BRIBERY AND CORRupTLnN.

Immediately after the late ward elections, we
stated that poor man, by the name of James Ow-
ems, had been oiferd bride of twenty dollars for
his vote, by the corrupt coalition party. The sub
joined affidavit, confrmatory of the fact is handed
us for publication. Owens was known TO be an
honest man, and was generally intrusted by his
party with the distribution of circulars or hand.
bills This may account for the baseness of the
temptation offered the poor but conscientious man.
AFFIDAVIT OF JAMES OWENS.
About three days before the late election, an in.
dvidual came to me in Pine ward, and commenced
conversation on political subjects. was well &C.

only be removed by the necessity of self defence.

JACKsoNIsM UNITED IN THE SOUTH.

JACNoONloM UNITED in The SOUTH.
The exutaton Of the opposition in the South
over the anticipated divisions in the ranks of the
Jackson-men prove premature. There will be but
one Jackson Ticket Judge Barbour in letter to
T. w. Gilmer, Esq. says:
Recent events have excited deep solicitude i'm
my bosom, in relation to that subject. Within IA
very few days, and just upon the eve of the cleo.
ton, perceive the Opposition prints, in yarons
quarters, congratuating themselves upon this d-
vision in our ranks, and exultingly anticipating n
triumph from that cause. If, as these prints seem
TO suppose, their anticipated triumph should be
realized; if in consequence of the divided ticket, it
should happen that the vote Of Virginia should be
lost TO the present Chief Magistrate, it would be TO
me source OF the deepest regret. For, fiom the
commencement, have been opposed to taking any
course, which would in any degree endanger his
reelection. In this sentiment, ] am persuaded
that my friends concur. Indeed, know, that some
OF those who were most active in the Charlottes-
vile Conventions did concur | may add, that
there, as well as elsewhere, where my name has
been presented 10 the public, the proceedings and
resolutions have all been con6rmatory of this idea
Nor, do consider this new ticket as indispen-
SADLY necessary to the attainment of the object
which my friends propose. For iffIom the course
of other states, there should seem to be reason
able prospect Of my election, think that the cleo
tors nominated by the legislature would in that
event vote for me. If, on the contrary, from thn
developments in other states, tho prospect of nv
election should appear hopeless, then the electoral
vote in Virginia, even if the ticket nominated in
my favor should succeed, would be unavailinp as
II respected me-Undcr these circumstances, il
is my wish, that my friends throughout the Cs,m.
monweath should vote for the Legislative ticket.

TROUBLE IN THE WlGWAM.

We understand, that the anti.masonic committee

Philadelphia had meeting or the 18th inst. and
disclaimed all connexon with the Clay party. They
say that their electoral ticket which has been a.
dopted by the Clay men is pledged to vote for VIM.
Writ. Many of the anti-masons attribute the de.
feat of Mr.. Ritner TO the imprudent address of
Messrs Randall Harper, q Co.
MORE TROUBLE.
The Statesman, the leading CLAY paper in Pitts.
burgh, is out against Writ and says, that the electo
raj ticket pledged to support the latter "cannot BY
possibility be elected" The editor of the States
man although be had not head of the doings of the
Monday last, appears to have been perfectly aware
of their intention to abandon Mr.. CLAW. He saws /:
A convention assembled at Harrisburgh on the
