- The vileh artifccs have been played off
at our election herc.--In defiance Of our civil
uiuages, and the laws, and contrary to the ufosl
decorum Of our elections, the FcderahRs adopt
ei the Euglifh fyRem of keeping open houfes to
excite intoxication and diforder. Men were
led from thcie repoGtories Of dshauch half drunk
to the poll. The scry Committee (called hsie
from the Inn a, which they met the Stnsgeon
Commirtce,) who through artifices placed Gov
ernor MKean at the head Of their ticket only
TO cover their deGgn Of carrying Wilkins, voted
for Rofs. A Jufsice of the peace gave fcyen
perfons tickets, declaring them to be M'Kean's,
but being pcifusdcd to examine, found that the
tiskcts were actually for Rols, and were 70 in
cenied at il that they voted the whole republican
tickct.-7ayya/tos 81 Co. have fhip-yard here,
with about thirty hands employed in il. Their
agent and partner, James Betthoud, had orders
iGued, for any man who mould not vote for
wilkins TO be sifniEed from his employ tnent.
Some Of shc men. more independent and regard
full Of their ineAimable right, voted for the re-
publican ticke,--though they were marchcd in
a body military falhion TO vote! In Ah,gbany,
Bsthr and Beaver coantics--th. fore,er hnpe
and reliaace Of Rofs Govetnor M'Keaa had
i7II votes majority over him. notwithtsnding
ali thofe artihccs and diigraceiuI proceedins,."

"On Friday after the election, fellow of
the name OF Wolfe, went 10 the lodgings of
adge Lucas. and while thsy were at dinner,
truck him by furprizc with a heavy Aick on
thc head, and feIled him to the ground. Judge
Lucas, though feverely funned. recovered in
an infant. aud purfued the sGalin who had fed,
after attempting fecond blow Mr.. Lucas
mapped pifol at him, but il mifIed FIRE. APP
plicaton was made to msgiarate, and a war
rant was iGacd. The conaable feized on Wolfe,
who attempted to lfrke the officer : Mr.. Bates,
our prothoaotary here, happened to be in view,
and A.w to the fupport Of the laws. Wolfe
had piaol which the prothonotasy ftizcd.
John Wilkins, Jun. who was the federal candi-
date, on whom thin Wolfe Is wretched dcpen-
dant, ran up TO aid Wolfe. and actually collar
ed Mr.. Bates, exclaimius repeatedly " damn yos,
let q Z" Il appeared fome time doubtful,
whether thefc viola,en Of the law would not
completely overcome the peace officer, and thofc
vaho had fed to his fdpport, but il appcats that
MIR. Bates determined not to part with the pif-
tol, which the rufiao Wolfe had drawn, and
perlited in bringing the aaafin before nagif-
trate. Wilkins, upon this frmneG, appeared
to be fomewhat cooler, and at length confcnted
thar Wolfe ihould 60 before amagiRratc, making
il however, point of honor that he flnould noe
he forced MIR. Bates. however, iniifted on
obedience to the warrant, and upon this Gen.
Woods camc up and attacked MIR. Bates with
large cane, and the fcene of confuiion asd riot
~as becoming very great indeed. wiIkins
here faw he had gone too far, and az he had
originated the difordcr, war now defirous Of
avcrting it.---What further happened hsve not
learned, but ihall inform you as foon as can
afcertain with accuracy the couria which win

Of order appears to be that Of the f,j6 OB,x~,
