Forgery Debunked in Salem Speech Controversy
A long letter from John H Harper defends a Salem forgery claim against John M Wilson, dismissing a Forum 1855 speech as a vile fabrication. It cites affidavits and editorials debunking the speech, and criticizes Democratic papers for repeating the lie to influence voters. It references the Madison Patriot and other Douglas-leaning papers and notes Wilson’s exclusion from the Indiana Republican electoral ticket. Also printed is a Post Office regulation from Oct 8 1860 directing unpaid letters to be sent to the dead letter office beginning Nov 5 1860.

The court held that three years possession under the 1849 act did not confer title after 1860 session laws, granting only immunity from action, to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
