order to expose the unfarness of this card, and to
sustain the statements of Mr.. Green, the Intelli-
r gencer publishes the following article to which
we invite the particular attention of our readers.
A very remarkable party slratagem has
been brought to light in this city within
few days past, and one which exhibits in
strong colors the desperate strait in which
Locoiocoism finds itself, and the rash and I'M
scrupulons eXpedieEts 10 which it is rcsor,ina
To advert lis impending overthrow.
Since the publication made by the Hon.
Wills Hreen, III our paper of yesterday, we
have examined the eleconeerne document,
which Is the subject OF ii, and bears the tale
oil "Ihe Sonih IN Danger Bead before non
; rote .address of the Democratic association
Of Washington city," and we find il TO be
throughout an artul insidiuous, and inflamma-
tory appeal to Southern sensibilites and pre-
JUDGES That II was intended for secret cir
culaiion, SO as 10 reach Southern voters before
, the elections i'll next month, but too late to
allow OF the possibility Of reply,s obvious
from the fact, that in The list of political publ
cations, such as Mr.. Walkers letter upon
Texas, &c advertised for sale at the Specator
office, that tract, though printed at The Spec-
tator Office, is not mentioned
One or two copies of the tract havno i,
appears, fallen into the hands of the Chairman
OF the Wing Congress Committee. that oep,le-
man conceived that hc would be SERVING The
cause OF truth aud fairness by obtaining
number OF copies of it, and circulating them
among the People Of the North, against whom
IL IS calculated and doubtless intended to a.
rouse Tie worst possible feeling in the South
Not being allowed 10 purchase copies al the
spectator Office for the purpose, he caused the
tract TO he reprinted at this office Until the
controversy which arose concerning il. we
had not ready any more than the headline of

by the order of Gen. Green, is correct renrint
from the copy obtained from the Spectator
office.
The tract purpor,s TO he an address bv
1.-THE democratic Association Of WASHINGTON

and bears the signatures of the Chairman and
Secretary of The Executive Committee of that
Association. An article published in the
Globe of Monday evening, having the siona-
tules OF the same persons, denounces this
tract as "a base forgery" If it be forgery.
II is one executed at Il mint of their own and
Tor which the leaders of their own party alone
are accountable. But il is no more forgery.

be the height of cruelty certainly, to hold
the Executive Committee of the Society res

| Leaving the question of forgery to be set

are interested III asccrlaining TO whom among
them IT properly attaches, we warn the People

attempts, under whatever disguise, pretence,

The purpose of turning them against their real
friend, the truly National Statesman, whose
