THE LEFABRICATIONS.

THE OGLE FABRICATIONS.
The Pennsylvania copies the following
article from the Western Union Democrat
a journal which is in position to be well IN,
formed on the subject of which it speaks, and
which has standing to support its state
ments:
OGLE's SrEEcH his last illness and deah.
The last moments Of this mans life we've
melancholy For several days before his
death, his mind was greatly troubled in view
of his political course in the presidential can
vass. In conversation with political and
personal friend but few days before bis de-
mise, he remarked that great injustice was
done to Van Buren, in 1S4U-that the speech
about the extravagance of his Administration,
attributed to him was not true--that he never
delivered such speech-that il was not his

injustice they had done him and MIR Van
Buren,, and requested iheHIio correct the err

they did, that it would njusas4he whig cause
Upon being interfogated Fpa,ticularly as to
the truth or lalsehood of The speech, he readi-
ly admitted that it was full of gross errors and
ia!sehooJs from tue be2inningt to end, but that
he could not now help it.
We cannot tiud wo'ds to express con-
tempt OF the base and unprIncip!ed clique-the

the whole party, writing out speeches contain

cula,ion to them as having been delivered i'll
Congress by some distinguished member OF
that body; resorting to every species OF i'll

istra,ion too pure to have fellowship with such
political knaves.
To this explicit statement vouched by the
editor of the Union Democrat on the anhori-
ty Of ga political and personal friend of Mr.
OgIe,' the National intelligencer responds in
the following leading editorial paragraph:
''With less than its usual discrimination,
the Pennsylvania has given currency, i'll its
generally respectable coIumns, to a ridiculous
hoax, copied from another paper, the very
ahsurdiy of which should have warned the
editor OF the Pennsylvania against being in
s.runeniaI in circulating such story We
refer TO a statement respecting the celebrated
speech of the late Mr Oole, delivered III the
House Of Repfese utatives i'll 1910. which, it
is SAID in the hoax referred to, that Mr. Ogle
denied Oh his death bed having delivered say
ing that = it was got up by the Nblg Ceutra |
Committee at the city of " ashln 2tnn, and bis
name put to it author that he immediately
informed the Comuiitee OF the great Injustice
they had done to h:a. and Eir Van Bufen,'
&c. So far from, there being any foundation
for this story, it Is within the knowledge OF
every then member Of The Home of Repre-
sen.atves that the speech was delivered >
ported aud ii is within our persona! know
ledge that the report of ii was the work OF Mr.
Ogle himself, aud was from beg in ing to end
written by his own hand and that, If any
change made in the report from his own
frs, draught. II was through the persuasion OF
i,iends to soften the St, efi,y Of some of the
passages. 1t follows, of course, that the whole
Of hir Osie's alleged statements during hi-
g last moment>,'' Is, 50 far coucefnS the au-
hen'ici'y OF his reported speech, a pitifu and
contemplate fabrica,ion.''
We are amazed ii, the ha dihood of this as
