Publishing Company, 10 the interest of
Grant and corruption has fallen from his
high and dignidcd (?) position and ccnde,

who edits that paper accuses US Of lying
in our last article entitled "Falschoods,"
aad hurls at US all manner Of vile epi'hcts,
to prove that We have lied We care
nothing for these personal filings at both us

This is more than the editor of the Craft
organ can, or dare say. And to close
these remarks, that SIC may review his
charges in the same article against Mr.
Hereford, in the editors own choice and
rdifying language we say that il he had

In the article alluded to, speaking Of
Mr. Hereford, the editor says that 'if the
