BY THEIR OWN MOUTHS DO WE FAST
EN THE LIE UPON THEM.
Ever since last spring when the Burlington
Free Press and ourselves showed up the hypocri-
sy OF locoioco professions in favor of protection,
by quoting upon them their resolution OF l84l-
the Spirit OF the Age and Patriot have, by the most
contemplate quibbling and evosions, emdeavored
TO release themselves from the responsibility of
their own act. The last bulletin is as follows:
From The Spirit Of The Age, July 90.
1.-THE Patriot says L. ID. Barber did not ,orite The
ocofoco resolution of l64l, saying Industry must
take care Of ITSELF Barber reported the series of
resolutions, whether he wrote this or not--he
supported the resolutions in q speech-and the
Convention unanimously adopted Them Dare the
Patriot or even the Spirit cfMe Age, deny this'
Watehman.
You are wretched quib5et Mr.. Watchman-
We told you, long ago, tina, Mr.. Barber did not
write did not introduce Chat or any, did mol
speak upon The resolution 10 Dhich you refer. You
knew u this when you made your base charge
against Mr.. Barber, and when you penned the
article to which this is reply, you knew TINT full
and unqualified denial had been given TO it and
yet you 20 on repeating il, as il il never had been
proved n wilful and malicious SANDER o whig-
gerry thou art so beautiful
il would be ensy for us to show TINT the Age is
still ut its own game of" quibbles but we prefer
to state the fuc's as The o6cial proceedings ofihe
Contention state them, and dIus prove Eastman
liar By his otcn testimony.
Extract from The official proceedings of HE loco
(oco State Convention, holden June IL, lS4l.

Here, then, all The material facts alledged in
our paper of the 18th ulr. are sustained by their
oon record, signed by the editor ofhe Age himself
viz: That the resolution in question was supported
('discussed' says the record; of course they sup
ported The resolution or they would have voted
against il y by Barber, and unanimously adopted by
the Convention. We did also say that Barber
reported the series of resolutions which assertion
is moi sustained by the record In this we sup
posed we were correct, from our notice Of the
Convention al the time, in which we stated that
Mr. Barber read the resolutions TO the Conven.
ton. That he read them to the convention we
are sure, by the evidence Of our own eyes aud
ears. That he iornte them, we belieye-but we
give it up that they were probably reported in form,
by one Of the committee. Where now stands c. G
Eastman, editor Of the Age' July 90, ls42, he
asserts loundly, that Mr.. Barber DID NOT
SPEAK upon The resolution. In ls4l he stated
that MI. Barber land olhers) DISCUSSED THE
RESOLUTIONS SEPARATELY, signs the
statement with his own name, and publishes it in
his own paper!! Let him and his echoes now
stand as convicted and acknowledged liars, or
publish to their readers the following
PLAIN TRUTHS.
Resolved, That the true principle of the fed J.
eral government is, to confne its action to The OBJ
ects specifically enumerated in the constitution
LEAVING INDUSTRY TO REGULATE
ITSELF"
This, with other resolutions was ably discussed
by Mcssrs Dillingham;, Barber, Spading, Fnrr and
others, aud unanimously adopted by the locofoco
State Convention Of ls4l.
Take your position, gentlemen of the Age,
Patriot, Sentinel, sc. sc. Truth or Eaisehood :
choose ye.
