Getting to Work.-The various clubs to

They bid fair to work, one and all, in perfect
harmony, and to cooperate to the very great
advantage Of the cause they all have at heart
The Federal Metropolis is necessarily the
point from whence nearly all the political
documents for gratuitous circulation are sent
over the country. They have to be folded,

A Singular Misrepresentation of Facts
In the address by the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce to the people of the United States,
signed by Mr.. Gladstone, brother of the cele-
brated member of Parliament of/that name,
there is very singular instance Of the pains
which have been taken in England to conceal
and suppress the true facts in regard to Mr.
Champion. All the correspondence shows
that Mr.. Champion by his own numerous de-
clarati9ns and letters, commenced recruiting
in the United States on the 4th Of February,
1855, and continued without intermission un-
til the 5th of August; and yet Mr.. Gladstone
assumes, and distinctly asserts, that the order
to recruit was countermanded as soon as it
was given, and that not man was recruited
in the United States!
Observation-Disclosures hundred and sixty
out of the one hundred and ninety seven who
voted for Fillmore and Donelson in the recent
Know Nothing State Convention at Worces-

By juggleIy the Fremont party managed to
coax their opponents into admitting more than
hundred volunteer and bogus delegates, by
the aid of whose votes they subsequently man
aged to give the convention the semblance of
Fremont and Dayton affair. These facts
give rise to the secession. Among the Sc
ceders were two of the vice presidents and one
Of the secretaries.
