opening at many fthe wards the crowd We very
great; the wings at several places turned out in
large numbers. especially at those places where the
polls do not open until nine o'clock; in the wards
where the pools open at day light and at eight
O'Clock the locofocos and buttenders toek possession
Of the pole, and kept the sams till nearly nine
o'clock. The arrangements at some Of the wards
are disgraccful; at the third and sixth wards the
crowding is insuferable. and many 60 away unable
to vote and the feeble, the DID, the invalid, and the
infrm have 10 leave the polls without voting. The
inspectors who allow this ought to be appoint

From the demonstrations made by the wings this
morning, IL is very evident that they have been at
work early and late, induce voters to come to the
polls. All sorts Of appeals made to the passions
and prejudices Of both parties caricatures of Phil
Hone, ofthe locefoco pledges. Of Governor SMALL
potatoes Seward, of the United States Bank,
Of Nicholas Biddle OF the New York Banks, and
Of all sorts Of things that the wit, malice, and
and ingenuity of both parties can devise are set
afoat. Copies of protested notes made by Gulick
are disributed carcatures OF his turning his cap,
and all sorts of SANDERS and lies are banded abeut
the city. "Noleg-reasury!' " None but scoundrels
deal in pledges!'' 'sNo forty million debtv' .sNo
lover of fine wine and fine women for senator!''-
" Down with the richv' "Down with the poor.'
" Down with the banks.' "Down with the destrac-
tibes" are the cries that assail YOU at every cor
ner. Here is specimen Of the arguments used.
Loco-We don't want no Internal impro We ments
Whig-lnternal, you mean.
Loco-Its all the same; internal or internal. No
state debt
Whig-what do you mean by state debt?
Loco-Why, we don't want no debt.
Whig-Because you cant get nobody to trust
Loco-we WON'T pay our hard earnings to support
the rich.
whig-who pays the debt, when it's made 4
Loco-Why, we do.
Whig-How can that be
Loco-Why, very easy. The wings are in office !;
they borrow money; put It in their pickcts; make
debt Of it; and make US, the people, pay the in
terest. r-
Whig-Why you d ID fool, don't the wings paw
all the money for the debt Amt the wings the rich
men
Loco-Yes.
Whig-Who can pay the money but the rich man
Don't the money come first from the rich
Loco-Yes.
whig--yery well, then; amt the locoiocos poor'
Whig-Very well, then, don't the poor man get
all the money. So the rich helps the poor throus
the state debt; and if there was NO debt the poor
The lscofoco could not fellow this train OF reason
ing, nor could he contradict it. The wing seeing
his advantage, cried out,
"Let's take drink"
This language that the ether unde rstood, and
he drank accordingly.
