The Forged Circular. The Federal Union.
The Fcdeial Union considers our exposure of
its “ Unblushing Infamy" in publishing the forged
Circular, a u foul attack and indirectly admits,
because it docs not deny, that it was published
with a full knowledge of the fact, that the Circu
lar had been charged to be a forgery, and the truth
of tli? charge had been confessed by the individual
who admitted himself the author of the forgery.
That the Union knew these things, is conclusively
proven, by the proof it now introduces to justify
the publication, and its alerted belief that the
is genuine. W e pass over its effort to ef
fect the force of our article, with a certain portion
•of its readers, by a contemptible allusion to the
course this paper thought proper to pursue under
v its former Editor, toward General Nelson, as un
worthy of a notice, and a Very appropriate trick
for a print that would knowingly publish a forged
Circular.
If the Federal L T nion was conscious that the
Circular was genuine, and that it was not forged
by a Van Buren man, as it affects to believe, why
•did it withhold the evidence which we produced,
showing that it was a forgery, and that the forger
was a Van Buren man, according to his own ad
missions. This course would not have suited that
print; it would have shown to its readers its “un
blushing infamy and to what it would resort to
accomplish the purposes of its party. Such a
■course would have placed it on an equality with
the forger himself, in the estimation of every can
did reader of its party, and hence its fear to give
it publicity.
The facts in the case are summed up in a few
words. A circular was issued, purporting to be
from the Whig committee of Columbus, Ohio, and
as soon as it was seen by the editor of the Dayton
Journal, a Whig paper, published a considerable
Sistance from Columbus, he published it, and bold
ly pronounced it a forgery. And as soon as it was
seen by the committee themselves, they repeated
ani published the charge. An investigation took
place in the presence of the editor of the Ohio
Statesman, the Federal Union’s principal witness,
which led to the detection of the forger, and this
veritable editor aided to ferret out the man, because
suspicion had rested upon himself; and lo and be
hold, when the forger was detected, he admitted
that he was guilty, and that he belonged to the
Van Buren party. And tnen the editor (Medeary)
cf the Ohio Statesman, in whose presence the in
vestigation had been carried on, in order to avoid
the disgrace which must necessarily, in some de
gree, attach to his party, had the hardihood to as
sert that he believed it a mere trick, and that the
author, a member of his own party, had made the
confession to relieve the Whig committee from odi
um. Verily he was a very generous Van Buren
man, and we would recommend to the Federal
*-* Union to see if it cannot find a similar “s cape
goat;” he might relieve it from an unpleasant di
lemma.
Below is the Card of the Committee, which con
cludes our comments upon this disgraceful trans
action.
A Card.
The Harrison and Reform State Central Com
mittee have learned that a printed circular pur
porting to have been is=ued by said Committee,
headed,
CIRCULAR: — (private and confidential.
Signed and dated as follows:
“ 13y order of the Central Committee.
<0 ALFRED KELLEY, Chairman.
* Columbus, At ay 19, 1810.”
Has been forwarded by mail, to persons in va
rious parts of the State, through the Post Office
in this ciiy. This pretended circular was never
seen or heard of by any member of the Commit
tee until a copy was turwarded us from Dayton ;
and we, the inemi>ers of the Committee, now in
Columbus, declare it to he a base forgery.

Dr. Mosch Wad del..
\ groat man lias fallen a master spirit has de
parted in the person of Dr. Aloses Waddel, who
died on Tuesday, the 21st inst., at the residence of
his Son, in Athens. It Would be presumption, in
: deed, in us to attempt to pourtray even faintly,
the many virtues of this great and good man. We
leave that to other and abler minds. But we may
in truth say, few men have occupied a higher sta
tion in the estimation of his friends than did Dr.
Waddel, and no man will be more sincerely re
gretted by the numerous students who have been
reared under his discipline, and enlightened by the
aid of his powerful and vigorous intellect. As a
Preceptor and Divine, he has been eminently suc
cessful, and pre-eminently useful —and having
tilled the measure of his glory, has been gathered
to the tomb at a ripe old age amid the blessings of
thousands.
Meeting in Jackson County.
Agreeably' to previous notice, a meeting of the
anti-Van Buren party of Jackson County', was
held at the Court House in Jefferson, on Saturday,
the 2. r )lh instant.
On motion of Giles Mitchell, Esq., Alajor Ed
ward Storeyg was called to the Chair, and James G,
McLester, appointed Secretary'.
Giles Mitchell, Esq., in a few appropriate re
marks, explained the object of the meeting, and
moved the appointment of a Committee o-f twelve,
to report Resolutions, and to appoint suitable per
sons to represent them in the Macon Convention.
Whertunpon, the Chair appointed, Giles Mitch

| Thj Committee having retired a few minutes,
i made the following report:
j Whereas, Alartin Van Buren and William Henry
Harrison, are now candidates before the people for
1 the highest office within their gift.
I And whereas, we, the citizens of Jackson coun
j tv, from experience, know that Martin Van Bu
ren’s administration, in most of its leading mcas
: ures, has been violative of our constitutional
| rights, and we, confiding in neither the promises
; of the said Martin, nor of his Cabinet for redress
Jof our wrongs; and whereas, we have found
1 William Henry Harrison on the most momentous
ouestions of Southern interest, stand up manfully
and patriotically' in our defence, blasting personal
popularity, and in opposition to the will of his con
stituents. And we believing that we are called
1 on by' gratitude to our ancestors, attachment to the j
Cons'itution, and love to our posterity',give Wil
liam Henry' Harrison our undivided support.
Resolved, That we cordially approve of the pro
ceedings of the June Convention, and their nomi-
J nations of the Electoral and Congressional tickets,
meet our decided approbation, and that we pledge
ourselves te use all honorable means te ensure
their election.
Resolved, That William H. Harrison is entitled
to the support of the South, having made greater
sacrifices for Southern Institutions, than any other
man now living.
Resolved, That the system concocted by the Se
cretary of War, and recommended i y Air. \an
Buren, to organize two hundred thousand citizens
j into a Standing Army, is a flagrant violation of the
Constitution, and on the part of the President, a
j gigantic stride to despotic power.
Resahed, That the decision cf Martin Van Bu
ren in the case of lieutenant llooc, is better evi
dence of his real feelings on the subject of slavery
than all he has written or said.
On motion to adopt the foregoing preamble and
; resolutions, B. If. Overby, Esq., made a short but
! animated, sensible, and eloquent speech, in which
j he exposed, and lashed the abuses of the adminis
tration with great severity, and triumphantly de
fended General Harrison frem the vile and unman
ly abuses heaped upon him by the 1 Lunds and ser
vile tools of the powers that be. After which,
they were put to vote and unanimously adopted.

The N. Y. State Central Committee have
published a spirited address “to the Whigs ol the

federalism,and to assure the country that the
Empire State is safe for Harrison and liberty, by
a majority of 12,000 to 15,000.

Payment Refused.—The Philadelphia Ga

pay duties on goods, purchased of a broker a
draft at sight from the Treasurer of the United
States on the Collector of the Customs
which was refused payment.

Louisiana Election.—Third District.
By the steamer Jinan Boroihmc, arrived last
evening from Shreveport, we have received re
turns winch render it all but certain that Moore
is elected. The Natchitoches Herald, a Locofo
co paper, gives up the election of Winn, and re
commends him lor U. S. Senator. The lowest
reported majority for Moore is 47—some say as
high as G 5.
Winn’s majority in Claiborne, by the official
returns, is 143; in Caddo, 8. The official return
from Union has not been received, but all hands
agree that Moore is elected.
Edwards and Morse, the Eocofoco candidates
for the Legislature from Natchitoches and Caddo*
have been returned, heating Marye and Blanch
ard, the Whig candidates. The vote stood —
Edwards, 620 Marye, 493
Morse., 673 Blanchard, 458
Col. Friend, Eocofoco, has been returned to
the Legislature from Claiborne.

Final Result—• Judge Moore Elected.
Late last evening we received returns from the
third district, by the arrival of the Brian Bo
roifime, which settle the question. Judge Moouk
(whig) is unquestionably elected by the admis
sion of a locofoco organ—the Natchitoches Her
aid. That paper states unofficially the Moore’s
majority is sixty five—others report it at fifty
five. The result is certain—the only doubt ex
ists es to the actual majority. Claiborne gives
Winn 143. Caddo gives him 8. ’Plus leaves
Moore 134 votes ahead and Union a small par
ish, only to be heard from. We congratulate
the republican party on this glorious result, the
more glorious because it has been achieved in
spite of numerous and highly difficult obstacles.

The Treasury Bankrupt.
Two drafts, drawn by the Navy Agent for the
Pacific, on the Secretary of the Navy, the one
for $30,000, and the other for SIO,OOO, accepted
by “J. K. Paulding,” were protested for non
payment on the 15th instant. Mr. Van Bureu
boasted in his message, and his organs and agents
have over since taken occasion frequently to as
sert, with an air of triumph, that amid all the
fluctuations of state and individual credit, and
notwithstanding all the derangements of the cur
rency, the faith of the government to its creditcefc.
has been scrupulously preserved. Within ihe
last month the drafts of the government on i-fts
Sub-Treasurers, have been protested inseveralm
stance—the amounts varying from ten dollars to
ten thousand; and now, byway of turning the
tables, the accepted drafts of an agent on the
government to the amount of forty thousand dol
lars, arc protested : so that it seems agents and
principal are like bankrupt. Were the Bank
rupt Law now before Congress we would sug
gest a clause to subject the Treasury of the Uni
ted States as well as other banking institutions to
its operation. Jt has suspended specie payments
and we know not why it should claim exemption
from the general principle. “ Sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander.”

Mr. Preston’s Letter.
Washington City, June 16, 1840.
Hear Sir, —With an high estimate of the com
pliment implied in your note to me, I beg you in
my behalf, to assure the Whig Republican Asso
ciation of Mcndon.of my earnest wishes for the
successful attainment of their purposes. The
condition of public affairs imperiously demands,
from every patriot, his utmost exertions to effect a
change of men and measures.
JT.ings have come to that pass, when it would
seem superfluous to speculate upon the political
principles of the party in power, or to argue con
cerning them whether they be right or wrong—
one thing is ceitain. the country has been ruined
under its administration. To the question how
has the country been governed, lot the condition
of the country answer. Has its commerce been
extended] Have its manufactures been increased!
Is its agriculture prosperous—its currency sound?
Is its credit firm ? Great and disastrous changes
have occured in regard to these important inter
ests, during the domination of our present rulers;
and although they may vainly endeavor to exon
erate themselves from the charge of having pro
duced them—they cannot deny they have failed
to avert them.
But there are other questions of a searching
measure, which when put to them, they stand
mute. We have asked them whether they have
not to managed the finances that the income of
the Government is diminished by two-thirds, and
the expenditures increased three fold ? Whether
they have not so managed our Indian affairs as to
embroil us in war,and whether they have not so
conducted that war as to occasion the expendi
ture of thirty millions—as to expose our citizens
to continued butenery and massacre, and as to
have a portion ot our territory conquered and re
tained by savages? \et notwithstanding the
general desolation of the country and the failure
of every department of the Government, they
have the hardihood to claim our confidence.
How such an administration came in, and the
means by which it proposes to retain power, are
worthy of inquiry. The President, without a
reputation for ability, or any pretence of public
service was appointed by his predecessor. He
did not enjoy a vicarious popularity, but was put
in office by the mere power of Gen. Jackson. It
was in this way that became in, and the means
employed to re elect him are not less dangerous
in oil free institutions.
He is supported by party organization and an
army of office holders—the Government has ta
ken the field against the people, and this is the con
test in which we are engaged. The mercenaries
of the President are stationed throughout the
whole country, to ravage and subjugate it—an or
ganized and disciplined corps, ever vigilant, ever
active and ever obedient to the command ot its
officers.
It is because, WE THE PEOPLE, arc thus
engaged in such a contest against the Govern
ment power, that wc arc Whigs—Whigs in the
true and full meaning of the term —Whigs as our
ancestors were when they struck for liberty at
your Bunker Hill and our King’s Mountain.
When the daring usurpations of the Executive
were exhibited, by his seizing, without author
ity, upon the public money, and holding it with
out sanction of law, the Whig party was formed
and its name assumed. It rested upon the broad
sentiment which breathes through all our history
and pervades all our institutions —of lore law,
and hostility to prerogative. By this sentiment
and all the sympathies and associations which
belong to it, the Whigs are bound together, and
wherever one is found within the wide border ol
our country, 1 hail him as a brother.
Ifsuccess awaits its efforts, as I believe it does,
it will come into power upon the pledge ot cir
cumscribing Executive influence, of reinstating
the Constitution, and with a healing and conser
vative spirit, to preserve and cherish all the insti
tutions and great interests of the country.
I am, dear Sir, with great respect,
Vour obediedt servant,
WM, C. PRESTON.
John Geo. Metcalf, Mcndon.
No go !—Such is the desertions in platoons,
regiments and whole divisions, from the Sub-
Treasury troop to the Harrison standard, that a
very natural degree of alarm prevails. In Col
umbus, Indiana, (unfortunately the great Hoosier
State) an attempt was made to knab a good
democrat of the Harrison stamp. The fallowing
is his rebutter , from the Columbus Advocate:
Take Notice. —Mr. George Smith, of this
county, informs us that it has been currently re
ported by some of the Van Buren men of this
county, that he had changed his political senti
ments from Harrison to Van Buren. Mr. Smith
requests us to inform the Van Buren party gen
erally, that the assertion is untrue, in letter and
in spirit; but on the contrary he will vote the en
tire Democratic Whig ticket at the coming elec
tion.
There has just been published in our city a
beautiful lithograph of the Ba.tle of the Thames.
By direction and description, the artist has been
enabled to represent the main events of that deci
sive contest. Gen. Harrison and his brave asso
ciates, not forgetting Colonel Johnson, are seen
among the combatants. The picture was shown
to Col. Johnson, within a week since, at Wash
ington, white yet in proof. When the artist
desired to know of the Vice President if his po
sition of the officers were correct, he observed—
-4 Chiefly—but some of them, like Harrison, are
in points something too prominent, and where
their duty did not call them. General Harrison,
it is true did not lead the charge, hut he is and
ever has been owe of the bravest men in this coun
try. In that Battle, he tens just where be should
be; and General Washington himself, had he
been there, could not have acted better or more
bravely, than Harrison did !’
To the perfect truth of this eulogium, our in
formant, who heard it himself, is willing to be
‘ qualified.’ Let us ask the Destructives who are
busy decrying General Hcrrison, to ponder it
well.—Truth is mighty, and must prevail— Phil.
Gazelle.

Remtniscenses.—Captain John Fowler, of
Lexington, an old gentleman now in his dotage,
has recently certified that Gen. Harrison was a
black-cockade Federalist in 1798. In 1813, fif
te -n years afterwards, Capt. Fowler was the pre
siding officer at a dinner party given to Gover
nor Shelby, in Lexington, at which the following
toast was drank, 44 amidst the acclamations of
the company,"' who were democrats of the Jef
ferson school, good and true:
44 The commandtr in Chief of the North
Western Army: The Favorite Son of the
Western Country.”
A 44 hlack-cockade Federalist” the “favorite
Son of (he Western Country !” Think of that,
yc democrats.
The Bill to keep the keepers.— ln the
wreck of business, public and private, which has
been left behind, the bill for the more effectual se- f
curity of the public money, by providing penal e
nactmenti against defaulting Sub treasurers, was
lost. This measure was brought up in the Sen
ate, by Mr. Wright, soon after the Sub-treasury
hill passed, and its passing was urged as indis • I
pcnsible to the safety of the public money,- it i
passed the Senate, but was never once mentioned
in the House of Representatives!
“Quis COSTODIET 1 I.LOS custodes!” Who i

Fhe Territories. —The National Intelli- '
gencer says ; —No hill whatever bus passed at
this session for the benefit or behoof of the Ter
ritories of the United States. This batch of hills
had been reached yesterday in the House of Re- j
presentatives ; for a time there was hope that at |
least such ot them as were not objected to, miaht ,
pass in time to become laws. But the House |
had determined, by a vote on the preceding eve- 1
ning, that the Speaker should adjourn the House
at 2 o clock; and the session expired in the
midst ot the calling ot the yeas and nays upon a
question arising out of one of those bills.”
OX/* The loco focos insist that Mr. Van Buren
is no abolitionist. Well, suppose he is not. If
a President goes for negro suffrage, sanctions the
introduction of negro testimony into courts of
Justice, opposes the admission of any new slave
18tate into the Union, and declares that Congress
has a right to let loose all the slaves in the Dis
trict of Columbia, what consolation can it he to
the people of the United States to be told, that
he is not an abolitionist.—Louisvilie Journal.
is not Mr. Calhoun a man of truth ?— Globe.
If he is, you arc a liar; for you said, three or
four years ago, that he never spoke the truth
when falsehood would serve his turn.—Louis
ville Journal.
Every Southern man who, after all that has
passed, can bring himself to vote for Martin Van
Buren, deserves, whenever he goes to the polls,
to find himself elbowed by free negroes worth
$250 each; and, whenever he goes into a court
of justice, to be testified against by negro wit
nesses.—Prentice.
A big black lie was trumped up by the editor
of the Louisville Adveitiser, respecting (he Tip
pecanoe celebration in Indiana. He said 44 there
were at least one thousand negroes in attendance,
decorated with Harrison badges, and headed by
five negro delegates from Tennessee, bearing
appropriate abolition devices.” The Louisville
Journal could not stand so big a lie as this, and
forthwith mounted the black liar, and forced
him to retract.— Ohio State Journal.
A destructive hail storm passed over the towns
of Bloomfield, Canton and Simsbury, in this
county, on Sunday morning last. We learn that
hail stones fell as large as hazlenuts, and that the
damage done to buidings and vegetation is very
great. In some houses, from one to two hundred
panes ol glass were broken.— Hartford Courant.
Admissions. —The Pennsylvanian (V. B.)
pays it is a well-known fact that the friends ot
Harrison have rarely beer, more active, or more
complete in their party organization, then they are
at present; while the Van Burenites in this im
mediate vicinity, allho’ confident of their slrengl ,
are becoming careless and inattentive. Jhe
hard cider movements, then, are not likely to be
laughed at much longer. Our neighbor appears
to be of the opinion, that the thunder-peals of
popular sentiment should rouse the Loco I' ocns
from their inactivity and stupor. It is entirely
too late. Van Burcrnsrn is every hour becoming
weaker and more odious to the great mass ot the
community.
We have at command the names of thirl-five
changes to Harrison and reform in a single neigh
borhood in Warren county. A gentleman in
Fayetteville writes to his friends in this city,that
he can place bis finger upon twenty five happy
converts in Lincoln. In the VV estern District,
one of the most eloquent leaders, heretofore, of
the Administration cause, is off, if rumor be true,
and has pledged himself to lake the stump for
Tip, and Tyler, whenever our Electors in his dis
trict become the least fatigued. The gentleman
referred to, we know was spoken of for Congress
against the Hon. H.C. Williams two years ago.
These “byway of sample.” —Nashville Whig.
A Sign Indeed. —The Van Bureu Conven
tion in Yates county, (\. Y.) have denounced
Locofocoism and the sub-Trcasury in the most
decided terms ! Henceforth Yates county goes
as one man against this odious Federal measure.
The Yales County Whig, published at Perm
Yan, avers that every Delegate to the Conven
tion has heretofore acted with the. Van Duren
party. “ Boys do you hear that !”
So we sat, —We cut the following from the
columns of an exchange paper, the other day, but
have forgotten what one ;
“Gl KME TOOK ARM. We note ill SCniC of
the papers a disquisition upon the propriety of
ladies taking the arm of those gentlemen w ith
whom they walk. We coincide with the majo
rity that it is perfectly proper and correct. A lady
should never walk with a gentleman of whom she
is either ashamed or afraid, and as his company
is required frequently, as much for his protection
as for his society, we cannot see a single valid
reason why she should not accept his arm. As
one of our exchanges observes, they cannot say
shr- is engaged to any individual one, provided
she walk thus with all; and walking thus, she
could evidently enjoy Letter protection, keep up
the current of conversation with less interruption,
and yet not necessarily infringe one single rule
of delicacy or salutary reserve. We go in for it
by all means, and hope it will become as fashion
able, as it as natural, and must ptove advantage
ous.

Meiaxchulv and deli her ate Suicide.—
One of the most distressing cases of cool premed
itated self-destruction of an individual whose
fine feelings, it would appear, Avere wrought upon
by evil detainers and assassins of reputation to a
degree that made life insupportable, was that of
Mr. Dale, Cashier of the Bank of Columbia, in
Tennessee. A letter of his left behind, dated
July 3d, furnishes this sad story—all growing, it
appears, out of a deficit of §2OOO in his cash ac
i count, of which he declares himself innocent.
If so, the authors of his crime have cause to be
stung with biller remorse at the misery they
have inflicted on his family.
“ As to the robbery of the Dank in 1339, I
know nothing about it more than it was robbed
by some persons to me unknown, and who is to
me yet unknown ; true, I have suspicions of the
person, but not as I conceive sufficient to au
thorize me to name any one. It ts exceedingly
painful to be driven to the necessity of self-de
struction ; Lul such is the inevitable necessity in
my case that it cannot be dispensed with—such
flagrant injustice has been done me re-ccntly by
a body of respectable men, occupying an import
ant trust, is more than I can bear. I now have
nothing left to live for, as I cannot be of any
service to my family. It pains me to leave them
in penury ; it is also exceedingly painful to me
that I leave my friends involved to such an ex
tent on my account—these things have been
brought about by a combination of circumstances
over which I had only partial control. I went
into the bank reluctantly; and I do most sincerely
wish that I had never had anything to do with it
—regrets do no good now. I wish no funeral
solemnities of any description to be had over my
poor frail remains—simply consign them to their
mother earth, there to rest, regardless of tho
storms, troubles, and ills of this present life.
Adieu to all that I hold dear on earth. I have
done some good to my fellow men, but I have
also done a great deal of harm, though uninten
tionally. E. W. DALE.”

Jerusalem.
! Vast as is the period, and singular as are the
changes of European history since the Christian
ora, Judea still continues to he the most interest
-1 ing portion of the world. Among other purpo
j ses, it may be for the purpose of fixing the gene
ral eye upon this extraordinary land, that it has
been periodically visited by a more striking suc
cession of great public calamities than perhaps
! any other conspicuous land of the East, it has
! been constantly exposed to invasion. Its ruin
: by the Romans in the first century did not pre
i vent its being assailed by almost every barbarian,
1 who, in turn, assumed the precarious sovereignty
of the neighboring Asia. After ages of obscure
misery, a new terror came in the Saracen inva
sion, which, under Arnrou, on tho conquest of
Damascus, rolled on Paiestine. A seige of four
months, which we may well conceive to have
abounded in horrors, gave Jerusalem into the
hands of Kalip Omar. On the death of Omar,
who d cd by the usual fate of Eastern princes—
the dagger—the country was left to the still hea
vier roisgovernment of the Moslem viceroys a
race of men essentially barbarian, and commuting
their crime for their zeal in proselytism. The
people, of course, were doubly tormented.
A new scourge fell upon them in the invasion
of the Crusaders, at the beginning of the 12th
century, followed by a long succession of bitter
hostilities and public weakness. After almost a
century of this wretchedness, another invasion
from the Desert put Jerusalem into the hands of
its old oppressor, the famous Saladin, expelling
the last of the Christian sovereigns, took posses
sion ot Palestine. Alter another century of tu
mult and severe suffering, occasioned by the dis
putes of the Saracen princes, it was visited by a
still more formidable evil in the shape of the
Turks, then wholly uncivilized—a nation in all
the rudeness and violence of mountaineer life,
and spreading blood and tire through Western
Asia. From this date (1317,) it remained under
the dominion of the Ottoman, until its conquest,
a few years ago, by that most extraordinary of
all Mussulmcn, the Pacha of Egypt—a dreary
period of 500 years, under the most desolating
government of the world. It is equally impos
sible to read the scriptural references to the future
condition of Palestine, without discovering a
crowd of the plainest and most powerful indica
tions, that it shall yet exhibit a totally different
aspect from that of its present state. Enthusiasm,
or even the natural interest which we feel in this
nation, may color the future to us too brightly"•
but unless language of the most soleninVmtl!
uttered on the most solemn occasions, and by
men divinely commissioned for its utterance, is
wholly unmeaning, we must yet look to some
powerful, unquestionable, and splendid display
of Providence in favor of the people of Israel.
