We find the following under the Editorial head of the last Gazette:

 ".4notto nsostiiying deteat.-We under stand, tha, on Thursday evening last, Mir. Cnttenden made an appointment to make Stump Sp,ech to company at the .Nine-ptn .fttey, under the hill, about quarter of mile below this town, and went there for that purpose. 4 pretty large company had collected, of whom several soon joined in a game at Nine-pins, which so interested the crowd, that Mr. Crittenden could not draw their attention off long enough to hear him speak. Finding that the company felt more interest in witnessing the game, than III hearlnghim speak, MT. Crittenden was under the nortifying necessity of deferring the display of his oratorial powers which he had intended making. This must have been far nore grating to his feelings, and mortiiyingto his 0o1lity, than the numer- ous similar disappointments which he met with m Washington and some of the other western counties"

 A more palpable and deliberate LIE, ne- yer was printed. It Is a tissue of false- hood and1nisrepresentation from beginning to end. Mir. Cnttenden did NOT make san appointment to make a Stump Speech to a company at the .Nsne-pin .aHey," nor did any of his friends for him. We can pro- cure the certificates of more than taeentp citizens of this town, giving an unqualified deniaI to the above statement. Some 40 or 50 persons assembled at the Nine-pin Alley, on the evening mentioned above, and not one of them, so far as we have been able to learn, expected speech from Mir. Crittenden. We are told that he was invit- ed by several of the company to make speech, but declined in consequence of slight indisposition. And this inuitation was given efter the company had assem- bied. This lie was matched up for the pur pose of injuring Mr. Crittenden. Wood ruff knew 1t to be lie when he published 1t. If he dare deny what we have here said, we will prove him LIAR by l5 or 20 citizens of this town, who were present. But even then ii would be hardly necessa- ", for at know him to be LYING scoyE- DREL.
