THE ssLAST CARD!,


Tor, the first addressed to the editor of the Inqur
err, and Introductory to the others, which wero
written on the 22d and 25th of this month, to the
Hon. M. Monroe, of New York. That written
on the 22d, before the development of the New
York conspiracy, states distinctly the entertain
nent of suspicious that Just such scheme was
maturing, and soon to be used 4 masked bat
terry, behind which to carry out more cfiectually
gigantic system of fraud, by which the major
ity in the city of New York could be increased
to such an extent as to make the electoral vote
Of the State certain for Van Buren, "Arrange-
ments have been made" says Mr.. Naylor, Shy
those in the pay of the Administration, to bring
here Philadelphia) large numbers of men from
the city of New York and elsewhere, in order,
if possible, to swell, by fraud and force, the vote
for Van Buren, in Philadelphia, so to give him
the electoral veto of Pennsylvania. The same
thing is to be done at the New York election,
and men, as l have been credibly informed by
those who know, are now actually engaged for
that purpose. believe, also, that the admins
Lration hope to make victims of Delaware and
Maryland by the same means"
We copy entire the first letter addressed to
Mr.. Monroe:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %, 1S40
s'Dear Monroe-F rom what see and hear a
round me, | am not without uneasiness about
your election in the city of New York. be-
lieve, from limitations and rumours ahoat here,
that the administration intend, ifpossible, to car
nv your State by their operations iii the city of
New York. How they intend to do it, | cannot
saw; but there rumors, all traceable to the
officers of the General Gov eminent, to the eff
feet that your city will be carried for Van Blu
rem by fifteen thousand mai0lity-and | have
heard that intimatIons have been thrown out
that the whole Wing vote will be nulliied.
That they intend to carry your State bya
gigantic system of fraud and force, TO be practi-
Sed mainly in the city of New York, is my
calm and deliberate conviction. / have no
doubt of it; and l call upon you, as patriot
and man, to put our friends there on their
guard Don't fold your arms, and say there is
no danger-for tell you, our enemies and our
country's enemies are more willing to yield up
their lives than their power, and its accompany
ing spoils Their "iast card" is fraud-fraud
fraud. To this they will add violence; and
by the Joint agency of fraud and violence, they
yet hope TO succeed.
They will do with you as they did with US -
charge upon you ftaud, get up stories of fraud,
offer rewards for the detection of frauds, pro-
TESS most Enthusiastically purity that is super
human; total exemption from human imper
fections-thank their God that they are not like
other men; and under this cover they will per-
petrate against you such frauds, as the imagi-
nation of an honest man can scarcely conceive
of.
Watch them, therefore, and be prepared, for
as certainly as the election day shall some, so
certainly have they for eg schemes, such as / |
have limited at, and certainly will they at
tempt to carry them into effect.
l met here, few days since, MIR. Hone, of
your city, and | impaired to him what be-
lieved to be the design Of the Administration
with regard to your city. He seemed to treat
my apprehensions groundless, and thought it
would be impossible for them to cheat you or
wrong you upon a very extensive scale. Let
me say to you, however, that with the office |
holders, desperate as they are, and as k1ietc |
them to be, nothing IS impossible that fraud and |
violence accomplish!
If learn anything, pointing out definitely their |
plan, will advise you by the earliest Opportu- |
nifty. In the meantime, however, let me exhort
you to urge our friends to watehfulness, activity
and patriotic determination to stand by their
rights and their country-for in the coming con-
test they will need them all.
Remember me to Hoffman and your cell
leagues, and let me hear from you when con-
venient
Ia haste, am truly yours,
CHARLES NAYLOR.
Hon. JAMES MONROE, New York City.
P. S-Depcnd upon it, have pointed you
! to the Administrations " Last Card, "-if you
lock further for it, you will deceive yourself,
and suffer in consequence. &. n.
In his second letter to the Hon. Mr. Monroe,
Mr.. Naylor urges upon the friends of General
Harrison in New York, to watch well the opera
tions Of the ofiice-holders in that city To DIS
regard their startling Developments" as they
are called-to have contest about them, but
to look behind them at the tremendous battery
of fraud, for the concealmeHt of which they are
toms which arc conjured up for the Wings to
chase, while they quietly make their arrange
ments for contamination of fraud, such as the
country has never heard Of
81 have fought against them so long and so
fercely," says MIR. Naylor,-'I know them so
WALL have watched them so closely, and
am so intimately acquainted with their tactics,
that when make up my opinion cannot be de-
ceived with regard to their designs. l HAYS for
weeks been putting together their hints, dark
insinuations and mysterious inuendoss, and when
said to you before, as say to you now, their
reliance is upon stupendous system of fraud,
to be perpetrated in New York, depend upon it,
am not mistaken"
Mr.. Naylor alIedges, that Mr.. Ingersoll re-
ceived his apparent majority of 100 over Mr..
MeMichael, at the recent election, by the in
strumentality of at least $500 illegal votes
This, he says, is demonstrable, and will be pro-
ven beyond controversy, when tribunal shall
be opened for that purpose, at the commence
ment Of the next Congress.
