"A ISLANDER AND A FALSEHooD.-
David Dudley Field, who did more

peaceful settlement of the Difficult.
ties between the North and the
South, before the late civil war
publicly stated last week in Man
chester that the only thing the
Shareholders asked was to extend
the slave line to TIE Pacific. We

dressed by James Stephens. 1t was
understood to be- his last speech
previous to departing for Ireland,
where he said he would strike a
