The War Upon Hon. John A. j.
CIcSvcss.

A war is attempted to he wagcd upon Hon
John A. j. Cresw'l by e party of small fry
envious politicians of this State, who take
refuge in the Republican party, if possible
to injure, rather than aid it. These meu
seem to be animated solely BY envy and
jealousy. little Chase campaign penn,
paper, in its third month, printed in Balti
more, was the first TO commence the abuse
of eX, Senator Creswell. Last week the
Civilian md Telegraph, issued at Cnmber
land in this State, published I.bored iour
column article i'll abuse Of this distinguished
champion of Republican principles in Mary
land, the greater part of which is sneers
and the remainder made up of ialschoods.
AS an Offset to those petty attacks, We
subjoin the following expressions of admira.
ton coming from the solid Republican pres,
Of the State. The Boousboro washington
county, odd Iei'or says:
The Baltimore american last week IRE.
scented the name of Hon. }. A. j. Crcswell.
ex-senator from this State, as the Republi.
! can candidate for Vice President. The ex.
| pericnce Of the last three years has taught
us how very essential it is to have a irulv
honest, capable man for Vice PRESIDENT

ready to drive the assassin dagger into the

aud while We do not express special prefer
cuce for Hon. j. y. J. Crcswel over man,
others equally deserving auh worthy OF SO
high trust, yet va 'uud most cheerful,
give him our hearty support in tho event o.
his nomination, ana feel that we would nul

The Westminster Sentinel says:
"1he Baltimore Amcyiroh las ran up the

Vice Presidency. This gentleman is well

The Frederick Rcp"bicun, one Of the
most ''Radica' Republican Journals in
Maryland. edited by Col. Black, gallant
soldier of the Army OF thc Potomac, come,
out this week In advocacy Of The nomination
Of ex Senator Crcswell as the Republican
candidate f1r Vice President on the lickr,
with Gen. Grant.
| Those fellows who are IL l4e habit o.
abusing Crcswell profess to be t the cape
| cial proselytes and defenders Of Henry Win
| ter Davis. TO show how completely The
language OF that great man puts those little
envious tradncers 10 shame, we quote from
| these senseless attacks;
"As to Hon. j. A. j. crcswell, we en-
| phatically assert that no man in the Senate
| OF the United States stood higher than hi
| did in all the attributes of gunhmc RepIb
| licanisni, or is now ncld in higher esteem by
! his late fellow Senators. As the friend OF
Hon. henry Winter Davis, the antagoniSm
of those who profess to have Leen his un'
! taltering admirers comes cspt cialy with Il
very bad grace at the present time. Have
| they forgotten that the Republican majoriyin
both Houses CT Congress selected Mr. Ores
| we'll hy Unanimous ote to deli er a euljgy
! upon the life and services of Mr.. Davis
We shall, however, not attempt t. anter into
any controversy on this point, further than
| to lay before our readers the following ex.
tract fosl p letter we received few days
since from one sf the most advanced Re-
publicans of the iso,rdar States: Il know
Ureswell personally. but slightly. how.
| ever know OF him well-very well. J knew
| II. Winter Davis somewhat intimately. He
; taught me to value Creswell as one Of the
abl.ac and best men in the country. have
| watched his course in the terrible contests
in Maryland, and have honored him for the
| noble part he has borne. y
In confirmation of the above, we will state
that ex, Senator Creswcl has been invited
by the National Republican Committee tc
canvass New Hampshire in support of the
Republican ticket, and that he starts fol
that field Of labor this evening. The cleo
ton takes place The second Tuesday in
March, The National Committee select the
ablest speakers in the Republican party to
stump the State Of Franklin Pierce. 10 The
face of these witnesses 10 Mr.. Creswoll'
ability and sterling Republican principles,

party of Maryland stagd rebuked il not
