zone who Il hOyys How to Lie,

A very knorj"g Copper, over the sigma
ture Of "Onc Who Knows" vcntilates him
self in the Democr@ last Saturday, and with
the boldncss of Il confidence man charges
forgery upon the letters of Mr.. Owens and
Messrs. Orr and Curricr, of Perryvile,
which appeared in The wing of the previous
Saturday, exposing the unauthorized use of
their names by Comprehend party, on
published call for II johnson meeting. With
characteristic eilrontery this "One Who
hnomS" how to lie, but not to conceal it,
declares that Mr.. Owens disavows having
written the letter attributed to him, offering
to prove that he did not write it. We would
like to have that prooE. We have the orig
nal letter, and would like Mr.. Knows "
to send on his proQC Wepublish two other
letters in our issue Of to day, from Mr.. Hall
and Mr.. Watson, making the same com
plant that Mcssrs. Orr, Curricr and Owens
did. Not wishing to lie under the reproach
of atiiliating with rebels and copperheads by
having such vile use made Of their names,
they take this method of clearing themselves
Of that odium. VIII this knowing, impudcnt
scamp come out next week and assert that
their letters are forgcrcs, as he has in the
case Of Messrs. Orr, Curricr and Owens >
After reading the letter of Mr.. Mills in the
present issue, perhaps cone Who Knows
will use more caution in his lying next time
he attempts to palm off his copperhead false
hoods. for truth.
We have also the evidence in our posses
sion, to produce at any time, that MeSSrs.
Orr and Currier, who are both thorough.
going Union men, did have the letter writ
ten and "'sned it, which appeared over their
signatures in THE WING. We lett out one
paragraph Of their letter, on account of the
crowded state Of our columns, and at which
omission these gentlemen we're somewhat
displcascd, We here insert the omitted
paragraph, which reads as follows:

This is the omitted paragraph from the
letter which Nessrs. Orr and Curricr did
approve and sign, and authorize to be pub
iished. Now, Mr.. Blowhard, get certificates
from these gentlemen denying what is here
set dowE, and make good your charge Of
forgery. We do call the copprrhcad
game the game Of bragg" and have pretty
etlectuaIly proven the charge in the present
issue. In reference to the blarney this
