How it was Done.

By the most persistent and hagrant lying

audacious, barefaced and enormous De
Bows Review, which supplies the cream of
Southern literature, quarterly of really

could not but be perfectly aware of its utter
absurdity and unmitigated falsity:

date of his inauguration, has not been sober
for day and that he is frequently, and
for days together, in state of beastly in
