Forgery.-A silly letter, bearing forgery on its face, is going the rounds of the opposition press. It purports to have been written by Mr. Buchanan to Mr. English, authorizing that gentleman to buy off opponents, so as to secure his re-nomination to Congress.

The Washington Union pronounces it a forgery, and every honest, intelligent man in the country knows it is a forgery. Even the Register affects to believe that Mr. Buchanan wrote it, in which it stultifies itself.

It is a maxim of law that no one shall profit by his wrong doing. The letter in question is evidently a forgery perpetrated by some Black Republican, and we object to his southern sympathizers--sympathizers in opposition to Democracy--taking such advantage of that wrong as to use it to their profit and to the injury of the Democratic party. The credulity of Horace Greeley could not believe the letter genuine. No one believes it; and its use, by the opposition press, shows to what low depths a desperate and despairing conglomeration of factions will dive, in order to bring up something with which they hope to gull the ignorant, excite the malicious and rekindle the fires of hatred to the Democratic party and to its present able Administration.
