This is specimen Of .he paragraphs going the
rounds OF the Loco Foco presses They all come
from that Infamous min, of lies, the Washington

had been an nforner of the Globe, but the follow

TO THE EDITOR or TIE GLOBE.
WAsulNGToN. April 20, IS4l.
SIR The acc dental conversation hetween US,
some days ago having become, through your paper
of Saturday evening, topic of publication AID dis
cussion, desire that the exact character my Ie-
marks be stated made.
You are mistaken in stating that |, myself, heard
Gen. Harrison use the expressions "lt is wrong-l
can't CONSENT They we've merely quoted by me.
as derived from persons who were present when
they were uttered by him, and III proof that III the
wanderings of hls mind he was evidently dwelling
on public affairs, and made alusions to the annoy
ance and distress lhat he suffered from them.
The words which heard myself, during the night
| attended hy his desire, at his bed side, were,
s'My God | cant stand ii - Don trouble me,
&c-and denoted extreme suffering, either bodily
or mental but in no instance Id he refer, in my
hearing TO individuals, or mention the subject
In0yalS ttom Office
Yours, G. CROGHAN.
Here it is quite evident the expressions which
Col. Croghan heard were only those of man in
extreme bodily pain, and had no reference 10 public
afairs. Col C. however does not appear in very
enyiabIe redcament as an lnlormer Of the Globe.
We hope he did not watch by the bedside of bis old
commander for such purpose The Globe being
cut off by Croghan's denial, names several other
persons as its authority, every one ot whom has
published llt and indignant denial, and the Globe
is now busily employed in abusing its own Witnesses
for not confirming It's base calumnies. Its purposes
are, however, ansu cred in a measure, for all the
loco foco presses are actively echoing the hyena
howls of the Globe over the grave OF the old Presi-
dent, and scarcely any Of them ever making any re-
traction of the slander. The n. I. Times thus fl
ly notices the matter:
The Globe having received the lie direct from the
individuals by whose testimony 1t proposed TO es-
tablish its pretended report of the dea:h-bed ex-
pressions OF General Harrison. is now engaged in
backguardng the witnesses whom ii summoned to
the stand Nice paper that Globe. In the first
place it publishes sanderous and malignant lie, TO
which it iorges endorsements, and ihen abuses the
persons whose names it used because they will not
acknowledge the spurious endorsements to be gen
