following card:
BASE WIG FoRGERY-NoTIcE TO THE
DEMoCRACY.--We understand that the.
whig franking and publishing committee
are now having printed at the office Of the
National lntelllgencer forty thousand copies
Of document headed THE SOUTH IN DAN
GER" purporEjng to be issued by tue Demo-
cratic Association Of this city. This is a
base forgery, We have authorized no such
use of the title OF our association to any,
document issued under the auspces Of the
whig Congressional frankng committee
If, therefore, the Democracy of the free
States should find any document OF the
character such as the title of this might in
dicate, in circulation amongst them, they
will denounce it as a whig forgery, and
treat the trick as it deserves. Thus will
the people of the country understand the
morals of the party We have to deal with
This trick of these political Munchausens
is on par with the RoOrback romance just
published by one of their leading journals.
1--WE believe it to be our duty to put the.
Democracy on their guard against this for
gerry; and we trust that the Democratic pa
pers throughout the country will republishl
this card.

Now these are the facts in relation to this
matter. A document of four pages, head-
ed THE South in Danger, "Read before
you Voie," ",4ddressof the Democratic As.
sociatioa Of Washington, ID. C." and signed
James TOwles, Chairman, and c. P, Seng-
stack, Secretary, was published at the Of
flee of the "SpectGtor," in this city. |
have reason to believe, that this paper was
prepared by the Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER;
certainly he carried large numbers of it in
person to the tolding-rOom Of the I. States
Senate, and superintended the enveIoplng
of them with a watchiul eye to prevent the
escape of a single copy; and, after the fold
ing was completed, had he whole, by his
| direction, sent his sboarding-house. Hav-
! ing received several copies OF this docu-
meut, and understanding that Mr.. Walker
Intended to circulate it only in the South,
and to prevent, if possible, its appearance
in the North, thought the surreptitiOus
and partial circulation of it would be a
fraud upon The American People. |, there
fore, sent to the office of the "SDectator"
(where it was printed to purchase thou
sand copies, which | intended to send into
the free States. The person applying was
first told that he sOuld have them, but on
the second application; upon the faith of
this promise, he was informed he should
not have them; and the copy which he
took with him, to show what he wanted,
was withheld from him against his con-
sent, and he was further informed that the
document was not intended to be circula'-
ed here. then carried one of the copies
which had been published at the "Specta-
tor" office, to the office of the InteIigencer,
and had an exact reprint of it struck off,
which am now circulating, and intend to
circulate, throughout this wide Republic.
1t is this reprint of a genuine Democra-
tic document, put forth under the direction
/ of Mr.. Senator Walker himselt-who has,
according to his own letter to Committee
ofthe Democracy of Tennessee, duties as
signed him at Washington by the Demo-
cratic party which forbid his absence, Jsee
