ANOTHER STRING OF sLlEyEGAM-
MON RODlNSON'S LIES NAILED.

S,ieyegammon Robinson, in his lying
speech on the Catholic test, laid down
number of propositions, and said he would
depos, 500. TO be forfeited II any one
would show that he miss,ated the facts IN
onv one of them. Among these assertions
was this-that Gov. Benjamin Pierce vo.
ted TO nut the ami Catholic test into the
Constitution. He also declared that there
was no such test in the Constitution prevl.
ous 10 1899, when the presen, Cons'tu-
,ion was formed. Now all this is totally
false. The test was in the Constitution
previous TO that time, IN the 'denhcaI
,rorAs. as it now stands; and as Governor
Pierce had no hand in making the ola
stjtu,ion. of course the statement that
he voted TO put the test in, is false. An
other of Robinson's statements is, that II
was known throughout this State that the
amendment abolshng the tes, was defeat
ed BY an overwhelming vote some elgh
or ten weeks before last June. IhiS. 100
is fa7se No one had returns OF the vote:
from one.half of the towns, and no one
knew which way the vote was, until the
official returns were opened and counted
in June. Another OF Robinson's state
ments is, III at the resolution abollshng th'
test in the Constitutional Convention, wa
drawn up and brought forward by Parker
of Nashau, whig, on the 18th OF Novem
her. He intends to convey the impression
,ha, Parker was the originator OF the pro
position. This statement IS JalSe. I'M

A WIlIG CIRCULAR,

fraud was intended for, it is difficult 10 de-

stock, which certainly needs il bad enough.
One ofthese documents recently found its

THECANyAss OF FRAUDS.

The wings Of New York, says the New
Haven Register, have got out counter
felt "Slievegammon" life of Frank Pierce, ,;
purporting to be genuine, in which ai'
kinds of fextravagant and ridiculous stories
aro told about him. This is another spe-
cies of whis electioneerng, and shows
how desperate the action Of the wing party
has become. The Republic will doubt
less be ready to cry out that this is only
another "hoax''-whch, being interpreted
by the standard dictionaries. means an
other "fraud," another "cheat," another
..lalse pretence." 1t is to be hoped, how.
ever, that in this case no congressional
signatures have been either really append
ed or forged. In respect TO franks, we
suppose they will be forthcoming somehow
either forged or genuine.
This mode of whig canvassing must OF
itself insure the election Of General Pierce.

dignity of the people on the part OF the
Wig managers, and, as such, the people
will regard and resen, it. lt.results from

OUR, CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

By reference to the proceedings OF the
Congressional Convention, in to-day's pa.
per. It will be seen that Col. VIM. G. WAL
TON, of this place, was nominated, on the
second ballot, as the Democratic candi.
date for Congress in this District This
will be gratifying news to his numerous
friends in the District, and especially in this
county. Without any disparagement to
his worthy competitors, we believe we can
safely say that no nomination that could
have been made by the Convention would
have been more acceptable 10 the people
generally. OF his triumphant election,
should the Almighty Disposer OF human
events spare his life, there is not the least
doubt.
One Of the most active politicians Of No.
bic county expressed j. as his conviction
that Col. Walton would receive 1000 ma.
