It would be herculean task to attempt to follow
the opposition prints and expose all their fasehoods
to the gaze and Of the public. They manufac-
ture them FAST and circulate them freely, that
to trace them up would leave neither time nor room
for any thing else but to present TO our readers the
evidence prove their mendacity. Wetrust that the
which they have generally pursued is too well
known to the public generally, to require at our hands
any such attempt and therefore leave their state
ments to fall to the ground by the weight Of their own
obvious absurdty.
The last Delaware Journal contains, however, a
statement which may merit notice, containing
assertions which the Editor kHezo, might have
known to be false. II asserts that the President had
franked the prospectus of a paper, to different
persons, soliciting them to their exertons pro-
subscribers to that paper Had such been actual
y the TACT the objection to it would have with an
exceedingly i'll grace from the we have noticed.
for the fact is vigil known to every individual in Viii
mington that the Delaware Journal owes its existence
entirely the of the same means as those VIII
are alleged to have been employed in favour Ofthe
Globe and of which complaint ia now made. with
such assumed feelings disgust, and such wonderful
display of notes of admiration meeting of parti-
cans was held for the purpose; certain number of
copies engaged be subscribed for by particular ndi-
viduals the prospectuses franked to different places
for the purpose of procuring subscribers and persons

cited to lend to it kepng hand with the view of
injuringus. And we all know that the mails have
been literally weighed down with the speeches of Clay
ton, Burgess and such choice spirits which have been
sent under frank to every part of the union And yet
these are the men who pretend to be asonshed at the
idea of employing frank with the view of aiding in
the establishment of one newspaperin preference to
another!
Butwe pronounce the assertions, that the President
has acted as the opposition have alleged, with regard
to thomatter 10 be utterly destitute Of TRUTH and that
the Editor of the Journal knew, or ought to have
known, from facts before the public that the assertions
were untrue, when they were repeated by him.
With these facts before us, we rpay we'll adopt his
own language, and apply it to his own conduct. ala

is quite amusing dsubs to the readers Of the
