The Cincinnati Gazette of the 28lli, announces that a letter was received in that city the day before, enclosing handbill issued from the office of the New Era, a Van Buren Federal paper published in New York, though urportinglo come from the Emancipator, an abolition paper. This Extra gives a forged correspondence between Messrs. Tappan, Lcavett and Dresser, leading abolitionists, and Gen. Habrison, in which the Goneral Is made to say, after declaring that "Congress has full and complete power to legislate on all subjects relating to the District of Columbia, and should use that power by abolithing tlatery in the Dittricl" "You are aware, gontlemen, that this is a delicate subject for the peace of the south, and whatever is one snould be done with much caution. You pro-ably have seen mr letter to Mr, Lvons of Virginia. You will of course know what kind of estimate to place upon that, written as it was, to a Southern man and a slaveholder. I have refused, gentlemen, to make promises or pledges to any great extent, during this canvass; but the great contest is so near at hand. 1 have no hesitation in declaring the above as mv sin cere sentiments, and hope you will find them to accord, least 111 part, will your own." The following letter to the Editor of the Cincinnali Republican, will put this shallow imposition in its true light: Cincinnati, 21th Oct. 1810. Dear Sir I have furnished you with a handbill purporting to be issued from the office of the Emancipator of New York, containing a letter under the date of the 21st of September, directed to me and signed by Arthur Tappan, J. Leavett, and II. Dresser, and an answer to that letter purporting to be signed by me, dated in this city on the 2d of October, 1810. I havo never in my life received a letter from the above named persons, either conjunclively or individually: nor did I ever address either the letter sign ed with my name, or any olher letter to them, or either of them. The whole is 1 vile fabrication, totally des- ute of the least foundalion in truth. The letter which enclosed the handbill to me is left in your possession, and it has the New York post-mark upon it, ana was opened this day by me in tho presence 01 Mr. E. P. Langdon,the Deputy Postmaster. Yours, truly, W. H. HARRISON. This bold and barefaced forgery was intended for Southern market. It will fail of its object, and the and of political desperadoes to which the authors belong, will have acquired a new claim to tlie con tempt and hatred of all honourable men. THE PHILADELPHIA FRAUDS. The intelligent and honest of all parlies cannot have failed to observe how uniformly the vague and general charges of the Federalists against the Whigs have been followed by actual exposure of themselves While perpetrating frauds in Philadelphia of the most stupendous and alarming character, and of the blackest grade, thoy charged the Whigs of that cily and the city of Baltimore with a fraudulent co-operation to carry the municipal election in the latter. This is now found to be a conspiracy to operate favorably fur themselves in the Baltimore election, and also to shield themselves from the otherwise withering effeot of their own detection. Thoy have, however, been detected in both, and legal investigations are in progress which will doubtless be successful in bringing many of the actors to conviction and punishment. Sixty-two per sons are already named in the Philadelphia papers as aving been cited to show why their naturalization papers should not be declared void. It ia supposed that the number of fraudulent papers obtained amount to two or three thousands each one of which involves at least two cases of perjury and one of forgery ! The following are extracts from a card issued by the Exe cutive Committee of the Harrison and Tyler Associa tion for the City and County of Philadelphia, re commending measures to assist in delecting the fer- petrators of these frauds, and thoso who are in any way connected with them! "The facts now ascertained are, that the records of some of the courts of Justice in this city and county, (which are in the custody of officers belonging to the Van Buren party, and known to be active partisans) have been interpolated, spurious declarations of inten tion have been pasted in the records, and the name of at least one of the judges bas been (urged to naturalization certificates; thus pulling In circulation naturali zation papers as genuine, winch are ol no validity whatever, being either themselves spurious or founded 011 spurious declarations. The number of these spu rious papers will in a short time be precisely atcur- taineu. "Active measures have been taken by Ilia proper au Ihorities for the detection of those whu have been iu- slrumeutal in these fabrications, and will be faithfully persevered in until the guilty shall be legally ascertained, and the laws and justice of the country avenged by their exemplary punishment." "We have reason to believe that the number of frau dulent naturalization papers manufactured in this cilv willim tlie last lew weens is very numerous, and that they have been circulated not only In the neighboring counties, but In those more distunt, especially along the line ol lite Mate Improvements. MORE PROPHETIC VISIONS. " Whigierv mav blow, lie, swear, and resort to any species uf villaiiy but die Wry must," Ohio Stale man, June lb. A correspondent calls our attention to the above clauicul quotation from lha "Lying Oracle," and re minds us of Ihe manner in which so dire a mishap was to overtake Whiggcry. Preceding this outbreak of fiery zeal, ia a table giving Ihe probable result of Ihe Presidential canvass, in which 33 voles were allowed to Harrison, lo ba cast by Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island 18 set down as doubtful, lo wil, Delawure and Kentucky and lite remain ing 30 Slates, giving 943 voles were claimed cm Certain for Van Buren !l Our correspondent desires us to " compare il with the actual result as it transpires, and see what large need there will be fur charily towards tho deluded readers of that mendacious sheet. Basely have they been deceived, and right heartily will Ihe deceiver rue il!" The Richmond Enquirer of Oct. 9 1, contains a table of Ihe probablo result, in which Mr. Ritchie claims 101 for Van Buren certain giving Hurnson 81, and setting down 63 as doubtful. Surely wisdom has de parted from Ihe r ederalisls. Do these men iciia Inei deluded followers to iff any more on their wild calcu lations t THE NEW YORK CONSPIRACY, We have unwillingly given up much of our space to-day, to the exposition of the gross and outrageous conspiracy in New York, against distinguished mem bers of the Whig party in that cily. We do not fear any effect it has had on the minds of the people in this quarter, but after the extraordinary pains taken by the Statesman to spread the poisonous slander before its readers, we can do no less than furnish the means of refutation. The whole affair will recoil upon Ihe heads of the guilty actors and their friends, in a manner which will teach them prudence hereafter. Such things cannot be tolerated in any community. No man is safe against the assassin attacks of hired per jurers. 1 he fairest reputation may be blasted in a minute. It therefore becomes Ihe duty of every man to set his face against the individuals, or a party, who practice or tolerate such warfare. The effect on the citizens of New York may be judged from the following exlract from the Courier and Enijuirer of the 21th : "Moses II. Ghinnell. our able and accomplished Representative in Congress, had, as we all know, de clined the re-nominaliou tendered to him, although pressed npon him by all our friends as involving in a measure the success of our ticket. But when this infamous contpirucy came to light; when it was discovered that his good name and unblemished character were to be ottered up as a sacrifice to the demoniac spirit of Locofocaitm, the Whig party with a unanimity we have never seen equalled, demanded thai hia namo should be placed on our Congress ticket, in order that through lha ballot boxes they might testify their unshaken confidence in his integrity, and their detestation of the unholy conspiracy by the officers of government, to tarnish his high and spotless character. 1'lie Hon. Frederick A. Tallmapoe who had been placed in nomination by our friends nnd been persua ded lo suffer his nnme to be used, promptly tendered his resignation to the Nominating Lommlltee, which was accepted last evening, and the name of Moses H. Grinnell, placed upon the ticket by acclamation! The Committee then repaired in a body to Mr. Grin-n ill's residence in College Place, where they were joined by many thousands of the Whigs who attended the mass meeting or young men 111 Limine ram, and reported their having again placed his name on our Congressional ticket, in the earnest hope that he would not refuse the desire of his fellow-cilizens to have the opportunity of testifying their undiminished confidence in his integrity and patriotism. Mr. Gbinnell in a speech replete with eloquence, promptly accepled ihe nomination ; and now we have only to say to the Lo- cofoco parly, do your wont. The man you have re viled and traduced he whose lair lame you nave attempted to deslroy by Ihe vilest subornation of perjurythe very individual against whom has been levelled your last card is now placed before the freemen of this city for their decision upon his conduct. You have brought against him, and his immediate friends and associates, Ihe most infamous charge a charge for the production of which the pious Benjamin V, Butler offered half his fortune and a division of hia "last crust" and his friends have referred it lo the people for their decision. The ballot boxes on Ihe fourth of November will proclaim Ait triumph and your infamy," WORSE THAN "BRITISH GOLD" THE PEOPLE'S MONEY USED. The Federalists of Michigan, in common with their brethren throughout the country, have been charging ihe Whigs with resorting to money, and even " British Gold," as a means of corruption to obtain votes. This was well undsio4 , , ,jr thiBigned to up tlio Aiul pioolioea uf tho party, bj divwvllng public attention from themselves, and fixing afl eye of suspicion upon their opponents, Bui, although no one doubted the fact, nothing specific or definite was known, and our friends could only meet their baseless assertions by refuting them. At length, however, ihe Detroit Daily Advertiser has been enabled to carry the war into Ihe enemy's camp not by making vague and general assertions, but by specifying and proving oc. It will be recollected that the State Bank of Michigan, under the direction and management of Ex-Governour Mason aud his 'political friends, failed in the sum of some six hundred thousand dollars. Among Ihe items which go tu make up this large sum, a a nofe upm which hit excellency' Gov. Mason and four if hit attocialet drew from Ihe Banht hundred dollart, for corrupt political purpotet 1 which note is now in suit in one of the Courts ! Among ihe items of disbursement of this corruption fund, by the commiiloe entrusted with il, are two dollars " for a man"! and three dollars for " taking voters from the Poor House" to the polls ! The committee investigating the affairs of this Federal office-holders' Bank, so largely in default to the People, have also discovered and put in suit a pole for seven hundred and fifty dollars, signed by ten of those worthies, and among them by the Lieut. Gov-ernour,or raiting money to tttablith a Federal prett at AnnJrborl The particulars of disbursement are dis closed by memoranda accompanying the notes. The Advertiser concludes a notice of the last note as fol lows: " Not the least curious part of Ihe transaction is Ihe fact, that the note tvm ml patted thnni-h the bookt, in the usual eourte I Nor were the dial Is remitted to Buffalo, emitted to the Bank uiin which they wert drawn! ALL KNOWLEDGE OFTHE TRANS- ACTION WAS COVERED. UNTIL THK IN VESTIGATING COMMITTEE MADE THK DISCOVERY I And yet, fellow citizens, these are Iho very men who are charging the whigs with corruption! But of this, more anon." How much more uf the 600,000 dollars of the peo ple's money has gone the same way, remains to be discovered. GEORGIA COMPLETE. The MilVedgeville Journal of Oct. 30, gives the re turns complete of Ihe lale election In Georgia, The aggregate vole on the Congressional ticket, is as follows : H'niir. Federal.

It is now announced in the Philadelphia papers that Ihe Banks of Pennsylvania will resome specie payments on the 15lh January, including the U. S. Bank. The announcement is made authoritatively. What should Ihe West do in this event 1 Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois, have a duly to perform, which must not be overlooked. An equalization of exchanges between the cities of the east, will reduce the value of coin at the west, and renders resumption comparatively safe and easy, A change in the mode of collecting ihe government revenues will have an important bearing on the question of resumption, leaving the currency of the country to adjust itself to the real demands of business. This event is prospective, however, but may be considered as certain. Final resumption at the west may be deferred properly perhaps until this shall take place. In the mean time it may be well to consider the question in its general bearing, as one of extended interest, to the East and Ihe West. Cattle Show The Clark County Agricultural Society held its first annual meeting at Springfield, on the 31st inst. The display of domestic auimals was large and respectable. An Address was delivered before the Society on the second day, by John H. James, Esq., of Urbana. We had the pleasure of witnessing the exhibition on the first day. As we looked upon the fine collection of animals, the remark involuntarily forced itself upon our mind, why it was that our Government, both Stale and National, paid so little attention to the Agricultural interests or the country 1 The " let us alone" policy may havo been heller for them, than Ihe vacilaling oourse in relation to commerce and manu factures. But there is a medium for both, and when rightly devised and steadily pursued, will result in great good. Should not this be one of Ihe measures of "Reform" of our Slate Legislature! EDUCATION. At a meeting of several cilizens of Columbus, held on Monday, the 2Gih of October inst., P. B. Wilcox was called to the Chair; and thereupon Mr. L. A. Sawver, of New Haven, Conn., and Mr. J. Covert, uf New York, made an explanation of their views and intentions relative to the esiablishmcnt of an Institution in Columbus, for the instruction of children aud youth in the common and higher branches of education : Whereupon, on motion of M. 1. Gilbert, it was Bntikcd, That the enterprise of Messrs. Sawyer and Covert, deserves encouragement and support, and receives our approbation. Un motion ol Mr. William Neil, It was Jlemlved, That a committee of three be appointed to aid Messrs. Sawyer and Coven in obtaining scholar!.. Messrs. William Nell, W. II. Ilulibard, and Doot, I. G. Jones, were appointed said cnmrnillee. I'. U. W1LUOA. Chairman. tj In giving place to Ihe above, we lake occasion to congratulate the citizens of Columbus on the prospect of having established among them, on a permanent footing, a school for Ihe education of youth wor thy of their support and patronage. The gentlemen who have undertaken this enterprise, come among us with Ihe highest recommendations for filnesa and character. Mr. Sawver is favorably known from his recent connexion with a congregation in New Haven, as ili.l. Paainr, where he was distinguished for his learning and piely. Of Mr. Covert, a letter from an esteemed friend assures us, thai ' he is a scholar, a gentleman, a good minister, and an experienced teacher." Willi such testimony before us, we cannot withhold from the gentlemen wishes of success equal lo their undoubted merits. Mrs. Covert, whose experience in teaching has met wilh decided appinbalion at ihe east, will also open a school, for Young Ladies, in the block of buildings known as the Eight Buildings, on Town street. The terms of the " Oilumbut Literary and Scientific Intlilute," will be three, five, and eight dollars per quarter, according 10 the studies pursued. The school will open, as we understand, on Monday, the 2J Nov., in Ihe Eight Buildings. Since the above was prepared, we have received an approving Caid from the committee appointed at the meeting of cilizens, which shall appear in our next. 7b Ihi Editor of the Slate Journal. Sir I have aeen a communication in lha Ohio Statesman, daled "Coal Run, Oct. 6th, 1810," headed "Real Federal Explosion," and signed "A Looker On." The author is the Posimssier of Ihis place, and Ihe defeated candidate lor Recorder. The truth of the ease is this : I had the gun cast at my foundry in this place, took it to Marietta to be drilled out, and returned on tho evening of Ihe 6ih. Wishing to try Ihe gun before using il, il was taken down on the river bank for that purpose. The Loco author weul duwn wilh lha company unsolicited; and two Locos of respectable character, coming along the road at Ihe lime, slopped to hear the report. The Loco author pushed himself in lo load il, saying, "he knew how In do il; he had done such things belore, and II was Well done." He put in 2 lbs of powder, (which it a double rhargn) and then filled her up wilh sand and sandstone, pounded in with nil his might wilh an iron ernwbsr, 10 Ihe muzzle.

A few days since, the writer of this communication was present at the examinalion of the students of the Ohio University, at Athens; and he feels that he is perlortning an act of simple Jnslfce lo Ihe Institution and its officers, in thus slating the high gratification suu pleasure no experiBiiceu oil uiui ui'cuaiou. The examination of the senior class, particularly. which was rigid and minute in every branch of its studies, was very satisfactory, and left an impression upon the Board of Trustees, and the visitors present, most favorable, in regard to the Influence of Ihe pre sent able taculty,and the system of government which they adopted. There ia not perhaps, in the State, a Seminary of learning more advantageously located, both at il respects health and moral), than this institution. Athens is a flourishing town ; silualed on a commanding eminence and surrounded by a hilly country. Epidemics, or indeed prevailing sickness of any description, are scarcely known, lis inhabitants are strislly a sober- . minded, moral people; this is evidenced to any stranger who has ever been twelve hours in ths place. There dues not at present exist in the towu a single grocery or tavern, at which spiriloua liquora of any description is retailed. This single fact, which renders Athena an exception lo almost every tuwn in Ohio, is deemed sufficient to show the habits and temperament of its citizens in regard to proper moral influence. Many of the Universities and Colleges in Ihe United Slates, are objectionable, because of the dangerous and ofien fatal temptations 10 which a young man is subjected who attends them. Habitt are there frequently formed, acquaintances made, and principles instilled, which eventually produce shame and regrets, if not infamy and disgrace. Il is a public misfortune, that at such institutions, over which the ablest and most profound scholars of the country preside ; and where everything is done that can be done to strengthen and ripen the intellect, the moral and better culture, is often so sadly neglected ; to that indeed a parent or guardian has just cause to tremble, at the danger to which a son or ward, must almost necessarily be exposed, who leaves hia home to pursue a course of College studies. Il is nol Ihe inleniion here, 10 draw any invidious distinctions, but it will surely be proper to lay, that institution of learning it the bett where, by reason of its location, or otherwise, a young man while he can gain all Ihe Information thai the best systems of education can furnish, is at the same time imbued with Ihe principles of correct moral government. I he Ohio Vmeernty, tn a great degree, exercisea just Ihis kind of influence, over its students. lis pro fessors are men eminent in the varloua deparlmenta of literature over which they have been called lo preside: and it ia believed that at no institution, west of the mountains, can a more moral, thorough, and perfect course of collegiate studies he obtained at less expense ; and that none in the United States can claim greater advantages in regard to a proper moral influ ence. m The following gentlemen at present constitute the faculty : Rev. William H. McGurry, L. L. D., PraiJent nd Prtfcuor uf Mental and Moral Science. Daniel Ueeu, A. M., Vict Pretident, and Pmfenor of the Latin language, and of Political Economy, Rev. Alfred Bvors, A. M., Profettor of Mathema tics and Mechanical Fhilovphy. Rev. Frederick Mirrick, A. M., Profettor of Chtmitlry and A'aturul Hittory. Rev. Elmha Ballentine, A. M., Profettor of the Greek and Hebrew languages and Literature. Rev. Wills Andrews, A. M., Prufetsorof Rhetoric and English Literature. There it alto attached lo Ihe University an instruc tor in ttucal music, snd in Linear and Landtcaps Draw-ing. To those students who desire it, lessous are also given in U10 CIriuiaii languages. I he appointment of the Professors snd officers, to gether wilh the management of the affairs of the In-slilnlion, is vested in a Board of Trustees, composed of eighteen gentlemen, who are periodically appointed by the Legislature uf Ohio. This Board holds two sessions annually, in April and Sepieinber,al the close uf each collegiate term, and are present at the publio examinalion uf ihe Sludenls. At ihe end of Ihe last September term, the number of under graduates, or students, was one hundred and thirty nine. Each class in the eullege is required to have three recitations daily, nne hour each; and on one day of each week, four recitations. A merit roll is kept by Ihe Instructor, snd Ihe result at ihe close of each week, is entered upon a permanent record, and publicly announced in the Uhspel. All the students of the University are required to recite a Bible lesson on the Sabbath, at 6 o clock, A. M., and to attend divine service in the Chapel at 3 o'clock, P. M. The winter term of instruction commences on the first Wednesday in November, and closes on the Thursday fullowing ihe second Tuesday of April: four weeks thereafter the summer term commences, and ends on Ihe day of commencement. It may be considered the boast, as it ia a distinguishing characteristic of Ihe present age, that by means of our excellent system of common schools, a plain and substantial English education it brought tu ihe dour uf almoal every man in community, and at a rale eo cheap, ibil poverty ia no longer an excuse f r ignorance. Collegiate instruction however, which is aa essentially important, as preparatory to the attainment ol either ol Ihe learned prolrssions, or Indeed to what is now considered a liberal education, has, until wiihin a few years past, been beyond Ihe reach of most of lha young men of Ihe West, as but few could command the pecuniary means necessary fir sucn a course. This impediment has been most happily overcome, and so ample has the provision been made in different psrls of this and the adjacent Siaies, that there are now but comparatively lew men, w ho cannot allord lo give their tons that most Inestimable privilege, a finished education. The exnenses incident to a course of Instruction at Ihe Ohio University are fixed at a rata exceedingly moderate. Tuition in College will eosl ihe student gl6 per lerin; in Ihe preparatory classes $13. Excellent boarding can be procured at the established boarding houses, or in private families, st from $l to 1, 75 per week: washing, lights, fuel, and bedding w,u 1 span, s:in ia js I't per term , so inai mo neces-ssry expenses of Ihe acadeiuio year, ranlutive of furniture, books and clothes, need not exceed $112, and may ba reduced to 84 dollars. During the past year, the University buildings have been put in perfect repair, under the immediate supervision of Picsident McGufT-y, and the grounds have been enclosed and beautified. Other permanent improvements have been made conducive In Ihe comfort of the undents, and Ihe cultivation of Iheir taste. When the present distinguished Picsident consented lo lako charge of this University, a sufficient guarantee waaal oncu given to the public in his well known ability, capacity, and energy of diameter, ibat the institution would immediately be pUoed on an elevated posiilnn, A faculty of able men, as his associates, to perfect a lull and adequate system uf Instruction, snd to cooperate with, ataist and aualain him in hia plans of government, were alone wanting tn aecnie for II a permanent reputation. This most desirable object waa consummated by lha appointment of ihe present Professors; and the experience of Ihe past year hue demonstrated results more favorable than even the most sanguine friends of the inililulion had anticipated : mosl rapidly ia it winning the cnnfijeiica and good opinion of ihe public and In a shoit time, under its present mnnngeinenl, ihe Ohio University will unquestionably become, what II always ought to have been, the pride and nrnatiienl uf the Slate, and occupy a prominent, if not Ihe first, runk among ihe literary institutions of Iho Weil.
