FALSEHOOD EXPOSED.


the baseness of the abolition party of New York and her
aiders and abetto have gone far affect the reputation
and well-being of that great city Apart from the ac
that the newspapers Of New York city have almost WIN
out exception identified themselves with the worst Adolf
ton elements of the free States and have become the mere
echoes of New England treason, are daily reminded o
their disposition fabricate and to circulate te mos
rredeemable and atrocious falsehoods There Is no lie
too coarse and libellous not to hnd convenient
corner in their columns and if it should happen to DC
an attack upon General Pierce or his administration
truth is almost the last ingredient that will be required
Let the accusation assail female reputation let it as
perse the character of pure and rreproachabe intellect
let it defiance all the rules and limits of discussion and
of controversy much the welcome will II be 10
the editors and controllers of the New York daily press
To invent caumny, fabrcate faschood, and to give
this fasehood temporary existence indeed prerequ
sites to the favor of the New York editors They have
deal of power too in this simple fact for they print false
hoods knowing them be such and they contradict
them after they hare been rebuked and repudaed To do JUS
tice anybody far beyond their province To apologize
for explain calumny is beyond their philosophy
They seek simply wound and to poison and they dis
card both the surgeon and the antidoe Indeed While
they caumnate the democratic party they would regard
nothing half infamous foreign to their nature
an attempt do justice to any whom they had as
sailed
Some weeks ago statement appeared in the Paris cor
respondence OF the New York Tribune charging Mr. Bel
mont the American minister at the Hague, with having
opened banking house at the Hague, in which he en-
ployed three clerks and conducted general brokers bus
ness the disgrace of country and the shame of all
Americans who called upon to visit the Old World
There details in this statement which render
ed it most annoying the friends of Mr. Belmont and
senced many who might have been disposed to denounce
it. We publicly and unhesatingy repudiated it as
SANDER and so it proves to be- The Tribune
it was true that accompanied and endorsed the state
ment with strong and offensive editorials nauseouS
compound of grossness and personality. Mr.. Belmont
was assaied with every epithet that could be in
vented or conceived Of The dead and buried scan
das against his reputation in 1859 reproduced
and all the shameless and revolving caumnies that
were heaped upon him when he appointed in
1853 were revived and reailed When TO these charges
could be added that which dsposing Of it may
readily be conceived what saturnaa of Joy it furnished
for the assaans of the administration Of Gen. Pierce The
New York Herald speedily caught it up and sent it over
the land and many who were disposed to discard it
tento to particulars and to circumstances which marked
this most atrocious fabrication.
And so far from this accusation being true the ry
The fact In all its essentials and non-essenals it
is monstrous falsehood! Mr. Belmont keeps no bank
ng-house the Hague He has but person employed
in the American legation, and to this person he pays
of his salary 1000 year, to act his secretary.
No one writes for sIr. Belmont, in out of his
Office but this gentleman. He has Iot had letter
about business from the Rothsohlds since lie has been
abroad-a his business being conducted by his agents
in New York. who nave full powers to act for him.
He receives his money from New York and from Washing
ton through the Brngs and he deposes this money With
the agents of the Barings the Hague paying them the
regular DER centage Since he has been the Hague Mr.
Belmont has no, transacted dollars worth of his
business The whole aeeuaation is not only without TRUTH
or olor of truth, but without probability
1t almost impossible to credit the statement that in the
face of a these strong facts entirely false wicked and
utterly improbable statement should have printed
the New York papers the truth Thus to such
is this appetite for caumny carried that Bennett of
the New York Herald IN Paris, assured American
gentleman not long ago that he intended to charge and
prove that Mr. Belmont had negotiated the last Russian
loan He could readily prove that Mr. Belmont had
robbed the Bank of England
We stated some weeks ago that Mr. Belmont inno-
cent of the charges in the Tribune that results would
show that right ia ceyng SO; but that after his
innocence proved neither the New York Tribune nor
the other whg papers in which this most infoaa Fccusa
oa wes copied would have the manness correct IL.
Let us see nov how far were right in this.
Without going out Of the way speak of Mr.. Belmont
feel that it is thar Just to him to declare that
he has made dignifed efficient and entirely unexcep
onable representative of country in the Old World
His dispatches display great ability and sagacy and
" hen they be published those who have been
bnsy and bitter in his abuse will be glad to do him the
Justice wt,cc they cannot withhold Fouy and shame
fully has he irsduced But his enemies have been
kind to him. They hive seeea occasions and topics upon
which to attack him, from which he has been enabled
rnmphanty upon them with infinite ana
overwhelming effect.
Will the unscrupuos libellers Of Mr. Belmont do him
the Justice of confessng the gross outrage they have
erppetrated upon him
