Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1851-11-22

II Is only on one occasion out OF many, tudt we
think il necessary TO advert to the inscriptions
ialsehoods of the Wing daily press of this city
Our readers need not expect daily refataIion OF
its daily lies The object oflhis paragraph is to
warn the public against giving any credence,
whatever, 10 any OF lis statements Of things said
to be done in this city, by its political opponents
They must not suppose there is even colorado
pretence for lis misrepresentation of Free Soil
speakers and their speeches. Any inquiry at
reputable sources of information, will satisfy the
community abroad of that which is perfectly well
Known in this city-the total want of responsible
character, of the editors of the Worcester Trans
script They are accustomed TO attend Free
Soil and Democratic meetings, that they may
pretenito give reports of what is there said, IN
order to give plausbty to falsifcations concocted
in their own office.
In their paper Of yesterday, they represent
Judge Allen as having declared that there were
but two parties in the country, and, that he be-
louged to the Democratic party 1t is sufficient
to say thatihe statement referred TO is not only
destitute of any foundation in truth, but is in di
rect contradiction Of the sentiments expressed by
him. He did, indeed point out to the Democratic
party,a their true policy and just action opposition

man who should be true to the interests Of
freedom and opposed to the pro-slavery tenden-
cy of the times. But, he added, that whatever
course the Democratic party should decide to
take it was the duty of the Free Sellers 70 stand
firm upon their principles, and disregard all in
hueuces, from whatever quarter they might
come, tending, in any degree, 10 allure them
from their principles
Inthe paper of the same date, there is a repe-
titiou of the lsehood it had before uttered, con-
corning Judge Allen and the Rev. Mr. Cross.
The maxim by which the editors of the Trans
cript appear to be governed, is, the old adage of
rogues, that "a lie well stuck to, is as good as
the TRUTH
But, it is not with the editors Of the Transcript,
mainly that the public should deal. 1t is with
their abetors, wire pulers, principals, behind
the curtain The ostensible managers of the
paper have nothing 10 lose, and little to fear.
Once protesting Free Soil principles, but heng
themselves held in such estimation, wherever
they were known, that any principles, found in
such company would be subjected to suspicion,
their preferred services in behalf of the,cause of
freedom, even OF their oloa loC price, were
promptly rejected. In that state of abandon

is reproach 10 the city from which it emanates
that they should lend all their influence TO its
support, and dip their own pens m fasehoods to
fill its columns with false information, and libel
abuse, denotes the fallen condition of the

principle in its leaders, which social position
cannot disguise. Our friends abroad, as the,
learn the true state of affairs here, will cease tc
wonder that the influence, which some of ou
citizens once held IN this community, has de-
parted, aud that their names, in connection will
any cause, are ominons of its deleat.
