Evidences Of a Bad Exposure for the Scott
Leaders.
The denial of the whig leaders, whose names are al
ached to the circular representing them as democrats OPP
posed to Pierce and King is most tame and tardy way
to convince the public that they have been damaged
by this OF their names, and that the paper largely
circulated under their auspices is "hoax" Everything
tends 10 show that the affair got up by wing author
ity; and that those who endeavo to escape responsible
y which exposure has made troublesome. do so BY bad
management Mr. Stany, who denies it, is one OF the
promptes parssns Of the wings; but he permits num-
Der OF days to elap,e before be relieves himself OF
the odium incurred by the circular The circular itself
was printed in this journal more than week ago. but
it ELECTED no word Of contradiction from the usually

ached 10 it, and under whose frank it was circulated

cusaons OF the democrats and the apologies OF the wings

sgners not word though days have passed since the
fraud was first exposed. and an animated and acrmo.
NOUS debate has resulted from the exposure.
But the silent and mysterious of the whole crowd
OF repued sgners to this discrediable paper is Hon
Truman Smith, OF Connecticut He REFUSES TO DENY HIS
THIS Rad BUSINESS. Hear him in the de-
bate OF Saturday last contained in yesterdays Repub
lie and remember that these equvoca words forced
from him by the able and thorough in which his
conduct has been dsseced by Senators Douglas and Walk
er. Hear him
"As to the senator's surprise that he had given
nis 10 this BEFORE and had denied the mpust
which placed him. he would say that II he had
character enough to stand the assaults suspicious
mputationsmade upon him. without an express denial on
his part Son every such occasion,

And this is all Does the senator from Connecticut
see where this language resisessy leads him He is
the well known, constant and active manager OF the
whig committee room here. He superntends its print

the democracy To him come directed the heavy loads
OF whig pamphlets against Pierce and King from the
Office of the abolition oracle, the New York Tribune.
And he refuses 10 answer the question whether be issued
the fraud set forth nthe circular which represented him
as democrat who would not support Pierce and King.
His excuse is that his character be his best
He will make no other. This pretext places such
gentlemen as Hon. Messrs Mangum and Slanly in a
strange position They deny that they signed the cir
