ru,cu - TO RE BELIEVED +,

The n. Y. Courier charges the celebrated
"Myslery of Iniquity" to be false in all essential
particulars.
The N. Y. Tribune, on the other hand, en-
dorses them as, follows
"There are some passages in The Mysle-
ries OF Iniquity' which have no proper connec-
lion with the subject, and which We wish had not
nnneared there, as they do injustice to disiin-
gf,ished and honorable Wings. But that the se-
neral exposition of gigantic Loco Foco fraud and
corruption of The ballot-boxes last Fall is true-
at any rale, thai such gigantic frauds were com
mirted here and elsewhere, we have conclusive
scienlous Wings who doubt ii. The controversy
between the writer Of The Mysteries and me
Editor OF The Courier and Enquirer has us origin
in causes very distant from The general truth or
credibilily of that exposure"
The n. Y. Express AYERS, That The Loco Foco
frauds" can be proved BY evidence other than this
