EXTENSIVE FRAUDS.
The information received respecting the result
Of the general election in this State, is such
leave no doubt of the Loco foco, Van Buren, par
~ having extensively practised system of fraud,
such never before known in any country;
and that it is to il, they indebted for their APP
parent success.
In some places their plans discove cred be-
fore the day Of election arrived; but generally we
believe they were SO carefully concealed as TO
cape detection in time to prevent thom.
We are informed from source en- tiled to the
fullest credit. that in Berks and some of the other
counties, not only tho votes of persons who had
no right 10 vote were taken, but that hundreds
Of persons from the adjoining counties went into
Berks on the day previous to the election, and at
other times, voted there early and returned to
their respective counties aud voted again the
same day. This fact believe can be estab-
lshed by the most ample testimony.
In Berks county whe:S there are under 1000
taxable Inhabitants, including females, &c. there
were about 10, 400 votes pollcd OIL Tuesday lastly
about 1000 more than were polled in 1885,
when MuhIeuberg, Wolf and Ritner all run, and
the greatest efforts made by all parties. This
fact cannot leave a doubt ia the mind Of any one
that there were more than one thousand illegal
votes given to David r. Porter in Berks county
and that all the bets made by the friends Of
Gov. Ritner would have been fairly and honor
ably won, had the election been conducted accord
ing to law. ,,,o. norton
of the Judges of the election in Berks county,
were Interested in tho result, by bets that they
had at stake, which totally disqualified thom 10
act in that capacity that travellers, crews oil
boats, beQgars and persons OF every description
were allowed to vote-and that votes were actual
" taken from such persons and put into boxes on
Monday, the day before the election
As these facts, we believe, can all be proved
and there can be no doubt OF tho majority IN thai
county having been obtained by the grossest fraud
knavery, and violation OF Law, we would war;
those who have bets pending upon it not to give
them up until a thorough investigation has beer
nade-and we would commend the same caution
to those who have bet upon the general result
The immense amount of money that has beer
be, in this way has been one of the great induce
ments-and the friends of fair dealing shoul
ounrd against paving men for being knaves.
GIVE have also learnt from York county tina
several hundred men, brought from New York I
work upon the Susquehana canal, not three day
previous to the election, were taken to the pol
and allowed to vote.
We trust that there viii, be a thorough invc.
tigation Of the election in this State, and hop
that none holding bets will be allowed to CIV
them up until it take place and it IS estabshe
as having been honorably won. Information
this effect should be given to the Shareholders.
