will contend that Mr.. Window was
conducting aright.of way negotiation
with this eccentric fallen angel.
But we propose to submit Mr.. Win
dom's reputation for veracity to a
more severe test than this. 1t will be
recoIlected that few weeks since,
we charged that he joined Know
Nothing lod ge, and assumed the obi.
cations of a member of that order at
Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio,
in 1854, and that he was sent az q
delegate to the Grand Council of the
State of Ohio, in the same year-thus
showing that he not only joined, but
actively partici pated in the proceed
ings of the dark lantern order. We
produced proof:--irrrcfutable proof
to sustain our statements. But Mr..
Window, conscientious and zeal
GUS church member as he claims to
be, has denounced on the stump, the
proofs as forgeries, and the statements
made in this journal, az falsehoods.-
In a letter to the Times editor, Mr..
Window says:
DEAR S1R.---I have Just learned that
the PIONEER has loug article in re.
lation to Know Nothing,sm, in which
with great deal Of parade, the editor
charges me with being a member OF
the order.
1 PRONOUNCE THE WHOLE
CHARGE AN UNMITlGATED
LIE.
l understand Cavanangh claims
that he has certain publications made
by authority. If this is true, he has
discovered kind Of Know Nothing.
