TRfUMpHANTLY EXPOSED.

We are quite certain this, We do not
exaeeeate. wheu ve assert that The last
issae ol the ngge-hslf orgon in this place
contained o. greater number of me1a and
daty htsbogh and ut0py0ca'aioas th'n
were ever before embraced in the same
spacC
We propose taking them up Ia their
regular order five fail, ps are perfectly
willing to suffer that degree Of public
odium which should be visited upon our
ootemporary, if wo are successful for wc
bold thst a public journalist who will
deliberately and systematically deceive his
readers by ,nircprcssHtHg notorious facts,
merits the contempt Of every honest
citizen.
LIE NO. ],
Found in the first column on the first
page, in an article Of l3 lines, wherein "it
is said " says the Journal, that tive Of the
new rebel iron clad gun boats, "are
named the Copperhead and the Taaonaiy-
ham,. The article is stolen from some
other paper, but it appears without credit,
and the Journal ia therefore responsible.
LIE NO, .,
Is found in the next column, wherein
the following is given as an extract from
Judge Woodward's speech in lndepen-
dence Square, Philadelphia, in December
lS6O
"We hear it said, let the South go
peaoeably. | say, let her 60 peaceably.'
Hero is the sentence in full:
e" We hear it said, let the South 90
.peOceably, say, let the South 20 peace
ably, i she 90 at aR"
This is like tho iufGel undertaking to
prove that the Bible says there is no
God" by omilting the first seyeH words
in the well knowp scriptural quotation,
" The fool hath said in his heart there is no
God"
But even if Judge Woodward had
uttered the sentiment as falsely attributed
to him, why should the journal find fault {?
In its issue of Nov IA, 1860, the Journal
lacaling from the Irib,me) said, in speaking
of the threatened Secession of the South
ern States, just as Judge Woodward was,
and near about the same time, said,
LET THEM GO IN PEACE. 1t is not
necessary to create any disturbance about
it, to raise CIVIL WAR, or SHED
FRATERNAL BLOOD. The right to
secede may be revolutionary one, BUT
TT EXISTS NEVERTHELESS" elf
any considerable section shall deliberately
resolve to 60 out, WE FOR ONE SHALL
NOT COUNCIL ANY cOERClVE MEAS
! URES TO PREVENT IT"
1t is thus seen that by garbling Judge
WooDwARD's language they Put their words
into his mouth, and for that condemn
him as disloyal
