We have only space, to day, to refer to one
other article Of the Republican, which Ike the
others has a Horribly captivating heading.-"A
basc forgery and attempted Caud." This Is
dreadfully wicked world if we are to take the
Republicans captions, chronicles of passing
events This base forgery and fraud, gentle
reader, is nothing more than the innocent and
amusing parody upon the pronnncamento of
Toombs, Gentry and others-wIIch might
have been seen in any Of the papers, a week

party are refusing to support Pierce. The FIRST
resolution ofthe Democratic Convention, lately
held at Baltimore, declared that the American

what is so manilesly hoax.
