This conclusion is confirmed (if it needs
confrmation) by reference TO their
paper of the 18th of July, in which af-
ter protesting to give their readers an
understanding of the whole subject, and
copying the message from the President
of the 50th of April, they say, " We be-
gan with the first page ofthis document
and published the whole, except the o.
missions already described,* of the doc,
uments which really accompanied the
convention as far as page 30" Page
80 of what, but the gerry pamphlet which
contained the whole OF the documents
on this very subject, the balance of
which filled eleven and a half columns
Of their paper on the 18th Of JuIy.l
They proceed, "the other documents
which itappears the Secretary wished
published, were those included in a COM
hunication to lt'e House Of Representa-
lives Of the 10Th Of the preceding month
a copy of which was also transmitted to
the Senate with the treaty.-What we
published was all that Immediately ac-
companied The convention with the o.
missions so frequently referred TO the
previous documents" those communi-
Gated to the House Of Representatives
on the 10Th Of March, "were overlook
ed in the hurry ofthe session." An OBJ
vious, though artlul effort is here made
TO separate the documents commuuicat-
led on the 10th of March, from those
which we're, for tie first time, commu-
nicated on the 30th Of April, and thus
furnish plausible ground for the iusin-
uation that the previous documents were
not within their reach, because they
were " orerlooEed IN their hurry of thu
session. Now, the "naked fact'' is
that the documents which they thus az
tempt to separate, were communicated
together, on the thirtieth of April and
were printed together, at Messrs. Gals
and Seatcns office, in the same identical
pamphlet, and put into the hands of e.
cry member of the Senate. Will my
one now doubt that they received Ills
pamphlet entire on the Goth of Ma p
Pray, Messrs. Gales and Seaton, what
tollolred page so in the book from which
you Published, as you insinuated tie
whole of the documents accompanying
the convention? What, ask emphai-
caily, but the very documents whmh
you have been charged with suppress
ing which filled more than eiev,n
columns Of Your paper of the 18th Of
July, which you insinuate had been O.
verlooked in the hurry of the session,
and which, in your paper of the 9Th oil
July, you unblushingly assert you had
never seen
Without making either compliant
or comment" leave these modest .con-
sistent, 'naked facts'' gentlemen totheir
own reflections; 10 the several exercises
Of their ingenuity in framing an excuse
which will meet this view of the sub
ject.
close my remarks on this part Of
the subject by asking, what now becomes
Of the love of Messrs Gales g. Seaton for
the Administration, and their respect
and esteem for the Secretary. of State,
the efficient agent in negotiating. this
convention and who was covertly as
sailed in the Senate by the almost unit
ed opposition of his enemies, to the
convention in any shape, and openly at
tackled out of doors by host of prosti-
tuted presses? All their love, their re-
spect and their esteem, evaporate in
single paragraph, coIdly signifying their
approval of the convention, without
single effort to publish to the world
what was alone necessary to vindicate
the administration, and the Secretary of
State-all the documents connected
with the subject.
PLAIN TRUTH.
49, The omissions already described"
consisted OF two extracts from resoIu-
lions Of the House of Representatives Of
February, 1891, and April 1922, and
were communicated TO the Senate, not
1ptth the message Of .Apri 80, of which
Messrs. G. & S. are here speaking, but
with that of May q, and were printed
with the letter only. Why then, in speak
ing of these omissions, do they, twice in
the same paragraph, refer them to the
pamphlet containing the message of A.
pril 80? Why but to divert attention
from the real omissions from that pam
phlet, and which they neglected, for
seven weeks TO supply.
