Whitehall, May l6H, 1871.
G. F. MITCHELL, THE NOTORIOUS FORGER
CAUGHT.
The steamer Whitehall brought to this place, this
morning, the notorious forger, MicheH, in The custody
Of the faithful and pr%aiseworthy officer Mr.. Boyer
lie was taken in Montreal, 6y Mr.. Boyer and others,
put in irons and Is now on his way 10 New York where
he will receive his meri,ed reward. lie was taken 10
the Clinton House, where he took breakfast, and then
conveyed 10 the Packet Boat for the south. The news
Of his arrival spread rapidly through the village, and
numerous crowds OF our citizens 1ocked together 10
catch a glimpse at him who has SO wanionly disgraced
himself and the people Of The Empire State. From ms
looks we Judge he must have felt rather cheap and in
vain did be attempt TO conceal bis feelings on the
Packet, by fumbling books and papers with one hand
as lie held il in the other, as if.i was lame, when in
fac, they were chained toge,heD unit. a more safe and
convenient place was provided for him IN a separate
apartment OPTto.

The House OF Representatives il enc,s.d in din
cussng the proper reference Of that portion of ,h.
Presidents Message, which relates to n Tariff
Whether 1t shall go to the Committee of WAYS and
Means, or TO the Committee on Manufactures. The
point IN controversy is very simple one itself but
the whole policy Of tho Tariff system il incidental
~ discussed, and various exrraCeous matters are
Iugged N. The expenses OF the last and present
Administration nre adyerted to the meaning of
The Presidents Message is cinvissed and disputed;
some strange absurdtIes-such ms protection il
Incompatible with revenue--Ire advanced and Mr.
A,heFlnn Of New Hampshire, again appears as the
champion Of the South.
On these several points, we refer the reader N
The puasent remarks of Mr. Stanly and Mr. Ran
dolph. Mr. J. w. Jones is welcnme tn sll the cIo,v
he has won Ivy his reference to the expenditures of
the last and present year. when due allowance is
made for the statement Of MIR Sanly. AMI oll
will he willing 10 hail MIR A'hcr,on as the S,uthern
champion, when tho same cius,ic cas,gator is done
with him. The s'r'nges, development, however.
Is the controversy rcsp.;,ing the Presidents mean
ng in the following pi5sige in the Message:
49, also, the Governm mt may be testified in So
discriminating by references to other considerations
Of policy connected with our m,nufac'urcs."
No one doubted, but that the President designed
by this passage to express the opinion, that duties
might he laid so to discriminate in favour of
manufactures, and at the snme time augment the re.
venue. This was The construction every where piy-
en- to it-for it moan this or il can mean noth-
ing. But no-a the world arc ont, in giving such
q construction. Mr. Wise does not read the Mes
sage as other people do. lie sees no protection in
the message. His optics are sustained 10y those Of
the official Gazettc-and between them, they TO-.
present his eTceiency in light totally d fTtrent
from that in which the message represents him, and
IN which his Cabinet proper regard him. But thi 9
is not the first only occasion, on which similar
line of conduct has been pursued. Il appears 10 be
part Of system Of tactics to obtain for him sup
ions. In this cnse, Tariff man has only to look to
the message to I've satisfied that his views are enter
tanned by the President-nnd an an'i.TariT man
need only rely upon the authorized assertions OF Mr.
Wise md tho Executive organ to he convinced that
nothing farther from his Exccency's Intention
than to give any countenunce to a tadfT. MIR Ran
dolph rather spiked this gun, by demanding to know
| IL any member was authorized to give this la,er
construction to the Presidents message. No on,
! replied.
There IS something in this species Of tactics 70.
Voting TO the man Of candour and Independence.
tlo could entertain more tolerance for an oper
error, pursued with franknoss and mnnlinoss-tb,r
for the right even, sustained by duplicity and ter
Vorsation.
