ter purporting to have been written by
an officer ofthe Army to the Editor Of
the Providence City Gazette, which let
ter is dated at Washington and processes
to report certain expressions made use
of by the President in speaking of the
Chem approaching election in this State.
The object Of the writer Of this forgery,
(forsuc we pronounce it TO be) seems
to have been purely political. 1t bears
date April 6, eleven days anterior to the
election; and from the time when, ard
the tenor in which il was written, must
convince every one whosresds il. that il
is despicabls piece of forgery. Such
were our impressions on reading it aud
I'VE are gratinsd to find them well found
ed by the remarks Of the Washington
Globe upon the subject.
"It was fabricated (says the Globe)
for The purpose of operating on the An
'imasons so as to ALLEVIATE their suppor,

Rhode Island elections. Il 10 as base an
imposition as The forged missionary let

nams Of Andrew Jackson affixed, 10 ex-
cite some religious prejudices against
him in the presidential contest. ~.
In the letter the whole conversation
ascribed.to the President is mere inyen-
tion. The President never expressed
such sentiments as are attributed TO him
against the Anti-lnasons, and no ssch o.
pinions or wishes as are attributed to
bim in favor uf Governor Arnuid. We
call on the editor Of the City Gazette to
give US .he name of the author of this
letter. who, il he viii do us the favor, to

indeed, the commotion and roar which its dis.
charge occasioned were such, that the officer in
command was generally compassionate enough
to give previous notice of the exact time when
it would begin to thunder. The non.miitants
might be seen and heard running up and down
the streets, and shouting, - To-day the Foul

NIMROD WILDFIRE.

Mr.. Hackett is yet in England. and BY the last
number Of the London Literary Gazette. it ap.
pears that ne has appeared at Covent Garden in a
new farce CALLED the Rentuckiaa- >re-manufac-
ture of Col. Nimrod Wildire. Judging from
the following specimens, however, we should
think that the piece has not been improved by the
London playwright. The Davy Crcckett.isms,
though old acquaintance, have nevertheless lost
much Of their original spirit. We extract the
following:
Covent Garden. The new farce of the Ken
Mckian, by Mr.. Bernard, was admirably acted on
the 6rst night. and has been gradually rising in
popularity ever since. When MIR. Hackett ap-
peared at Drury Laoe, we stated the highly Ia.
vorable impression made upon Us by that display
of bis talent; but there was what the blackguards

tons Of character, was seen at that theatre no
more. Its rival has now afforded him an oPpor-
tun,ty Of showing Of what stuff he was made;
and he has fully justified our expectations. The
Kentuck, the Gsscon Of the United States, is a
very peculiar and amusing being; and most ma.
turallv and laushabiy does Mr.. Hackett exhibit
his peculiarities. The coloring is not overcharg-
ed, though repl-te with tone; and the humour is
possessed Of a quiet force which must be seen to
be felt. The part IS dressed well, looked we'll,
and performed well; and We only wish we could
give our readers any idea Of the drollery Of the
following Specimens Of Kenfuck. SO admirably

gularly imposed in the wrong place.
