ISLANDERS ON SENATOR WILSON

The Democratic papers (and we
class the whole Greeley tribe under
this head) have been publishing
what purported to be q Knownoth-
ing speech of Hon. Henry Wilson,
the Republican candidate for Vice
President, which represented him
as saying some very foolish things
against the foreigners. Every man
who is acquainted with Henry Will
sons history, and who is willing TO
be fair and just, doubted its genu-
ineness. The language of the speech
Is so unlike q man who has an es-
tablished reputation as q peace-ma-
ker, that Republicans at once pro-
nounced it q forgery. The adhe-
rents of Greeley, aud especially
those who are traitors to the Re-
publican party, are so desperate and
many of them so vile, that they do
not hesitate to make any sort of O
charge against any Republican
whom they may single out as the
object of their hatred. Henry Will
son is supremely hated by them be-
cause he is q good man.
In quoting from this same speech
which the Democratic papers pub
lish as the utterances of Henry Will
son, the Chicago Inter- Ocean says :
"Now, when we consider the fact
that Henry Wilson never made a
Knownothing speech in which the
language attributed to him, or any
thing like it, appeared-that he new
CIR sympathized with the persecution
of foreigners carried on by the
Knownothing party-the henious-
ness of these forgeries and false
hoods becomes disgustingly appar-
emit to every fair mind. It will be
remembered that these same fellows
attempted the same trick upon the
reputation OF Schuyler Colfax when
he was running for the same Office,
along with the same candidate for
President, in 1868; but Colfax had
the lie chased down, and made its
author publicly acknowledge his
falsehood."
It is safe to say that Henry Will
son never gave utterance to any
such sentiments. 1t does not sound
like him, and Democratic papers
must furnish evidence of its genu-
ineness before intelligent persons
will believe it. There was q man
named Wilson IN southern Indiana,
we believe, who delivered Know
nothing speeches many years ago,
but he was not relative of Henry
Wilson. 1t is we'll known, and
Greeley's almanac shows, that Hen
rY Wilson was the opposing candi-
date for Governor of Massachusetts |
against the first Knownothing can
didate who eyer run there. He
was subsequently elected to the
Senate, and is classed in the Tribune |
almanac with Charles Sumner, as q |
Free Soiler.
Henry Wilson was . poor man,
who won his present position by
honest, courageous, patient labor by
the side of poor men, foreign and
native, with whom he heartily SYM
psthizes. He is not intolerent, ma
liciously proscriptivc and a perse-
cutor of foreigners, but the friend
Of worthy men, with malice toward
none and charity for all.

A Washington dispatch says that
ain view of the statement of Sena-
tor Schurz, at st. Louis, that some
one had offered him patronage in
the namo of the President If he
would support the San Domingo
scheme, the President authorizes the
statement that no one ever received
authority from him, either directly
or indirectly, to offer patronage, or
any other similar inducement to
any Senator for his support of the
San Domingo or any other measure
of the Administration. The Presi-
dent pronounces. the whole state
ment, as far as it attempts 10 reflect
upon him, as absolutely unfounded.
The President expresses his earnest
desire that Schurz will at once pub
lish the letter which he claims to
have in reference to this pretended
offer, in order that If any one has so
imposed upon the Senator it may
lead 10 a full expose of the dishon-
est motives aud character of such
person"
