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.

March of the West.—Twenty-six years ago, and only one small building was to be seen in Buffalo, which now contains more than 20,- 000 inhabitants. 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 ell, Esq., Major George Shaw, B. H. Overby, Esq., Uriah Brown, Esq., Micajah Thornton, Sugar Bond, James Mi lican, Esq.. Jesse Matthews, Wil liam Seav, Capt. Samuel Knox, Charles Witt, I Clabourne Harris, Esq. | 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.

State Central Committee have published a spirited address “to the Whigs ol the Union,’, (o counteract the “crowing” of locotoca 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. The news from Canton, by the way of Eng land, it is stated in the Express, has given the holders of teas in New' \ ork great encourage ment, and some of them are holding for an advance of ten per cent.

Payment Refused.—The Philadelphia Ga zette says:—A merchant of this city having to 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. From the New Orleans Picayune of the 2 \th. 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. From the Bee of the same dale . 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. From the New 1 ork Times. 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.” The following eloquent and impressive letter from Mr. Senator Preston to the Whigs of Men don, Massachusetts, will be read with interest by his many “brothers of the great Whig family.”’ Ft defines the “ position” of the parties that now divide the country with great felicity and pcrcis ion : 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. From the Maysville Kagle,July 11. 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 will be the guardians of the guardians of the pub lic Treasury now!— Madisonian. J 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. From the New York Star. 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.” From Blackwoods Magazine. 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.
