The Star editor knew perfectly well what every
man ut all familiar with the papers OF the day
knows that the Committee in question immediate
~ upon the appearance Of Ibis pretended circular
in al Ohio paper came out with the above card
inn
to end, and not only SO, but that fellow in Column
bus Ohio, had confessed in the presence OF several
witnesses that he had fabricated the circular and
attempted to excuse himself by saying he only
m cant it as n Joke! These things have been pub
lished every where and several Locoioco papers
have been held up TO the scorn of an outraged com
munIty for publishing this Document with all this
knowledge before them. And now aftor all this
the Star in its desperate effort aside the cur
rent Of popular Indignation which is overwhelm-
ing corrupt administration, has with unparal eled
efrontery reproduced the infamous forgery and
thus made itself in moral point of view willing
purticpator in the original crime The man who
could deliberately do such for the purpose OF
efec ting grovelling party object, would not hest
tate to ply the torch of theincendiary TO fire sTown
forthe purposes of plumber revenge if he thought
he could elude detection, and the State Prison or
the PIory would be fit punishment for the
! wretch who could thus coolly impose on the Pub
Ic We do not attempt TO conceal indignation
at this high-handed attempt to deceVe-no Ian
gusge that use is strong enough TO charac-
ter,ze such conduct as it deserves. We speak gu:
plainly our sentiments and the sentiments of
every Wing at the outrage, and may we not ven
ture add tho sentiments of many n Van Buren,
man who is not ready to PROSTATE every princ pie
of honor truth md honesty to curry out party ob
jcct?
We agree with the Hartford Patriot that despor-
ate indeed must be the faction which IL compelled
to resort TO "bare forgery" for its support. The
honest portion Of the Administration party will
blush with shame for such deed perpetrated by
their corrupt leaders. And will they not a
bandon them? Will they not say that if these arc
the means you use, must wash our ha DIS OF
their support by leaving SO corrupt party.
