The Forest Press of last week
pays us compliment, which we are
extreme y sorry we cannot appropriate.
Quoting the article headed "Its Mis-.
sion not Ended" published in our
last, the Press says, 1.-The above is one
of the .ablest leaders that ever Mr..
Dunn wrote" To a person not famil.
lar with the rules of well-regulated
printing offices, it might be necessary
to explain that original matter is
al,cays loaded; selected prieces being
set solid, or else credited The piece
referred to was selected from one of
our exchanges, which published it as
selected matter, neglecting to credit
it. Knowing it to be such, we select
ed it, not knowing where to place the
credit. As we never wish praise not
do due us, we make this explanation
for the benefit of those who might
over estimate our talents. AS the case
is, the slight reference to our we'll
known modesty, is superfuous.
The Press compares the brilliant
record" of the Republican party for
the past IA years with the Chicago
conhagration. This mistake is not
strange. 1t is not the first time that
good men and good works have been
misunderstood and misinterpreted.
John the Baptist once said,a "And the
light shineth in darkness, and the
darkness ,comprehended it not" So
it is in this instance; the light which
has been shining on the henighted in
tellect of the Democratic party for
the past fourteen years, has, because OF
their defeat year after year at the polls,
been mistaken for disastrous confla-
grafton. Even the Egyptisn darkness
Of the Democratic House last winter
failed to make them comprehend the
light which 'shineth in darkness.
We pity them, but cannot consent tC
have the darkness spread over the en-
tire land, simply because they fail t
take advantage Of their opportunitie.
for enlightenment.
OF the exceptions to "honor, patri
otism, respeetability, intelligence,
&c, the Press points, with pride,
we dare say, to Tweed who was sen
to the penitentarya for his crimes,
and, the Press might have added, wa

decision Of the Court of Appeals,

Consistency.

Shepherd LETTER is the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Iowa, and,
like old Bill Allen, has been resurrect-
ed for that purpose from the grave of
the past. His last appearance il pub
lie life was in 1S47, when he held a
discussion with General Wilson ,at Cas-
cade, Iowa. In that debate General
Wilson expressed the conviction that
the time was coming when men "would
blush at the awful crime of human
slavery misses and cheers ! aud the
very men who hiss at my words to-
day." said he, "will Welcome the me-
gro to his freedom" To all of which
Lefiler made the following reply:i

he speaks of niger slavery as 'human

creation-the nigger. He would have
you turn these animals loose upon the
community-yes, more, he would make
them free citizens of Washington's
and Jefferson's Great Republic, and
then, no doubt, he would send them to
Congress -niggers in Congress, think
of it, and then after my fanatieal
friend had freed the niggers, he wanted
to free the dogs-saying with just as
much propriety that it was too bad to
keep them in human slavery [cheers

1647 to vote for him OF course, he
denies the paternity of the dirty
