E 1t is instructive to note the reckless absurdities
into which the Know-Nothng press bndly rush, in
order to traducc the character of James Buchanan,
and drive rational men from his support Some of
these journals asserting that Mr.. Buchanan
caused Gen. Jackson to bring the famous charge of
bribery, intrigue and corruption against Mr.. Clay
in 1924, by statements made by him to Gen. Jackson,
and then when called to substanae his statements
backed out, after having involved Gen. Jackson in the
difficulty honoraby acquitting Mr.. Clay, and left
Gen. jackson in the urch. This charge is made to
drive old Jackson democrats from his support. Of
the class of journals that make it is the Austin Times
On the other hand, the Louisville Journal with its
recklessncss and disregard of TRUTH
charges, and the whole whig -know-nohng press with
their accustomed scryility echo the charge, that Mr.
Buchanan originated, fabricated and promulgated
the atrocious SANDER upon Mr. Clay, and thus pre-
vented him from being President of the United States
This charge is designed to drive old line wings from
the support of Mr.. Buchanan.
Both charges are utterly destitute of foundation,
and are made in total ignorance or wfu misrcpresen-
tation of the trath of history The whole history of
the transaction is placed in clear light in article
in to-days paper. and the atrocous caumny made to
recoil upon the heads of its guilty authors Let every
body read it and be convinced

BARNuM IN TRoUBLE.-The public are interested
in knowing all the truth of the alleged failure Of
the Jerome Clock Company in Connecticut and
Involvement of Mr. P. T. Barnum.-Mr. B. has
enjoyed the reputation of the possession Of
great wealth for years and has also been esteemed
shrewd business man. The manner in which the al
legged failure is said to have occurred namely, by leav
ing his name attached in blank to various liabilities,
has done much to weaken confidence in his business
qualifications. The Hartford Courant publishes
statement of the assets and liabilities OF the CLOCK
Company. The former is set down at $477 ,l5s,
according to Mr.. Jerome's valuation, which is re-
duced, however, by amount Of deductions on various
items, and by mortgage coaterals, 1920, l44 Inc
amount Of debts is $555,S43 $l50,O0O OF which
mortgage debt to Barnum.
Barnum says he is endorser for $4,000, ana
as We are informed by the Courant proposes 70
give SlOO,O 900 to be released from his endorsements
and accepances and the creditors propose to release
him if he will relinquish all his mortgage and pay
Sl5O,000. The creditors propose to make nes
company, with capital of $250,O00, made up OF
the paper OF the old company. There is iarse
amount of material which is of little value exeep'
to be worked up into clocks and it is said that there
is large demand, and the business, with econ
omy, can be made good. 1t s believed, by those
who say they know that if this proposition is car
ried out all will get their pay The Jerome oom.
pany has some ten or fifteen agencies in dlleren'
parts of the world, which is the cause OF their ia
ure" The Courant states that there had been soine
other failures at Bristol, growing out of the jerome
suspension.
