Claws special MISSION together with The timely
exposure of Inc Birney Letter Forgery, and Of
some other kindred tricks Of the same description,

disrracefM effort made 6p J,mes Il. Polk in his
inaugural address, 10 identify the Wings with
the same oiious and infamous ianatcism. This
unmanly and nsidious attack, said he, merits. as
il al that time received the crecraiton oil every

The vote Of Ohio was probably carried Ia the
Birney letter forgery The State was flooded
