The language put into our mouth by the "neutrap
wing editor Of the Boston Transcript used. We
have had occasion before to meet with and to denounce
this falsehood The circumstances which gave rise to
are these: The language was used in communication
which appeared in columns and the language the
principles advocated in articles communicated to COL
umns we according the practice Of all editors, do not
endorse nor hold ourselves responsible for But was
extracted from the communication by the editor of the
Albany Journal. and published and commented upon
editorial declaration Of the Union The trick OF the
editor OF the Evening Journal (Weed) amounted in sub
stance to fasehood, and we characterized it when
exposed it. Our exposure put an end to the calumny
for short time, but it too good lie for the wing
press permit to slumbe peacefully in its grave, and
therefore it has been again dug up and circulated as
genuine coin by the truthful and honest organs of that
party. But lit is falsehood to charge it to the edi
tors Of the Unon neither Of whom wrote endorsed it,

the Eutaw and Greensborough (Ala) Wing, makes the
following statement in relation the Unon and parcu

with oil abuse and vllifcation. The vocabulary
of the bully and the backguard has been exhausted oI
of denuncation. The fierce invectiye OF the soe
organ caught up and reechoed all the Union by
the opposition journals. Now, the weight of mans
opinion depends upon his character. No would

our readers see the choice and webred language with
which we are assaiDed by the Infatuated, vtuperatve
and vulgar mnions Of this administration and to contra

senior editor OF the Union That great man never de-
nounced the senior editor OF the Union as the greatest
