SATURDAY MORNING. NOV. II.

Relative to what the TINE Wing says about our
having copied an article on the Baltimore elections
we remark that if il accuses US Of having attributed
70 The Baltimore Clipper any article which did not
apuear there, it accuses US falsely.-UItiOn and
American.
The Union and american can understand
the English language, and consequently knows
that we not only have not accused that paper
of attributing to the Baltimore Clipper an
article which did not appear there" but we
have not intimated such a thing. We think
we expressly stated that the Union and Amer
ican credited the article in question to the
Baltimore papers," That is immaterial, how
- ever.
But the Union and american evades the
poiut. The facts are these: An article APP
peared in the Baltimore Clipper fastening the
responsibility of a riot in that city where it
properly belonged-with the anti-American,
Sag NIGHT DULLES. An extract from that arti-
Gle was published in the Union and american
so altered as to make it say directly the oppO-
site of what it originally said-by substituting
the term designating the American party in
place of the opposite, the entire meaning of
the original was transposed. That this article
originally did appear in the Clipper as we have
stated, we are prepared TO prove. That it APP
reared in the Union and american changed as
we have stated, that paper does not deny.
The Union and american is thus convicted Of
having uttered counterfeit; if it came hon.
estly and innocently by that counterfeit, why
don't it show it, and make the anlende h0noTa-
bic.
The Union and american says:
We state what we know when say that the
writer for tie True Wing never saw the article,
about which he is writing, in the Baltimore Clipper.
Il NAV have been there, but he don't know it.
We know where and from whom ne got his lnior-
nation.
The Union and american may or may not
be little too fast in the first assertion-let the
sequel provide for that We have no doubt of
the last announcement in the above paragraph.
Our attention was called to this subject by
friend who handed us the Louisville Journal
containing the article from the Clipper at
length. duly credited. A political friend of the
Union and american was present at the time
and heard the conversation. The Union and
American, therefore, doubtless knows "where
and from whom be 1.-THE writer in the True
Whigl got his information"
The Union and american says it thinks it
can prove " that the True Wing positively
knew, when it published the first article on the
subject that the alteration was made by an
other than the Union and american. We
think our neighbor can prove no such thing.
We should like to see it tried. We assert I'M
equivocally that We did not kroO that the
alteration was not made by the Union and
Aplcrican-now let us have the proof that we
did. We may add that we do not knOD yet,
that the alteration was not made by the Union
and American-we only have the naked asser-
ton of the editor that he did not do it. That
editor has heretofore intimated very dis
t;nctly that he placed no confidence in our as
sertion, and though we dislike to be dscourte-
Gus, we take pleasure, under the circumstances,
in returning the compliment Besides, that
paper has a very convenient appendage which
We are unfortunately without-an irresponsi-
bic editor, upon whose Atlas shoulders it can
shift disagreeable records. 1t has done this
heretofore
