-B+oleFiek's HeniaIs lie with such aadacity and
rapidty that il keeps busy correcting their mis-
stat .mcnts. No sooner do we prove the falsiiy o.
one than they are ready with dozen new ONES
Last week they published unblushing falschOod,
with regard to the proceedings Of the Democratic
Central Committee, which We proved unqualitcdly
false By gentlemen Of the highest responsibility, Of
unquestionablc veracity and inAexible Democracy.
This week they rcieratc the fatSrho0d, slightly mod
ifcd with additional misreprc scntn;ions. To- show
the Dem0crac: the nIpudencc and baScnesS"f thc' e
hirelings, quote part Of their article. Hall says,
and when article is known to be the git OF Halb
an antid"tc accompanies the banc:
Por Ourselves have only say despite the assertion

Knowing Col. J. c. Johnson to be gentleman Of
"rrcprnachabIc veracily," and that the above con
tanned not one word of truth, far it relates to
the proceedings Of the Central Committee, as soon
az We read it we wrote brief note to Col Johnson,
requesting him to correct it. lie chccrfully and
promptly sent us the following, which proves that
Hall not only msrrprescnted him but wilfully ut
tered what be knew to be false
JoHNsoN's RANCH, July sth. 1858.
HEAR Dan: l am just in receipt Of the 7ri. Htti
w Kgister of this date, in which um made 10 say
that "Col Xix" and myself were badly treated in
not having resolutions entertained by the Dem.
Ocratic Central Committee. The truth is, Sir, that
nrIher ~ uGprestmhd 0yfor the acrOn Of said Com
mittcc did say, in conversation with Judge Hall.
{ rat Mr.. Hix had u resolution written and spoke oi
presenting it, opposed to what is now called the
{" " er teN, but that he dill mt PGtthe ytSolntim
htf;re Me lommitte for action told Judge Hall
that he had been misi.tormrd with regard to IlixS
presenting the resolution spoken Of; but that had
no doubt, from lIixs conversation, that it his
intention TO present it.
As To myself, that there be no need of misunder,
standing nc, I am and have been sincere admircr
of the political course Of Stephen 4. Douglas; and
at the sitting Of the Committee in conversation
with Mr.. Hoover in relation to the position Of that
gentleman ON the Kansas question; and said to him
were it not for widening the breach in the Democrat
ic ranks, that would offer resolution endorsing
Douglas, and that had mentioned the same to YOU.
and you thought it not best TO offer ii, you
did not think the Committee should take the respon.
sibilitv of raising question between Judge b. and
Mr.. Buchanan, as b0M lrtrf .iationdi Utmocrdts.
did mt. therefore. in rat Oerwist, present any
such resolution as is attributed TO me.
Yours, J. c. JOHNSON.
y. W. GELwIcKs, Placervillc.
Hall says, and in this instance VIC agree with him.
that Col. johnson is gentleman of irrcproachublc
vcracity," and that Col J. informed him HALL that
Xix "dm 4ftr to introduce the resolution" Col. J.
says" did say, IN conversation with Judge Hall,
that he (Iiix) DID NOT put the resolution before
the Committee for action; "-tryo, Hall deliberately
lies. Hall says that Col J. "prorscd u verbal
oution, that the Democracy Of California still recog-
nize Stephen a. Douglas the true exponent of De-
mocracy." Col. johnson says DID NOT, in fact
or otherwise, present any such resolution us is at
tributrd to me-! Col. Johnsons letter settles the
question, and places Judge II. in no euviablc light
but it would not surprise us were he to repeat the
| talschood. Democrats Of FL Dorado. what conf
dcncc can you place in the statements Of u man
whose every assertion Is 6atly contradictcd by gen
tlemcn Of rrcproachablc vcraCity:"
