on . impartial suffrage. !" IF the ed :
itor of the Courier had been careful
reader of the JOURNAL he would
have seen an editorial on the article
from the Tribune, in which there was
nothing equivocal whatever on our

policy Of Congress. Beyond that
there is nothipgyas a party measure,
to which we are required to subscrib e
on that question. There is no propo-
