speech, which the Washington Republic has cop

Ipondent, which may be implicitly relied on, we
have that of gentleman who has seen the letter.

whole report as false from beginning to end. Of
this we had no doubt at first. In fact, we have

The editor would no doubt seem to utter upon his
own authority, that which he knew to be untrue.
But We cannot appreciate that system of morals
which forbds its disciples speak falsely and yet
permits them,to circulate as veraeious things which

we confess our want ofintegrity, and the end will

This is an error. The law abolishing the slave
trade in the District Of Columbia is repealable.-
The territorial bills are subject to amendment and
