of all the fasehoods circulated either by Kearny his
followers 1t Is entire fabrication: not only devoid OF
TRUTH but against tuth-directy fiagrany and in every
particular against truth. This is the extract:

initiation, and terror to which the unhappy party be-
seged the desoate hill of San Bernardo were reduced

own quarters, and there warmed and cheeIed into life
and motion. THIS from OF these men The story of
the frozen viper and the benevolent countryman is no
longer fable What imperfectly imagined by the
morast the Egean sea, near three thousand years

Pacific, and is longer NEUROLOGICAL, but historical.
True, the falsehood is found elsewhere than in the pub
locations of Emory: is found with circumsantality
and posveness, in Saint George Cookies San Diego let

Not Keany is known to have given public utter
ance to this unmitigated and migrate falsehood.
The next passage Continuing 10 quote from the Louis
vile piece contains kindred fasehood base enough, in
all conscience, but not comparable to the other and
moreover shared, with Emory, in some degree by both
Kearny and Cooke. This is the extract:

The germ of this alsehood doubt to be found in

despatch, with others, Emory the bearer, and,

This would bring to the 9th, and on the 25th Emory
