absurd, silly, unconscionable lying, the
Times Of this city bears the palm. It
matters not how often it is detected in
iss falsehoois, and nov and then forced
70 retraet them, it still continues the
even tenor Of its way, only rebuilding It's
diligeheein promuIgating and enlArg
ing them.
1t has been adopted as a Democratic
rale Of policy, in earring on the present
campaign, TO .iaim every prominent
officer IN the army IS for Mcclellan. In
carrying out this policy, the Times has
gone to such ridiculous extremes, as TO
disgust It's own partisans, and altogether
destroy their confidence in It's reliability
For instance, the Times asserted, and
has never taken it back, that fighting
Joe Hooker wou4 vote for Mcclellan.
At the same time Gen. Hooker was max
ing speeches before the Union Leagues
Of New York against Mcclellan. In e
recent address before the Union
League Club Of New York City" be
made use Of the following language:
General Hooker, il reply, observed
that the Loyal Leagues were not swaFe
Of the service they had rendered the
army. They had formed good reserve,
! and for this the army felt strong in front
The lighting is nov nearly closed. There
will be 8 few spasmodie plunges, but
they are the natural manifestation Of
diving. The Government has been slow;
| the people have been fast, and have led
| the Administration; bus the latter has
come along, and, on the whole, done
| tolerably well. II is absurd to suppose
the soldiers can vote other than one way
They will vote rs they have fought, 10
pot down the rebellion. We have
not only fought the rebellion, bat
| England She has furnished the
rebels with ell their arms and
clothing. and for these she bolds a mort
gage on the whole South. don't think
she will undertake 20 foreclose il Gen.
Hooker further remarked that be had at
no time felt any doubt Of shs success Of
the war for the uaion. There bad been
mistakes and mismanagement IN iis
conduct, yet the Union arms had made
steady progress, so that each rear bad
seen the area Of the rebellion narrowed
aud It's relative power materially weak.
ened. lie confidently believed that we
were now very near the end--nearer
than most Of Us believed. Bu be would
have no overtares made TO the rebel
chiefs, at the proper time they would
signify their readiness to give itup. The
time TO begin negotiating was when We
had flushed the hgAting.
It's folly 10 talk Of i till ws have
whipped Qua our easmies and swepi
away the cause ef the rebellion Tie
Constitution masssbe Interpreted in &c
eordahee with the principles Of human
~, nor can We have permaasat peace
until we do so. We must not make .
peace in such way that another val
will break out again within ten years.
We have been generous enough 10 ouI
enemies--even 10 y fanlt-~and they IN
vAriably construed our lenity into weak
ness.
Yesterdays Times asserted with greal
positiyensss that Brigadier Genera
Herman was one Of the speakers at the
great Mcclellan ratification meeting il
Cincinnati OF course this was as faIs'
as its statements about Gen Hooker. fol
on Tuesday evening last General kisr
nan addressed mass meeting Of Ger
mzas in Findlay Street Market space
Cincinnati, in company With Hons
; Fred. Hassanrak and Fred. ober.
kline. Gen. Herman spoke Tor half Al
hour and the report ofhis speech appenres
in the Cincinnati papers Of WEDNESDAY
which reached here the night before th'
Times made It's announcement that thl
General was for Mcclellan. This prove
thai itiae nmess falsehood vas wilfuI aui
not an error Of information.
10 commenting on the two platform
and tickets Of the great parties con
tending fo- the administration Of til
Government, General Herman ased th,
following language:
Two gentlemen with principles a
wide apart as those Of Gen. Mcclellan
aud George II. Pendleton, could neve
be united on q fair and honest platform
and while he the spsaker) bad been
Democrat all his life, be could not Civ,
bis support to party whose standar'
bearers were so wide apart in thei
) views General Herman stated that b.
had been wounded on the field OF battle
, in defense Of the stars and stripes, AM
that be could not stulsify his action
there, by giving bis support to part
J whose whole platform was based upol
peace upon any terms" The gentle
men nominated at Baltimore present
! uniformity Of principle, and no division
, Of sentiment They are both giving thel
every effort for the suppression Of th
rebellion, Aad that they would have n
: peace until the rebels voluntarily lai
down their arms, and avowed themselve
TO conform to the laws OF the Unite
States. he had, after deliberate though
| decided to withdraw from the Demo
cratic party, and should hereafter Civ
1 his unreserved support to the people
candidates, Messrs Lincoln and Johi
son.
$ Bat the Times will continue to repes
: its falsehoods with as much vigor q
ever In yesterdays issue it claim
Gems. Roseerans and Sherman for Nj
Clsllan, both of whom nOsoriOusly SUI
port the Administration.

erammed down It's throat to choke /
bat it swallows them in one form, on
