WHAT BECoMEs OF THE WINE?

WHAT BECOMES OF THE WINE?
The English Locofoco journals, from
the Washington UNroN down, are seeking
BY every means, BY fa'sehood, misrepre-
sentation. aud exaggeration, to injure the
reputation of the great WASHINGTON. A
more systemasic course Of detraclion wa,
never attempted. Day after day, and
week after week, these foul sheets pour
on, whole columns Of falsehoods and mis-
representations, without the least regard
to truth or deconcy, or anything else, save
the grand object Of destroying WAsnIse
Tox's popularity with the American people,
They never correct a misstatement nor
give publicity to any fact concerning the
great man, which does not in some wa.
answer their purpose.
We beg ten thousand psrdons, we we're
writing with the Temperance Banner
which hangs upon the outer wall-before
US, and have spoilt the best pen we had in
forming bad words before we discovered
our error. However well not take il
back, as We see such bright redeemine
feature in the three emphasized words
which we 6od upon close inspection to DIFF
fer from the originsl--tba, we feel quite
sure il will pass.
kossulh coma up here and let US hear
you talk upon the subject. We know you
weigh every word you say, that though
sometimes YOU may get into snarl by no,
exactly understanding the American char
sc,er and have 10 modify your opinions,
yet We know you generally write down
and weigh well though, before u,tering
il. Now spesk out and let us know wha,
becomes Of The money raised for your sui
fering cause.
KossUTH to The Pitisburgers:-
eYou know my wishes when Tell you, that
already one hundred and sixty thousand dollars
have been raised in this country for the Hungsri-
an fund, and that about thirty Thousand have
been realized for my suffering cause. The res,
has been eaten, drank and toasted out in costly
banquets and foolish parades, for which have
no taste and in which Itake no pleasure. lhase
contrac,edf for 10000 nuskets, at 50 eaeh-S80,
600; have made one payment, aud have gol
others to make, or lose what has been paid. If
all The money raised could have been properly
expended my mission would, ere this, have been
ended, and the basis Of my coun;ry's Liberty Sc
eured.'
One hundred and thirty thousan nd dollars
for Teasing and thirty thousand for TDo
Dollar muskets! Western men accustom
cd to the rife will smile at the Two Dollar
muskets and say better have drank up the
thirty thousand dollars, but no matter; no
sane man would assert that Kossuth and
bis suite Of twenty men could consume so
much, even in four dollar uine; what then
becomes Of il?
