.cI,,,.d from I'm Exchange"

On Monday last we caileu atOehVlon ~
the fact that the IntelHgenoer had mis-
represented the vote of Democratic Con
gressmen on the second of the Smith
resolutions of December IL, 1868 Inc
point we attempted to make was that
the Intelligencer had stated what avas not
fact. Any man can see that the Undo
ing of Democratic record" was neither
part nor purpose of our article, its object
being to expose a palpable perversion OF
facts. How such a perversion can be
extenuated by the IntelligenCer's defence
we are unable to see. The Democrats
may have opposed the fret of the Smith
resolutions, but that does not vindicate
the Intelligencsr's correctness in asserting
that they voted against the second,
which was widely different in charac-
ter and object. The question at
issue being strictly one of veracity,
the Intelligencer should not describe its
untruth as special mis.quetation." If
it meant to say that the "mis quotation
was made for the special" purpose Of
deception, one might admit the pro-
priety of the description and even agree
that it answers the end admirably. But if
this phrase is intended to convey the idea
that the Intelligencer's Interpretations"
are unusual and accidental, we shall
certainly demur to any such plea. The
truth is, that its "mis,qu,tations" are far
more general than special" and rather
usual than rare, The introduction of
another paper Us its authority ia, by no
means, the first attempt of the Quincy
street journal to shift the responsibility
of it's faults upon other people and other
sheets. The Intelligencer's friends" and
exchanges" seem to have far more to do
with the management of that paper than
its own editors. Such phrases as fur
pishsd by a friend" and Clipped
from an exchange" seem to 20 its stereo
typed appliances for avoiding the con
sequences of unfortunate and damaging
articles We would suggest the proprio
ty of adopting special signal so thai
the public may know whenever it haz
ards 81 assertion or an argument on lis
own responsibility. The letters 'Agt'
may not be inappropriate when the edi-
torial business is done for the benefit or
on the account of some unknown and
silent party, and from their absence we
can infer that the firm is running the
machine on its own hook. Some such
device az this is positively essential to
the IRtelligencer's comfort and we'll BE-
ing.

in this city yesterday to appoint dele
gates to the National Union Convention
at Philadelphia. The attendance was
not as large as we could have wiSheu'
yet as gentlemen were present from al
most all the counties in the District the
general sentiment was, no doubt well
represented. 1t win be seen that the
ao,ointees are all able and earnest men;

can question, and whose selection VIII
reflect credit upon the State when tney
will represent. We feel certain tnA'
their appointment will give universal
satisfaction.
