They tell pretty story about Loco 70.
CO down In old Cheshire the other day, who
was conversing with wing on the subject
ofpolitics. Says he wing, "come now, you
are too honest man, Friend A., to believe
all your folks tell you" NO alnt-I be-
Iieve every word of It. Why, don't you
think knOwi My paper says 80. and you
don't 'spose that would state any thing but
what it is true, do you ]" "On' well. friend A.
editors you know are apt TO exaggerate a
little now and then-you don't suppose they

INV paper don't lie. went to Cook the 9TH
er day, and says ], Cook, they do say, you
don't always publish the truth. Now I'll
discontinue, if in the paper that you send to
nae YOU put what amt true. Put as many
lies in YOUR other subscribers papers as you
choose. but by George, Cook, send nothing
hut truth in mine. Well, Cook said. says

now. It was by particular contract between
him and me, that my copy OF the Museum
should tell nothing but what is true,no matter
how, many lies he squeezed into his other pa
pers. Now, Sir, want to have you answer
that" This argument shut the mouth of the
whig of course, and his learned Loco Foco
neiShbor went off under the trm conviction
that Cook every week struck OIL paper for
him, essentially different from those which
he sent to his other subscribers! Such man

"TAe PHILADELPHIA Fraud. The develope-
ment of this affair is still going on, and pres
ent appearances seem to indicate that some
fraud NAV be discovered before the conclu-
sion. The following testimony has " an aw-
tul souinting" towards such fact, and
tends rather to implicate the accusers than
to convict the accused. Mr.. Ingersoll stands
in very awkward light under the present
circumstances. Wonder if the Register will
tell its readers any thing about these facts |!
No. it will stick to its original fraud" and
brazen out the falsehood.
