lux, &c,
The session ofthe Legislature common
ces this week. We adopt this occasion as
appropriate for few suggestions to the
democratic members in relation to the dn.
ties that will dcyolvc upon them in the
course Of the session.
The course pursued by few democrat
lc members, last session, in voting with
the coons on the question of placing rail-
road charters beyond the control ofthe Leg
lslature has met a disapproval from the de,
mocracy OF the state, so evident and open-
y expressed that it is not reasonable to
look for further disregard Of the wel-es.

"ROARBACK"-WHO WAS THE
AUTHOR OF THE FORGERY
ANOTHER COON LIE NAILED.


The 'coons have attempted to palm off
the Roorback forgery upon democrat
This attempt has turned out to be another
lalsehood, The Albany Argus says that
the person to whom the fraud is attributed
lis a coon," and upon that subject we find
the following in the New York Evening
Post:
"In relation to the Roorback fraud, we
have received the following communication;
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Dear SRI have been for some twenty
years well acquainted with the author OF
Roorback story, William Linn, of Ithaca.
1t is not true, as stated in the Ithaca
Chronicle, that Mr. Linn is a democrat; he
is and has always been wing. He is a
man of distinguished talent, and the author
of n good law work, "Lambert on Dover"
but for many years he was drunkard and
on promise of reformation the democrats
did elect him Justice of the Peace, But
he has, believe, been regular cores
respondent Of the Ithaca Chronicle, and an
avowcd whig during the whole period, |
do not write this for publication, but you
may, on authority, contradict the assertion
that it is Loco foco forgery"
Very respectfully, yours.
In accordance with the wish orthe writer
we have suppressed his name, but we may
say that he is a gentleman of high .espec-
liability in this city, whose word is album
dant evidence of the truth OF what he as
erts. 1t will be seen, then, that Mr. Linn,
who is given in the Ithaca Chronicle as
the original author orthe forgery, is not
"a democrat;' that his habits Of life have
been such that no conscientious man
would publish statement almost false
upon the face of it, on his authority; and
that therefore the charge of fraud reverts
to those, who knowing the circumstances
could yet have mqligniIy and hardIhood e.
nough to give the fabrication to the public
The Ithaca Chronicle, therefore, is i'm.
pIicated in a double faud. In the first
place, it was not honest to give such gross
and disgraceful libel to the world, on such
authority IN The second place, in order to
eXcuIpatc itself aud its wing friend of Alba.
nyi has made false representation Of the
circumstances under which the statement
was received The turpitude OF the orig
inal publication is quite equaled by that

The article is an eract copy of the

few years ago, with the exception of these
words: Unlike the Sweeds, the Germans,
the Scots, and the English" which are
added to make the article bear the harder

The foregoing is chccrtully inserted,
as intend all dcnals of the truth Of
charges published in this paper, where
the accused feels that he is injured, shall
be, My informant was Geo. 0, Adams, a
Clerk in the employ CT Ira Stewart of

misunderstanding of that part. did not
name the thing in the first place because
supposed there was anything criminal
in it, but to show that the Wing Party in
that town had not 50 much to boast of as

Der of ballotings had, Mr. Adams neither
denies nor ailirms what | said about it,
So that must pass as a misunderstanding
on the part Of somebody. There is lit
tie curiosity about Mr. Maxham's letter
which will touch upon. lie says,-it
was generally understood that he resign
ed the Office of Postmaster prior to the
clection-that he voted for the .4boHiion
candldate-that he (Moxham) did not
want the Office Of Representative, and
that after he was elected, he offered to re-
sign, if they would elect any other Whig
man! The curiosity is, that he should
resign the Office OF Postmaster Just at that
time, when he did not want the Office of
Representative, and that hc should vote
for the L'Jlriy candidate when he was
standing as Wig candidate, and last,
that the condition Of his rcsigning was.
that IVdig man should be elected in his
stead, when he had just said by his rotc that
the Liberty candidate was preferable to
any OF the other candidates, not cxccp-
ting himself! There is another thing
which | will name, and that is, twenty
days after election, in forwarding money
to pay for the Voice sent to a. johnson
of Shcrburne, Mr. Markham farksd The

resigned, | know not, and would like TO

opposed to the party which supported him,
when the only condition of his resigning
was that Wing be elected!
