1t viii be seen that Mr.. Whttlcsey bears MIR.
Sloane out, in every parculurtherc being an entire
agreement IN the cords, and what Is ofas much con-
sequence, IN the day, when M Sloane communicated
what had passed to Dir. Whittescy
On this state of facts we believe there viii be very
little division in public opinion. Men see clearer
since what they look at. longer be c1oured BY
the Presidential Election. Mr. Sloane has eetab-

has since communicated to the world II must either
therefore, he confessed TO he true or the incredible
superstition must be advanced that on the st Monday
OF Dec. l3e5-whcn there was but little excitement
when he supposed hmscifto be of The same purity
when Mr.. Sloane could hive had no motive for the
aet-he cooy to work to inve Mt this tale against
MI Stevenson. This supposition is too shocking to
common sense, 10 be believed by any one who has a
Judgment of his own.
We should not have said word, but for the manner
in which Mr.. Sloane has been treated by Q fey inds

ces both politically friendly and hostile to him, that
no man Is more E'orthy OF entire confidence; and
though the Jackson fever has turned him out in Ohio
no gentleman is more generally respected throughout
The State Yet, upon the strength of the official act
OF moving the publication of certain Public Docu-
l!cnts ar. Stevcnsons friends have called Mr. Sloane
infamous!
MI Whlttlcsoy Is a member Of the present and oil
tho next Congress. We presume he too, is nov to
DC pronounced infamous!
