se, and place il. lis of veracity with US
sin position which not even vanity can deny TO be hu.
initiating"
The point Of veracity issue between and the Re.
public is precisely stated by that journal in the latter part
Of the following extract from its columns Of yesterday
son the 9th instant the Union made this remark in the
course o long article alleged sympathy between Pres
dent Fillmore and the British and French.'
"'Among the evidences Of this deporable proclIvitv
not the least In Significance Is the fact that long
clio in tho London Tmes-of which the above is an ex-
tactshoud be copied into the organ of ths
ton yesterday, without u word Of dissent
" Still further on it saidi
In this spirit viii be seen that the organs this whg
don Times when they say that Cuba must never under
any contingency, be annexed the United il
olutonand that evidence exists OF any disposition on
the par, Of France OF England disturb peace and
tranquility OF the United States
"These mpuations were in perfect keeping with the
spirit OF other articles PROT and subsequent and on them
we base the first part of the charge-namely that the
Union has again and again asserted that gave taen
approval 10 ne sfsmrts and Of the rsga
pre-" az 10 the ntrpeHfion Of France AID ESgand the
cTaus OF Spain Yet of this portion of the charge the
Union says it untrue stated Let the reader Judge
between US" ~
Here is specific charge by the Republic and specific
denial Of that charge by the Union and the charge is
preceded by the "poofs relied upon to sustain it. II is
manifest that they do not sustain it, nor in any way
touch it. The charge is, that have more than once
made specific assertion. The "proofs" are that we
have made several other and usry different assertions
The result is, that the Republics charge against just
what we said it was-namely, "untrue as stated !"
The first point therefore, OF the Republics humiliation
is that, after first totally sacrificing good manners in
order unnecessarily TO raise with issue of veraey
that journal has, in the second place. that very issue
totally sacrificed its vsrady in order to charge us with
making an assertion which, its own showing we
never made.
The second and still worse point Of the Republics HUI
initiation in this business is that the main avement OF
fact which it above cites from columns as proof Of
our want OF veracty happens to be avermen literally
and exactly true in all its stated by u.s. II is
fact that the 9Th Of October in the year of grace 1851
the Republic did copy into its columns the long article in
question from the London Times, without "a aoord of
dissent" This avermen of fact is made the basis by us
OF certain differences. which supposed at the lime,
and still suppose, TO be fair and logical; but, whether
they be not, they their face merely infer
and have nothing TO do with any issue Of veroeay
Just the remark applies 10 the whole OF the second
citation from above given and, indeed we do not I'M
dersand the Republic to deny that it has entertained and
expressed the opinions there attributed to it,
The Republic makes its next point as follows:
" Here the Unions words the llth. ..
They IL e. Inteisencer and Repubcl both received
into their columns, without comment treaty
o. intervention entered into by France and England
"Bu the Republic-that one OF the organs OF the adj
mnisa,ion which claims that II is always ready to ex

the Washington Union for its violence and injustice, de

ION the l2th said
90. The Union Of Saturday repeats its ssserSp that we
alleged intervention by European between Spain
and the United States and that did deprecae such
intervention until Thursday last We have already dis
ncty declared THAT this is the truth
and again point to file proof Of the decar aion
These passages substantiate OF the last three
fences which the Union pronounce untrue as
stated Will il persist in saying so r.
Every word here cited from the Union is exactly true
II is true that the sth of October the Republic received
into its columns without comment" British accounts OF
the treaty OF Intervention II is also that, on the
Thursday following. the Republic published its decla
ration TO the effect that such treaty would not be
tolerated by the United States We do not understand
the Republic to deny either of these propositions
Certainly they undeniable. But the above citation
from the Republic Of the i2,h instant s, in its ma
ieral avsrment, false on s face Ii charges that the
Union, on the nth, asserted that the Republic "did
NOT deprecae such [Europesnl Intervention untiln the
Thursday previous. Our language Of the nth is cited
above by The Republic itself; and most plainly there
is such assertion in it, On the contrary, there in
il just quite different assertions, both OF which

Republic itself OF course, therefore, it is not, the

And now, having, we think, sufficiently castiga,ed
the Republic for its manesty discredtable and improper
in this whole business, take leave Of the sub
