Two weeks ago. we noticed in our paper

 the passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill, and

 in connection with that subject gave an ex

 tract of speech from Senator Tappan

 commenting upon the price of labor, &c

 and we spoke of Mir. Tappan as an aboli

 tonist. This seems to have thrown our

 neighbor of the "Democrat" into a perfect

 fever, and strange as it may appear, tha, paper is mortified at the idea of forgery and tajsehood

 The extract we published was taken from the Cincinnati Republican, respecta- ble paper printed in Mir. Tappan's own State, and we had no doubt of it's correct, ness; but since the publication we have seen a Washington Globe, which says that they are authorized to contradict this extract as having no foundation in truth, and we most cheerfully make the amend in justice to the party injured. The charge of abolition was made upon the evidence of Mir. Tap. pans former course and his declarations about the Southampton murders in Virgin ia. The Shield has ever avoided gross per sonalities and vindictive abuse; it has ever endeavored to do justice to all we are bat ting for principle, and what we believe to be the cause Of our country and we would scorn the idea of carrying ottr measures by any other than honorable means We will never knowingly misrepresent any one, and if by accident we should. none will he more ready to do justice than we But the holy horror of the Democrat about these things is really amusing, coming as it does from a paper that publishes the fcrged Ohio Circular, and published with the name of Gen. Harrison affixed to it, an extract of his circular in 1922, to prove him an abolition ist, when the whole circular taken together showed that Gen. Harrison placed the rights of the South upon high Constitutional grounds. Come neighbor, take things cool |y, and when you learn to tell the truth yourself, we shall receive your lectures more kindly
