WENDELL, the Covode witness, is brought
face to face with the following card Of his
own, published in December 1853.
The following card from Cornelius Wen
dell appeared in the Washington Union on
the 18th of December, 1858:
"A CARD.-My attention has been called
to paragraph in letter to the New York
Times, of the 9th inst, in vague and gener-
al terms, that the President had caused GER
tain money, Justly due to some individual,
to be used for electioneering With
this accusation my own name has been so
generally used in conversation, that feel
constrained, publicly and emphatically, to
deny all knowledge or belief of any fact
which can warrant it, and to declare that
President Buchanan never did authorize, adj
wise or request me, directly or indirectly, to
use either my own money or that of any other
person for any purpose like that mentioned
in the paragraph referred to, or in any man
ner efecting any public election.

We have received from the American pub
Usher, 4. NJ Dewitt, Of New York, a little
volume Of IA pages, with the following title:
''The Facts; or, at whose door does the sin
lie? Who profits by Slave Labor? Whoini-
tiated the Slave Trade? What have the
Philanthropists done? These questions an
swered, by George Train" It's not often that
me have seen in the same compass such an
interesting array of facts and logic, bearing
upon the Slavery question, as are contained
in this production. 1t is worth the study of
every mind that is solicitous of information
as to the origin, nature and influences of the
institution about which 50 vehement a con-
troversy is now agitating the two countries.
The author, Mr.. Train, is Massachusetts
man.

that the paper established had not proved
