OS.7- The Correspondent of the National lntelli-
gencer, writing from New York at three o'clock on
the day of the election, says
Frauds, and frauds of the most enormous extent,
must, however, in this election, overpower the
! Wings, unless they have great and sable majority,
| effected by changes not yet visible here. Oar II
wards being made into 10 districts, and there being
no registry now, there is no means Of uscertainng
mans right to vote, and it is very possible for
man to vote 20 or 80 times. This kind of fraud i
going on now to great extent. Men change
their dresses and their names, and appear in differ
ent parts of the city, Ifchalanged, they get off by
pretended mistake of the bounds of the district,
and many of them swear their votes right through.
The scenes of last spring are thus renewed. Our
II election is likely to be another farce. Indeed
thing but a registry can approximate toward an
honest system Of voting in such populous and
queen city as this. We speak all tongues. We
come from all lands. We live in all places. 1t is
political Babel, where people are but tenants to
move on elsewhere.
The city is perfectly quiet. The district system
works admirably in this respect. There is no crowd
at all in the poll rooms, end all can get their votes
IN with safety. This is q novelty in New York.
In one or two Of the wards, heretofore, the infirm
have voted at the peril of their lives.
The election opened by A. NJ. this morning
At A. NJ. the Locos were in the streets i'll full pro-
cession. An immense vote was polled a an early
fast.
) In this election money is poured forth like water
The friends Of Mr.. VAN Burn pay as If they were
fighting the battle of the Presidency.
The vote Of New York, whatever it may turn out
TO be, will have more effect upon the State thar
it had last spring or last fal.-HARRIsoYa and SEW
ARD will sweep the farming districts BY Increases
maiorties. AS for the city, its vote will be giver
r next fall for Gen. Harrison, whatever may be TIT
= result now, unless something turns up beyond
= what can now be calculated upon. Gen. Harrison
: has here positive strength beyond that Of tn
i party. The TIppecdn0e ClUbS will soon effect
revolution in politics which it is not possible t
counteract but by the force of mine of gold; 70
such is the warfare the friends of Mr.. Van BURE,
: make upon Gen. HARRISON that the question soo
to be decided will be THE LAST WAR, and the Seryi
ces OF HARRISON in that war.
