1t would be very difficult for any one, al
though bent on bearing false witness against
his neighbor TO pen "A more dis.ingenu0us
paragraph than the foregoing. 1t is barely
possible that its author, was not aware, of the
extent and number Of its misrepresentation.
We can scarcely conceive, how mis-state-
ments. so numerous and so glaring, could
have been innocently crowded into a space
so small. But we give a wide margin 10
thoughtIess prejudice, and for the present
shall set down the offence to ignorance rath.
er than TO malice. That alternative, will be
denied US, If, the writer. seeing the opportu-
nifty, which we shall, in this article, afford
him Of correction shall pass it by, neglected.
The Bugle contrasts the course of the True
Democrat with that of the Herald. and char
ges upon the latter that it labors through
nearly a column TO prove the Ohio volunteers
no towards. Now this is not true we wrote
an article, the one referred to, to show that
the volunteers and the presses of the slave
States, in strict accordance with their enyi-
GUS and jealous spirit, usurping all that the
world considers profitable 10 themselves and
denying it TO the citizens of the free States,
had got up a false accusation against the
courage Of the Ohio Troops. We said not
one word in admiration of the war, or of the
conduct of the soldiers. We only vindica-
ted a fact of history, to illustrate the political
bearings of a sectional feeling. Whether the
ONO Volunteers were towards or not, was,
a fact, 10 be determined without reference TO
the moral nature of the cause in which they
are engaged, and we so determined it. A
man we should think, might vindicate the
lame OF Napoleon against any accusations of
cowardlcc without being thought too %favora-
BILE to his wicked and INSCRIPTIONS ambi-
ton.
Milton certainly ought not to have been
eXcommunlcated for representing Satan as
possessed Of the admirable qualities OF perse-
verance and indomitable courage.
The Bugle also charges us with quoting
the Advertiser, the paper referred to by the
Democrat. 1t evidently means TO be under
iNONs '"'' '" lHO'Su upITOUtHBtJ y, WHAT tHe
Democrat referred to, TO condemn, otherwise
there is no point to the charge, and it is
merely silly. Now the Bugle knows tina
we never quoted from the Advertiser, any
thing at all with reference to these "noblt
exploits" Mere quoting from any paper,
we do not consider sinful, per se--not ever
from the Bugle. 1t depends upon the thing
quoted, and the intention with which it is
done. On any other principle, we might be.
come parties to all the bigotry and nonsense
which we saw fit to notice.
The Bugle, whenever by doing so, it has
thought it could serve any of its W ends,
has not h~esitated to republish entire articles
from the Herald. The very number from
which we extract contains an example. We
want 10 see if it will be as ready to do so
when it can serve nothing else but the truth.
We therefore request it, as a simple act Of
justice, 10 republish either the article to
which it has referred, and misrepresented in
the reference, or this explanation. If it re-
fuses, we shall suspect that it too has deser-
ted the cherished maxim, not to do evil, that
good may come, for some more world-wise
counsels.-Cn. Herald.
