The Adeertiser ofSaurday did not tell the
truth when it insinuated that the PRESS had
accused Ex-Governor Chamberlain OF being "a
party to any of the outside movements which
were talked of last summer" What the
PRESS has said, and what it now says, is that
Gen. Chamberlain allowed himself to be led
by Pike, Talbot and other disaffected politi-
clans to take into consideration certain "out-
side movements" His more honorable ipflu-
ences finally triumphed, whereupon his indg-
nant patrons Immediately forsook him, after
his dalliance with them had done him irrepar-
able injury. Chamberlain's connection with
these conspiracies was most unfortunate for
himself, but on the whole not positively dis.
honorable; but the conduct of Messrs. Pike
and Talbot, who were animated by one spirit,
and who like Ingomar and his bride, are
Two souls with but single thought, i
