FORGERY

Some lime since that INSCRIPTIONS seeker tor
nOtoriety; yclept George Lippqrd, published a
letter signed by DR.. &c. G. Blackburn, a Tay-
lor Democrat, who advocated Gen. Taylor's
election on the stump in the state Of Georgia.
The ! o%co1oco papers published the letter with
great flourishing under the head of 8 another
rocantation.' The following from the Gcor-
gia Messenger, a highly respectable paper
will show that all these rejoicings have been
held over a barefaced forgery:
The Blackburn LeHer.-As an act Of COM
mon justice we beg leave to state the substance
Of a conversation which took place a few days
since between Dr.tL &C. Blackburn and one
of the Editors of this paper. In that inter
view the Doctor declared
/. That he had never written any such letter
as that published, purporting to be from him
self to Mr.. Lippard-that the letter was a for
gerry, and he presumed must have been penned
by some one as a burlesque upon Lippard's let
ter to Gen. Taylor. '~. '
2. That he, DR.. Blackburn, did vote for Gen
Taylor for the Presidency, and that he had new.
er said to any one that he regretted having
given such a vote.
or course this statement Of DR.. Blackburn
must be TAX en- as conclusive evidence that the
whole beautiful IabrIC erected by Mcssrs. Lip.
P%artahd Richie is based upon thin air. They
will have to discover some new point Of attack
on the administration. General Taylor is moi
the man to be frightened by such pop-gun
reports.
Let LiPPard insert few exclamation poins
after this Tevealmont and they will mean somo
thing more than they do in every line of his
printed works. Thus they stand as the pomp-
Gus tOmbstones Of some paupor thought here
they will mark the burial place Of what little
honorthe charitable might have supposed him
to possess, 1.i aA hs'i"a

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT Two hundred lbs.
Of earth were dried in an oven, and afterwards
put into a large earthenware vessel; the earth
was then moistened with rain water, and Twill
low tree, weighing five pounds, was placed
therein. Care was taken to prevent the addi-
ton of fresh earth. After growing for five
years the tree was removed, and found to
weigh one hundred and sixty:nino ponitds,
three ounces. The earth was then removed
from the vessel, again dried in the oven, and
afterwards weighed it was discovered to have
lost only about two ounces of its original
weight. Thus one hundred and sixty.four
pounds of lignin or woody fibre, bark, roots,
&c, were certainly produced, but from what
source? l5#i I'slfti

In some parts of South Carolina, they cele-

The New York correspondent Of the New
Orleans Crescent, In a recent letter, says:f
A proposition for uniting the two branches
of the party in this State is this morning pub
lished, and a tUnion Democratic Convention
is called, to meet at Syracuse on the 18th Aug.
next. 10 consult and adopt measures for the
restoration of harmony. The address in which
these suggestions are urged, declares the be-
lief Of its slgners that this State can give, at
the next fall election, a decided democratic
majority and that this county can give a ma
jOrity of five thousand in favor Of that party at
the SAINT time. In the way Of a declaration Of
principles it says:' We are agreed in our hos
tility to the State and National Administra-
tion-Tthat is what a Frenchman would call Que
grand principle, We are agreed in opposition
to a National Bank, q high tariff, a waste =.
full system of internal improvements by the
General or State Governments, corporate mo-
nopOhes, and the plander they effect! 4 y
We are opposed to the extension Of slavery,
and desire to see it arrested by all lawful and
constitutional means, while we repudiate any
attempt to interfere with tin those States
in which it now exists" ' ''."
If 'we' also agree as heartily in the selec-
ton Of candidates for high Offices, democracy
will be right endsup ; in this State after all.

A New INVENTION Isaac B. Ward, of Cam
den, N j., has constructed a wagon wheel
upon a novel principle, for which he is now an
applicant for a patent. The tire is of wrought
iron, and the'felloes also of iron, cast in seq
ments' SO as to be substantially screwed to the
tire. The spokes are of wood, and the hub Of
the ordinary construction. Mr.. Ward has made
several wagons with wheels Of this description,
and they have been in practical use for several
months. They can be made cheaper than OF
wood, and will probably outlast ten ordinary
wheels.-N Y. Organ. p.
