The Daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1845-1850, 1848-12-30


The several persons included therein i'll thereto take
notice and govern themselves accordingly 1t is hoped
that every will be promptly at his post, and do ali
he the election for the of Freedom
and Humanity.
The late Editor of the EgiS has published an article
in the last number of the paper the protested object OF
which is, to sustain the charges made by him against
Judge Allen in the Egis and True Wing of the 9th of
November last. more impolent attempt has never
fallen undo our observation.
In the FIST place. in relation the Conspiracy which
he charged Judge Allen with being party to. at which
it uas stated that circular was prepared signed and
procured to be printed before the Philadelphia Conven>
ton was held, calling State Convention to oppose the
nomination Of that body the Elk Editor changes his
ground and while he eiterates the charge that meet~
ings for such purpose held, admits that Judge
Allen might not have been them Thus at once, the
leading charge is abandoned. Yet The ex editor Az
tempts TO his retreat, by affirming that Judge
Allen had heretofore Sgnpathised with the political
course OF the gentlemen who charged as conspra~
tors.
We might well pass The mrerabe attempt 10
show that meetings for such object as is pr blended,
were held at ALL because il there had been thou>
sand of them, has nothing do with the questions at
ISSUE so long Judge Allen is not directly connected
with them. But 10 show the ptul Subtfuges which are
resored TO, in unfolding rotten cause, we will give
it a passing notice.
The editor re>states his charges, and in so doing
so essentially modi6es them almost entirely change
their character. He not only whdraWs the charge of
Judge Aliens participation in the meeting, but oms the
statement that circular there prepared and signed
Having thus changed his ground and emasculaed his
charges he arms, very gravey that of the truth
of his statements made, "expcit proof exists"
He then calls upon "Henry Wilson Of Natck for per.
mission 10 publish any evidence this effect, emanatng
from HIMSELF" and TO fancy that this call 10
pass for proof "But he says 'there is other and bet
ter proof" than this proof>at all, "for" he continues
1--WE are informed that circular was sent to the city of
Lowell containing the call for convention of all op.
posed the nomination OF Taylor, to which Mr. Aliens
name was signed" "Tha4 circular was mailed before
the nomination was made" OF all this, then ii seems
the ex editor "Is INFoRMED"-wben, and by whom,
he does not tell us-tha probably would not answer his
purpose
The object of this shifting of the ground, and resort
ing 10 new charges, is apparent Judge Allen had de-
sired the original sccusaion under his hand Fail.
ing procure particle of proof 10 sustain himself the
ex editor this subterge in hopes that it may
to some affect the election and counteract the
effect Of Judge Aliens denial
We will now state that we can prove, if necessary
that the circular in question prepared by one of the
sgners of it, without previous consultation with the 9th
ers-that it not done till after the Geographic an.
nouncement that Gen. Taylor nomnated-and
that Judge Allen could have known any thing abou,
it ill some days after ii was issued So much for the
falsehood.
The only charge against Judge Allen, Of which any
thing like proof presented in the that he preferred
Taylor TO Clay for the Presidency In support Of this,
he publishes a letter from Hon. George Ashmun who
says, that in conversation with Judge Allen at Pha.
delpha
81 said TO him that IF to hare Southern
President l much prefer Gen. TAILOR to Mr. C(ayn-
Mir. Allen replied with emphasis $50 should l."
There must be mistake about this matter We
authorized in relation the statement here quoted
present distinct and unequiuocal denial of its truth
Judge Allen has the slightest recollection of any such
conversation and he could not have made the remark
that is attributed 10 him, because il expresses sentiment
which he had entertained l! he had entertained
IT. Of his friends, this side of Washington, would
have been likely have known it, as they did know his
preference of Gen. Scott over Gen. Taylor.
In this connection, and as showing that there may be
reason 10 disrust the recollection Of George Ash
mum, may state that he has made statement in re-
Iatou to this very thing, varying, in important par.
ticular, from that now published in the Egs.
To thus small point have the charges so mysterously
prefgured, and SO pomPousy put FORTH dwndled down
charges which to annhiate Judge Allen and put
his friends 10 shame. Surely, ridiculous mouse
no mountain laborer ever before brought forth.
ALL In NUT SHELL. Why are the Taylor men
SO anxious 10 return Charles Hudson to Congress The
answer is obvious. IL because they know that he can
