From the Nashville Banner,

"PURGE THE Polls. never
has been, perhaps, so corrupt an election
in Tennessee DIS the one which has lust
gone by. To what extent illegal votes
have been cast to what extent individu-
ais have voted two or three times over
to what extent Government patronage
has been made to interfere with and
bear directly upon the election +; to what
extent Bribery and Corruption have done
their work and to what extent Federal
Office holders have interiered and con-
trollcd the election, j, is now impossible
to correctly conjecture"
No doubt--no doubt. Corruption
nourishes in every direction $1,000
more votes were pollcd in TENNESSEE G
than there are legal voters. 1t is the
same every where when the Govern
ment is in the field +; all is rotten to the

A correspondent Of the New York Times,
speaking of Mr. Clsy's visit to Newburg, has
the followng:-
"Just before Mr.. Clay left the United
States Hotel, n considerable number of the
supporters of the Administration waited upon
him, and the gentleman whom they had cho-
sen as their organ, informed him that although
they differed with him on political questions
they would not allow this difference TO re-
strain them from expressing their respect for
his character, and their conviction that he
was actuated, in his public course, by honest
and patriotic motives and that they wished
to take this occasion to exchange saluta,ions
with him.
"Mr. CLAY replied that he felt as much
pleasure in seeing them, us if they agreed
with him in political opinion. lie declared
his sincere conviction that the great mass Of
those with whom he differed OF questions of
public policy were honest and patriotic; and
concluded with expressing his fervent hopes
thai, whatever diversity of judgment might
prevail among them, they would all pursue
steadily what they honestly regarded as the
bes. interests Of the country"

A suspicious looking vessel was seen
las, week by pilot boat near New
Work.. manned with blacks. which eX-

York, manned with blacks, which ex-
cited considerable curiosity and in
tcrest Al the cutters between New
York and Boston, together with the
steam ifiga,e FuIion and other armed
vessels, were forthwith ordered out TO
cruise for her The Gutter VTgiiaa,
we learn by nc Republican, was among
The number which was dispatched to
cruise for the suspicious vessel, but be-
.og short of provisions and water. Il
being The last Of Me month, returned
without having seen the craft" Very
curious to dispatch Government armed
vessel off ON A CRUISE, "shor, Of
provisions ard water" to look for a sus-
picious vessel, the Whereabouts of which
was very uncertain, merely because it
happened to be towards the last of the
month. Ii rolling day had not been quite
so near the last OF the month, il is proba-
BILE that the cutter would not have been
under the necessity of returning from her
cruise Of tpo days only, to replenish her
store of provisions and water. While,
however, the Cutter was getting in her
supplies, and while too, her officers we're
doing their duty at the polls, the news
of the capture of the suspicious vessel
reached us. II appears that she was
taken in Gardner's Bay, by the U. S.
brig Washington, Capt. Gedney, and
carried into New London late on Mon
day night. She proved to be the
"Spanish schooner that was reported a
week or two since, as having sailed from
Cuba with 26 passengers and number
Of slaves, when the latter rose and killed
the former. Forty negroes and two
Spaniards were found on board of her
the latter having been kept TO navigate
the vessel They have been some time
in a starving condition, and one negro
died of starvation"
We really hope for the credit Of all
concerned, that when the Gutter is de-
spatchcd again on so important CRUISE,
sho may be permitted to get in "prOris-
ions and Fdier" enough to last her more
than forty eight hours, even though it
may happen to be "ihe last ofthe month. ~
The real facts in the case Of the Gut
ter's pretended cruise are, that her whole
business out was to land men on Block
Island to superntend tho Election -
She lay of and on the Island for several
hours, and then returned to this port to
give her officers and crew an oppor,un-
~ to participate in the Election. il is
possible that If she had not been thus
employed in interfering in our election,
she would have captured the long,
hw, black schooner"

We think the Treasury of the United
States must have been liberal in fur

where. A certain Sub Treasurer in
