it frankly, but with due difference, that we would not .un

think capable of any such act, involving the compca
ed arocity of frs forging the letter. and then OF a III
order TO conceal it
We copy the above paragraph from the last
Richmond Enquirer. We are disposed to give Gre
dit to the assertion Of the editor that the letter re-
icrred to, was not forged by him. We believe Mr..
Richie to be too honorable man, and to have too
much of the Virgnian chivalry about him, TO de-
scend to such an act. There is doubt on our
mind that the falsehood--we beg pardon-'the ex-
traordnary error" originated with calender OF
congress- who, if never before distinguished, ought
now to be- elevated to the distinction he deserves.
We hope he will have at least manness enough to
avow himself and thus rescue Mr.. Richie from the
situation Of delicacy and modification in which he
| has placed him. Should he, however, refuse his
name and explanation, is it not the proper course OF
a high minded editor, who feels himself so grossly
insulted as well deceived, to be made the or
gan of notorious mls-statement, to cast the OBJ
loquy from his own shoulders, let it rest where II
may? This appears to to be not only the natural
course Of wounded pride and honor but the neces-
sary course for the vindcation of Mr.. Ritches ed-
torial character, which is jeoparded while the onas
