Those who have witnessed, at parti-
cular times, low this country has been
Inundated with forged bills, will not be
astonished to learn, that there has been
gang of counterfeiters discovered at
Lisbon, in the state of Ohio, which forms
one like of confederacy extending in
to other states James Bennett, Abra-
ham Hill, and John Hill were charged
with making and stamping Spanish mil
led and american dollars; George Her.
bert, with concealing Henry Hagler,
horse thief, Knowing him to be such,
Richard Hunt, with the same offence,
and also with, making stamping and
counterfeiting half dollars; John Faulks,
charged with concealing Henry Hagler.
horse thief, knowing him to be such,
and likewise with purchasing of the
same man horse, knowing that animal
to have been stolen property; William
Faulks arrested of purchasing OF John
Faulks, stolen horse, knowing him to
be such. From the similarity OF names
as well as similarity of gallows cccupa-
tons, it seems that some of these par
| ties are relations in blood as well as in
crime, and further, that there is confe-
| deracy between the counterfeiters and
horse thieves, so that all the parties may
be enabled at any moment to make their
escape, if detected and pursued by the
officers of justice. Keys were found
upon the malefactors, fitted to the locks
of the Bank of Mount Pleasant, and this
shows another link of this .confederacy
of which Canada is said to be the head

whence these demons in human shape
are disgorged, to prey upon the world
Five men, since this explosion, have
been arrested at Welburg--two at Har-
risvlle, and several in Jefferson and
Cslumbiana Counties. The editor who
has disclosed these important facts
speaking with guardedness and circum-
spection, and avoids the detail of the
evidence, as the officers of justice are
now in full chace of the vagabonds.
There is one great security which we
have, that prevents these miserable
wretches from forming durable confe-
deracy, and that is, the same treachery
that induces them to combine for the
plumber of the honest induces them to
break their felon faith with each other.
This want of fidelity cannot be supplied
by any other quality, and they are just
as ready to deliver over one of their
comrades to the death grippe of tie glib

Caution.

We have seen letters which inform us that
number of agents have been freighted in
Boston with Crawford Electoral jackets; natred
tickets, containing the names of a few regular
iy nominated Electors at the head of the list,
with s'me of q spurious kind at the bottom,
and other noiSchierous arares, and are sent far
and wide through the country, scattering dis
affection among the people, and neglecting no
dishonoTaJls means to effect their object.
Electors will do well to read all the names on
their tickets, and see that they are genuine.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

Mail from Worcester to Hartford was
broken open near Sturbridge, by man
OF the name Of Smith, who was alone in

For the Massachusetts, Spa |

Mr.. EditOr-Among the toasts at the din.
ner of the Agricultural Society, as published
in your last, was one upon the yeomanry OF
England, which is incorrectly reported.
The toast as announced on that occasion, was
6 The yeomanry Of Ne4O England--a strong
Team, but exceedingly unmanageablc---it
works best without driver.
We handed the above to the committee OF
publication, and are requested to say that
upon reviewing the toast, as announced, nit
was thought to convey, in its literal and OBJ
vious meaning, such character of the yeom-
amy of New.England as the author could uot
deliberately intend. They altered the phras-
eology, as they conceived, conformably to the
point of the sentiment the Hon. gentlemen
meant to express. ~

PRESIDENTIAL.
Pledged and Unpledged Elec

Pledged and Unpledged Electors.
We have heard so much about - pledged''
and unpledged" electors that we have be-
come disguised with the subject. Those PEG.
pie who consider one ticket more pledged to
support particular candidate for the Office of
President, than the other, must have been in
attentive observers of the transactions in the
political field during the Presidential cam
both Branches the Legisl ature met in Bos-
ton last June, and agreed upon list of Elec.
tors supposed to be friendly to the election Of
John Quincy Adams. circular was ad-
dressed to each person so designated request
ing him TO signify whether he would serve if
chosen. An answer was returned to this in
quiry expressing their appreciation of the
course which was taken, and willingness to
be considered candidates for the office. Thus
have they become pledged ''come life or
come death' to give their sufrages to John
Quincy Adams. Every person who supports
this list of Electors, does it with the belief,
that they will not betray the confidence repou-
ed in them, but will act, when called upon,
as he would act if he was allowed to have a
voice in the election. No wise man will vote
for electors who are not pledged as far as these
are. Circumstances may yet render it very i'm
proper for tie electors of Massachusetts to
give their votes for Mr.. Adams. In case Of
such an event, they are not pledged to him.
but bound to make the wisest selection.
We will now examine the other list, and
see If they are not also pledged Electors. But
before we proceed "to call witnesses" it will
be proper to give short account of its origin.
Seven wise men in Boston, avowod Craw-
:fordites, pcrceiving there was some opposition
70 the mode of choosing the electors, improv-
ed the opportunity to usher into the market a
list Of their own manufacturing, assuring the
public that "these men were 1tnpledged to
support any one candidate in preference to an
'other."-This testimony is inadmissible.-
The sentiments Of every gentleman on this list,
a. VIC phie hS WAS put Al NOMINATION., were
as well known to these guardians of the Craw-
ford progeny, as they will be in case they arc
elected, after they have voted. We are told
as proof of their being unpledged, that 'stherc
are avowcd friends of MIR. Adams associated
with Them" We admit there is, and this
fact explains the object in view in their nom
ination. This was maneuvre in their
management whereby 'there hangs tale.
Like sldlful apothecary, they were aware
OF the necessity Of mingling few honied drops
in the cup they were about to present to the
people. Though it would weaken its ult.
mate operation, yet it was necessary to en-
sure IFS reception. But in this they were mis-
taken. They found that the idea of having
William Fl. Crawford for President was re-
pagnant to the feelings of nine-tenths of the
people ofNew England. The thought occur
red to them, that there was here and here
