ANOTHER FALSEHOOD REFlTrED

The inventive faculty of our Iocu Fuco brethren is
srg"arIy sharpened upon the eve Of elrctoh-bu',
thanks TO the Electric Telegraph. alsrho,l has sior
ter lime 10 run than formerly. The election TAX place
IN Kentucky This day. u i, known readers that
the pure and bile hearted Crenden is The Wing can
dldaIe fr the off If vernn. With a view 10 nJure
him in the estimation Of he friends Of Mr. Clay in that
state rnnsy story Fabricated, the effect that
Mr. CrirtendPn had written Mr.. Anderson in Gin
cnai, previous 10 the Thilad, lpha Convenon ure-
ing him to have many Iaylor delegates appointed as
possible, and speaking disrespecully of Mr.. Clay.
The Union, ufFrlday last, cried from the Louisville
Democrat, the following article:
"A letter from Mr. Andesr ia yonng lawyer Of
CmrInnati-tU Mr. Snel>on, formerly Of Jssnine c1un-
ty, Kentucky, is now in Washington. 1t contains The
language OF Mr.. john j. Crittenden in letrer t, Mr.
Andersen. Mr.. Crittenden urged Mr.. Anderson to have
as many delegates in favor of Grn. Taylor from
Ohio as sslble, means Of defeating Mr. Clay
tie sad in that letter. that everybody had beaten Mr..
Clay and that body could beat him.; that Mr.Clay
had been an incubus upon the party for the last twenty
years that he mad been milestone about tie neck "
The whig party
I'VE still further informed that John NJ. Bolts
declares that Mr.. Crlenden has USED similar language
| 70 him again and again.
Mr.. BITS published a card in the Union, of Saturday,
in which he says, 81 far his name is connected with
the story II has pa cle Of truth for is funda-
hon" The card goes say:
That Mr. Cntenden ardent in his support c'
General IAylnr's nomination, am sure Mr. Crl'tsn
den has himself denied desired To conceal, anc
presume il has been cJntrovertea by his friends; but
confess greatly panied and surprised hrnl heard
hat Mr.. CrenIen had ndulg ed in such language to-
wards that veneraIed statesman and still hope there Is
mistake about it, Ii Is not 10 he dened hal have
seen the letter alluded 10. Mr. Sieson (wirh whom my
acquaintance is very sshD did exhibit u letter.
which he said he mad received from Cincinnati, signed
j. l.. Anderson well as recoecl in which he (1r.
A furnished from letter said have been
written by Mr.. Crenden 10 him, in which Language
is employed similar To that conalud above. Further
than that, know nothing about the letr. An extract
from Mr.. And-rsp's letter 10 my ropmby Mr..
Snelsn. where it i, and has b en- since IL wa.
received. ] have shown it onr, and made
Of it,"
is apparent that Mr.. Bolts believes that Mr.. Crit
ter er has been guilty Of hat with which he is charged
.eh we confess ourselves TO be ''surprlsed" We
had hoped that every who knew Mr. Crllienden
would, un the first nmaon Of such charge, have re-
PEELED it with contempt and indignation.
The Lexington Observer Of the 26th ult details the
mac incry ihe plot, quotes lie extra. The pretend
ed letter from Mr. Crtenden to j. L. Andersen, Civ
sn by Andersen sneson, and then proceeds show,
from The repeated public declarations of Mr. Critienden
whilst in Lexington, that there could be truth in the
story. Il proceeds further to show that when it
proved there such person j. l.. Anderson in
Cincinnati, and when a call was male upon the Hon.
Lynn Boyd for the original documents, without which
nothing could be made Of the tae-u. it not J. L.,
but G. Anderson, whu was alleged to be the writer
This G. Anderson is absent from the country. The
brer Of Charles Anlers m. who supp,sei to have
written the letter to Sneson, has indignantly denied
having furnished any such extract ola letter on Mr..
Critenden--nor DIES h. believe Mr.. G. wrote any
thing ot the kind any persn and certainly not y his
brother Chlrles 81 much frcir:u n,'alua evidence
