The subterfages Of Falsehood.


gal recklessness, and seems 10 experience no
sense Of shame when proved 70 be wanton SLAM
oerer. For some days past, several papers IN
different parts Of the country, have been hhed
with false charges against us, echoed principally
from the columns Of the ETPress that we, to
,piure Gen TAYLOR, had sent false and mali'
cioug Telegrapbic despatch 10 Albany which was
the cause OF the indignation meeting there, and
that it was only for want Of having the true copy
of Gen. Taylors letter at the meeting. that the
ipdignotion was continued over from Saturday tili
Mondey.
In Yesterday T,lJane We met these charges
one BY one. and proved them false. We showed
that The Tribune had nothing to do with the dis
ps.ch-;nai even ifit had the dispatch it'eh was
,,ue---aud that Gen. TAYLoR's letter, In foll was
read to the meeting Saturday evening before
anything else was attended TO.
From a fair antagonist VIC shouldhsv expected
either substantiatioD OF the charges, or frank
Acknowledgement that we had been wrongiuIy nc
cu.ed. We expected no such conduct IRON the
Erpyess. aud therefore we're not disappointed at
finding the following reply in last evenings ed
tion.

apology. We proceed, however, to dssect its
sinister reply
/. The cause Of the controversy IS misstated.-
Our article was written inrepy to the three false
charges made against us, which we have stated
above. The Express attempts to sncakout oithedif
fculty by trying TO lead tho public away from these
false charges which even itself with all its reck-
lsssne.s. cannot justify or defend-ss If they had
never been made--to other and different matters
Q The Express first pronounced the Extract
from Gen. Taylors letter, published in the Charles
ton paper, "Loco-Foco forgery and said that
be must be green who believed il genuine. Such
as the Extract was then II is now, not an sddi-
sional word Of the letter has since been published
How then canine Express know that II is genuine
now, If it knew that It was not genuine then, or
is IL the truth that knows nothing at all about II,
and cares nothing, provided 1t can only find some
excuse 70 attack The Tribune
; The ExPress, in answer to our remarks, ex-
claims Bah :" W. believe tits fact that all men,
no matter what civilized languages they may have
acquired, when Suddenly struck or wounded, cN-
prsss their sense Of pain in their vernacular or
mother tongue

s. The ETpress is truly complimentary 10 the
Irish II fs,crs them their ssgacty in discover
ms that thsd shown them trs.e sympathy The be-
loved leader, Of the Irish people were sneered at
ey the ErpvSs. Eagerly swallowing the British
isseheod tina, Smith o 'Bren had fed to this coun.
sru. the Express called him a coward. When an
lri,hman from Dublin had the hardihood TO write
Us his opinion in letter stating that the people
had struck the first successful blow, the vocabulary
Of bilhnesgate was hardly copious enough to ex-
press its contempt for such audscity Unpublished

IT in its sbase OF ireland, aud glorifcstion OF Eng
land that the ssgaoioas editor Of Queen Victorias
organ in this City, The Albion, singled out the
Express for special praise After all this show Of
Kindness and compliment to the Irish, how could
they feel otherwise than grateful or the true

will take them some time TO discharge the debt Of
gratitude they owe it.

enough 10 suppose that any respectable citizen
would prostitute the name of patriotism to pur-
poses Of swindhng; but we like TO get the Express
