In tho same article, sir, some fifteen
Senators arc opprobriously named and
condemned by this Government press
The State Of Alabama is particularly
congratulated on being relieved from
the "CoIhounery" OF Gabriel Moore
But now new light has suddenly o.
pened which wholly changes the medi-

How long has il been since that paper

examination in Ohio" proved "that
the directors of the banks there had
drawn out more than the whole amount
of their real capital" This, sir, is
another daring and impudent falsehood
of that paper, and furnishes additional
evidence Of the desperation of this
Administration and its Government

Auditors report. and test the truth of
the fact stated by the Globe, that
