Having demonstrated the importance of the revelations of "Valley Forge" to the truth and accuracy of history--of that history, in which we are all so intensely interested--as belonging to the fame of the fathers, and as destined for an inheritance to our children, to the end of time--it remains to consider how the editor of the Evening Journal, in giving publicity to corroborative materials for history, has merited that torrent of scurrility, that has been vomited upon him from the sympathisers in the royal cause of George the Third--who, even up to this day, still retain in their veins, the poison of tory blood! "Valley Forge" makes no _fresh_ charge against the tories of 1776. He but deals in specifications of treasonable designs, common to every history of our Revolution, and to be found in every life of George Washington. If he has ventured on the daring task of committing fabrications of letters from General Smith to Colonel ----, he has perpetrated _supererogatory_ crime, for no sensible purpose--for all that General Smith's letters told us, we knew before, as notorious facts of history. For this reason, we do not believe he has committed "forgery"--from the mere love of crime, or any other motive. If, then, the sympathisers in the Royal cause, are so offended by these letters, as to pour forth the phials of their wrath upon the editor of this paper, it must be from some other motive than virtuous sensibility or wounded patriotism. But this is not all. What was the character--what the tendency of the letters of "Valley Forge" who has unquestionably committed a deep injury, in maintaining his anonymous character, and failing to redeem "his gage," thrown down with so much defiance to Mr. Spear Smith--what, we say, was the tendency of his letters? It was laudable, noble, exemplary. It was to vindicate Washington, and his co-patriots, from all suspicion of being associated with General Joseph Reed, the secret royalist--the wavering tory--all which he is known to be, on the authority of Cadwalader, as well as Washington himself--from all suspicion of being associated, we say, with Reed as _a friend_--a bosom, and confidental[TN] friend. Their direct tendency is, to exalt the patriots of the Revolution, and to depress those English spies in the American uniform, who correspond in cypher, with the royal commissioners, and sought to sell the liberties of their country, for a price, at the very crisis of her fate. And what reply is made to "Valley Forge?" Do the parties criminated, defend their ancestor? No.--Do they question the truth of history? No.--But they charge "Valley Forge," with fabrication. Yet, if he be guilty, does it make Reed innocent? No.--Then why not defend themselves? VALLEY FORGE. _October, 31st,_
