oros. MISREPRESENTATION Corrected.

We advise the editor OF the 'Pit;sburg Gazette to be
rather chary OF his correspondence The scrbber
whom he employs in this city is scarcely worthy of his
hire" If may Judge him by the following specimen
in his letter of the 22d April We should not condescend
to notice it at ALL if entirely related to ourselves but
there is gentleman involved in its imputaons. for whose
character have sincere respect 1t is due to HIM at
least to give the story fiat and unqualified conradie-
ton;

The "Union" disclams all "dsmal dttes" 1t sheds

tone. What we feel is what we express-a strcSs ana
burning Indignation against those who abuse their Office
and violate Ineir pledges, in Furnishing the democratic
office holders when the President obtained his elevated
post by solemn professions of "no- paryism Let this,

In reply to the allegations of this letter, state posi-
lively that we have been tricked and po.ed upon
by Mr. Wescou. We have come 10 no determination to
exclude him from our columns On the contrary was but
the other day that phbshe an article from Mr. West
COTS own pen which we received from his own hands SO
much then for the present relations between u.s. what
ever may have once existed There was no necessity,
then, for Mr. WIS employing any mans pen to copy his
articles for the purpose of palmng them off upon as
the compositions OF the amanuenss Last of all men
would General Foote have stopped to such Office and
for such purpose. We say further, with the ut
most TRUTH that our compositos have not up any of
the Generals manuscript for eight weeks past The
last that we recoect to have received OF his hand

delivered by him in the closing of the Senate

and against our) will, and in defiance Of (our host
ty" is not only grossly but absurdy false We advise
Junius therefore, profit by this example, and to take
better care of what he may hereafter write to the
Pitsburg Gazette and also advise its editor to take
better care against his being Imposed upon" by his
careless or mendacious correspondent
