OHIO sTRAIT-oUT CIRCULAR.

The Straitout-Club of Ohio, which now only
numbers something upwards OF 10000 able
bodied and healthy men-all true grit, and all
wide awake foi Harrison and Tyler-have seen,
with mingled emotions of pride and pleasure, a
challenge from the Ladies of Tennessee, proiniS-
ing A SPENDlDLY ORNAMENrED FLAG
to that State which shall beat Tennessee, in
the proportion Of population, in the pending
contest between &C OLD TIP" and g LITTLE

The Club also have seen with equal pride and
pleasure, another challenge, from the Ladies Of
Kentucky, promising a MAGNETIC ENT BAR

With the most profound Difference for the La
dies OF Tennessee and Kentucky-and nobler
and more beautiful women exist not on this
gobe--the Straitout-Club of Ohio are prepared
to receive the Flag from Tennessee, and parti-
cipate in the hilarity of the Kentucky Barbecue.
The Buckeye State must and aoU beat the

the fairer and better half of humanity, they take
the liberty of Initiating to the Ladies of Ten

"TREA SON
AGAINST THE LIBERTIES OF THE
PEOPLE


ssArise arise, fellow-citiZens, or be forever
fallen. The Wings must be put down, the
principles of our Constitution must be Frustrated,
and your public morals must be corrupted to the
very core"
Such is the language of the Richmond En-
quirer, prefacing an account of the New York
explosion, and commentary upon the elections
which have taken place in the several States
1t is melancholy reflection, that men who have
held the snviable reputation of Mr.. Richie, ac-
quired by long and faithful service in the cause
of the country, should, under the excitement of
party feeling, SO far forget what is due to their
own character and the independence of the press,
as to give forth such representation of the
frauds in New York. Sifted to the bottom, to
what does this amount? That several ,respecta-
BILE gentlemen in New York, apprehensing that
the Loco Foco party would import a number of
fraudulent voters from the city of Philadelphia,
authorised Mr.. Glentwerth to bring on from that
city persons to be placed at the respective polls,
for the purpose of detecting and preventing such
illegal voting. This was done openly and with
out any purpose of coneealment. So far from
its being any fraud, it was a measure to prevent
frauds. And a proof that the Wing party
were sincere in their desire to do 60, trey peti-
TONED the Legislature and obtained law for
the registry Of voters. This measure, which
tended to preserve the purity Of the elective
franchise, was opposed by the Loco Foco party;
and it SO turns out that the only witness who
has testified to any illegal voting, is MIR.
Marks, who, as it appears from the testimony Of
persons knowing him in Philadelphia, is a man
of abandoned character, and that he ALWAYS be.
longed to tho Administration party. five add
TO this the statement of Becannon, who. altbouol
he did not it himself, testifcs that he wa.
told by Loco Foco office-holders that thew baf
voted illegal votes-as many as fifty in one
ward, it will be seen that the only evidence. Il
we except the statement of Stevenson, who i.
entirely discredited, is that fraud was perpetra.
ted by Mr.. Ritchie's own party. There is some
thing appropriate, therefore, in Mr. Ritchie's adj
dressing to his co-laborers his paraphrase of Sa
tan's speech to the fallen angels: aAwake
arise, or be forever fallen" Mr.. Richie ma,
be somewhat like an Archangel fallen, but he
does not rightly estimate his company We dc
not believe that the people of Virginia are fallen
angels.

left Whampoa June Sd, and passed Macoa June

days out the Delhi passed steamer of war

deceived themselves in regard to the expedi-
ton, and were daily expecting its arrival.
The accounts via England of the destruction
of the fort at Bocca Tigris, in Canton riv. r,
by the British fleet, are dated Bombay July

The fact of the feet not having arrived OH

BY the following paragraph from the n. York
Commercial of Tuesday, it will be seen that |
another eLast Card" has been played in that |
city. But none Of these wicked attempts to de-
lude the people will avail any thing. The
Wing party are too true to the principles for
which they are contending, to be moved from
their steadfastness. But they may do harm, if
the Wings suffer their attention to be diverted
from the game Of fraud and corruption which
| they are intended to conceal.
| eFAUDACIOUS VILLAINY!-We were this
morning shown copy of paper, apparently the
New York Observer-what is called ''the out
side"-viz: the first and fourth pages, being, in
fact, and in type, the New York Observer of Sat
urday last. But on unfolding the sheet, the inner
pages were occupied entirely as huge Van Buren,
hand-bill! The design, beyond doubt was to i'm
press the public with the belief that the litors
and publishers ofthat able religious journal, were
thus ssnctioning the cause ofthe admnistrat on,
and its unholy alliances it'll the infdels and gr =
rians of Tammany Hall, and with the nuliRers of
South Carolina. On application to the editors of
tn: Observer, we learn that the act was promptly
disclaimed. Some of their workmen have doubt
less been bribed to the dark deed. viii the Star

to take Mr.. Buffers own testimony, given on
oath, as to the character of the man upon whose
authority he was willing, just upon the eve Of
a great and important election, to announce to
the country the discovery of startling fraud
upon the ballot box. He says:
"But it was very evident that he Client
WORTH was not only THOROUGHLY UN-
PRlNCIPLED, but perfectly CALLOUS; no.
thing that l could say, or that was said by
others, seemed to make the least impression on
him; he would do nothing without some pro-
missed reward"
