Contradiction.
The Union says:-
"It is well known that we do not attempt to contradict the numberless falsehoods daily sent, or which purport to be sent by telegraph or otherwise, from this city in relation to the President and the different members of his cabinet; but the intention of Mr. Guthrie to resign, is announced with such an assurance of reliable authority that we deem it proper to say that it is without the slightest foundation in truth. Such an idea was never entertained for one moment either by the President or the Secretary, and we may as well add that the rumors which have gained circulation within the last eighteen months with regard to contemplated changes in the cabinet, and all the rumors of dissensions between its different members, or between any one of them and the President, are each and all absolutely and entirely groundless."
