tiOn."
Under the above head the Chicago Jour
NAL of late date, with its characteristic
fairness and liberality, comes to the defence
of Senator Doolittle of this State.
The JOURNAL says
''The treatment which Senator Doolittle
receives from certain Republican papers is
an illustration of an intoerant and arbitrary
spirit, which, we fear, is wofully gaining
ground.
Senator Doolittle has voted several times
differently from what we would have done
If we had been in his place. His record,
particularly with reference to the Civil
Rights bill and the admission of Colorado,
is not such as we can approve. But for us
to mangle the mans reputation for honesty
and sincerity, because he differs from us on
these and kindred questions, would be des-
picable and repreheDsible in the extreme
We vote, act and politically behave alto
gether in accordance with our own sense of
duty and we believe Mr.. Doolittle does the
same. He has an unsullied reputation: is
t held in warm esteem by his personal friends
and no public man in the country has anti
slavery antecedents of better accredited
description.
''Sena tor Dooltte has done no public act
and cast no public vote which mitigates in
the least against the honesty of his purpose
or the sincerity Of his heart. He has no
associate in the body of which he is a mem
Der, just now distinguished with men of dis
tinguished nobility of character, who is su-
perior tohim in theihonorable repute he holds
among those who know him best and most
thoroughly
Especially is it unfair, not to say very
mean, to charge this man with recreancy to
human rights simply because he is opposed
to the interpostion Of the Federal Govern
nlent in favor of negro suffrage at the
South. That is question upon which the
first legal talent Of the country is divided"
We fully endorse all that the Journal says
above, both as to the need there is of more
liberation among men Of well known Union
principles, who happen to differ upon some
minor points, or upon the mode of arriving
at the same ends, We have always been
an admirer of Senator Dooittle and al
though we differ with him as to his course
on the Civil Rights Bill, at least in his last
position on that bill, our mind has under
gone no change as to his high talent, COM
handing intellect and integrity of character
i But we think the JOURNAL falls into an en-

PASSED THE HoUsE.-We notice that the
River and Harbor appropriation Bill which
appropriates for the improvement of the
Harbor at Kenosha, $50, All, passed the
House of Representatives on Monday last.
There Is no Harbor along this whole coast
that more needs such an appropriation, and
none upon which it could be expended that
would be Of more value to the Lake com
mercc and Navigation.
We hope the bill will meet with ne mis-
haps i'll the Senate from local prejudice or
preference or factious opposition in the Sen
ate. The Harbors and Rivers that were.
pertorce, neglected throughout the war for
.he Union, should now receive as they de-
serve the fostering care and assistance of
the General Government.
