &
sHere are two distinct and explicI
charges brought against the Democrati
party as a class of citizens, and agains
every man belonging TO It,"
Having made this quotation from Ia
STATESMAN, The Journal proceeds to say:
at the antidote had not preceded the ban
If our language did not give the lie to tn
statement--it might possibly have beei
deemed worthy of contradiction"
After some foolish and absurd remarks
about The STArEsMAN individually, tn,
Journal denies that the charges it brings arr
against the Democratic party as class o.
citizens, and Immediately adds:
"Our charges as stated by The STATES.
MAN, are thesei
ii. That the Democrats are inclined tc
apologize for those engaged in rebellion
and palliate their ofiense.
80. That the assassination of the Presi-
DENTS DISTINCTLY traceable to the teachings
of the Democratic party"
Right underneath this quotation from
The STATESMAN, The Journal says:
"This is the nearest approach to truth
THE STATESMAN has made for month past.
We accept it as reasonably fair statement.
We believe each of these statements to be
substantially and literally true"
Now, reader, mark the beautiful consist
ency of our truth-loving contemporary. 1t
says we uttered an 'fabominable, but charac-
teristic Misrepresentation of its language,
aad sentiments" and that its Language
gave the LIE" to our statement that its
charges were brought against the Demo-
cratic party as class of citizens" and
Immediately, in the teeth of these contra
dictions and denials, returns, like adog to
its vomit, and declares that its statements
that ''the Democrats are inclined to apollo
gize for those engaged in rebellion and pal
liaUe Jnelr Oneuse,'' AMI that ''tho assassina-
tion of the President is DISTINCTLY traceable
to the teachings Of the Democratic party
that each of these statements is "sUB-
sTANTIALLY AND LITERALLY TRUE"
Thus, out of his own mouth, is the au-
thor of that foul SANDER and base libel up
on Democrats 'sas class of citizens" con-
demned. He, like coward and sneak,
first denies that his charges were made
against the Democratic party as "a class Of
citizens" and, then, almost in the same
breath, like mad fanatic who would ''seat-
ter firebrands and DEATH" he proclaims that
it is SUBSTANTIALLY AND LITERALLY TRUE
that Democrats who are "a class of citi-
zens," are inclined to apologize for, and pal
late the offense of rebels; and that the
Democratic party, which, includes very
large ''class of citizens" teaches things, to
which the assassination of the President is
DISTINCTLY traceable. Out upon the self
stultifed liar and miscreant! He Isl spec
linen OF a genuine JOHN BRowNITE-a wor-
thy disciple of murderer and q traitor,
whose crime, like that of CAMS, bears "the
primal, elder curse upon it."

To prove that The Journal LIES when it as
serts that the assassination Of President LIN
COLIN is distinctly traceable to the teachings
of the Democracy, we reproduce the follow
ing editorial article from The STATESMAN Of
the 11th Of August, 1854. 1t shows who
threatened to assassinate the President, in
certain contingencies; who approved the
spirit of assassins; and what 'lOyal" paper
published the murderous proposition with
out giving expression to one word of disap-
probation. We ask everybody to read this
article from TIE STATESMAN of last sum-
lnier: sas iaia

Deacon GRAY used to be Democrat but
fat salaries and Abolition offices quite upset
his little mind and he is now one of the
Gcraziest Abolitionists IN the country. He
is now Quartermaster in negro regiment,
and Is sagonizingly loyal. The Deacon is
afflicted with the chronic "writin' itch, /" and
his brilliant productions generally appear
in Capt. HuRTrs Daily over his own sigma
ture, In HURTS State Journal of Tuesday
there is letter from the Deacon in which
the following enthusiastic paragraph occurs
on the peace question:
81 Ike the spiritof the Major in COM
marid OF the 6Oth Ohio. When in his pres
ence the question was presumpt uOusly
asked, Shall we eventually have TO COM

look and said, 4 entered this campaign
