Todd and Drake, of Cincinnati, some months
since issued a new life Of Harrison, perhaps the
twentieth une wrrtten-of course it was for eec
tIoneering purposes, and 10 suit certain region.
These meu, in this liie>~the twentieth, forgrd
speech for Gen. Harrison, in reply to John Ran
doph, who charged HIM with being black
coci,ade federalst. And what do you think the
excuse of these historians aud biographcrs was,
phan detected in the base forgery, reviewed,
snd endorsed by Harrison himself3 Why, that
they found it on slip ofa newspaper, but they
could not tell where or when such newspaper
was ever printed But acknowledged that it
wss not the speech IN Gales & Seaton's reports
as made out and published at The time of delie-
cry. The true records of the country, proved
Harrison black cockade federallsI. spesch
must therefore be forged to palm him off on the
people as simon pure democrat This was
done by one of ilarrson's military aids, and
sanctioned by Harrison hmsefl So much for
the principal and his keepers.
But again-the Detroit Free Press has just de
tected and exposed forged life OF Mr.. Van
BuTen, in the hands ofthe federal officers of the
State OF Micnigan--and there are number ol
them, il is said, in Michigan, generally used Sc
cretly by the forgers, by carrying them to mems
houses, and reading the forged sentences or print
ed leaves, neatly put IN the work in place Of
those ,aken out. TO mske the imposition efiet
ual. a few Numbers ofthe work mutitated, ,wert
deposited with democratic Book merchant, t,
be soid on commission, and then bought from
hin, and when the forged sentences would bt
read to the people, these cunning federal ennis
saries would assert, land purchased this book
of a democrat naming the store or firm, ant
of couro democrats must belieye il true.
But still, another-the Illinois State Register
exposes at some length, forged Or mutilate'
journal of the New York convention used b,
the federalists Of that Stale. The Register says
~, s "BLACK OR WHITE"
EXPUNGED FROM THE JOURNALS By
ORDER OF THE sPRINFIELD JUN
TO.
The Federal LEADERS, have procured copy q
the Journals of the New York convention, an
hive EXPUNGED the words BLACK or White
from Mr.. Van Buren's speech, in order to max
il correspond with their FORGRRlES.
"We dare the Journal 10 deny these facts, q
we are prepared toprove them by unmpeachu
hle testimony. The people eau now place III
proper eStilulo uPon a" PO'oi'uOo OAu".'
which may appear in the Federal papers fror
their GARBLED AND FALsIFIED JOUR
NAILS.
Now. what is the conclusion to be drawn fror
all thsi Every honest and judicious man wi
say at once, that it is an acknowledgment on tn
mart Of Harrison and his friends, tina! Mr.. Va
Buren can only be defeated by forgery, fraud
violence. That they have no hopes of success
except through base and wicked means.-The
dare NOT tell the people what their own prime
nios .are--what measures Of Government the
Intend for the good of the people. They dal
moi smhody their principles IN one vlsw, Tn
The neople can see them and dare not assall
Van Buren,, except by first misrepresentlng b
= opinions and fTom false deduclioLs draw ST.
more false conclusions. Hence, the passion
and not the sober reason Of men must be appe
ed to.-Hence, women and children, for u
: first time are brought into tbe pOlitica! arena,
IL aid in exciting the men, Hence, log cabins ar
canoes on wheels--coon skins. and the debaut
Of hard cider were all resorted 10, to aid the d
lusion. to excite the passions and impose
those that cannot read, as DR.. LandoD has II,
thpse who read TO very poor purpose. Al
il is when mems passions are excited, that u
supposed these forgeries can be made to produ
effect for surely inno reasonable moment, WIN
mems minds are cool and oam would any pa
sy attempt success by means that must be
most certain Of their destruction. Such a mo
oi corruptiDg the electOF, and then imposing
on his good sense ifhe have any leit, is broue
from England. whore money, free dinners a
liquors gratis, are ibsPrinOiPi arguments
