McGill expresses his opinion of the "Freeman's Journal," stating that he looks upon it as being the best Catholic paper since the "Catholic Miscellany." If he should be separated from the Journal by the present crisis, he hopes that his children will have access to a paper similar to the Journal. Some four weeks ago the tone of the Journal did not please some of its southern readers. Now they hail with pleasure its appearance, since they believe it has turned against the present national administration. He believes that the paper informed the people to bear in mind the ill in the administration, should Abraham Lincoln attempt to carry out the principles of his party. He comments on the blessings of freedom. He believes the mass of people are loyal and true to the government and would remain so if the president did not turn friends into foes. He speaks of Kentucky which is being called coward by the rebellious southern states. McMaster should throw caution to the winds, for he will receive remuneration and consolation in an easy conscience. McGill does not send his dues because he does not have suitable currency. He states that Mr. William Touhy of Bardstown would like to become a subscriber to the "Journal." ` P.S. McGill vouches for the character of Touhy. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
