CHILL. W. HAzzARD's Monongahcla Re
publican having published some of the reg
ulation lies about Mr.. English, the Demo-
cratic candidate for vice president,
found they were lies and sets a
good example to the Examiner in
this fashion eve now have the
most indisputable evidence that the
item contains no single word of truth. 1t
is mean story and reflects no credit on
it's inventor. We therefore hasten to
make the proper amende. No such thing
as is therein mentioned took place, and as
it is no part of this paper to mislcad its
readers, VIC regret the publication, and de-
sire to recall it. We do not believe that the
license ofpolitical controversy is any justi-
fication for tho publication Of a SANDER
and it would not be honorable to do less
than we now do with tho knowledge that
VIC now possess.
