STOP LYING!
From the Chicago Tribune.

The election is over, and the Republi.
cans successful; but the misrepresen-
tations 10 which our opponents indulge
are still kept u2. l view Of the excited
state Of the public mind, aud the danger
of an embodiment of the North with a
half dozen Of the Cotton States, we
respectfully suggest to the SO, called Dem
ocra,tc papers Of the North that they nov
stop their lying. Unless they mean, with
Mr.. Yancey and the politicians Of his
school To "precipitate the Cotton States
into revolution" let them not only stop
lying, but go honestly to work, aad, it
possible, undo the effect of the lies told
in such abundance while the contest was
yet undecided. We point out few of
ones that have Fad the most pernicious
effect

ist-the contrere of Garrison, Phillips
& Co., Of the radical Boston. This is so
baseless that it ought never to have been
credited for momert; but glaring as
it may seem to men in the North who
know Mr.. Lincoln's position on tho Slav-
| cry question, it is, thanks to the papers
OF which We speak, widely spread all over
the South, and is, unquestionably, the
cause Of much Of the bad blood in that
section, where, unhappily, Republican
journals, which would correct the mis-.
represe ntation, are not allowed to circu-
late. We see nothing to be made by con.
tinuing that lie; now will the Chicago
Times and Herahf commence the work of
reparation, by printing Mr.. Lincoln $
record, aud advising other pro.slavery
anc secession journals to do the same
thing -
H. That Mr. Hamlin is mulatto-
that, at least, h has large infusion of
negro blood in his veins. This is daily
repeated in the Southern papers and is
made the basis of intlammatory appeals
to the preiudces of race and caste, which
never fa, to meet with angry response
Will not the Southern journals that know
the faisehood of the assertion, put the
Southern people right on that point -
Mr. iiamlin eve saw him this morning
is good looking white man.
Ill That the Wide Awakes are a
semi military organization, ready at any
moment to put pixies instead Of torches
on their poles, aud march upon the South,
for the overthrow Of slavery and the sub
iucation of shareholders. No lie poiti.
cal which the canvass has brought out j.
SO generally believed as this Now who
of all the conductors of Southern Jour
mails will have the courage to tell the
truth about this matter--to say that the
Wide Awakes were peaceable aud patr,
otc young men with about as much
bloody intent as SD many Odd fellows or
Sons of Malta-that ninety of every
hundred companies are permanently dis
banded, that those rem mIin,rg will not
keep together fortnight, and that the
movement was temporary effort to give
eclat and spirit to campaign which has
been fought and ended.
". That the people Of the North
are burning with unquenchable hate of
the people Of the South, and await only
the occurrence Of a proper opportunity to
harrass, wrong and outrage all who have

both propos ;tions being proved by the
undeniable dislike Of Republicans to the
buying and selling of men. These are
mischicvous falseboods, which all pro-
slavery paper. in the North have aided
in circulating. Now, which one among
them will have the manliness and fairness
to say, that, while the Republicans do
abhor slovery, they pity rather than hate
those upon whom the maintainance Of the
system is imposed and that they look
upon it as a great existing fact, which
admits only of the wises, forbearauce ard
uuquestioned patriotism in its treatment:
that the overwhelming sentiment of the
Republican party is unfayorable to imme-
diate emancipation by any agency what
ever, az full Of danger to the superior and
inferior races alike; that Republicans
are willing to leave slavery to the States
where it is sanctioned BY law, and to the
moral sense aud awakened humanity Of
those who are cursed by it; that they
claim nothing but the arrest Of that poll
