Republican Papers ON the
Course Of Fessenden and Hen
dersOn, and their Colleagues.
The New York Post, of the l4,h. re-
fcrring to the raving ofthc New York
Tribune about Judge Trumbull, Of ILL.,
nois, says:
Judge Trumdull, who is thus coars.
ly attacked, is known to every body
as one Of the atlest jurists in the coun-
try, man of calm ard sound judge
ment, u frst.ratc lawyer and sincere
and tried friend of liberty His char
actor as q man is above reproach; the
Republican party is greatly indebted
for its success in the past "a his Wise
craftsmanship; no was the trusted
friend of Lincoln; ard the defenders Of
impartial liberty ought lot TO forget
that he wns the author aud the ablest
defender of the Civil Rights Act.
ITO doubt such mans love of lib.
erty is foolish; to accuse him ofaccept-
ing bribe is an outrage upon the
public sense Of deconcy. To read him
out Of the party is to leave the party q
good deal weaker than it ought to

"Trumbull, Grimes and Fessendcn
are denouaccd Infamous. Are they
infamous Does the country believe
that they are moved by any thing else
than conscientious desire 10 do their
duty2 Does any man who has NO;
lost his senses believe that these mon
are bribcd; or that they are consciously
false to their duty2 With whom is
the sober second thought Of the people
most likely to agrce-with the Trib-
uno and General Butler, or with such
men as Trumbull, Crimes, Febsenden
and Henderson, II is plain that these
gentlemen perform duty in many
) ways painful 20 themselves; they arc
driven reluctantly to act IN opposition
TO their own wishes; their verdict il
given in favcr ot u man whom they
consider un wise, and whose occupation
OF the Presidential char they believe
has brought evils upon the country
Is il not honorable 10 them that theii
sense OF Justice and duty impels them
TO disappoint the demands Of theil
party, even ut the expense of ahcna-
ting lifelong friends and of differing
} from men with whom they prefer tC
act in political matters ?"
