When the LAYING false returns, and frauds on the

of fraud knayery, bribery, and dehauct and when e-

We feel II our duty enter into particulars because
This statement is absolutely false The scenes OF riot
and confusion which the Wing Gazette says has dis.
craced Congress- are entirely the work OF Whlggery
The whole Abolition ard Bank excements winch
have from small beginnings, ended III INDUSTRIOUS eiec-
lion frauds and the Of violence and abuse winch
have been referred TO degrading the once elevated
character Of Congress and the country, are OF wing
ornin and growth And all those recent exhibitions
of disorder which have excited the animadversnn OF
the Gazette have been shown on exclusively by wing
actors Does not the Editor of the Gazette know, that
the late disorders which he particularly aludes as
havnp marred the business Of Congress for The last
two weeks, have been introduced ny ;. X huahs' anu
that not one Democrat has appeared, or taken any part
in them :
1t is our duty, however, the charge Of dsgraclne
Congress is inpu,rd to the Democrats, ~ participating
in the DELAY and disorders for which the wing majority
alone resncnshe to specify the particular instances
Of public violations Of decoum which have occurred,
that the public may know where the fault lies For
this we shall hereafter refer 10 the Tecord-Giobe.

, On application 10 the u. S. Court, Judge McCalcb

the Bank of the T. S have been taken BY the Marshal

free from any judicial interference.
