AN INFAMOUS FALSEHOOD.
The American of yesletdny contains one
nf ilio most airocions falsehoods against Mr.
Sliunk that ooulil pnssibl be invented
The conductor of that pr is will known
its one of tho most brinnl ami reckless slum!
urers t!mt ever disgraced the I'rrst.but vili'
us he is known jo tie, no person could mi
rigine tti.it lie. would dare lo publish such
an atrocious falsehood as appeared in h is
paper of yesterday. The Bubsiance of the
nriiele is, that at the laying of tho eorncr
stono of the Gorman Catholic Church in
the fifth ward, Mr. Sliunk had the American
Flug spread out for the priest lo walk over,
in order that, by thus suffering tho rljg of
KS his country to be trampled on, ho might
(.iin the votes of those present. 1 Ho mo
tiv attributed to Mr. Sliunk is too ridicu
ously ("also to tequirc any refutation, and
the whole statement touching the .flag is
totally destitute of truth. No such occur
retire look place on the occasion referred
lo, as ran be testified lo by hundreds who
wore present during tho ceremony: ami if
the editor Ind desired to bo correctly in
formed on the matter, ho might havo made
inquiry of some of the members of his own
pany who were present, and who, wo know
must have felt an interest in the proceo
diini''. If Mr. Sliunk was there il was as a
ppect.itot only, and if the whig parly intend
to hold all responsible whose curiosity im
polled them to witness the ceremony. many
of our must respectable citizens of all de
nominations and of every party, will be
proscribed by ibis now standard of patriotism
tiiiilibc whigs of our city have sei up.
The Odtbolic I'rocessio,,' charge shows
to what desperate) shifts the whigs arc
t'rroii to rake up some objections to the
democr.ilii; canilultle for Governor They

is to their never failing expedient nl mixing

day. In the absence of any real objections, llu
enemies ol Mr S have heretofore denoun
ced him feir bhiim prcMin.with ihousauilso
his lellow citizens, at the laying of tin
fwiniiT sifinn of the German Church, but ihi
trampling on the Iky is a rccci.t addition
in ihn sinrv a lie of new ooinnue w hioli
is expected to circulate where, the base mis
representations of the first statement have
become uueiirrei't.
We do not notice this story from any fear
of the e Iff el il mighl have in this neighbor

us is the chara'-lcr of its aiilhoi, but for llie
