as culpable as himself.
Now how does this matter stand 4
beg our readers to excuse us for !. V
fishing the article of the Gazette; Wei Z.
it is communicating; and that it wou,d

ANOTHER FALsEHooD,
"Since preparing the above s,,,s.
head we learn that Mineral Point m'.l
is received at the Burlington Land r 1s9
So much has been gained for the n,on1. s
We cut the above paragraph fromr s !
last Patriot, and present it to our rp.as1
as another evidence of the innate n,o ,s.'I
sity of the federal editor for misren,.rs..
tation.
From the tener of his remarks il. !,
ference to be drawn is, not merely N
Mineral Point money had before bee, \
fused at the Land Office, but its receo;l
was brought about through his wondpsI
efforts! Now what is the truth OF the !.
ter? 1t is this: The notes Of the Mias ,]|
al Point Bank have, as we learn, alv,,l
been received at the office whenever n
have been offered, since it was Opened /
the first of October last; and tie rll
amount received acithin that period Is D
than three hundred dollars! The res3
fabricator and vender of falsehood NJ
make another efort.-Gasette.
Now we solemnly aver that our ,s|
ment of the last week was true. M
we did learn after the standing head u
prepared, as we there statad that MINI,
Point money was received at the Ian
Office for Public Lands. We now al
further, and we call upon the Gs,,
man to disprove it, that i! was general
believed throughout Burlington that NIL
eral Point money was not received. hi
true that it was received as we HAYS siDs
learned, last fall, but we know that N
port was started the last spring that il vs
discontinued, and that report not bend
contradicted by the Gazette (the LaI
Officers newspaper it was generally n
lieved. There were not ten men in n
City of Burlington, who knew it was 4
ken at the Land Office, until they learns
it through our last number. We do NJ
pretend to say where that report stars9
We would by no means palm it upon y
Land Officers. They are believed to !
honorable men although they have |
their employ so miserable scrub tool I
the editor of the Gazette. We know h;
and we care not, where it started. BT
sure we are it was circulated. 1t seen!
however that the Editor himself butlati
became acquainted with the fact as
Mineral Point money had been recsT'i
and was now received at the Office. III
language is THE notes as we lean
present fense-He has just learned ~
made the discovery two days after af
selves, and how can we be accused
him of falsehood for not knowing a lag
when he, ignorant of the same fact, =
sumes to himself all the sanctity ofaB
manish Priest.
We now throw back the charge offis
hood into tine teeth of the Editor Of b
Gazette, with the contempt which J
miserable efforts at eliminating us, raer'
We leave him solitary and alone, hen
his own ignominy, and prey to hist
conscience. We leave him with the san
disgust, which one naturally feels Ens
retiring from a naucious and uncls'
thing.
