IL has been said that away from Louis
VIE and (among other places) had made tracks for
the Niagarahereore resolved Tuesday last, tript
t. CINCINNATI for one day only; returned again las
vdna us this instant the Journal of this city was nut
INTO W hnnd stating, amongst great many other
things, that had actually run away from Louisville
to escape the effects of the wonderful magnetic nee lie
Of doctor Snip the knight of the thime, alias, s.,
Wy return, however, proves that the fable of the DO
and wolf is applicable to the Journal. The fable is
"A boy was employed to watch and give the alarm,
whenthe wolf appeared; he being either 'footman,
ailorssn p, or liar, frequently cried out the wolff
coming to the great dsmay of the citizens Th W,
last found out his real character: that he liar,
and not to be believed even when he spoke the truth"
The fact is that produce their effects. So
will prove, of the all-wse writers, Dr. Snip & Co.. in
the Journal. | would advise them provide them
selves with steam engine PRESS in order to meet the
wonderful demand and increase of that paper az it Is
well known, there are many who seek for nothing but
fnsehOOd of sheer love to the vendors of that art
Gle But unfortunately for Goah Snip, of needle and
th'mble celebrity, the great of the millions of A
merican people, famed and far famed as lovers Of
truth Therefore they will las effects produced by the
cause 81 naturally say, to read paper that
may rely on therefore will seek out such and become
subscriber to the other journals, whose statements
will otpre,. false. Their last statements are too pal
pable to require r.futation; yet will state:
