A viIIainous Forgery Branded

To the Editor of the n. Y. Trtbune-Sir:-On
my return home from the session of November
10, find nearly a hundred Democratic papers
from all sections OF the Unon sent me by
trends. containing vile aud scurrilous speech
against foreigners, said to have been delivered
by me in 1854 or 1857, and which appears to
have been published, simultaneously and by
concert, North and South, East and West in the
closing weeks OF the recent canvass.
need not refer to this wicked and malignant
lloel, now thaJ the election is over, were it not
that, having been so extensively published, from
Maine to Nebraska, and yOsched for as authen-
tic by editors who we're supposed to value their
character for veracity, some honest petsous of
one party or the other, whose good opinions
l value, might suppose it possibly true.
allow me, there ore, 10 sav, as / did publicly
In this State last month, when this calumny
against me first appeared, that it is, in every
word and syllable, forgery: that never
uttered such sentiments in 1854, nor in any
other year. and that the vulgar and scurrlous
language embodied in 1t never tell from nv
lips. nor were written by my pen, in that or any
other connection, on that or any other theme
Precisely this same speech was printed BY the
Democratic papers in this State number of
years ago, and then attributed to Mr.. Wilson,
who was Republican candidate for Congress;
but, having been thus used with effect in one
campaign, 1t was revamped in the recent canvass
with my name attached to it, by the same
editors, every one OF whom knew that it was
impossible for me to use such vile language in a
speech on any subject.
1t will doubtless be used against some other
Republican candidate hereafter; and / have felt
1t therefore duty to expose its history and its
fasity. Yours truly, SCHUYLER CoLFAx.
South Bend, Ind, Nov. a. 1868.
(The World published this vlllainous forgery,
well knowing it TO be such, Just before the elec-
ton, crediting it to the Ken'Ucky Yeoman AS
II probably made few votes by the fraud, while
1t had nothing OF character to lose, the ope-.
ration seems to have resulted in a net profit of
so many votes. Editor 1rtbune.)
