Contest

We understand that X. c. Shryock, the
defeated candidate TOR the Senate has given
notice, as the law directs, that he intends
10 contest Mr.. Miller's seat The proba-
bility is, that the Senate will be Republican
by a small majority; if such be the case,
there will be no doubt but Mr. Shryock
will be declared duly elected, and conse-
quently entitled to his seat, no matter what
the testimony may be. We are inclined to
the opinion that Mr. Shryock would not
wish the case referred to the people again,
particularly in his own county, seeing that
he run near hundred votes behind his
ticket. Were the race TO be run over and no
other officers to elect, we predict that Mr.
Miller's majority in Fulton county would
not be less than four hundred.

FORGERY!

The Marshall County Democrat of the
9th inst, contained an editorial article
charging Hon. Schuyler Colfax, and sever
al of the Republican candidates in this
county with being Know Nothlngs, and
fortified the charges with certificates sign
cd by several persons, who thereby ac-
knowledged themselves to have belonged
to that dangerous and despicable order
One of tt c gentleman, however, whose
name was attached to the last certificate
saws it is .base forgery" What are we
to think Of Ills? Here is Lis certificate,
which speaks for itself. Comment is un-
nccessary:--KarshoH County Republican.
STATE OF INDIANA, !
Marshall County,
This is to certify that the certificate pur-
porting to be signed by me and published
in the Marshall County Democrat. stating
that j. J.. Westervelt, Ii. r. Pershipg. and
others, were members of the Know Moth
ing Lodge, in Plymodth, is a base forgery,
and that such thing was never signed by
me, TO the best If nv knowledge.
TIMOTHY F. DEVENY.
Plymouth, Oct 81. 1856.
In the foregoing article, the Republican
INDUCES in some illfounded remarks in re-
ference TO the Democrat. which-were it
not that some per.ons. who are not acquain
ted with its character, might come to erro-
ncous conclusions-we should treat with
silent contempt.
So far as the charge that we made in re-
gard to S. Colfax and others being Know
Nothings, is concerned, the Republican
dare not deny lis truth in the face of the
evidence we presented to substaniiate the
charge. 1t was the editors privilege to
have known that the greater portion of the
citizens of Marshall county would pro-
nounce his charge against us of Forgery
slanderous (alsehood.
In reference to Mr. Deveny, it is only
necessary for us to say that we had no
age ,cy in placing him in his present unen-
yiable position before the public. That he
did sign the certificate published in the
Democrat, is a tut, that is proven by the
appended affidavit; Whether he signed
the one in the Republican, we 90 not know,
but would not be surprised if he did -
Messrs. Collins and Shafer are well known
in this community as men Of unimpeacha
bic yesaci;y; men who would not make a
public Statement: and publicly deny ii for
"eiyhly.fee carts -
The editor Of the Republican charged us
with having committed a forgery, and pro-
duced his evidence to prove it true; we
pronounce it base fabrication, without Il
shadow Of truth, and produce ouresi.lence,
