Wo p l'dis'ied in the Crlo!)o of Sa'tir liv thf i'ldic.ial proof, disclosed at New Y:rk, of the most iufa nous system of fraud in ilriclectio is that his ever l)2on atte nptnd "". i i i y. u is uviueni mil it is a part only of a conhine I and regularly ot o;:i!iiz'tl plan which is n nv operitin- t-iroiishiiit the United St m-s. and bv which it is inten Jod to pi ice Willia n IIe:i- y Iliirisii in the presidential chiir by I ! f . ii.t'i ;i:i i ru ur irv io i lie win oi a mijor iy of the people and Sta'es of the Union. I'e plan may ba traced already in Indi i'ia. io Maine, in Maryland, in Doliware, i;i Illinois, and in Ohio, by accidental and providential discoveries, which, notwith sandintrihe desperate effjrts at conceal ri".!, will leak out. In Indiana, by a report of a number of the most respectable men in the State, io v e:ig;igd in pursuing the investigation, it appears, by tbeir solemn and uncontra dicted statement, that in Tippecanoe county alone "they hail found upon the poll books numcious friuds, consis: ting of double voting, of non-resident vo; ting, of minors voting, and large masses of names not known to them as Citizens of the county." In Maine the Democrats have now in the:r possession six federal ballot?, with the name of the Federal candidate for Uepre sentativo, written in the hand of a will known federalism which were turned out of the ballot box at Hiram in that State, he cause a democrat in the town insisted upon luving the ballot boxes searched, before the election began. A similar number oi ballots, thus plac.Ml in the boxes where the Federalism had the inspectors, are suf ficient to have produced the increase of the Federal vole at the late election. In Maryland, a letter from Jeffers, the federal high constable of Baltimore, has been detected by the accident al ho isting of Riston, a federal broker of Pniladtlpiiia, to whom it Wis addressed, directing five hundred voters to be sent to Baltimore, to carry the late election of Mayor. JefTers denied the letter to be his; it is now pro ved by a person to whom liiston showed it, to be genuine; it is proved by four or live wiincses, who know .Jcfhrs's wri tind; and Jelfers has been indicted for it, by the grand jury, after examination of the v. idence. In Delaware, the federalists carried the inspectors of election in the town of Wil mington, on Tuesday, the sixth of Oc tober, by a mnjori'y of fifiy-lhe, though there was a well known Democratic ma- iontr in the nlace. On the Tuesday fol- j -j i j lowing, the election itself came on in the same I o w u ; t he democratic vote remained neari v the same, but the fedcralits were beaten by twenty-one- majority. How happened it that the Federulisls had sieven-iy-ix more vutets at the election of in spectors than at the ptincipal election? Because the latter was held on the same day with the general eletiuon in Pennsyl vania and New Jeisey, so that the im ported vo.crs wtrj kept at liome. In Illinois, there is the strongest reason to believe th it arrangements have uln a I) heeii made, by the Ki deralits, for bring ing voters across the Mississippi and Oliio, from Kentucky and Mtssouii, where tht: tn tjiirilits are so gieat as to leave no pro h.ibility ofciiang', and dius to dtf.at the Democratic vote of Illinois, by persons ill gdly impoited from other States. In Ulno, tlie fraud h ts tieen perpetrated with a boldness and to an extent propor tinned to the large vote of that great Slate. Wo ask any honet American citizen to weih the following lacs: winch are pro ved atul imcontrovei ted. In 1S38, when the election was vio lently contested, the Democrats polled one hundred and seven thousand votes, ami the Federalists ce hundred thousand. At the late elect io-i the Democrats in creased their vote about ten or twelve thou sand, while the federalists have, in two years rubed their aggregate vote to one hundred and f'tty thousand. Docs any humanbeingbelievclh.it there are forty thousand more federal voters now in Ohio, than there were two ) ears ago. The fret is the evidence of fraud, .-tamped in char acters as indelible as the brand of Cain. But what is apparent from the aggregate result, is proved by particular instances where the Democrats have by accident or perseverance ferreted out the concealed in iquity. In Franklin county, George Elphin- ftone, the President of the Harrison Coni- Thus is the ssihWJ th-own aside m.ttee, openly declared, ju.t on th eve of, thus are th- hmesl efljrts of th- neonle to the elpction ; that '-the Wnigs would elect or reel the bdlot box s op-nly and ritJi Lorwin and Harrison inspiie of the world; cu!ed thus is the desp-rate intention a yes, by lying and swindling, if n idling vowed, to finish the scheme in the manner triair w juiu no; iv netl aS'UNl .V!l :!h-r such a public declaration would not injure his party, be replied: "it was too ne-tr the election to do any injury!" In Columbiana county there is a Demo cratic increase since last year of twi hu.i dre.l votes; yet the Federal increase, ac 1. .1 llf iii cording to their election returns, is .-even hundred and nineteen. Dosanv one be lieve there has been an addiiion in that founty, in one year, of nine hundred and nineteen leg d v. iters. In Belmont county the census was taken last fall, and there were 5,770 white m b- inhabitants over 21 years of age. At the late election, the Democratic vote was but I3G more than it was two years before, while the Federal vote purported to bavi increased nine hundred and seventy-lour, and made the aggregate vote of the" cou -ty two hundred and fifty-two mere than the whole number of male inhabitants. 1 In Montgomery county there were twelve hundred voles given more than there are legal voters in the county. In Pickaway county, where the Demo crats had a sm dl majority, ihy were b a tea by an importation of one hundred per sons, shipped from Lockborne, in Frank lin county, where the Federal majority was large enough to allow of their being spared. In Hamilton county the steamboat came up from Louisville, crowded, on the day of f lection, with persons, who voted, without a shadow of right. In one ward, which was carefully polled the day before, and found to have a Democratic majority of twenty-eight, the Federalists showed a ma joi i ty of two hundred and forty-seven, without any diminution of the Demo cratic vote. These are but a few of the more noto rious cases of detected fraud. Every day, as the mails come in, proofs of similar out rages all over the Stale, are disclosed. Boat loads of voters transported along the canals wagon loads of them brought by night from one county to another num bers of persons from Kentucky and Vir ginia carried by the steamboats on the Ohio these and other plans, evincing fraud under every disguise, prove beyond the possibility of a doubt that Wilson Shannon is the legally elected Governor of Ohio at this moment. As if nothing were wanting to expose the pit into which Federalism is seeking to plunge the liberty, the rights, the honor, and the morality of the nation, we have disclosed to us by a providential inter position, the modus operandi as concocted by the Federal leaders at New York. The proofs the written proofs, established before a judicial tribunal which those ac cused do not venture to contradict the written receipts for money paid the lists of imported voters the confessions of the police officers, who were the im mediate agents all these are brought to light to establish .that which the occur reucesin various States, that we have thus rapidly adverted to, had already author ized every man to believe. Will the A merican people sutler a President of the United Stales to be made by means such as these? Are we a people enslaved and debased, that men of straw can reach that lofty office by cheating and fraud? Are there any among us so degraded, that they can venture to hold public places bv a tenure such as this? Forbid it, Justice! Forbid it, the remembrance of what we have been, the certainty ol what we shall be, as a people, if we preserve our insti tutions unpolluted!! While we yet wiite, another astounding fact is brought to us another proof of the infamous designs to which the Federalists are determined to resort. Under the re peated and damning proofs of fraud which had come to light, the Democratic Central Committee of the State of New York pro posed to the Whig Central Committee that in the towns where there was no Federal inspectors, the prominent members of the putv be invited to name any person who should h sve convenient ana ready acces? to the inspectors', stand keep a tally of the voters on both sides, as a check on the inspectors and be permitted to lodge with the inspectors in charge of whom the ballot boxes-are left over night: and that in towns where there were no Democratic inspectors, the same courte-y be extended bv the Federalists to our friends. The 'whig general committee of the city and county of Albany" having taken the propositions into consideration, at a formal meeting, not only decline, but de nounce them, as being founded on '-the base supposition thai the Whig inspectors of elections throughout the State would violate ihe sacred trust which they had sworn faithfully to execute;,, and "declare that the promulgation of such a supposition is undeniable evidence that the persons, or the party who sanctioned it, are unworthy of the confidence of honest men." M which it has been besun!! Mysterious tfjfiiir. K singular cir cumstance occurred a few days ao. A largrt Spanish ship from Hamburg, bmnd o Havani, was picked up by one of our litile wreckers about a fortnight agi, qui'e deserted. She was aflait with no sdN but a gi'j - not th j lea-t injured having a w?ry valuable cargo of wines, sdks. fi ll! IS and all in nood order, and her paper m l every thing on boird in their prop, i places. When sounded, three feet water wa found in her hold, which was imme diately pumped on?, and it was discovered that she had no leak. A few poultry and cat were only found alive. Tnere was a number of cages, with Canary birds, ap parently starved to death, in them. I tave seen one of the persons who first went on board, and he sivs that the cabin and state rooms were beautifully furnished md hal all the oppearance of passengers having just stepped out of them one in Mr icul ar, had a laJys toilet, combs, tnidv s. Sac. and on a settee lay a bonnet, diawl, work box. needles, thimbles, &c. as i" that moment laid down. No one can onp cture why she was so abandoned. Hi re are many cases on board address d ti iliif rent merchants in Havana, and the vessel by which I am now writing is des patched to gain some information on the -uhj2ct. She is a large flew ship, built this year; and is named Rosina. Rail Road Occidents. On Monday aiterno m, about three miles north of Wil mington, on the Baltimore Hail Road, an old man, a Strang' r, upwards of 60 jTears of age, was killed in a most awful manner. The accident took place upon a very nar row bridge, on winch there is but a single track of the railroad. It appears that the old man va standing just at the extreme point of the bridge leaning against the abutment, when the locomotive came a long, the front of which struck his body about the middle, cutting him in two, and causing of course immediate death. A cuive in the road at that point rendered it impossible for the engineer to see him in lime to avoid the melancholy accident. Another. On Sunday afternoon, as the train of cars was coming down to the city on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, the engine was thrown off by a concussion with the bony of a cow, which was lying on the road the engineer, Patrick Gaf ney, was pitched forwards and fell before the engine, t:e wheels of which conse quently passed over his legs, and severed them in twain. Trifling with Jus ice. A man named Sam'l Young was last week tried in the Philadelphia Sessions on an indictment for fraudulent insolvency. The case was given to the jury last Thursday, and they had not agreed up to Sunday evening, when they made up a verdict and sepa rated. On Monday morning when they came into court, the court objected to their verdict. Some correction was made, and after wards when the jury w as polled it appeared that five of them dissented from . i i . ti . ' ! . i .:.. me veruici. i ne live wins itiiauunii were then directed to find bail in the sun. of S1000 each, to answer for a misdemean or as jurors. Commercial Bank of Columbus, Mis n'ssippi. At the recent lire at Mobile, a large quantity of unsigned notes of the a bove Bank was found in the third story of the building. They were pot notes and piyable at the Bank ol the United States, Philadelphia. The notes were scattered about and every one present helped him self. So look out, ye dealers in Mississip pi Bank Notes. 0"The trial of Dr. El-lridge, the wholesale forger, agiinst whom fifty-one indictments h ive been found, is still in progress at the Crimind Court, Phila delphia. Two of the witnesses for the prosecution have identified him with the utmost certainty as the person who had opened accounts at two of the banks there. (JTvo fellows, calling thrmsclvrs Mr. Jones and John Cassan, who said thev came from New York a few days be for were on Wednesday evening arrested at Philadelphia, at the exhibition of tl Franklin Institute, on suspicion of having picked the pockets- of i-everd gentlemen, riiey had a confederate,. who made his is cape. Another, named James Cui.ay, was caught with two stolen pocket bouks upon him. The case of Poisoning, at Phila delphia. Harriet Aitkin, the black girl, who was charged in April last with an at tempt to poison the family of Mr. Goines, the mulatto barber, in Exchange place, of that city, was brought before ihe Mayor for a final hearing, the case having been postponed from time to time for the pur pose of getting the attendance of witnesses. The circumstances of ihe case are involved in mystery. From the evidence deve loped there is great teason to believe that she was innocent of every design to injure the family-of Goines, but that the cakes attaining the poison were given to her bv the father of hci child, which she ha borne since the transaction, with the view of des-roving her life. She pr-is's in her refusal to tell who the father of the child is. The Mavor will give his opinion in the case on Wednesday next. American Newspapers:- 'ehave be fore us, says the Bdtimore Clipper, a list of newspapers published in this country, titles, places of publication and object. The list comprises upwards of 2000 pa pers, and was collected by Mons. Vat temare, who has in hi possession a speci men of each piper, which he intends d positing in the National Museum at Paris. I'he list is of course. ineompletP and we would suggest to the gentlemen of the press all over the country, the propriety of furthering his object by giving htm such information as he mav reauire. From the list before us. it appears ihat there are 31 papers published in Boston; 61 in New York, 36 in Philadelphia, 20 in Baltimore, 16 in New Orleans, 14 in Cincinnati, 8 in St. Louis, 5 in Louisville, 6 in Charleston and 6 in Washington. Mon. Vattemare remarks that when this list of pipers is exhibited in France, it will cause much surprise, and that the estimate will show that the ephemeral pres of the United States exceeds that of all Eu rope. Murder and Confession. The Sche nectady Democrat of yesterday's date gives the particulars of a shocking murder committed on Tuesday last in Glenville, about six miles from the city, from which we extract the following: Charles Cooke, an Englishman, about 30 years of age, who was and had been in the employ of Mr. E. G Merry for about four months, came in to dinner. Mr. Merry being absent, his wife, with two children of 6 and 4 years, together with Cooke, a'e dinner; after which Mrs. Merry went to the cellar, whither she was follow ed by Cooke, who forced Her to the back par t of the cellar and cut her throat from ear to ear with a carving knife, killing her instantly. Cooke immediately fled, but was arrested during the i ight, and on Wed nesday morning brought to this city, wheie, after an examination, be was fully com mitted. Since bis committal we under stand he has made a full confession of his guilt. Another Murder. The Vandalia Illi nois Whig of the 11th says Our town was thrown into great commotion on Monday morning last, by finding ti e dead b dy of one of our most esteemed cilizens, James M. Ptery, Esq. near the outskirts of the town, having been murdered by the in fliciion of blows upon the head. The per petrator of this foul deed has hither to elu ded the utmost vigilance of our citizens, and no adequate reason can be assigned by any why the deceased should thus have been deprived of his life. Melancholy occurrence. We regret to state that the Hon. Willi im S. Ramseyi newly elected member of Congress from Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, came to his death yesterday evening in his nom at Barnum's Hotel, from the discharge of a pistol, the contents of which entered bis head immediately below the eye. The jury we understand were unable to agre, wheth er he came to his death byaccident ordesign. The deceased was a genlleman of great popularity and universally respected and esteemed. No possible cause C3n be as signed for the voluntary commission of the act. Baltimore Republican. QJ Liberia has a population of 4500 A mencan colonists, and 30,000 natives. It has nine settlements of towns; the two most distant being 300 miles apart, on the sea eoast the others at various distances in termediate. Its territory, procured by purchase, contains nearly 500,000 acres of land, and ether laige tracts can be easly ob tained of the native owners dn the same n ay. The government is modeled after our ov n, and is purely republican adminis V red almost wh lly by colored people. Agriculture is thiiving and greatly exten ding. Four printing presses are in opera tion. 1 wentv-one ehurcties are organ- zed, some of them composed t fnative con verts Mure ih; n 30 oiddned ministers .tv engaged in religous teaching. Many Sabbath Schools are rcguhyly attended. nd on the whole, the colony never sp p ared better than now, nor so entirely attractive to i?s friends on the ground of its great usefulness.
