summing Oh the nauonaA Amteiu8encsrs
We have from time to time called the attention Of our
readers to the pursued BY the National negn
and to other facts and circumstances, which prove
that the in power entertain the reasonable design Of
imbitterng portion Of people against the Other
that they may win back the justly forfeited confidence Of
the country. In carrying out this purpose. we have
stated that the Ltsigsncsr playing double game
that il at time accommodating extracts from the
southern press, In order to conceal the danger which
hangs the country, so that the present agitation
might be kept alive and continued while at another
time it made extracts from the southern press, in or
der to create the impression that southern men de-
sired dissolution Of the Union, that the love
which every one en.erains for the Union, might be
awakened. and the administration might be enabled
to that love for Its own benefit, and turn the
present dangerous agitation to its own selfish and cor
rupt nsss The Notional Iatsignesr felt the force
Of those charges and in its issue Of the 2sth Of Feb
ruary il endsavors. by mssiatemsnt ve1gng towards
direct fasehood and forgery to escape from the position
in which we have placed it. The manner in which the
senior organ discharged the task s worthy Of notice for
is full and fair tortuons
Of the administration and Of the press which aids il in
carrying out it's raitorous designs against the peace Of
the country and the stability Of the Union The manner
is this:

We do not know what the editors Of the National
Inteliigeneer mean by paragraph" nor what
virtue and signifcaton they give to the expression
exc but it is clear that the senior organ Of the admin
straton has used them garbe words and to sna
bic it deceive the public, by extracting few sentences
and parts Of sentences from paragraph which il pre-
tended to give entire. The paragraph which the Infsli-
gencer pretends to give in the few lines have quoted
above, covers than half column Of the Union but
wequote only that portion Of it properly connected with
this subject acisng those sentences copied by the Intel
Rgsncer the whole paragraph The reader will require
comments to make plain the disrepuabe garblng and
