FRAUDS! KEEP WIDE AWAKE! ,
The fradulent circulation of naturalization papers
in Pennsylvania brings to mind the famous or rath
er infamous Plaquemine fraud of 1844, by which
the vote of Louisiana was given to Mr. Polk. The
Baltimore American observes, "There are men un
scrupulous enough to do any thing in politics pro
vided they can escape the penalties of the law. A
conspiracy such as this, which is founded upon de
liberate forgery, has all the essential qualities of
treason. The sovereignty is attacked whenever the
ballot box is invaded for sovereignty there resides
in its elements. The authority which governs ctnes
from no other human source, and every ballot fraud
ulently cast usurps, to the extent of its intrusion,
the prerogative of the popular sovereignty. All
parties, how much soever they may differ upon oth
er things, should unite in maintaining the right of
suffrage inviolable. It is useless to talk about res
pecting the laws if the fountain of law and authori
ty itself is corrupted at its. source."
We have no idea that the honest and upright
masses of the democratic party would be guilty of
any fraud, but there are those, as experience has ful
ly proved, who would adopt any means to secure the
success of their ticket. Therefore, let the Whigs of
vae union be on their guard ; let them be vigilant-,
let them keep a bright look-out for Roorbacks, and
lend no credence whatever to any " startling disclo
sures" which may spring from active and ingenious
brains. JJicAmortd Republican. .

An old Fraud Revived In 1844 the cry; of
Polk, Dallas, and the-tariff of '42 was a familiar
sound in the ears of Pennsylvanians, and, by a
course of systematic fraud, many of them were
induced to cast their votes for those who after
wards betrayed them. This imposition has beCu
so completely exposed, that it is hardly creditable
it should be attempted again ; but it appears from
the Cumberland Civilian, that, at the Mount Sa
vage Iron VVorks, lliey have actually unfurled the

Gen. Taylor has said: "I have no party pur
poses to accomplish, no party projects to butld
up, no enemfes to punish, nothing to serve but
my country." For uttering such; noble senti
mentsKthe Locofocos have denounced him with
savage ferocity. They regared partisanship as
the essence of patriotism, and proscription of ene
mies as the -highest of political duties. The peo
ple differ with them in opinion, and believe in
that patriotism which embraces all interests and
men of all parties. They will vote for the true

In this we have not inclndel a single State, by any
meaus doubtful, not even Ohio, though we are fully
confident that the State will vote for Gen. Taylor.
So, too, we have not included Georgia or Florida,
although we consider those States perfectly safe.
There is also good reason to believe that Indiaua will
vote for General Taylor less probable, but still
quite hopeful, are our prospects iu Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and even in Mississippi. If we add the
votes Of Ohio, Florida, GeorgUand Indian we have
198 electoral votes, or a majority of 106 in the. elec
toral college. - '
But even if we lose every .State that can reascna
bly be regarded as the least doubtful, Pennsylvania
is no longer disputable ground, and it decides the
Presidential election in our favor. Well, then, may
the Whigs everywhere be electrified by the glorious
and most unexpected victory a victory so astoupd
ing, complete, and overwhelming which leaves bur
friends nothiug to fear, and our enemies nothing to
hope. General Tnylor cannot fail to sweep the Stafl,
by even a much larger majority than that obtained
for Governor.

Of course, we do not say that the States will vote

the contest, trom an impartial point ot view. 1 here
may be changes both ways, but the above table will
show that, conceding to Gen. Cass, Ohio, Indiana,

" It is further seriously objected that Gen.
1 ayior is a slaveholder. '1 his objection comes
about 60 years too late. It was disposed of in
substance by the originaT articles of confedera
tion, and annulled, in form, by the constitution
of the United States. The Northern Slates
were glad enough to avail themselves of the co
operation of the South, in their struggle for in
dependence, and, no questions asked." Not
less thankful were they to cement the incipient
alliance by a most solemn compact, expressly
recognizing their right to property in their slaves,
and engaging to protect it treating wjth them as
proprietors of slaves', aa our equals in all respects,
and eligible of consequence to all offices under
the constitution. What would have been the fate
of a motion in that glorious assembly which
formed the constitution, or of those who might
have made it George Washington present to
declare a slaveholder ineligible to any office un
der it? I well remember the adoption of the
constitution by my fellow-citizens of this state,
when Hancock, muffled in red baize, was brought
into the Convention to sifn the ratification. The
evening preceding, a demonstration in favor of
tne measure was made in the streets ot Boston,
by an assemblage favorable to it, whose members,
Paul Revere assured Samuel Adams, were like
the sand of the sea shore, or like the stars in
heaven.
" The unbounded joy of the people on this oc
casion was alloyed only by theear thallh South
ern Slalts might not come into tlie league. Never
can I forget when in the balcony of the City
Hall in New York, Washington, the Slaveholder,
as if an angel dropped from the clouds,' came
forth and look the oath to support the'-Constitu-tion.
No one can describe the silent, tearful
extacy which pervaded the myriads who witness
ed that scene, succeeded only by shouts which
seemed to shake the canopy above them. The
man who on that occasiop had dared to object to
a slaveholding Presidentfwould not have been an
object of envy. It would probably not be too
much to affirm, that Buchla sick man's dreams had
never entered any mind."

HIS LAW FOE WHIPPIMO POOR WHITE MEN, POLITE
' ' " - r LY CALLED
AN ACT for the punishment of idle and disorderly
persons.
Sect. 1. Be it enacted by the Goxernor and J udges
of the Territory of Michigan, that any Justice pf
the Peace, on conviction, may sentence any vagrant,
lewd, idle, or disorderly persons, stubborn servants,
common drunkards, common ntght walkers, pilferers,
or any persons wanton and lascivious in speech, con
duct or behaviour, common railers or brawlers, such
as neglect their calling and employments, misspend
what they eirn, and do not provide for themselves
Or their families, to be whipped not exceeding ten
stripes,-or to be delivered over to any Constable, to
be employed in labor not exceeding three months,
by such Constable to be hired out for the best wages
that can be procured, the proceeds of which to be
applied to the use of the poor of the County.
The same being adopted from the Laws of one of
the original States, to wit, the State of Vermont, as
far as necessary and suitable to the circumstances of
the Territory of Michigan.
Made, adopted and published at Detroit, the
twenty-seventh day of July, one thousand eight hun
dred and eighteen. .
LEW. CASS,
Governor of the Territory of Michigan.
A. B. WOODARD,
Presiding Judge of the Territory of Michigan.

John Grifkrn,
J udges of the Territory of Michigan.
County of Washington, ) jfc .
District of Columbia. f
I, George Sweeny, Notary Public, duly commis
sioned and sworn, do hereby certify that the afore
going " Act for the punishment of idle and disorder
ly persons," has been truly copied from the volume
of the Laws published by authoiity of the Territo
rial Government of Michigan, in 1820. and now in
the public Library of the Congress of the United
States.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed
my name and affixed my Notarial seal this twenty
second dav of July, eighteen hundred and forty
eight GEO. SVVEENY,
,. Notary Public.
f n connexion with this Law, consider the follow
ing points:
.First. It was mule by Cass and the Jndges who
had the legislative power over the Territory, . the
People4having then no representatives and no votes,
the Governor and Judges being appointed by the
President.
Second The offenders punishable by the Law
1. Vagrant, lewd, idle, or disorderly persons. 2.
"Stubborn Servants," these Were hired free white
men and women there being no slaves in Michi
gan. 3. Common Drunkards. 4. Night Walk
ers. 5. Pilferers. 6. Any person wanton and
licentious in speech. 7. Of indecent behavior. 8.
Common railers or brawlers. 9. Such as neglect
their culling and employment. 10. Misspend tr hat they
earn. 1 1. Do not provide for thtmselces and families.
Third. The puuishment : either to be whipped or
ro be hired out, by any Constable, for the best
wages thatcan be procured, to be kept at labor not
exceeding three months.
Fourth. The Court which is to try and pronounce
sentence. This was not a regular Court and J udge
upon an Indictment, and with the help of counsel.
Not at all. But " any Justice of tlie Peace, upon con
viction, " without indictment or Jury, if he thought
a person did not work as much as his Worship might
judge right, and therefore deemed by him "idle," or
a hired white man, whom he deemed "stubborn" to
wards his white master, or any one, whom his Wor
ship thought drank too much in common or walk
ed at night, or was addicted tor too much freedom of
speech or not of decent conduct, according to his
said Worship's notions of decency any one who ac
cording to the opinion of his said Worship, did not
work hard enough began work too late in the mor
ning, or quit too early iu the evening, or took too
many holidays in the year who did not spend what
he earned, iu the way his Worship thought right
and finally, one who did not, according to his Wor
ship's notions, provide properly for himself and fam
jly any nnd all such persons were under this law,
by order of his Worship, the J astice, (which J ustice
was appointed by the Governor) to be forthwith
whipped by a-Constable, (which Constable was also
appointed by the Governor) or hired out like a
slave or free negro (and even to a free negro, if
he was the highest bidder,) for three months.
We ask the People of North Carolina, to consid
er this most atrocious Law a Law which gave to a
single Justice of the Peace, a power, not possessed
by all the Judges of all the Courts of our State, to
convict and whip, or hire out a wliite man,
without Indictment -Jury or right of appeal !
Is not the man who made and signed such a law,
a tyrant and despot? That man is Lewis Cass I
Is he fit to be President of the United States to be
Chief Magistrate over a Nation of Freemen ? An
swer, freemen of North Carolina! Can you
will you support such a man ?

Alexander Davidson. Esq.. of Detroit, (savs the
National Intelligencer.) being present at a recent
public meeting, and being called for, rose and said:

this much : I ever have been,-am now, and as long as
I live shall be a Democrat. 1 never voted a Whig
ticket in mv life. I know Gen. Cas w11 ii.o
known him for years ; but, gentlemen, I shall not
give him my vote at the coming election. If I live
until the 7th day of November next, I shall vote for
that true-hearted genuine Republican, Major Gen.
Zachary Taylor, the man who, while in the service
of his country, asks (of his Government no favor,
and shrinks from no responsibility."
SUICIDE. '?
We learn that an Inquest was held, on Friday
last, by the Coroner of the County, over the body of
Robert Wynn, who was found dead on the road.
After.a careful examination of facts and circumstan
ces, the verdict rendered was, " death by shooting
himself in the left breast."
The circumstances connected with the case tend
to show that the deceased a man of some seventy
years killed himself, by placing a shot-gun near his
breast, and pressing the trigger by means of a stick,
with a nail driven through the further end of it.
He is represented to have been a man of steady hab
its and good character. :
THE LATE WHIG VICTORIES. .
What an astonishing I sensation the glorious tri.
umph of Whig principles, in the North, the West
and the South, is producing throughout the Coun
try? What a check to the undue ambition of : po
litical demagogues, are these signal triumphs of po
litical truth ? What hearty cheer do they carry
home to the soul of the Patriot who -values himself
only as the instrument with which to accomplish the
great ends of free Government 1
The voices of the Statss that have just rung in
concert are the voices of independent Freemen inde
pendent of Executive dictation and party injunctions.
The powers of Loco Focoism seem almost spell
bound. The shouts of Victory have almost charm
ed the Administration Press into silence, and pro
duced conviction in many, where the most stubborn
infidelity to the popular will reigned before.
These indications of feeling are not to be disre
garded. AVe cannot disregard them if we would-we
would not if we could. They have come in upon us,
one after,, another, adding new strength to our hands,
and eourage to our hearts. Pennsylvania rejoiced us
with her thunder Maryland made usglad- Geor
gia gives bright presage of triumph there in November
Florida has declared herself Whig to the back
bone -and Ohio, despite unnatural coalitions, is still
true to the faith. That portion of the Administra
tion party, who have been duped by the confident
statements of their leadeirs, begin to ask What does
all this mean?.. They seem as much astonished at
their present prospects and -impending doom, as the
guests at the impious banquet of Belshazzar were at
the supernatural rebuke given them in the midst of
.their fancied security.. Mene tekel 7" has appear
ed in the .Council Chamber the "hand-writing"
is on the wall, and it needs no Daniel to interpret it.
The People have aroused themselves in indignation
and Are thundering at the gates. . The wine eup has

Whigs of North Carolina ! Norn is the time to

work goes so bravely oa. "The Country, remember,
