match for the treason, corruption and re-
belion that may take root and germlnate
when planted by demagogues and would be
parricides-that the Union planted by our
forefathers shall stand firm as rock, Inc
land of the free and the home of the brave
when all who have tried. with impious and
sacrilegious hand, to pull down the noble
structure shall have gone glimmering,
among the things that were.
Z. The question whether the President
has abused his friends will depend very
much upon, who his friends are. The Ed
itor of the Milwaukee Meas after exhaust
ing the vocabulary OF BiIlingsgate and his
own ingenuity in Safeguarding the Pres
ident, while he thought he could make
nothing out Of him as merely the President
of the Senate. turns around now that he has
become President of the United States, aud
befouls him with praise. Having finally
set himself up as the friend of the President,
the editor Of the Neag8 whines like whipped
cur, and claims that the President has
abused him, because We have been appoint
ed TO publish the federal laws.
s. 1t is consistent for this mendacious
coppeIhead concern to talk about 'the stu
pendous enterprise Of converting the Keno
sha Telegraph, into an organ of Union prin-
cipiea, " It would be a stupendous enter
prise for the editor Of the Meas just such
an enterprise as it would be for him to at
tempt to convert the glare of mid day into
light, With dark lantern. While the reb-
els were III the height Of their power and
the success of the Union cause was hanging
on the success of efforts that were being
made to fill up our armies, the Milwaukee
Ners showed its Willingness to support
Union principles, aad the Union cause by
such arguments as the following
In July, 1864 under the call of the Presi-
dent for more men, be said
'Itwonld be interesting 10 lnow just how many
lives would shriejt this administrator thirst for hui
man gore. We have gil en- 1t tWo or three millions
of men and the rebellion is strongera this momea.
| than at any hour before To please its policy we
have erected hecatombs all around the borders OF
the southern con6ederacy. And the more we give
the more Lincoln wants and the keener his appe.
ute for slaughter. We fancy his satellites never see

crying after him as sweet morsel, wroDgfuy with

Again in the same paper, the editor Of the
Marc Loc fbo fO1lC,.,i,c, Oh,
tanning full enrichment previous to the
draft -.
We have no heart to help hunt down the white
population of Wisconsin and dedicate them to mer-
CHESS slaughter, Wholesale that the negroes without
our lawful jdfsdicion may live lives of poverty,
idleness and crime Our admiration of barbarty is
not SO great to induce to exult in general de-
srucon of the property of our neighbors, (by free
ing the slaves that the white of southern States
may become the dray horses of northern masters.
we do not believe 1t IN the line OF our duty to en-
tice rosy-ppe1 boys from the laps of their mothers
TO assist in Jbing innocent southern children of
their homes apd Inheritance. - -- -,..
And again in October of the same year.
speaking of the Candidates Of the Union
Party for President and Vice President
Lincoln and johnson, the editor of tile N6ags
said
.
that curses the nation is now a candidate for the
Presidency. The history of his reign the past four
years Is black with the testimony of his want of
honesty and integrity He is the model of every
coarse fanatic that God permits to live among us
lie is the friend and patron of every man of EASY
pubic virtue whose presence belouls community
lie hos braved popular opinion by outrages upon
the people which no tyrant of the old world would
have yentured upon IN the plenitude of absolute
power lie has forfeited and abandoned all claims
upon the respect and confidence of the INTELLIGENT
and the ylrtuOus, and seeks to accomplish his I'M
halloWed purposes, by bold appeals the passions
and the prejudices the ignorant and to the selfish
interests Of the base and corrupt"
And thus we might go on quoting from
editorials Of the Milwaukee News all through
the rebellion and we could not find line
written during all those dark days, more
friendly to the Union and Union principles,
than those we have given above And yet
this northern organ Of secession rebellion
and disunion talks graveIy of the ''stupen-
dous enterprise of converting the Kenosha
Telegraph into an organ Of Union principles"
Is it not a burning shame that the President
should so abuse this self styled friend of his,
as not to give him the publication of the
laws
