SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 6, 1g40

H
DE- The Richmond Wing perpsrrated a hoax,
the other day, upon the Richmond Enquirer and
the Washington Union; which would be a first
rate Joke, If there was not something little unfair
IN IT. The Wing published-as original-chanpinp
dates and names, an old letter published in the
enquirer some twenty years ago, urging close
search after opposition clubs and office holders with
view to remove them, and ordering a sort of
espionage to find out their sentiments. The Union
bounced upon the sentiments as vile and Infamous
and read solemn homiy against the enornitv Of
such system. The Wing then coolly restored
the dates and names, and showed that the letter
was taken bodily from Mr. Ritchie's own paper.
The uniairness wss in emitting paragraph which
Mr. Richie had published with the original letter.
wherein he approved Of the system of removals,
but protested against the secrecy and espionage,
The Padre of the Union has good many salient
points Tor The attacks of his opponents, but herein
they DO not treat the venerable gentleman with
CandOr.
