Daily Intelligencer

The Wheeling Union, of Saturday morning, has a leading article, the text of which is that call upon the negroes of Pittsburgh to form Wide Awake Clubs and Vigilance Committees. This call, as we have heretofore explained, was published by some rascally friends of Foster, in an independent newspaper, the Dispatch, for the purpose of injuring the Wide Awake Clubs and the Republican cause in general on the morning of the election. Although this sneaking advertisement has been peddled through the streets of this city, and read at public meetings, its real intent and meaning must be apparent to any fair man.

Even the Union says:

To read the editorial of these Republican editors of Wheeling, one would suppose that they would regard such a publication, if seriously made, a great outrage, and yet they will not say so, and if they do we know they thereby falsify, not only their party, but themselves.

We certainly would regard such a publication as a great outrage, no matter how made, but it was doubly so published on the morning of the election, with the object it had in view.

This advertisement we observe, has been used in other localities, to cast odium upon the Republican party.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday—and there are several things the reverse of respectable—is the publication of an address to the colored men of Pittsburgh, which was circulated the day before the election—an address pretending to be from negroes, but really gotten up by Democrats, to excite the roughs against the negroes.

The Enquirer publishes this pretending not to be aware of its character.

This is equal to its persistent falsifications of the position of Carl Schurz.

But, to return to the Union article.

That paper charges us with "going hand in glove with men banded together to run off their neighbor's property in secret and clandestine ways."

We have only to observe, in answer to this, (though we hardly think it necessary,) that the Union knew when it made this charge, that it was a falsehood.

We submit to the public, if a man capable of inventing such a calumny be not "capable of any baseness?"

Is there anything that such a man will not stoop to?
