We have shown with what fidelity the President

meat when Ike Aurora treacheously deserving

The Aurora cordescends To re-echo the hack
MED misrepresentation of the federal writers,

proch Of refusing 10 make upon other OF those

The executive calculated that the se-ator, from
Pennsylvania would vote against declaration of warhe

been twice recommitte their MOTION and the
H. 49, and that Xectd he the vote against
the declaration; great was the disappointment when boil,

nounced by TIE p0r1y."lYhat for voting for the war
Miserable misrepresentation j
The same misrepresentation is repeated, (Sept.
Q. 1850:
"We stated. in preceding paper that the Esocaire
pursrea double policy in relation the deearat-
of thar this policy predcat.d the apprOaeh-
ing presidential election and that at the very moment when
the President walking ON r9r Nt before the capbo
he had his agents creeoig b-ree1, the legs o The members,
& persuade then, against a declara'icn."
This caiumny is once more repeated in new
shape. The Federal Republican" in re-echoing
these calumnies of the Aurora, attempts to fabri-
cate additional evidence in their support
Ii is wonderful with what facility these Gentlemen
now re-echo each Others assertions, notwthstsnd-
ing tie outward contempt which they profess for
each other-i'he " f. r." repeating all that the
Aurora hal fabricated against the President--and
the Aurora, with Sinking aad smiling air, re-
al hof tlo h.
lican had after all discovered that the Aurora did
know something OF the political transactions, secret
well as public before the war" The Federal
ist even refers To Mr. Giles person on when
the President endeayored to prevail not to declare
war but let ste, shall copy the whole par
agiaph
"L confirmation of Mr.. Duane's opinion, state
fact that VIM. y. Giles of Virginia. the Democrat nc leader
of the Senate of the u States informed gentleman of
this City, and appeared make secret OF II, that Mr..
Madison employ him endeayor privately prevent
declaration srvsr :he urged Mr. G. vote against the de-
claration prevent other dong the thing. Mr..
Madison would not however, permit his name TO be used
Mr. Giles informed the gentleman alluded TO- that If the
President Ind permitted him make OF his name he
cod have prevented the declaration of but the

dcq,ation t,iess he would assure them ,ht tie President
7usHed them 30 10 dr. MIR. Giles said that he voted for the
declaration of war, because he that inevitable,
and he thought IL best 10 with the current This fact
speaks volumes"
We almos: blush at the necessity we are under
of aIluding to these Observation-Disclosures, without
the shadow of evidence to support them.
Where IS William Duane's evidence for them ?
Where is the proof lac exhibits, the witness, the
time, ihs place, or any one circnmstanc t. give il
Feasibility He has none, because exists. The
whole stovy fabricated by federal prints for
months before; and lie now condescends to become
their mouth-piece.
These misrepresentation were published very
soon after the declaration CT war-they con-
tradieted soon as they we're u,tered-When
cid the Aurora perceive their truth
Was il IL, che close of August. 1918, when speak
Jog Of the federal jour- ais tie calumnistors of the
President, lac declared, that " more contemplate
and prngate faction history does not record, than
the CossackS? 1t would he esdIess to expose
their wickedness and inconsisteney-their rage has
blinded them-tsey cannot forgive Mr.. .Hdd;sml
FIR haTing dared toviudicate the postrdted rightS
oGfle natiO7I."
VAST in February, 1914, when the Aurora de-
claros that it did not think it Necessary to be told
that the President of te United States is sincere
h attached 10 the interests Of his country 2"
Was it in January, 1915, when it proclaimed that
the administration have went Mr.. Duaue's gram
mar, 1sfr0ighf for1pards- Mcybnve not sfrMlk
from tie responsibility and more than the respOnsi-
Gilyoj'hieir stations ?'
Or, was IL in March, 1875, when the Anrora Law
ished its pa egyrics upon MIR. Madson-when II .
claimed that A" Mr. Madson has conquered an hon
orabie peace-that, To hear his grateful cOun'rvmen
resembling his praises from one end Of this vast
continent to the other, is indeed than equal only
To TIE horrors of the @amrcf' - aiuding to the

Mr.. NJ. has not only defudsd int snUed me
