The excited people of New York are surrounding the
courthouse, and calling out for the papers-and we
trust for the sake of truth and justice that the seals
may be broken, and the contents OF the mysterious
package fully revealed.
The story that the ruians of Philadelphia were car
red ~ York. not for the purpose OF voting, but oil pre-
venting others from voting, in unison with the whole
1t fasriuud IN fraud. IL is directly contra
dicted by Young his affidavit made at ~ York, by the
testimony of Shuz, of Marks and Of others-by the
refusal of Glenworth himself TO the question,
upon the ground that he might convict himself, when
if it were true there would have been guilt in the
transacton-by the very character of the scoundres
employed, and by their voting themselves and not de-
tecting single bad vote in others. With what force
do the Democratic Central Committee Of Albany, in
their address to the Democracy OF New York; tear tins
miserable subterfuge To pieces? Hear them
1--WE call the particular attention Of the reader to the
Ieyculpatory testimony Of Richard NJ. Datchford. lie
admits that agent went TO P:ladc phla Tor men, and
that money was paid by him for this object. And ne
alleges that these TO be broug on to detect
Illegal voting in the city of New York. And what was
the character OF the men introduced by Mr. Bntchord
money preserve the purity Of the elective franchise
The Eve. Post states that among them were The most
d.spcrale iercs md cions to found the city Of Phi
nephia-men who, according TO the statement OF one
Of the Philadelphia police constabcs, ir0ud SDear IN
their rotes IN crery acard in the city Such was the
character of the men brought on from a neghboring
city, to preserre the purity Of the eleettoe franchise IN the
city of New York
'And this was done under the plea, that the "Loco
Focos' intended to introduce voters from Philadelphia
But there has been proof that the other party nitro
duced any Illegal voters from Philadelphia or ever at
tempted any thing of the kind With army of des-
peradoes brought frsm Philadelphia to New York, at
an expense of several thousand dollars and which
paid out fte fund raised by the Wing party; is IT not
remarkable that not single of detection is shown,
nor is il pretended that any attempt OF the kind
was made by the Democratic majority.
aThe truth is, these desperate and abandoned men
were imported into New York, not to detect illegal vot-
ing but 10 practise it themselves in every ward IN the
city: and defraud the honest resident electors out OF
their rights and to impose upon them representatives.,
whose principles were not in unison with those OF
majority of the voters of the city. Captain Shnltz
himself a decided Wing, and board of whose boat
portion Of these came from Amboy to New York,
says that he told the Wing agent, in reference 10 the
transaction of bringing these from Philadelphia,
shat he ought to be ashamed of HIMSELF the whole
thing was contemplate And he adds as follows: T0m
strong and ardeat Whg, and hare ai'cays Jeiiered
these men ,cere brought to This city 10 uotc. 1t is
shown BY other testimony that they did vote and
in the ward, by changing their clothes and other
devices to prevent recognition.
"What then becomes of the pretence set up by Mr..
Blatchford, that these men were brought on with the
view of detecting illegal voters Of the other party, from
Philadelphia. No such voters deected--none Of
fcred were brought on for any such pur
pose by the Democrats, while those brought on by the
Wing agents did yotc-were brought tor the express
purpose of yoiing-and exposed and detected.
sThe authors abettors and agents of this foul plot
against the purity Of the elective franchise and the
ccdness Of the ballot, ought to be held up the
and Indignation of viriuous and honest community,
in all time to come.
MONO. The whole Plot is infamous from begin
ming to end. The fraud is proven-tle guilt confess
ed on the part of some of the agents; and ga whip
ought to be put into the hands Of every honest man,
to lash the rascals naked through the world. Every
Wing press in the Union ought to denounce them
1t ought TO be the interest of all parties 10 preserve
hoiy the purity of the right of suffrage. But have
no, act arrived at the bottom of the Well. Grariora
monent. We expect every mail to bring us more and
more important developments.
We surprised at any delusion which the Wing
leaders palm upon themselves upon others.-A Cor
respondent in Cumberland gives an account Of the
extraordinary Speech which Mr.. Leigh delivered in
tia. county October Court ale made long Speech
He gave us an account of his late visit to the North
aud said that the Van Buren, party in the New England
States is The Abolition party and the Wing party there
is the Anti ABOLITION party. But SIR, fortunately for
US we have some little information of the actings and
doiRgs of the respective parties In the North as well as
MIR. Leigh, and we beg leave to join issue with hun
