G7One or two Tory papers that we have MOTTO
ed, trying hard to make noise about the New
Jersey election. Some Of them are too shrewd
to be caught in the attempt, well knowing that the
fraud lies at their own doors. Our neighbour OF
the Star instead of giving the result of the e.
lecons Carrie by the Wings, weers the loss
Of one two j. lndred dollars by its Tory brother,
Senator Wall which he saked on the result of the
New Jersey I tion. The Wing Governor and
Council / ect certain votes, and well they
might. Me- HON it known voted without
any right whatever, have been summoned before
Committee of the Legislature, and have sworn
that they voted Van Buren, tickets at the lns,igaon
of certain Administration Office Holders and that
they had not been in the country but ! 2, and
months years, and had not been naturuzed.-
Such votes rejected. But the cutting truth
is, Wall, Tory Senator in Congress from that
State bet that the Tory candidates for Congress
would be elected, and thinking he can save his be,
by raising the cry of fraud he has written the long
stories published in the Tory papers The Tories
struggled in hundreds of foreign illegal votes and
now seek to hide their corruptions in the smoke
and noise created by Thorn on the pretence that
the Wings did wrong in rejecting the ballots

been in the country a short time only

THE WEST Upon first page is commence

England. This important matter, we glad 70

the East, and cannot but result lift be thoroughly
investigated, in blessing to the thousands among
us, who, hearing the exaggerated, in many cases
false rumors of glorious things of the West, and
in connection with that restless desire to keep
moving, which is the foundation of the temporal
ruin Of so many, seriously thinking of leaving
their ire-sides, their schools their churches, and
the abundance which invariably is the reward of
well directed industry here, for the regions of the
West. The late pecuniary disasters of the country
among other causes, have tended TO awaken public
attention to the prospects Of the West over other
parts of the country; and so, also, has The appall-
ing fatality ofthat region to New EngIanders dur
ing the last served to bring the subject before
'he public. This mortality produced by the
uncommon dryness Of the summer and autumn--a
which is as likely to exist next or the year
after, the present. 1t will occur unquestionaly

UTLuTHER BRADIsH, the Wing candidate for
1t. Governor of New York, at the late election,
received nearly 1000 votes less in New York city
than Mr. Seaward. This owing to the bold po-
sion which he took previous to election in favor
of abolition. MIR Seward being rather a moderate
abotonst, not offensive as MIR Bradsh to

place between the British Minister and the Sec
rotary Of State, Is estirely rsksoss Foundation.
There is, believe l am warranted in saying, tie
best understanding bssreen ahas Minister asd orr
Gorernmeme. The Executive has manifested ev-
cry disposition TO restrain our people from inter
fering in the Canadian disturbances. The
strongest orders, as stated before, have been IS
sued % prosecute delinquenfs, and to enforce the
laws Of the land. On the subject of collision be

have already expressed an opinion that mil
itary force would be forthwith sta toned on the
frontier, to aid the Marshal in the execution Of
the laws. l presume question for that purpose
will be in the HANDS Of Gov. Marcy, before YOU
receive this letter. Within ten or fifteen davs,
have doubt, all communication between the
American shore and Navy Island, will be CON-
pletelv cut off.
Major General Scott, am informed, leares
here tomorrow for Buffalo. He is to take COM
n,and of the militia that will he stationed along
tn: frontier, for the purpose of in'ercerting all
intercourse with the parties assembled ca Navy
Island HIS orders more likely to lie too rigid
than too lenient; but such as he receives will be
most vigorously executed. In my opinion, the
fate OF Gen. Van Rcnsseac,'s party is now de-
cided. unless they can supply themselves with
both prov islons md munitions of war, from Cana
nm. which is NIT very probable. Congress are
prepared TO sustain the Executive in any aud ev-
erv measure which NAV te adopted, on the one
hand to observe a state of neutrality, and on the
other to repel any invasion of our territory
