The Democrat
publishes an article from the Chicago Journal
defamatory of Col. Jennison. The secret
of the Journal’s opposition to
Jennison is not that it has anything in reality against that hero, but because
the Tribune spoke praisingly of him. Were Washington alive and the Tribune to write an article favorable to
him the Journal would take opposition
ground. Those are its principles. When we have the leisure we will tell you why
Col. Jenison is the object of persecution by the Buchanan proslavery press.
