We copy the above lying item from the
Milwaukee Meas, for the purpose ofexpo-
sing few of its falsehoods. ar I..T e.sl1
l. The publication Of the federal laws
was not recently or otherwise taken from the
Milwaukee Sentinel. The Seatiael was
merely designated to publish the U. S.
Laws of the 2nd session of the A38tll Con
gress. 1t never was authorized to publish
the laws Of the present Congress, oonse-
quently the publication could not have
been taken from it. 55-y aTs -...ssaa +. 5
2. The second fatsehood is in part an
swered in the first but not the most sfend-
ish part Of it--that the publication OF the
laws was taken from it. because Of the hos
tility of that paper to the Union" Nobody
knows better Than the editor Of the. Mems,
George f. PauI,) knew, when he penned
those words, that be uttered a maliciously
wicked lie. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the hostility Of the Sentiuel to the
Union, consists in its hostility to the rebels
and traitors WHO have tried (thank Heaven,
in vain) to destroy the Union, and to their
aiders abettors and sympathizers like the
editor of the Meas. ssAsGEH #ss1s Ea
3. We make this note not to dispute it.
but oshow that it is not valid objection.
1t Is true that we are in the extreme sou th-
east corner of the Statethat is, some thirty
1--WE miles nearer the corner than Milwau-
kee is. But New York is even nearer the
extreme southeast corner of the Empire
State, and who would ever think of object
ing to the publication of the laws in The
n Y TRIBUNE Or TIMES because those pa
pers are published n-At he-extrene south,
east corner of the State Besides there is

Washington itself in the extreme southeast
corner of the United States Aud we might
cite plenty of other instances to prove that
We are il good company io being in the
southeast corner of the State
f. Thank yos for that compliment If there
is one thing we pride ourself upon it is our
consistency and we are glad that the editor
of the NepS can appreciate virtue that be
never practices. The ''bitterly' radical
part4f the compliMept depends entirely up
upon what the writer means.by the word
radical" In this instance we know that
the editor of the News includes in the term
Radicals all those who during the war
Of the Rebellion sustained the National
Union cause, and nearly all those who in
the last Presidential election abored for and
voted for, Lincoln and johnson, aud who
but short year ago defended President
johnson from the foulest abuse, and the
viIest and most scurrilous attacks ever
made upon an honorable man elevated to
high position by the votes Of his country
men, made by the editor of the Ns1o8 and
others of his stripe who then, as now,
styled themselves con servatives, but not
then as non fulsome fatterers of candy
johnson"
s. Tnisis another malicious lie. Instead
Of can editorial attack on the President oc

on the President at all On the contrary it |
was protest against the general evil of the
times, inaugurated by the editor of the
NEWS and others of the same kind, in calf
ing things by wrong names, and thus de-
stroying all distinction between loyalty and
treason, right and wrong, &c See the |
need of such reform in the short item
quoted above. 1t is notorious to everybody
in this State, that the editor of the News is
and has been, ever since tie breaking out
of the rebellion, and before even, in favor of
disunion and secession, aud went as far as
he dare go, through bout the rebellion, in aid
ing, abetting. encouraging and assisting BE
rebels in their attempt at disunion lie la
bored through long editorials week after
week, to prove that there was no authority
in the constitution to prevent disunioD, and
that every soldier taked for that purpose,
and every step taken by the Union army in
to "a seeded State without its consent was
a fresh nfractioh of the Constitution, And
1t is just as widely known that the Milwau
kee SENTINEL and the Kenosha TELEGRAPH,
always have been, and are now, just as ear
nest in support of the Union and the irteg-
rity of the country as the Milwaukee Nevs
was in support of disunion and the rebel
cause. And yet by an utter perversion of
the meaning of language, the editor of the
Meas and his class, persists in styling them
selves and their rebel friends, UDionists
while the real earnest friends of the Union
are disunionists and traitors.
s. The editor of the Meas admires our
steady devotion to our miserable faith, y and
well he may. 1t is entirely owing to the
steady devotion of the great Uuiou Repub-
lican Party of the country in opposition to
the Ner8 and its party, to the same 'mis-
cradle faith, that we have to-day an un-
divided country, Free Government and
Union to reconstruct. 1t is the same mis-
cradle faith that brought the first $4,000
patriots into the field, and then the 'two
hundred thousand more, ten times repeat
ed, IN spite of the protests and the wicked I
advice of the editor of the News, and his !
rebel aliies-the same miserable faith c
that led Andrew johnson, in the midst of T
traitors and rebels, to cling to the Union !
and the free institutions of this glorious re-
