EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPMENT"

" LA DEVELOPMENl.'
The Globe of Monday republishes from the
North Carolina Standard, a Locofoco sheet, what
is denominated an extraordinary development"
This grand discovery is nothing more than cir
cular issued by the Wing Central Committee of
Raleigh, the object of which is to excite spirit
of vigilance and activity among their friends. The
circular contains no unworthy sentiment, or any
expression, fairly construed, which any Wing
would be ashamed Of. But the Raleigh Standard
attempts to frighten the public by gross perver-
sion of a single sentence, in which the Wings
| are exhorted to watch their adversaries and pre-
rent frauds, as the law provides no remedy for an
illegal return; which must consequently stand,
unless overturned by revolution-a mere fact, a
trusm, by which the authors of the circular could
have meant no more than if they had declared
that unless the Wings 60 TO the polls they will
be beaten. Yet out of this simple remark, the
| Locofoco organs at Raleigh and at this place at
tempt to rear fabric of lies and nposture on the
of the election in order to frghten the people.
| The Central Committee Of Raleigh publish
card in the Raleigh Register of Friday, the 25th
inst, in which they unquafedly denounce the
imputations cast upon them by the Raleigh Stand
| ard as false in every particular. The committee
is composed of gentlemen of the highest charac-
ter-among them Judge Badger; and the con-
| temptible effort to impugn such men as the hatch
| ers of revolution against our free Government
could only originate in brain as fertile of such
expedients as that of the renegade editor of the
Raleigh Standard. Such story, of course, finds
| a congenial element in the columns Of the Globe
THE WAY THEY MAKE ROORBACKS %
Some three months ago the inscriptions Swiss-
Locofoco of the New York Plebean invented and
published what purported TO be letters, or circu-
lars, from the EARRINGS, AsHBURroNs, &C., of Lon
don, to this country, in favor Of free trade, offering
to furnish means to the Locofoco party, and all
that sort of thing. The Plebeian pretended that
it perpetrated the forgery simply as a joke upon
the Wings, for charging the Locofocos with ad
vocating British Interests. But its real object no
doubt, was to smother and mystify the subject,
and draw off the attention of the public from the
course which the Locofocos were pursuing.
This Locofoco forgery had its object, and prob
ably did its work of mysti6cation Now the same
inscriptions Roorbacks" have got up another,
which purports to be a circular addressed ITO
THE FREE TRADE PARTY IN THE UNITED STATES"
in favor of the election ito the Presidency of that
sterling and unfinchng tory, and proud descend
ant OF tory, James X. Polk" &C., &C.. which is
gravely published in the New York Evening Post,
and as graveIy copied into the Globe, as speci-
men of what can be done in the way Of forgery
They do not quite charge the Wings with this
fabrication, but evidently wish to convey the idea
that none but the enemies of " Democracy could
do such horrid work more formidable OBJ
ject with them, however, is to throw sand in the
peoples eyes by making the Wing charges
against the Locofocos, of advocating British in
terests-wbich are true-as ridiculous as possible.
The New York papers state that the Mayor of
that city has taken such steps as will, beyond all
doubt, prevent disturbances at the approachinu
