Postscript: Another Forgery!!

Justas our paper was going to press, the mail arrived, bringing papers containing an article purporting to be a letter from Mr. Birney to Mr. Garland, a Democrat of Saginaw county, in which Mr. Birney is made to declare, that if elecíed, he will "forego the agitation of the slavery question in our State Legislatures" and "pledges himself togo for Democratie men and measures!" There can be no doubt that this is a FORGERY, got up to affect the election in Ohio, which took place on Friday.- The first news of Ihis article was from the Cleveland Herald, purporting to be from the Geneseo Counly Democrat, a Whig paper published at Flint. This tenor of this pretended lelter is flatly contradictory to Mr. Birney's explicit declarations, as published in the Signal last week.
