In that article he leads his readers lo the
! irresistible inference, that the Whig Meeting
in question, had directed the Secretary to
furnish his paper with a MSS. copy of the
proceedings, and that the Secretary had prom
ised t-i oo so; hut that in violation of the or
ders of the meeting, as well as his promise, he
did not do so, until the concern had become
'too stale.' The facts are t _so —the Whig
Mass Meeting'did noi contemplate the publi
cation of its proceedings, by any other paper,
until copied from rite Wiaenoain Herald, par
ticularly as that paper had been rtquosled by
the meeting, lo eel as ihe organ of the V- lag
parly in Grant county. It is true ihs Secre
larv ru'd a gentleman ham Potoai, who came
to him during the progress of lire meeting,
hat he would furnish a copy for publication
in the Republican; and hit undoubtedly would
hare dene so, unless prevented by good and
sufficient cause; had not the meeting prohibit
ed üby their order, requiring the Secretary lo
to furnish the Herald only, with a copy—re
questing the oilier papers lo copy from the
Herald.
