The Caledonian

The Van Buren papers, about five weeks ago, came out with a charge accusing the Whigs in Naylor's District of adding 900 fictitious names to the poll lists and of putting the same number of votes in the ballot boxes for Naylor, backing the charge with the affidavits of two worthless fellows, who swore that one John C. Gill told them that he added the names and ballots. Gill, then absent, soon returned, and published a statement that the whole charge was false, and that he was not in Naylor's district at the time. And other evidence shows the whole story to be a monstrous fabrication of the Vanites. Yet a certain V. B. paper that published the charge still keeps the truth from its readers. Honest men owe it to the cause of truth to discountenance such papers, to frown upon such gross attempts to deceive them. Editors are liable to make frequent mistakes, but honest men take pleasure in correcting their errors.
