Calvin Hotchkiss, John A. Wendall, and
Joseph Coats, who are men OF the highest

the citizens of Oakland, from which we ex-
tract the following, in relation to the robbe-

"a portion Of the prominent leaders Of

THE HIGHEST HUMAN TESTIMONY, did, on the
night Of the 2lst of August last, ROB THE
BALLOT BOX Of Pontiac-did enter its
sacred precincts, and commit fraud upon
the freemen Of this county, alike insulting
and oppressive to oil honest men of all par.
ties--alike dangerous to the liberties Of the
people--subversive of all law and even of
liberty ITSELF A more astounding outrage
upon the freedom of elections is not recor .
ded in the history Of any nation--a darker
