ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

Some Of the friends of the Hon. John
Davis have thought it worth while to take
formal notice of the miserable SANDER
which charges him with hurraing in a
public street in Worcester on the recep-
ton of the news of the capture of Wash
ington by the British forces in 1914.
The falsehood was first published in the
Worcester Palladium one of the vilest
loco foco sheets in New-England. To
the enquiries Of his friends on this sub
ject, Mr. Davis made the following reply:
WORCESTER, Aug. Is, 1910.
GENTLEMEN : some weeks ago read
in the Globe published at Washington,
such a libel as you describe, and it was
credited in that paper to the Palladium of
this place. | have also been informed
that it has been industriously circulated
upon that authority, through the country.
| have too long witnessed the prosecuting,
vindictiye spirit which has pursued me
through that press, to believe that an err
ror injurious to me would be corrected, or
falsehood retracted by it.
nave lonS Since come 10 Tue cOnclu-
sion, (and | doubt not that all who read
that paper have similar convictions that
nothing would SO much crafty those
who control and manage it, as to fix some
stain upon my reputation--you can Judge
for yourself how important this object is
deemed, and what means are employed
to accomplish it, when I assure you that
there IS not a scord Of truth IN the report
to achich you refer, nor any circasmsta,s-
ces scifhie n1y knowledge. achich can
justify or palliate s,tch a falsehood. l
declare with you, that I never heard of
such an accusation till now, nor do | be
lieve that any other person has. This is,
however, much in character with the ca
luminous assaults which have for some
time past been made upon me;--but
have the satisfaction of believing an in
telligent people do and will see through
the motives which prompt them, be the
DISCUSSES and professions under which
they appear, what they may.
Respectfully your ob't servant,
!. DAVIS.

NOW, II you or your neighbor, Mr.
Smith, or any body else, save and cx-
cept that high officer, the President, were
to make two statements like the above !;
would it not at once be put down against
you, as a palpable contradiction, to say
the least of it? If the fair open truth
cannot sustain position, then indeed is
that position untenable. Now reader if
you be democrat searching after truth,
we do not wish you to lay this down and
denounce it as newspaper falsehood,
without first examining the two docu-
ments from which they purport to have
been distracted. The President calls
this extract from his message ga garbled
extract from that document. We here
say without the fear Of contradiction, that
1t is full and entire paragraph, and the
only one in that document abiding to
the accompanying report of the Secreta-
ny of War, and without having :" its true
meaning fa1siied by the suppression of a
material part."-St. Louis Bulletin.
SAGAcIrY OF GEN. HARRISON
Wheeling Times of the 9th ult., makes
the annexed statement which, if true, as
we have no doubt it is, places new
flower in the bright chaplet of the Wes-
tern Veteran:
1t was owing to the sagacious advice
and entreaty of General Harrison that a
fleet was placed upon Lake Erie, to CO.
operate with the army on the frontiers.
President Madison at first hesitated about
the propriety of the measure; but at last
yielded to the urgent appeals and sound
arguments of Gen. Harrison. The fleet
was placed upon the Lake, and the gal
liant Perry was appointed to the com
mainland the result proved the fore
sight of the illustrious General who
planned the movement! The letters of
Gen. Harrison are on file in the War de-
partment, unless destroyed by the ir-
ruption of the enemy into the Capitol in
1914.
CAN IT BE I've have been told by
one whom we regard as good authority,
that the United State Bank has now in
this quarter one or two agents, paying off
the U. S. pensioners, army contracts,
&c. &c. This is said to be under an ar
rangement with the Secretary of the U. S.
Treasury. by which the bank has agreed
to anticipate her debt due the government
Of course the agents pay the government
creditors i'll whatever he can bargain for.
Can it be that the government is doing
this, whilst she is requiring the Bank of
Missouri to place her funds in New
Iork.--lNo. Rep.
The following, which we received af-
ter writing the above, goes far TO confirm
the foregoing:
"The New York Express says--Ex-
change on Philadelphia is getting worse;
it has gradually fallen from % down to
d per cent. discount; while the rate on
Baltimore and farther South has not al
tered. 1t is stated that the government
has anticipated a portion of its bond, due
from the U. S. Bank; and that it has re.
ceived the bills of the Bank, and paid
them out to its army and other contrac-
tors. This considerable sum of U. S..
Bank bills circulated at this time has in
creased the amount due by the U. States
Bank to the other banks, and as there is
but very little demand in the city for
drafts on Philadelphia, the rate of ex.
change has consequently become worse. =

NECESSITY FOR CHANGE.

twas remarked the other day by very
intelligent mechanic, who has made up
his mind to vote for Gen. Harrison.
81 shall vote for Gen. Harrison, not
because have abandoned MY democratic
principles, but because believe that Mr.
Van Buren, has abandoned his, and / am
of the opinion, that his most prominent
measures are anti-republican. /, there
fore, think change will be wholesome.
The times have been getting worse ever
since he came into power, and he is de-
termined to persist in his evil course.
think change must be for the better--it
can not be for the worse.''
There is much good practical sense in
his remarks, and we fain would hope,
that there are thousands laboring under
similar convictions as to the ruinous
measures of Mr. Van Buren, and Of the
propriety Of a change. Bal. En-. Gos.

Speech Of Senator Walker.
DR. Madden says that slave was fog

every stroke.
This is but an approximation to the hap
by condition of Cuba. When the wa
ges of the laborer is reduced to ten cents
a day, and the standing army established,
the situation of working men in both
countries. will doubtless be the same.
In other words, the free laborers of Amer

INDIANA ENTERS THE LIsTs.-At the

Delegation proposed, on behalf of their

the State which shall cast the highest
Wing majority, in proportion to the en-
tire vote of the State, at the approaching
Presidential election; and the State re-
ceivng it shall thereafter be denomnated
the "BANNER STATE" of the Union.

race will not only win but deserve the

SUB TREASURY OPERATION. Two or
three years ago John Spencer, Receiver
Of Public Money at Fort Wayne, Ia, was
found to be so neglectful of his business,
that many even of his own political friends
advised the Administration to remove him.
Ex-senator Hendricks, however, thought
proper 10 interfere for his protection. The
Ex-senator wrote to Washington, that
Spencer's family was very influential, land,
that his removal might consequently have
a bad effect. "Better let it be- said he.

ALMOST A RIOT, AT TALLAHASSEE
There has recently been considerable ex-
element at Tallahassee, Florida, growing
out of the following circumstances.
1t appears that the Van Buren, Con-
vention held at Ockney, in the beginning
of August thought proper to resolve that
the Wings of Florida were in league with
the Northern Abolitonists, at which the
party thus slandered were justly indig.
nant. The resolution was published in
the Floridian, and the writer's name be.
ing demonded by some of the aggreved
party was, after much shuffling, disclosed
by the Editor of that paper. Pending
the discussion, Gov. Reid called into
Tallahassee some military companies in
the service Of the United States, on the
frontier. A committee of citizens re-
monstrated with the Governor on this
course, declaring that there was no dam
ger of breach of the peace, and re-
questing that the troops might be with
drawn. They represented that the Ter
ritorial Government had no right to call
these troops from the defence of the from
tier, as the citizen soltliery of the city
was amply sufficient to quell all trouble
If the Mayor had seen any resistance to
make the presence of the military ne.
cessary.
An unsatisfactory answer was returned
by the Governor, and this fact becoming
known, the people began to assemble in
considerable force; the drums were beat;
arms collected; artillery brought out and
charged, and things began to look serious
lRemonstrance was, however, again tried
with the Governor, by the citizens before
proceeding to the last resort. After /;
protracted negotiation he consented te
send the troops away, and on their de.
Iparture the excitement subsidized.

them.

of The 'P.AN SUBMITTED by that officer

United States"
In his late letter he says, "a PLAN,
which not only never had been SCENTED
to me, but was not even matured. until
more than THREE MONTHS after the mes
sage was sent to Congress.

NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY. In the
British House of Commons, March 9Th,
Lord Johu Russell in the course of some
remaiks upon the estimates and the army
said
The whole difficulty with respect to the
boundary question in America was the
failure of his noble friend and the govern
ment to make reply to the ultimatum sent
from the United States. His noble friend,
In the course of last year, had transmitted
a project for the purpose of finally settling
this question with the American Govern
'ment. After the lapse of considerable
period the American Government sent
back different one, called a counter poi
.ect, with various provisions of their own.
Attic same time that these provisions
reached this country there at the same
time arrived gentleman who had been or
-dared to make survey of the country in
which the disputed boundary existed -
ahese gentlemen were now employed in
making report Of their survey, and as
soon as their report was received. an ans-t
wer would be given to this counter project
OF the American Government. That was
the state of things at present, which would
show hon. gentlemen that there was not
the want OF any attention in making an
answer to the ultmatum, as the hon. mem
Der called it, of the American Government.
