Thc R,pubijcan denies that this is fact and
says that Mr Greedy never wrote a letter con.
tanning the above quotation.
Now all we know about the matter is simply
this. The New York Express, whig paper,
said, it was said in rcriidbi- letter written BY
Mr.. Greedy The Buffalo Commercial, (whig)
said that the letter was genuine, and true. The
Troy Wing also assures US that Mr. Greely wrote
such letter, and that he spoke the truth. we
might name other wing papers if necessary
Now, if all these wing papers have lied, then we
have been deceived like many good, honest peo-
pie frequently are by a"whig lie The wing
papers should stick more to the truth. and they
would have less trouble in contradicting their
own fnlsehoods. II the Republican knows that
Mr.. Greedy did not say that Cen Scott was "a
ram corcoo,b,' DC, then, why does it not assail
the above wing papers instead of mounting US
We are not responsible for their editorials Our
ncighbors might AZ well abuse us for republi-hing
the following which we find in the New York
Day book, an influential wing paper as Tor re.
printing the extracts we made from wing papers

Here Mr., Greedy is put on the other side Of
the house, and if the Republican prefers him ia
the light in which its wing brother Of the Dd,
Book has placed him, it is welcome to keep
him there, it is nothing TO US; or it may call this
too a Wing lic-just us it pleases. The Do,
