Iran, one doubts what we say, let them -

the malicious slandercrs in Maine and New
Hampshire. What We say we stand ready
to more. II the Free Press has mroor7iiy
been guilty Of publishing to the world this
''yilc chapter Of ISLANDERS" because 1t aP-
pcarcd in the New Hampshire Patriot, 1t
will now as an act Of justice as well as fair
dealing, make the proper correction, IL
ought to know that such papers as now sup
port Pierccss Administration in New Iiamp-
shire are too poor authority to be relied up
pom when unsupported by other proof. We
shall wait and see whether Smart is willing
to set itself right in tsis matter, and make
the amendc honorable to those it has libcled
and .landcrcd by the publication Of this in.
famous tissue of shameless falsghoods.
