Another Whig Forgery Exposed,

AMOtHef NHAS Forgery EAPOscG!
It may not be generally known that Greeley G.
Co., of the N. Y. Tribune, as an offset to coun-
teract if possible, the great influence of the Truth
Teller, Pilot, and other Irish journals, who are
honestly disposed to put down the vile ISLANDERS
against patriotic candidate for the Presidency,
have just started Scott paper, very impudently
named the "Irishman,'' which is filled with the
most diaboliea forgeries and lies which the utter
ly shameless and depraved of the Whig partizans
can invent This game, however, is pretty we'll
understood already, and the Concord N. H. Patri-
o of the 7th inst, contains the following exposure
of the most shameless, Infamous forgery, in the
columns of the sIrshman,'' so called, that we ever
heard of in any political contest in this country
More Forgery. ~
A Scott campaign paper called the ssIrishman,'' 2
published in New York under the direction of
Slievegammon Robinson and Greeley, publishes
the following letter:
A LETTER FROM GEN. PIERCE.
CONCORD, N j. H., June 7th, 1852. .ss
My Dear Sir-Your telegraphic despatch in
forming me of my nomination by. the democratic
convention at Baltimore as the candidate of our
party for the Presidency, came duly to hand. A
landable ambition diyests the expression of ego
tsm, when ] say, that am more than honored
to be selected the standard bearer of our cause
in this great country ofours. We will go into the
canvass with every prestige Of success, account
of the part took as commanding officer in the
Mexican war, and we will gain great strength in
the Eastern and Atlantic States, because of my
uniform opposition in every public capacity have
ever had the honor to occupy, to the clamorous
demands of the western people for appropriations
for what they called their s.Harbor and River I'M
provements," but which in my view is merely
system of plumber designed to feed set of hungry
Galphins out of our national treasury.
The Papists will naturally be more or less OPP
possess to our ticket-but let them go. We never
could depend upon them with any certainty, and
they are bigoted set, that we can get along
without, better than with their members, governed
as they are By bishops and priests of the Catholic
church; and we have plenty of strength pidsom
them.
The constitution ofmy own State very properly
excludes these arrogant pretenders from holding
Office and we should rejoice that they voluntarily
leave our platform.
The South l consider safe for us at all events,
and it is thought by the most knowing politicians
of our party that we can so manage the canvass
as to get the free soil vote af the North or at least
good part of it, by promising portion of the
government patronage to some of their leading
men, in case of success. am very truly yours,
FRANK. PIERCE.
These infamous scoundrels pretend to have
copied this letter from Chicago paper published
in July, and say that it s'has been published for
eight or ten weeks in the papers," and that Gen.
Pierce has not denied its genuineness, and that he
dare not do SO. There is no doubt that this is the
workmanship oe their own hands, for it was never
seen or heard of here until it appeared in the
ssIrishman'' of the 9th inst But whether it is the
work of Robinson not, it is base forgery, made
up out of whole cloth. No such letter was ever
written by Gen. Pierce, or seen or heard of by
him. until it appeared in the sIrishman." 1t bears
its own contradiction upon its face, every intel
ligent man will see; but the infamy ofits authors
is no less ON that account. 1t is well known that
Gen. Pierce was not here at the time it purports
to have been written, and every line oft bears the
impress of forgery.
We copy this new forgery of these wretched
scamps only to exhibit to the country another in
stance of reckless and infamous conduct of the
federal leaders. 1t shows that they will stop at
no crime that they suppose will benefit their cause
