"Of the Moderate party in Massachusetts,, said tha
they had become raed mot without cause) the late
constitutional and mischevous series of acts
poessed to be done for the advantage of Southern
stnons and that these not unnatuay had knded among
them sort OF resentment against slavery but that the feeling
entirely unjust nasmuch the free States had really
strongly sustained these crimes than the savehodns
ones; and that obviously the fault that of paryLoco
focoism and ultra Northumberland more than that Of
the South.
"Of the South said, however, that was much ia
blame IN aiding to pull down its only buwar the con-
stution, III order acquire alacous strength by mo-
mentay widening of slave territory, which shrink
back to It's old proportions, and thus magnify, after WHILE

mined opposition to all Federal free State meddng with the
subject, either in the slave States this District.
" As to agoton we denounced it only, whether

President makers and demagogues"
Now, what has this-prolessedly but brief re-
statement, intended for those who had not seen our
iaslfied artice-what has this synopsis to do with
the question: Is the Unions fabrication to be test
ed, not by the text which it forged, but by short
and general description of it, mol ,critfen until af-
ter The Justification ,oas committed? And does it
think to palm off upon the public this substitution,
really worthy only Of thmble-rigger and which
no thimble-rigger would attempt except against the
simplest pumpkin that ever gaped at the ieats of a
bungling conjuror'
And now, upon the heels of this most convenient
citation, what, reader, do you suppose comes
Well" you answer, Il see that the summary
from the lntelligencer is very comprehensive and
strong denial, in effect of all the Union's represent
tatons: suppose, therefore, it must fall upon that
and dispute every word of it, But you are very

raely affirms that there is no sort of conflict be-

account Of oar former article! But its own words
can alone fifty display the extravagant folly and
hardihood OF such an asseveration:
EXTRACT FROM THE UNION
Now, in the first place, be Observed these specica
tons, when taken in their whole length and BREADTH do
contradict In any way touch at all the greater portion Of
statements They do all deny the Intelgences
endorsement and appreciation of the Aboonst proceedings
either OF the minority Of The majority of the Wings Of Massa
chusetts IN their State Convention. They do all deny
the lntegencer scandaous assertion Of the close affinity be-
tween Northern Abolitonsm and Democracy. On the con-
rary, they IN terms admit and eerae this caum
n.y. They do not at all deny that the Inelgence did state
Mr. Jeersons views and purposes in respect abolition just
as we charged that journal with stating them And lastly
they do not deny assertion that the Inegence repre-
scented the opinions of Jefferson and the principles of the De-
mocratlc party with view to indirect and esuca and
on that account all the ndous and dangerously defence
OF the course recently adopted by the Wings New England
In uniting themselves with the Aboonists. On the
rary, that these specifications of the Inegencer
complete and substantial admission of our charge
on all the points which they touch"
There is, according TO those who have written
on the Mock Epic, an effrontery which should grace
and arm the hero Of that of piece an effronte-
ry superhuman and invincible as the chief quail
ty of the opposite sort of hero-boundess valor and
prowess. Beyond question, the audacity which
could make assertion like that just quoted is
more than mortal-rises to the true poetic and he
roc daring and if ever a new Dnciad should be
written, we recommend the Editor Of the Union as
It's Acnllles.
But let US demonstrate, and by a little compar-
ing together our short statement Is specifications
the Union calls them) and its own charges" see
whether any thing was ever more unfounded or
more absurd than what it " AYERS that these
specifications of the Integencer amount 10 a COM
plete and substantial ADMISSION Of oar the Unions
charges on all the points which they touch" The
reader will please recur to the specifications"
The second clause Of these declares the Lii
berty party to be dangerous body of men to be
bent upon impossible idea; to be willing to sac
rifce to It's pursuit every real principles to be on
" some" Of them conscientious, (which is certainly
saying very little for the rest;) and to be, in the
essence OF their opinions Locofocos.
| l. The Unions "charges" (given at large in
our paper of the l7th) were that we had, by our
original article, courted the Liberty pary," and
It's present assertion is that "specifcation' was
"a complete and substantial admission that we
had done so. 1t charged that we spoke of the " Ii.
berty men" as "a conscientious party - and it
now AYERS that our Specification" completely
admits that we did so. II charged, generally and
vociferously, that we art and part, by our ar
tlcle, to general Wing league with practical Abo-
uonism; and it AYERS that our specifications COM
Pletely and substantially admit the charge. II
charged that we were urging Wing Union with
| party OF whose reprehensible conduct in 1914 our
article warnngly reminded the Wings, and of whom
our specifications spoke dangerous as only some
OF them conscientious, and as essentially Loco
focos and it now that our specification COM
pletely admits our desire to unite with these men
