CHEATtag THE RURTH N THE sUUTH-
We have given an exposition II The fact that
the Locof5Uo m mayors at Washington city
have just published two lives Of Gen. Cas-,
precisely alike, except that one of them, desi-
gned for the for.h, represents the Ghneral
III favor Of HE Wilmot %proyiso, whilst the
other, designed for the South, represents him
as opposed 10 The proeiso. These lives exactly
similar in their external appearance and alsp

be punished only by the e~Dtefnal hissings Of
universal srorn and the terrible overthrow Of
the candidate who's interest ii was intended 10
subserve.
A fraud very similar in it's character, tho
scarcely less atf6ei1ls, was perpetrated by
The same managers IN 1914 Massfs. Blair

office these two thimbie-rigging lives OF
Cass have been sent forth, published III 1914
Two different prospectus for lie Congressional
Globe, one Of them Tor Pennsylvania ard the
rest Of III manufacturing States, advocating 4
protective tariff, and The other, meant for CIR
c~ulati1n inthe South, Quitting all reference
10 The tariff. This fraud 'vas established at
tie time and not denied and The proof can
be furnished over ag4in if The met b. den ed
