Indies, the whole of our consumption is Ii.
produce Of slave labor. Now the portion q
the continent of Asia which we already occQ-

made TO furnish an almost illinljtab!e supply
by free labor; and this company may becone
tile efficient means of cutting up slavery b;
the roots. We observe that the basis Oh
whiehsthe company intended to proceed IS to
instruct the native popu alton in the most a7-
proved mode of culture; and we see no reason
why. IN a very few years, cotton wool may not
become the. basis of an exchange for our mau-

Stapefldous Election Frauds in PhHaGsi.
.f,lsid.--A letter from Philadelphia 10 the Gin
cinnati Gazette, dated on tie 18th inst. says:
81 open my letter 10 inform you OF 4 TIE
mendous fraud that has been discovered in our
city and county election. About 1H0JeaYe3
have been pasted into the book of declarations
for GENERALIZATION, and certificates issued and
noted upon them. The number already d.
covered, it is said, amounts to Nine Hundred.
and the investigation is still going on. \
number sof forged certificates, purpOrting to
osssigned by Judge King, have also been dis
covered. Our election will be upset.
The Philadelphia United States Gazette Of
last Monday notices the astounding frauds as
follows: ...-..-,.. .-.-
An actshas been brought to light which is
connected with one Of the most inquitous
tsaslds ever practised in this country in refer
ence'tn the elections. Our readers are aware
that the Locofoco vote in the city and county
of Philadephia was larger, by several thou
sands. than any one, even the honest men OF
that party believed it would be; no man, for
Instance. thought that there were as many
Van Buren, voters in this city and county, by
several thousands, as there were Van Buren,
votes received last Tuesday; aud attention
vas consequently drawn TO the natsaT & Iiizatioa
proceedings, to illustrate the subject. The
Discovery, We earn has. been made:
IN the book Of tlis proper officer of the Court,
herein are reg istered the nam es and oatlls ol
those en- grants who declare their. intention 10
become citizens, leaves had been inserted this
year IN the record Of the wear 1898. and the
names s-of many persons registered rs eecIaring
