FRAUD FALsEHOOD, AND FOR
gerry.

The destructives grateful for small favors.
1t was but the other day that they were parad-
ing letter from Mr.. James Henderson. of
'sSouth Bend" purporting to be a seceeder from
the wing party. 1t appears, however, from a
statement OF the editor of the South Bend Free
Press, that no such person as ssJames Hender-
son" lives, OF ever has lived, in that place. So
it seems, that the letter was foreery-of a
piece with the late forgery at Columbus, Ohio,
and the still later forgery Of the loco foco CEN
trail committee Of Louisville Forgery is evi
IDENTIFY getting to constitute the entire loco foco
capital in trade.
The same papers reported John Rowan, OF
Kentucky, as a seceeder. The LOUISVILLE Journal
asks to know what John Rowan is meant? Judge
Rowan is and has been, partizan; and is one
of MIR. Van Buren's Office holders
The same paper represented that the Hon.
Charles A. Wicklif had gone over to MIR. Van
Buren,, when the truth is, that on the very day
that the report Of this change was published in
the Richmond Enquirer, MIR. wickliff attended
great wing meeting in Henry county, Kenny,
and was one Of the speakers who addressed the
meeting.
The party that use fraud, falsehood, and for
gerry to keep up the dropping spirits of their
deluded followers, know the value of Amos
Kendall. We find the following notice Of Gov.
Wicklih's remarks, in western paper.

Gov WicLlihe gave his reasons for coming
there. Custom and public sentiment had as
signed to the executive, while in office, the duty
of remaining unconnected with the party meas
ures and elechoneering operations and discussions
of the day. To the general correctness of this
course he assented, but there were exceptions;
and his was one. The present crisis was
which called for all the influence OF honest men to
be thrown into the right scale. But an attempt
had been made by Shadrach Penn, of the Louis
vile Advertiser, to make political capital for his
party, by creating the impression abroad, that
he, Mr.. Wicklife, understood to be accom-
panying certain gentleman named Robert n.
Wicklife, very distant relation of his, in re-
markable political somerset he had lately made.
The similarity in their names had given that
writer the hint, and he attempted to aid his own
party prospects by eonfounding this Robert n.
Wicklifle, with the f'Old Duke" as he is famil-
iarly called, Robert Wickliffe, the Senator from
Fayette, who is brother to the present speaker,
and then to suggest, as rumor, that he, the Gov
ernor, was opposed to to Gen. Harrison, and pre-
fcrred Van Buren, to him; and that the said Penn
had copied from paper of another state, di-
rect averment of his said somerset, and had not
qualified it, though he knew it was false, and
that it had originated with himself.
The Governor said he had determined to at
tend this festival, to show by his presence, if not
by his voice, that he was for Harrison, and OPP
posed to Van Buren's administration; and he in
tended to go to all such gatherings were with
in convenient distance of the capital, when
his official business would admit it, in order, by
his presence, to counterfeit the impression thus
falsely designed to be maze on the public mind,
by this INSCRIPTIONS editor. He said that if it
were done by communication to a newspaper,
they would not copy it into their thousand and
one papers that had circulated the falsehood, and
thus whatever influence his name calculat-
ed to exert, however small it might be, (and
from his official position it might be more than
as a private individually it would be thrown into
the wrong scale.
