On pefusihg last hiSht Inc lipehous ueePaeSh
in the Satanic" which we have copied in our
leader Of to-day, We solicited meeting Of the
Association this forenoon, and submitted the
matter TO their consideration. Their action In
the premises was prompt and honorable, giving
the lie direct TO the miserable and contemplate
insinuations Of the Geographic correspondent
| Of the Satanic" Polecat Press.
We simply add, that we applied TO be re-
lieved from our duties, solely on account Of
| ill-health We introduced and recommended
ton he was unanimously elected. All intima-
tons or insinuations Of any disagreement or
difference Of opinion between us and the stock
holders, are false.
We also say, that there is not to our knowl-
edge, single member of the American party
in this city, who does not hold the opinions
and conduct Of the Satanic in utter con-
tempt And, in conclusion, we say, that If any
member Of our party in this city favors the
nominee Of the Satanic" for the Presidency,
we do not know him, nor have we heard Of
him.
