LIBERAL ISLANDERS AND sLASpERERs.

The upholdcrs Of Mr.. Greeley and the Gin
clnnau movement IN the press aud on the
stump have, during the last six months,
demonstrated at least one thiug-thM az
slandervrs aud deiamcrs they cannot be sur
passed. Since the inauguration Of the cOu-
test now nearly year ago they have per-
sisted In printing and circulating falsehood
upon falsehood not only about the President
and tho members Of his Cabinet, but about
every man who stood by the Republican
party. The Tribune particularly signalzed
itself In this Infamous business. We admit
that tho Republican journals made pretty
good assault upon their opponents, but the
difference between the Journals Of the two
parties Is this the Greeley papers failed TO
establish tho truth Of their assertions, while
the papers Of the other side bneaght guilt
home in the opinion Of every impartial per-
son, to every Liberal aud Democrat whom
they attacked. The one side printed what
was false and slanderous; the other printed
only the plain and simnle truth. The Times
