The RooRBAck' FORGERY believe we
have at last got the whole history Of this forgery
from It's commencement to the end. It appears
that 1t had lis origin in hoax-that Mr.. Linn OF
Ithaca, in this State-a whig, and not locofoco,
as ne has been represented by some of the wing
papers, made the celebrated Interpolation in the
extract from Featherstonhaugh's book, and sent 1t
TO the editor of the ithaca Chronicle, wing paper,
for publication, with the express object, as Linn
alleges, Of discovering whether the editor of that
paper, "moral and religious, as he was allowed
10 be, would not, equally with others, publish any
fasehood, however gross, if he could thereby ef
feet political object" Altogether unaware OF
the fraud, he states the editor Of the village pa
per just named, published the extract, and from
his columns it was transferred to the Albany Pa.
triot, and from thence il was taken by Thurlow
Weed and adopted as his own. From the Eve-
ming Jou,nalit was at once copied extensively, and
has now been circulated all over the Union, doubt
less IN many quarters where the exposure of the
| forgery will never be made.

ry 1t would be difficult perhaps to obtain any
more striking illustration of the demoralizing effect
Of party spirit than this story affords The story OF

two OF fresh forgeres before the day of election.
"THE NATIVES. THE last meeting of the "na-
| tives' at Vauxhall showed some symptoms OF re-
turning spunk About two thousand persons were
| present, but by no means twenty thousand, as
some OF the papers state. This is sufficient, how
ever, to present new aspect in the approaching
| State election. The democrats, of course, will
nominate their candidates for all the national and
State Offices. The wings are proceeding in the
| same movement, and now the "natives" are no.
mlnatlDg their candidates. The only result OF
such conflicting tickets will be entirely PROSTATE
the wings and "natives," and give strong and
overwhelming majority to the democrats. The
wing and natve' tickets Must merge into each
other The two parties must mingle at once
The wings must adopt the identical principles of
the =" natives" with all heir intolerance, bigotry
and prescription, otherwise they will both be de-
feated.
We also perceive that another native" paper
Is about TO be started, and we should not be sur
prlsed to see two three more before next spring
The fact is, no party was ever split up into more
cfiques than are the natives" already
