See to what state of things this leads. The
sequences TO the country are truly awful. And
wish that my voice could be heard throughout the
length and breadth Of the land, and TO the farthest
shore of the iarhest lakes, that the whole commu-
nifty be aroused TO sense OF this shocking out
rage upon their liberties.
And what measure Of public indignation is due to
man, or this mayor, who forgets his sacred oath of
ofice-forgets what is due to int gry,-to the laws
and to his feow-citizens, by assisting IN frauds to
force members of Congress, members of Lee

What is due to these officers Of Justice, men sworn
to preserve the If justice pure, and to do all
to detect all offenders against justice, ana to prevent
the perversi0n of the course. These police officers
and this John Swift one Of the sworn vice-gerent'

giving to those sent the character Of the greatest

You may safely say so, from what has TRANSFERRED
But all the frauds have not yet come out: there Is
much more to be told, and will be told here next
week; for these meetings will be continued, 'Pe,

and Justice who rules and regns over all, and even

Mr.. Butler then concluded BY denying all that
Mr.. Gcntworth had said in his last affidavit, and by
denying that he had said he would make great
development by the 18th Of October, which would
settle the election for Mr.. Van Buren,. He merely
said that by the 18th Of October the returns oil the
last state election would be received, and he be-
lieved that would show conclusively that MIR. Van
Buren, would be elected by alarge majority This
said he, 10 what said and if the Wings choose to
brighten themselves with bugbear-a lie of their
| own invention-it was not my place to contradict
And yet strange to say, up to the fifteenth Of Octo
Der, had not heard word OF these disclosures;
that day the Courier came out and said, Well
the 18th of October is come and gone, and Mr.. Benz
| F. Butler has not made his great development. =
And still more strange, on that very day Mr.. Ste
| these frauds. l then remembered it was the 18th
day Of October. (Cheers) Who, then, shall charge
me with fanaticism, or superstition, when say that
can see in this the finger OF the God Of truth and
tect the virtuous and punish the guilty! And strong
in this belief, and undismayed by threats shall
continue to 20 on, and honestly do my duty to him
and TO my country.
Appropriate resolutions were then passed, aad the
meeting adjoursed to this day at II O'clock.
