Show Last week The Journal printed 1)3 columns of reading matter: the Republican Re-publican printed :w. -"The Only." Thk Rki'iiiilican has no quaircl with oui immaculate contemporary on the score of columns printed, for the reason that "columns" sometimes do not count. Despite "tho only's" self-confessed supcrioiity to all things in all places, Tin: Looax Rki-uiim-can, bom twoyearsagounderadverse ehcumstances, now sends out more papers to bonatide subscilbeis than "the only" which has been parading Its supcrioiity for twenty-live years.
