All Wrong.

We see in several Republican papers a
letter purportng to have been written by
President Buchanan to English, of lndi-
ana, to secure his nomination to Con-
gress. We have no doubt the thing is a
forgery, and very stupid one at that. 1t
Ewas probably got upas burlesque without
any design that it should be taken for any
thing else. But even this we do not think
right. No man is justified in appending
the name of another to q communication
which he did not write, even if it were
done to show that it was intended to be un-
derstood as joke. There will always be
persons who will not see that design, and,
taking the thing as a fact, will be deceived
thereby. In this instance, the letter is
such an one as Buchanan might have writ
ten, but which, we are satisfied, he never
did. And as an illustration of our posi-
ton, that it is wrong to publish pretended
letters, even as burlesque, which were
never written by the person whose name
they bear, We see in this case, that several
papers have copied and commented
upon it, evidently believing it to be genu-
inc. False impressions may thus be Gre
ated, that will not be corrected for years,
perhaps never. The greatest obstacle the
Republican party has to overcome is the
prejudice of the people, created by falsely
charging them with holding sentiments
which they never entertained, A true
cause should repudiate even the appear
ance Of prevarication to advance i'll

SAEGUINARY AFFRAY IN FLoR1DA.-
There has, it seems, been some difficulty
brewing between Lafayette Gay and Will
liam Standby for some time, and they APP
pointed to meet at Wacahoote, last Friday
to settle it. Accordingly they met, at
tended by ten or fiften friends on each side,
probobly most of them armed for deadly
strife. Gay brought double barreled- d-shot
gun. After some few words, blows en- =
sued pistols were drawn. Gay caught his
gun. fired in quick suc> ession at James
Gibbons and a: VIM. Gibbons, both friends
of Standby, and both fell dead. He then
clubbed his gun, and struck such vio-
lent blow at Standby, that he severed the
breech, locks and barrels upon him. He
is still alive, but there is bnt little expec-
tation of his surviving. Three were left
as dead on the ground within few feet of
each other, and one Of Gays brothers hob
bled off, shot through the leg. In the
general melee of dirks, knives, pistols,
and sticks, it is wonder others were not
killed."

PAPER in the State that does not cordially.

and many papers which heretofore opposed
the Republican ticket either in whole or

And on what, pray, do they predicate
the assertion Why, forsooth, there are
two or three American papers in the State,

The Mysterious Ways of PrOvi-
lcDce Explained.

The Richmond Enquirer" is the organ
of Virginia Democracy, and as such is
teaching the faithful brethren in the ways
Of Providence, as well as in politics. True,
to us poor beuighted fanatics, it seems as
if Providence might bc better employed
But that is doubtless owing to our utter
blindness and peryersity.
The Charleston Mercury" gently
hinted that Virginia was not as devoted to
the blessed institution of Slavery as South
Carolina, and some other Of the Cotton
States, that, in fact, contingencies might
arise which would induce Virginia's ar
dent affections for negroes TO become cool,
if not entirely transferred to white folks
At this insinuation of heresy, the "ln-
quirer's" religious feelings are deeply
wounded, and it breaches sermon, in
proof Of its orthodoxy, which fills nearly
five mortal columns of that paper of the
9TH inst, from which we give an extract
as a specimen of the whole. 1t says:
"In the socal. organization of this State
Slavery plays the same part that the heart
does in the human organism, and we
should as well expect to see man 1ive
and move and have his being without
the great central power of his existence, as
ta sec Virginia living and fulfilling the
ffAnctions OF her destiny without slavery.
Slavery is us much question of life aid
death with Virginia as it can he with any
of the Cotton States. Negro labor is rs
necessary to the cultivation of tobacco as it
can be to that of Cotton. The cultivation
of tobacco is nov extending into portions
of Virginia in which it has not been cult
vatcd for many years, and who knows but
that the SUPREME HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE,
whose ways are not our ways may
have caused the short crops Of acheat to
encourage tile more attended cultivation Of
tobacco and tile consequent increased ho d
Of african Slavery upon the necessities Of
Ills State?"
We might quote columns of such stuff,
but the above will suffice. If blasphe-
nous ldlldIlClSHl can excel IIldJ VIC uOu Y
know where to find it. Yet such is De-
mocracy, as taught by the Richmond "In-
qulrer," which is the most moderate Of
all The Southern papers-so much so that
it is almost entirely flied up with replies TO
its own more ultra co-partizans, in defend
ing itself from their suspicious of its un-
soundness on the "negro."
But isn't that profoundly reverential
exposition of the ways of Providence
which declares that God has CIT of tile
m"eless and pestiIemtial aOheot crop, IN order
to induce his humble followers to engage
in tie Jcnefcen' work Of raising toJacco,
tile Aandmoid of religion and soul Of civi-
Hzation thereby inspiring in their sancti-
fed hearts, Mat dirine love of money which
q0W crat them int that high spiritual
state in schich they aOiH infolli6ly persevere
in the holy service Of slave driving unto
the end ? Let us pray

REThe Southern Democracy are in q
peck of trouble. A large section of the
party are openly and fiercely in favor of a
dissolution Of the Union at once, and at all
hazards. Among those relied upon as a
leader in this mad CRUSADE Of folly and
treason, was Governor Hammond, of South
Carolina. Bat the Governor was elected
to the United States Senate, which is d
tight nice berth for six years to come,
which he IS not willing to relinquish, and
is therefore prepared, it seems, to postpone
a dissolution until his time expires, at least
on certain conditions. He has recently
been making speech at home, which is
fully reported in the Charleston "Mercury.''
He says that so long as the Democracy can
control the Government and use it as at
present, he thinks disunion should be post
poned. He proposes, however, tie per-
fecting of their plans for final rupture
in case the Democracy shall be defeated in
1860. But this does not suit the more
ultra fire eaters, and the Governor is sound
Iy denounced as traitor. That is, the
Governor is traitor, because he advised
the postponement Of scheme Of pre-
meditated Treason Ic language meant
now what il did when the dictionaries
were made, we would feel safe in calling

ers OF the Constitution AID freedom are

More FOrXcrIcS.

In oar last number we gave specimen
Of the way the Lccompton papers had
opened the campai yn by giving an exam
pile from the "Statesman, which pub
lished forged letter, purporting to have
been written by the Hon. John Sherman,
and m"anly refusing to retract the foul Ii
bel. The Statesman" has, however,
probably to avoid a prosecution, finally ac-
knowedged that the whole thing was a
base and groundless forgery. 1t would
seem that self-interest, if nothing else,
ought to put stop to such disreputablc
means. For surely the body of the people
cannot be sunk SO hopelessIy il, corrupt
ion, as not to resent the insult put upon
them by these papers, when the truth be-
comes known, as in time it must.
But. as if utterly infatuated, these same
papers are now publishing another known
Joryerp, and seem determined 10 brave il
out. Who started it we do not know. 1t
commenced in, and went the rounds of, tie
Lecompton papers, in this form:
"Thc people of Ashtabula Lake and
Gcauga, have proposed suitable recep-
tion and Acknowledgements OF the services
of Senator Wade, }. r.. Giddings and Ed
ward Wa lie, representatives III Congress, TO
come off at Painesvile, July Sd. Twelve
beautiful negro girls, each bearing a ban
ner representing the twelve States that are
true To freedom, will head the procession,
and occupy the stand. ."-I1shtoJuta Sen
HneL
1t will be seen that this precious morsel
IS credited to the Ashtabula "Sentnel, "
and there is not, probably, Lecompton
paper IN the State that did not publish it,
and many OF them with the most obscene
and vulgar comments.
The Sentinel" promptly pronounced
1t a vile torgery-tliat no such article had
ever appeared in its columns-nor was any
such scene ever dreamed of. These pa
pcrs, every one of them, knew it was for
gerry outri .ht-knc,0 they were uttering a
malignant falsehood-knew they were at
tempting 10 arouse the passions of THEN
readers to obtain their votes, by means.
which. if used to get money, would justly
consign them to the Penilcntiary.
One paper says:
"This Sentinel" is Republican pa
re-, and the organ of Giddings! The in
formation is official. Twelve "beautifuP
niggers in procession to honor Wade and
Gid lings, will be pretty and appropriate!
Freedom could not be represented without
a display of negroes in calico and hoops,
"beanlIlu'' and odoriferous! The poll
ties and religion of the leaders of the OPP
position amounts to nnthing without mig
gers. Negro is the Alpha and Omega OF
the Cheesdom Republican organs - and no
procession or reception is complete with
