A FORGED SPEECH, The Van Buren, papers arc
again copying the speech manufactured by the Re-
porter for the Globe respecting the gold spoons,
which they attribute to Gov. Lincoln. Now, Gov
l.. made the speech which they publish -
He rose in HE House to make some corrections in
the remarks of Mr. Oglc respecting the blandsh.
monts Of tho Presidents House, and tho Reporter
for the Globe made up What suited the purposes Of
his parry. Gov, l.. upon seeing the pretended
speech The next morning declared in the House
that he never made that peech AS attributed to
him, and said the reporter added 10 his remarks
statements which he did not make, and which were
false. This is dishonest, but like many Of the fab
relations of the party leaders. They are compelled
to commit iorgeies in order TO hide their iaiqui-
ties, and TO dec Give their followers.

The EFFECT OF TRUTH. Twenty Van Buren,
men from town IN Ohio attended the Celebra.
ton at Fort Meigs, who had been made to believe
by the falsehoods Of the Van Buren, papers, that
Gen. Harrison was an old, broken down, and in
firm man-weals in body and intellect. They saw
him, and hoard him speak. The result was, each
of these twenty returned home fast Harrison men,
They said that they had been deceived, and would

LORD DURHAM MARTIN VAN BUREN

LORD DURHAM--MARTINV VAN BUREN,.
Let the reader turn to The first page OF this paper
and look over Van Buren's servile letter 10 Lord
Durham. 1t was carried TO England by Durham
and There printed in the Government paper, and
we believe copied into the Washington Globe
No one has ever denied its authenticity Indeed
it bears the Impress of Van Buren, on its iace--in
its style and tone. Its spirit is in perfect keeping
with his conduct towards England. Let glance
at his conduct
First, he negotiated away our interests in the
West India trade--teking soma hundred thousand
dollars annually irorr the business Of American
liens and giving il to England. Adams rejected
this proposition Of the British Government with
scorn, but when it fel into Van Burens hands he
accepted it.
Secondly, he permitted the British TO pass with
their army tho disputed territory, TO put down
the cause of Liberty in Canada, when they had no
more right 20 pass there than they had to go thro
Vermont.
Thirdly he sent out PROCLAMATION, calling all
who sympathised with their fellow men struggling
for equal rights in Canada, ''nefarious individuals"
and directed Congress to pass law making it the
duty of his officers to arrest all such as showed
desire, individuals, to aid the oppressed in Can
ada
Four,hIy, he has not obtained any rcpnration
apology from Eogand, for the burning Of tho Car
oline, and the murder of hei crew.
Filthy, he refused to release the imprisoned
friends Of canadian Independence, unless the Tory
Governor Of Canada should make the request.
Sxthy, whenever opportunity he never
fails sacrifice the interests of rs country to that
oi'Greal Britain. Thus itappenrs to u.s.
These allegations we believe to be true. No in
telligent honest Van Buren, will deny them.
Is then Martin Van Buren, fit man for President
Of the United States while he worships foreign gods
of oppression? Is it not time TO have .4mericda
for President

MR Error; In the North Star Of last week il
is asserted That Wm. Upham, Esq. of Montpelier,
was in the village of Danville from Monday till
Saturday OF the week preceding electioneerng with
the exception Of few hours, when it IS minated
ho was at Barnet the same errnnd This is OF
piece with the thousand other falsehoods which
Issue from that polluted source. Tho writer oil
this happens to know that Mr. Upham left Danville
on Tuesday about noon for Barnet where he was
engaged in professional business two days, and that
he did not return 10 Danve until Friday morning
the day the Wing district Convention was holden
which he attended, and after which he took the
first stage Saturday foI his home. How much
he may have been engaged in political discussions
during the short periods Of time he was at Dam
vile other than at the Convention, the writer pre-
tends not to know. Ii is submitted however,
whether he, mere private citizen, neither an Of
fee holder nor candidate for office, had not about
te right, if he chose TO exercise it, of ming
ling in the political discussions going on, as the
man whom the Star denounced few years ago as
''uurncoat and trimmer viz e. T.. Van Ness;
or as the Postmaster of Montpelier who it is said
was hanging about this County and at Danville in
particular several days about the time the Locoiocos
held their County Convention. HUGO.

MlSMANAGEMENT AND EXTRAVAGANGE
OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS.

The following extracts are taken from Speech
of Hon. G. II. PRoFTIr of Indiana, in relation 10
the Florida War, delivered in the House of Repre-
sen!atives, on the general appropriation bill
But, sir, this is another instance of the fairness
with which the Opposition treated. If they
vote supplies, they are accused of extravaganza,
and the President protests that he is not RESPONSE
BILE. Had they refused to vote the money demand
ed by the Government, want of patriotism would
have been ascribed TO them and they would have
been branded enemies of the country But, Mr.
Chairman, will proceed TO prove that the money
appropriated by Congress for the prosecution of
this war has been most sbamefuly wasted; and
will cite few instances of the lavish extravaganza
which charge upon the Administration In Sen

-
GJ'It would be very useless task to attempt to
refute the thousand fasehoods which put forth
in the unscrupulo us pander Of a corrupt Admins
tration published in this county. Most of them are
so bare faced TINT they can do no mischief They
may be safely left in the midst of an intelligent
community to sink to their own natural level, as
the phrenzied outpourngs of disturbed mind
aware of The coming retribution, and yet vany
endeavoring to turn it aside by the most reckless
mendacty. Witness the story of the British flag
at Lyndon. Probably no Van Buren, man, howev-
er isolated from political information other than
such as appears in the columns of that paper, could
have been deceived for a moment by absurd a
story as that a large body of American Wings cell
ebraring the emancipation of our Country from
British Tyranny by the patriotic Wings offs,
should hoist the American flag al half mast and
surmount it by The British flag. 1t poor lie
that could have deceived nobody, and must have
filed the minds of many Van Buren, men who have
some regard to truth and decency in conducting a
political contest, with utter loathing and contempt
70, the head and heart of him that could think so
meanly of their understandings as to expect to make
political capital out OF so contemplate trick
Well it has been retracted, and with Just the bad
grace of him who should be compelled restore a
stolen sheep its when detected in The
theft and before his return home should steal some
other artice for the Star being obliged to give up
the idea of the British flag, asserts that the red
s,reamer which 6oated in the breeze from the top
| of the Liberty pole, from the mast head of our
men CT war; Piratical flag, such as pirates
exhibit at mast head when roaming the ocean for
plumber And the hardy yeomanry of Caledonia
County that assembled there in hundreds to cele-
bra,e the birth day of our nation pirates were
they Shame on the poor tool of faction that can
thus outrage decency! No wonder that numbers
in every town are leaving thus supported
and raying with the people for reform.
