FROM ONE OF THEIR OWN WITNESSES!
The following affidavit is mode by one of the wit
tieseeibrought forward by the Whigs to substantiate
the flag s/ander made against Mr. Skunk:
CITY OF PITTSBURGH, SS.
Before me, an Alderman of said city, personally
came James M'Cutcheon, who, being duly sworn.
earth that he never at any time saw Francis R. Shunk
trample er walk upon or over the American Flag and
that to does not know the said Frenci■ R Shook by
eight; nor did he see any American Flag whatever,
carried, made use of, or walked or trampled upon in
the procession in the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the German Catholic Church, es has been
charged. Nor did he see any flag in said procession,
teirmade use of on that occasion, except by the mili
tary, es a signal flag, waved by them for the firing of
thecannon. JAMES M'CUTCHEON
Sworn fo mid subscribed before me, this 25th day
of September. R. MORROW.
Mark the language of Mr. M'Cutcheon. "NOR
DID HE SEE ANY AMERICAN FLAG WHAT
EVER, CARRIED, MADE USE OF, OR WALK
ED OR TRAMPLED UPON IN THE PROCES
SION." This is what Mr. M'Cutcheon sweet♦ to,
yet the knaves who originated the slander, published a
statement a few days since, to which they appended his
name, certifying that he had seen all that the slander
ers charged. As they considered his mere certificate
good evidence that he did see the flag trampled upon,
we suppose they will not now object to taking
his own oath to prove that he did not see it. Mr. M'-
Cutcheon is their own witness, the American says he
is a respectable man, and as heir a Whig certifier, we
do not suppose that they will dare to say that he has
sworn to anything but the truth.
After this. what reliance can the public place in any
statement that is made by the degraded orgies of our
opponents. Ott the strength of the certificate to which
they .attached M'Cutcheon's mane, they expected
to induce the publicto believe the falsehood they inven
ted about trampling on the Flag, and now we have the
same man declaring under the solemnity .of an oath,
that he did not us what the whip make him say in
his certificate be had seen.
Whatcourse the lying scoundrels will now take to
keep their falsehoods afloat we minium. imagine. Per
haps, they will get other certificates from the grog
bruisers they keep for snch purposes, or they may ad
vance a step in crime, and persuade some of their hired
certifiers to swear that the Falsehoods invented by the
leaders of the party are true.

THE KOOREACE FOHGERY.--We neglected to men

Gazette as being in eapilais, contains the whole charge
against J AYES K Pete. The admission of the Ga
zette that that part of the extract is fabricated, dcatroPt
the WhOleof it.' While writing about this forgery, we
will take occasion to forewarn our friends against. ell
similar attempts to cheat them, which will doubtless be
made ou the eve of the election. Forged speeches,
extracts and documents, purpoding to come from Col.
four and ot,ber democrats, will no doubt be circulated
in plenty. Look, out fur all sorts of villainy--the
whip are desperate—they will hesitate at nothing
that may promise to save their sinking cause.
CH ANOP.4.—Tbe Gazette of yesterday stated that a
number of changes in favor of the whigs had taken
place in Pine. This, we are informed by two citizens
of the township; it without the slightest shadow of
truth; no such changes have taken place, and if any
coon can prose the statement be will Its "liberally
rewarded, and no gees ions asked." The democrats
of Pine were never in better spitits, more united or
more confident of skinning the coots thin they are at
the present conte.t.
Tut qARAL CRS CORKKEZD.--Wts have heretofore
noticed the publicatiou of a pamphlet, bythe Philadel
phia whigs, purporting to be authentic extracts from the
speeches and letters. of Jasigs K POLK. To make
their fabrication =implausible, they offer on thextitie
page, to pay to any of the friends of Mr Polk, one
thousand dollars if they can show that the quotations
arenot fairly made. On the appearance of the pamph
let, it was examined by the Democratic Executive
Committee, and at once divcoveredthat it was one. of
the vilivt pieces efgathling and Misrepresentation that
bad ever been bolted. The Committee immediately
addresital the following letters to the Presidentaf the
Clay, Club, signifying there willingness, to accept till! ' of

but the gentleman falsifiers have of course backed out,
and decline giving the democrats en opportunity of

All men have a natural and indefeasible right' to
worship Almighty God according to the dictates of
their own consciences:cannot, of right. be compelled to'
attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or main
min any ministry against his consent; no human author
ity can, control or i..terfere with the rights of con
science —Coma of PC/at&
These doctrines are a. large and essential part of
die security of human freedom. And whenever a peo
ple neglect or disregard them, all their dearest rights
- are placed in the most itnmineqt peril. For, accord
ing to the author above quoted, "civil and religious
.liberty gennendly go hand in hand, and the suppression
of either of them, fur any length of time, will termi
nate the existence of' the other."
It is always, however, to be distinctly understood
that liberty of conscience, and th e free exercise of
worship, are to be preserv ed: in 'perfect consistency
with the universal law of ,working no ill to others.—
Whatever maybe the state of intelligence among any,
people, this with must be self evident, that the one
God and father of all, could not enjoin acts of religion
upon one portion of his children which would work
any Injury to another portion. This is the light of na
ture. And the precepts of revelation perfectly accord
with it. "Love is the fulfilling of the law," and "love
worketh no ill to his neighbor. °
It is nevertheless true, that these who have been
loudest in proclaiming the eight of individual judgment
and the free exercise of religion, hare, at the very time
they proclaimed these fundamental truths, been found
restraining by pomades, the exercise of these rights
to others. it is hitharp -unattained,, to get alfwien to
*think correctly on this subject. The truth is not rre
nerally perceived nor its power' experienced in con i
trolling and rest rainin our actions towards our neigh
terr, "that the rights of conscience are indeed bey...
thejust reach of aoy human power." They are given
by GA and cannot be encroached upon by human au
thority. without a crimiral disobedience of the pre
cepts of the natural, as well revealed religion. ""
This devotion is founded open the troth, that every
man will have to give an account fur himself to God.
Accordingly, everyman is entitled, or rather bound to
form his own opinions, on every subject, more particu
larly en the subject of religon, the most deeply interest
ing of all. The gospel of Christ supposes every man
to he purely Yolnetatry et big *nice of Ged. .Aud Ad
form of worship or act of religion, can be proper toany
man, or b°in./act ; worship st all, Which he does Dot be
lievete tie' sultableto the end of Watering God, and ac
ceptable to him. Of what is acceptable to God, every
man is necessarily the judge for himself. Another man
cannotjudge forhim,no more than beam performtbe sot
of worshipfor him. No greater violence can be done
to the nature of mind and its relations to the divinity,
norgreater absurdity perpetrated, than to enforce the
performance of an act of religion which has not the
approbation of the anderstanding.
There is no true religion widsoutther disposition of
scull and temper °Mean which God requites. and this
is what no force can alTee%-Compulsory measures of
no description, can change our relations to God. In
the matters which affect our coriduct an.l destiny. every
man must be "fully persuaded in his own mind."

inc concerning which we are itaneway convinced
that it comes to us with a claim to be believed. Of this
kind are the admonitions of parents to infant children,
and teachings of minitters of religion who are believed
to deliver, and truly expound divine tiutb. The other
is, by having presented to the understanding. testirno
