A Courteous JournaIist,

The Ashland Union acquired a bad
eminence during the wal as the most ma
lignahtly disloyal paper in the North, not
excepting the New York Ne,cs and the
Columbus Crisis. OF course the mis-called
Union is delighted with the Presidents
policy, and with the Presidents denun-
citation Of the leading Union men of Con-
gress. It ever attempts to vie with Mr..
johnson in bitter and incorporate abuse
Of the terrible Radicals. OF late the
LEADER has excited its special ire, and If
pays US its compliments in terms which
surpass even the most elegant extracts.
from President Johnson's Birthday speech
As Illustrations ofthe amenities of htera-
ture, we append some extracts of its issue
of the 2lst inst. In the following it levels
its guns upon an Ashland county cores
pendent of the LEADER, in an article
headed HE Lies-the Dog"
j. at would be very easy for US to retort
with words of truth on this scamp-child
of he'll and spawn Of the devii-and use
words of far more severity, but we have
no desire to do so, as it would take longer
to penetrate his thick skull with the auger
OF common sense than it would to bore an

ready devoted more space to the seurvy
traitor than he deserves. We kick the

We consider it an honor to be vilifed BY
him, but if he sver speaks well of US we

centrated essence of and scar
rilty, farewell"
The Union mans intinatien, given
above that he could he far more severe. is
pleasant. Such paragraphs as that which
We have quoted are, We suppose, thrown
of in his lighter moments, while the fol-
lowing, which we find in an article headed
@The Cleveland Leader" is a specimen of
his graver strains:
"We ask no higher praise than the en-
nifty Of such pulling ~hypocrites, white

One of the most gallant soldiers fur
nished by Tennessee to the.army of the
Union was Col. W. B. Stokes, and his
regiment was one of the most useful in the
service. He is now a Representative e
elect of that State, but he does not COM
plain at the course of the Republican ma
jority of Congress. In a speech at Nash
vile the other day, he thus expressed
himself:

men choose to go astray, ever if they be

to follow any man. Your friends in
Washington are the Union men IN Con-

icals. I don't care what name you call
them. lean be called a Radical as easily
as I was called q Lineolnite and Adolf
ZIONIST in 1861. The Radicals are your
friends, I repeat Some of them ale a
little extreme in some of their views, but
still you must remember that these Union
men are the ones who saSed our Govern
ment in 1861, when it required all the en-
ergy and courage of man to meet the
dreadful crisis. Are they not the men

This staunch and reliable Union paper,
has, As our Northern Ohio readers will be
interested to know, been purchased by
Hon. P. Bliss, formerly of Elyria, and for
the last two years a citizen of the free
State of Missouri. The many friends of
Judge Bliss, and especially his former
constituents of the l4th Congressional
district whom he represented with so
much fidelity, courage and ability during
the early days of the Republican party,
will be rejoiced to learn that he is again
in the political arena battling as of old for
the great cause of human progress. They
need not be told that, under his manage
ment the Union, which is a fourishing
Journal, published daily and weekly, will
be radical, and radically right. We wish
it and its new proprietor the greatest sue
cess.
The following is an extract from the
article in which Judge Bliss announce
his purchase of the Union:
ITO those who know us, it is unneeessa-
rytoagive any pledge of our future course.
As life long friends of the Union, our love
for it is in no way diminished when it has
become the bond Of freedom as well as of
commercial interests. As life long enc
mics Of every form of human enslavement,
our hate of tyranny is in no way cooled
by its attempt on the nations life. As
friends of aequal and exact justice to all"
both in the Court House and at the ballot
box. we cannot now give up the princi-
pie because red handed traitors seek to de-
prive of such equal justice those who in
many parts of the land alone stood true to
the old flag. Having spent time and
money TO bring to the farmers of the
Middle States a knowledge of the resour-
ces Of Missouri, commencing when the
State was welded to- Democracy and sla-

The Cincinnati Commercial takes the
uRadical press" to task for incorporate
language in reference to the President.
Tojustify its lecture it quotes the follow
ing from what it calls a "recent article in
the Springfield illinois, Register:
.aThere is no reason to suppose that such
aBEAST (Andrew Johnson) will exhibit
signs o. ~penitence, much less will he be
likeiyto give up his grasp on the public
treasury. If any thing useful results in
this regard, it must be brought about by
C0ERCIVE MEASURES. 1t is now
reported that Thsd. Stevens declares, if
the House of Representatives was in ses-
sion he would move the impeachment of
the DEBAUCHED BUFF00N. It is
to be hoped Thad.'s Indignation will not
die out before the session commences. His
virtuous wrath should not be short-lived.
sIet Mr.. Thad. Stevens maintain his
proper indignation until the next session,
and if in the mean time Andy johnson
dces not resign, q most improbable e~onjec-
ture. nor die off in a drunken debauch-
equally improbable, for heaven is chasten-
ing, this nation in pivers miraculous ways,
THEN REMOVE BIN BY IMPEACH-
NENT.D
Now the Commercial seems TO have a
very strong case here, and it is a pity to
spoil fit. But there are two facts in re-
gard to the above article, which the Com
nsereiaI is either ignorant of, or strives to
hids from the people. The first is that
this article was written more than q year
ago a any one who reads it carefully will
perceive, and was not directed against
President johnson at all, but against Wee
President Johnson's extraordinary and
unfortunate behavior on the fourth of
March, 1865. The second is that the arti-
Gle is not from a Radical paper, unless to
be rabidly Democratic is radical. When
these facts are borne in mind it will be
seen with how much propriety the Com
naereiaI makes the article a text for a SER
mon to the Radicals. Has that paper
been sold, or is it trying to sell its readers ?
