The Gazette, in its issue Of yesterday, ex-
hibits, even for it, q very marked disregard
OF truth, in it's announcement Of Cloutman's
nomination, and makes two statements that
are entirely without foundation in truth. The
FIRST falsehood is the assertion that Clont-
man was Inst spring the object of abuse and
detraction -and the second that his known
sostilisy to the K. N.'s brought upon him
the malice Of that party and thereby defeat
ed his election. That veracious paper says:
"Tbey reported that he joined the ordrr-a
report that we can assure our readers is entire
ly without foundatton--and this procured his
defeat"
We have simply to say to the Gazette that
Mr.. Clouiman has never been slandered or
abused in single instance through news
paper, unless its own fulsome articles last
Spring are considered libellous and abusive.
We never heard him slandered or abused.
There was no call for it, no use in it. His
case was much better managed, by simple
truth and candor. twas never considered
matter of consequence whether Cloutman
was or had been q X. N. He was not man
to fill a very large space, and hie doings
were not likely to agitate the public mind to
any great extent.
As this statement of the Gazette is appar-
emily made by authority, we are authorized
to say-First That Mr.. Cloutman was initia-
ted into the order known as Know Nothings
in October or November last, at his own re-
quest, and upon his own assertion that he
had been to Boston-had friends there who
were K. N.'s--that he had learned all about
the order and wanted to join. Second,
That Cloutman is still member Of this or
der, as he never paid his initiation fee, and
his resignation was therefore. not accepted.
If any further lights wanted on this head
| the parties interested can have it. Persons,
places, names and dates, we are authorized
to say will. be forthcoming. But all the eff
forts of the Gazette can meyer get up any
sympathy for Clou.man. He never has been
prosecuted or Morganized and never will be.
Nobody cares whether he is q Know Nothing
or Sag Nicht, or both, or simply a tool.
