The following paragraph in the Ripley

notice until yesterday:
r"Does the Editor Of the George

in an article copied into his paper from
the Gin. Enquirer, purpOrting 10 be an
extract from 'the letter Of Mr.. Clay 10
the N. Y. Committee y is a vile LOcoFo.
CO fOrgeryf Such it has been prOnounc
ed By the wbig press-not a Shsdow OF
testimony has been addOced to support
its authenticity, and yet It goes the
rounds Of the party press, as genuine
extract"
When we copied the article and gave
our authority, We had not seen any con-
tFadiclion Of its truth; and even if we
had seen the assertion OF the whig press
that il was a forgery although we might
have hesIiatsd before publishing it, we
should NOT have been convinced that it
was spurious, without seeing a denial
OF its genuinenesS from some more au-
thentic source.

The counterfeit is also narrower, by the
margin line. than The genuine. The pub.
ic are cautioned 10 measure all our two
ldOlIar bills presented as the counterfeiIs
are we'll calculated TO deceive.
The number, also, will furnish means
Of detection. In all the twos issued BY
the Bank, it will be found that Except
the first one thousand issued at Indian
apoIis Branch, from one 10 one ibousand,)
the right hand, or State Bank number, al

ways IN the same hundreds and termin-
alton, with the right hand number, but
not in the same thousands. No two dol
