There are matters connected with the
circumstances and disclosures Of the recent
movement Of the administration party,
which warrant the belief that the whole
scheme was one Of deliberate confriyance,
Systematically arranged, aud well under
stood in different parts Of The country. The
dsa0ttaent was reserved until the final
election drew nigh. IN order that the Wings
might not have time to recover from the
shock which it was supposed would fall
upon them, and that tie whole country
might be filed with false charges before
the means OF d:scr9ling them could be
made available. The Globe had been for
some time accumuiating and publishing
statements Of frauds said 10 have been
committed at the late elections in Ken

Administration paper in Boston, stating
that Governor Seward WAS arrested and I'M
dergoing an examination oil the charge OF
being implicated in these frauds, and That
iicssrs. Gnnnell and Wetmore had run
away to avoid arrest on the same charge.
Thus il is apparent that a secret inteill.

spread among the party leaders IN dlier-
ent parts OF the country to each Of whom,
It would seem, part was allotted and the
whole gland development was TO be made
with such tremendous effect as to over

palalyza their action ut critical moment
and thus 70 carry every thing, before
Opposition could rally from their anticlPa-
ted prosiratlon.
The documents which we publish to-
dav, from the Philadelphia papers, 90 to
show still more clearly the uniounded cha
racter of the charges thus brought against
respectable Wings, as well as the whole
Wing party. They eorroborate the state
