BALTIMORE ELECTION.

Corruption HAS become the order of the day - |
Let the reader give the suhjoined articles
lreful consideration, and Judge Tor himself
hether the prediction Of one Andrew jack
Il on, that 'cOr,uptiOn 'ciH become the order Of
day." has rot been verified, within less than
< months from the Inauguration of his sue
essor.
From the Baltimore Chronicle, July %.
We con Tess without reserve that we have
IL, and continue TO feel deep modification g.
am at the result Of the late election in this
lstrict. Up TO twelve o'clock on the day OF
. he election, our friends entertained the fullest
onfdencc that the day was ours-bui, about
hat time, authentic intelligence was received
ON the strong Van Buren, wards that large
umbers Of persons, who were not known 10
lac oldest residents Of the wards, were press
ng 10 the polls, and rendering their votes.-
ne result shows that these persons were per-
! iled 10 vote in great numbers, and that 1t
vas by the accession OF strength thus obtain
d, that the V. B. party majority was secured.
. candid man, acquainted with the city, will
eny the fact that in the first, second, third,
ourth, eighth, tenth and twelfth wards. the
Increase in the Van Buren, vote is out of all
J' the population Of those wards.
1t has been charged, and is not denied that
large number of persons who had been in The
upOy OF the Government, arrived in this city
bu Tuesday and Wednesday, from Washing
on, all of whom, beyond doubt, voted for the
Y b. ticket. Some of these may have beer
Heeal residents of Daltimore-but the greater
potion, unquesionably, were not entitled lc
Their suffrage here. In the first and seconC
wards, the crew of the Revenue Cutter and The
wolkmen at the Lazaretto voted, TO a man 70
the V B ticket. The persons employed on thu
new Custom house voted, almost without ex
ceplon, the same way.
IL these and other manifestations, the haut
OF the government was most clearly discernl
bic They doubtless apprc ciated the impor
taaca Of the election, and were resolved 10 car
ry it at all hazards. We know that The deep
est eocIude was felt at Washington in refer
encs 10 the result, and have no doubt that a
atteCpt will be made TO represent it as the vel
diet e enlightened public sentiment, in iavot
of measures of the administration, proposed {
10 Ie proposed, upon the currency question:
w q ufc aware that, upon this point, our opp
nent- ave the advantage. They may, and I
douJi viii, point 10 their vote, and ask that
be rec iVcd as the test and declaration of Pu
lie op'1ion. But, Mr. Van Buren,, privy as
must have been TO the measures that were I
ken to secure the numerical majority for HOY
ard aad McKim, will not, we are sure, so
ceiye himself. Messrs. McKim and Howa
will not, we are sure, so deceive themselv,
Let nim and them, if they hope and design
act for The veal Of the country, take home
Their arts the indisputable fact that, not LEI
10 Say the least, than nineteen twentieths
thc clear and sober judgement, the real, uns
phisucated, unbought, and independent opini
OF this community was, in the last electic
given against them, in the vote.
