A Lie Well Stuck to. &c.

"There are none so blind as those VIII

the Cincinnati press over and over again
We were at the convention, knew person

sat facing them and within ten feet O
them during the convention. and know
that Herbert was on no committe, wa

The above is from the Cleveland PLdil
Dealer, a sort ofrotten egg paper SOM
European traveller relates that in one o
the towns of France, while passing
through one of its streets, thu. in The
distance of one rod he smelt seventeen
different, seperate and distinct stinks
Just what hat street was to his physical
senses, the Plain Dealer is to the mora
sense of its readers; for it will require
very little exertion to find seventeen diff
ferent, separate, and distinct falsehoods
in almost any column of its political
matter.
That the Plain Dealer should endeavoi
to get rid of the ugly fact that the mur
derer Herbert was at the Cincinnati con
vention, was n Of the delegates, was
one of those who voted for the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan, is not at all sur
prising, but the fact will stick for all that.
Mr.. Bowles, of the Springfield Mass
Republican was a faithful reporter of the
proceedings of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and says:
"Mr. Herbert, of California, who kill
ed Mr.. Heating, the Irish hotel waiter,
was at Cincinnati, and in the Convention,
as a delegate from California. 1 saw
him several times, once occupying a
prominent position on the platform
And the demand of Thomas Darcy
MCGEE, in behalf of the Irish Democra-
cy &c the country, that he be expelled
from the Convention, vas treated with
contempt, and was not laid before the
body by its officers"
We recollect also, that the Cleveland
Herald asked the Dealer the following
pertinent question, (which it can put in
to its pipe and smOke.)
VIII the Dealer also deny hat Her
bert was in the House, and voted with
the Democrats to defeat the Free State
Kansas bill when the vote stood LOG 10
1O7 p Cleveland Herald.
The following from the Cincinnati Ga
sette, throws still more light on this sub
ject.
The organs of the Border Bufian
Democracy, are very anxious to thrust
Herbert, the Irishwaiter killer, upon the
Know othings. They attempt to do
this in the face Of the fact that he was
present at the Cincinnati Convention, sat
with the California Delegation. and par
ticipsted in its proceedings. If Herbert
was not a Delegate, how did it come
that Thomas darcy MCGEE addressed
a letter to the Convention, protesting
against his admission as a delegate ? In
the Wing almanac for 1856, we find
Herbert and Denver, classed as Anti
Broderick Democrats against Bowie and
Benham formerly Of this city, ran as
Wings, and were beaten by 1852 and
1851 respectively. Two of the Brode-
rick Democrats only received 10000
votes each, and the third 1873. 1t
follows, Of course, from this statement,
either that Denver and Herbert are reg
uIar Democrats" or that the Admins
ton party in California, is a miserable
faction, polling only 10000 votes out of
7O,O00 and hat Buchanan has not the
slightest chance of carrying that State.
This Herbert matter has opened the
eyes of many Irishmen in this county,
and the Plain Dealers article upon the
hair-lipped Germans has done the same
thing with them. The Dealer has our
thanks for The last named.
