A Refuge of Lies.

There probably never was a campaign
since political divisions first arose from pam
demonium to vex and distract unhappy NOR
tails, in which such utterly reckless and I'M
scrupulous lying was used as a weapon of of
Tense, as is INDUCED in by the opposition thus
early in the present contest 1t seems to be
their settled policy to put most glaringly false
reports of all kinds before the country, in the
confident anticipation that they will reach
people who will never see nor hear of the ref
utation and that people will assume, on gen.
eral principles, that where there is SO much
smoke there must be some fire.
Of this kind of frauds are tho vast multi
tudes of shameful accusations against the
Presidents private character and conduct.
However conclusively and fully any particular
SANDER is refuted, it is still repeated and all
the changes rung upon it by Democratic
sheets, and as their readers generally never
see the answer, honest preudices are created
in their minds by statements which may haye
not even semblance of foundation, and can
did and fair-minded Democrats are led to be-
lieve that the President is the monster of in
ifuiey, "hi0h Ii ClCdIcu w IutSo fcfdCiOus
journals. .,
But the most wholesale lying is devoted to
stories of changes from Republicanism to
Greeleyism, and against this we wish special
1y to warn our readers. 1t will be noticed
that these miraculous and numerous CONVEX
sions are generally located in regions remote
from the knowledge of the parties addressed
and in nearly every case where one of the
stories has been traced home and investigated
the give hundred black cats have become one
white kitten" Why hardly prominent Re-
publican in this city goes out of town without
coming back with accounts of meeting old
friends who have anxiously inquired if he
really has 'gone over to Greeley" and who
say that the Democrats have confidently
quoted him.
We hear from remote parts of the State
that five hundred Greeley Republicans are
claimed in Portland but we hear no such
claim here, even by the most blatant Greeley
ties. Everybody here knows that they can
not muster one hundred men, who have ever
been Republicans or quasi-Republicans, who
will support Greeley. Our friends at dis
lance need have no fears about this city or
vicinity. We are all right and shall abund-
entity prove it in September. The boasts and
braggadocio of our opponents are becoming
so utterly preposterous as to defeat them
selves.

Rebel Pensions.

1t is a significant fact that while the Tri-
bune ridicules the Carmichael correspondence
and abuses Mr.. Carpenter, who is not quite
confident that the matter of rebel pensions
was approved by Mr.. Greeley, it very care
fully avoids saying that Mr.. Greeley did not
approve of a proposition to pay pensions to
rebel soldiers and their heirs. Why is Mr..
Greeley's organ silent on this point? If he
did not endorse that infamous scheme that
puts the soldier who fought for the country
and the one who fought against it on the
same level, why does he not say SOP Is this
the first proposition in the way of Justice and
economy that will signalize Mr.. Greeleys ad-
ministration? Because Mr.. Greeley's organ
has carefully avoided this subject, great
many will be anxious to learn if he favors a
scheme that will add $4,000, 900 to the ma
tional burdens. Is the Tribune silent on this
point for fear it will ALLEVIATE the rebel vote?
What the Tribune styles ''fapdoodIe' will
not satisfy the people on this point
A SUPERLATIvELY silly lie has been start
ed by the Democrats here that Gov. Perham
has advised Sheriff Perry to cease prosecutions
for violations OF the liquor law. In point of
fact, Gov. Perham has never made any sug-
gestions of any kind, to our Sheriff, respect
ing the enforcement or non-enforcement of
the law. Mr.. Perry CONSTITUTES the law as
making it his imperative duty to proceed as
he has done without direction from the State
Executive, and good citizens generally are
pleased with the firmness and impartialitv
with which he has performed his duty. But
any attempt to connect the Governor with if
directly is utterly without foundation.
AN exchange says that Mr.. Greeleys sup
porters are to be found ON the farms and in
the workshops This may be true to GER
tain extent, but forty-nine fiftieths of his sup
porters are from the Democratic party. We
do not care to tell where this party gets the
majority of its voters, but Horace Greeley has
said within four years that it finds its sup
porters in rum shops, gambling hells and
brothels, -r"i-t
