THE PLoT EXPOSED. The intrepid and true
hearted CHARLES MAYOR, whose speech in Con-
gress in defence Of his brother working men at the
North and IN reply to the assertion Of Van Buren, 8
Southern ends, that the aborers of the free States
were slaces, has been again elected to Congress
from Pennsy lvania by majority increased from
200 to 700, in opposition to the influence of the
Administration and the basest means TO defeat him
ever made of by the veriest scoundrels in the
world. The Washington Globe, which speaks for
Van Buren,. short time before election declared,
"Rathcr than Joseph Raner reelected, and c..
j IngersoH dcfeated and the hopes Of the party at
terLy ruined, WE ARE WILLING TO HEAR OF THE
sPILLING BLOOD, AND THE RISK OF LIFE Yes,
rather than have Naylor defeat Ingerso-rather
than see the man in Congress who dared rebuke
the proud Southern nabobs who would enslave the
freemen of the North, the Administration are will
ling 10 hear of the spling Of blood We have no
doubt of this Rather than have The Wings COM
pleteIy triumphant, that their wickedness might
be fully exposed, there men in Office at Wash
ngton who would rather die themselves.
Naylor was elected over IngersolI, one OF the
most abandoned and ase-princpled politicians in
the country, by 700 majority Ingersol and his
party attempted deprive him of his seat, but they
have been foiled as the following letter indicates:
Corresp ondcnce of the N. Y. Enquirer.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. Ia.
The farce which Mr. lngersoll got up at lndepcn-
dence Hall on Friday has turned out tragedy for
him and his party, and his great eagerness to have
the Judges return him against their consciences,
has lost the Loco Focos Of the County their tickets
unless the Legislature should decide in their favor
Let me explain. The Sd Congressional district is
in the County. On Friday the return judges, that
is for each district of the County met in indie
pendence Hall to make out their returns. When
II appeared evident that Charles Naylor was elected
over Ingerso by some more than 700 votes, when
suddenly it discovered that the "tally list Of
votes for the 9TH ward "a loco foco place) in the
Northern Liberties was missing. And in this stu
alton Mr. Ingersoii thrust himself into the Hall and
commsneed speech. He declared that because
the whole district of the Northern Liberties should
he thrown out-Q300 wing maj This would g.
ect him, Of course, and three of the judges argued
that he right. The Wings refused to yield
After dsputing and discussing until late in the eve
ming, the ten Loco Foco judges of the county
tired when the three Wing Judges ofthe Sd district
in duty bound, deducted the votes of the 7lh
ward, which were not properly vouched tor, and
returned Mr. Naylor as elected The loss of the
9TH ward left a Wing majority in the county. aud
seven judges accordingly returned the Wing Sena-
tors and Assembly men, and made their report to
the Sheriff, who signed the returns and sent them
to Harrsburgh.
Next morning the Loco Focos found out their
mistake and hunted up the lost tally list of the 7h
ward aud the ten Loco Foco judges made out re-
turns with Loco county members Of Legislature, but
ahc Sheriff Of course, would not return them, as he
ordered by law to return only set. The
discovery OF the 9TH ward tally list of course elects
Mr. Naylor, so that Mr. Ingersoll is thrown out at
any rate but his anxiety tor himself has eoparded
his party ticket so much, that he is now the object
OF general maledicton by the Loco Focos-and
probably could not get five hundred votes in his
district.
