We have what we call a State Ticket. cons,iiui-
ing the Governor. Lieutenant Governor, and Treas.
erer, ali placed piece Of paper. and to tia,
ssH,e piece Of paper or ballot, is added the
q the Senators nominated IN each county. This
ballot is deposited in enc box At the polls And il
having been the practice 50 long for each party 10
make up It's regular Ticket by regular nominations
that 1t almost seems 70 bc an inirsc,ion Of Laws tn
dctiaio from II. And every one seemed TO under
stand as well wha, was mean, by the Wing Ticket
and t'o Van Buren, Ticket, they understand what
town and county they live in-and the press, on moi
t,or side. has not. our knowledge. even minated
thai there were any divisions in either party in
single county in the State, except Addison, where
/, is said an abolition ticket for senators was pro-
scented and received very few votes.
Blu, dark, deep, and damning secret plo, had
been foo, 10 cheat and doinud the Wing
freemen in order to be,ray the state into the hands
individuals were selected in various paris OF the
State who were rash enough and pressesl were
found base enough, TO dip into this fraud. A
great number Of what called Wing Tickets were
printed with the regular State Ticket on it for Gov
crnor Lieutenant Governor, &c. then "for Sena-
tors" spurious ticket added in small letters, ex-
oeedingly artfully calculated to deceive the voter
who entertained no suspicion Of fraud and perhaps
L.. Goo ,,o ka
previously suspected that something Of the kind was
medtaied To illustrate the matter more plainly,
we will here copy one or two of the in,erpolaied
spurious iickets.
"For Coz. Silas H. Jonnison--for Lieut. Gov.
David NJ Camp--for Treasurer, Henry L. James
For Senators. Obadiah Noble, VIM. G. Kiitridge
Jonas Clarke
Here is another:
For Gov Silas II. Jenison-For Lieu, Gov
David NJ. Camp-For Treasurer, Henry F. James
For Senator'S Obadiah Noble, c. W Conant Sol
ONION Foot"
II we are correctly informed there was perhaps
fifteen or twenty other substituted in the
Wing Ticket for the genuine regular candidates foi
Senators, and thousands of them printed and sent
over the county misload and impose upon tho
frcemen, and in several towns from which hav,
heard many of them into the ballo, bon
by the unsuspicious freemen, before discovered
Several got into the boxes here before the fraud
detected, with Mr.. Clarke's name 10 it. In Pout
ncy told there about 30 put into tn,
box, with still other names upon IT, The ticket witt
Mr. Conant's and Mr.. Foo,'s name on it was detect
ed in Pusford before there than three o.
four deposited. This was transmitted to us from
Pttsford, with request TO expose the fraud. W.
further learn from the east side Of the mountain tina
there was am edition of COCO Of similar frauduen
tickets printed and sent into Windsor County to de
feat the Wing senatorial Ticket there but happily
the fraud was detected and the plot was exploded il
season to prevent any mischief
What other frauds have been praciised upon tn
freemen by the Van Buren, followers at the late e
lection we unable say at present, but we hav
no doub, bu, that all that has been gained by on
opponents has been accomplished by similar culpa
BILE articles as the one we have here exposed an
it could not have surprised any one that with sue
practices, together with every other device whic
has doubtless been resored 10 by the loco focos

IL Is, we have only 10 congratulate our Wing felo'
C5uzens In this State and throughout the Unite
States, that have doubtless escaped defeat an
carried ticket by greatly decreased majority
and tha we shall have small majority in bot
branches Of the legislature.
