recanation when the truth becomes known deliberately
fused We perceive that of Greeeys contemporaries
of the New York press calling him to account for his
last budget of unecaned and unrepened brications He
seems to have been prolific of lies that historical per-
sonage who kicked of very warm place for ms
inventions Those who have watched the of Gree
ley during session of Congress- need not be surprised at

political foes no matter how scandaous and untrue. And
what renders his case most unworthy is the fact that in
the midst Of his fabrcaons, no matter how atroclous ne
abounds professions of pey and in the rost energetic
efforts at all varieties of reform We can imagine HIM
leaving his Office after preparing columns of shameless mis-
representations and then appearing at temperance or
Bible abolition meeting where he exeels all Others

his latest falsehoods however obtain it from the
various New York papers.

II further stated BY the Tribune that this assertion
(Which have shown to be wholly false) explained by thu
