York American draws public attention to
tho developments of the fraud? of lho Lo.
cofoco party at elections in that city; as
brought to light in tho trial of certain Lo
cofoco Aldermen for illegally discharging
convicts from Blackwell's Island prison pre
vious to the last spring election, with a viao
to their voting vnder-the direction of the
ptrsons who brought them from the prisQn.
1 he American adds
"The enormity of these proceedings,
which were so strenuously denied by tho
Locofoco papers when first charged, and
tho zeal Und pertinacity which Mr. Mayor
Aforris displays, arid from the commence
ment of the investigation has displayed, to
throw obstacles in tho way of inquiry, are
well fitted to arouse public attention. Al-
rnady Qiq pr""'? TpntPg tlt
prisoners were discharged long before the
expiration of their sentences : that thev
s j
wero kept together, ana together brought to
tho'city on tho eve " of tho election ; and',
final ly , t lm t -1 ley- were "led to- the ' jjoIIs. lo
Ote, and tlid-vntn, nnrlnr flip, hiiblmg
those fiaviug tiicm in charge. And all this
was perpetrated through the instrumentality
of Locofoco magistrates, arid for the benefit
of Locofoco candidates ; and yet these aro
the men who have the impudeucc to charge
the Whigs with pipe-laying. We do not
perccivo that the Evening Post, which was
so full of virtuous indignation in lho Glcnl
worth case, has any expressions of con
demnation for this tenfold greater outrage.
But perhaps when it has done rejoicing over
Locofoco triumphs it will have some leis
ure and virtue for the reproof of Locofoco
crimes.
