The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1840-10-27

IL is but day or two since two gentlemen, be-
tween this city and Philadelphia, were convers-
ing together about the elections, and expressing
a confidence that Pennsylvania would go for
Harrison, when a paid bully and agent in the
pay of the Post Office Department, rudely inter
fered, and offered to bet $1,000 that Pennsylva-
MIA would go for Van Buren,. The insolent hire
ling was rebuked for his impertinence but
where does he get his money TO travel and Del
with and on what is his confidence grounded
The reader can guess

Look at the loco foco frauds in New Jersey.
The Newark Advertiser Of late date is full OF
the details. We give few specimens;
In one Of the towns of Middlesex where post
master deputy collector, and another partisan oil MT
Van Buren, were the inspectors oil election numerous
instances Of fraud amply vouched are said to have
taken place.
In the case of one individual who offered to vote
and was challenged the inspectors were informed by
a respectable person, that the ndivlduai hau aoH'e

Another individual was challenged for nonresi-

months ago. II also stated that the voter now
kept an oyster cellar in New York, and the witness
said he had seen him there. One OF the inspectors

II has been ascertained in Philadelphia that
1873 Harrison voters were driven away from the
polls in Spring Garden, on the 18th inst. and
deprived of the right Of voting by hired loco
foco builies. The Philadelphia Standard con-
tains the affidavit of 81 Of these voters, who
were thus brow-beaten.
But these are not all, nor will time or room
permit us to go into all the frauds Of the loco
foco fedeIalists, which are constantly coming to
light in every part of the country.
| There are few of a different nature OF which
our friends should be duly warned. The Loco
Focos will resort to any device, however wicked,
to accomplish the darling object Of retaining
their offices. Every voter should do his duty,
regardless Of any thing they may say or do It
is said the: the Van Buren, men in Philadelphia
have got up perfect fac simile Of the Cincinnati
Gazette in mourning, and announcing the death
| Of General Harrison. Their intention is to cir
culate thousands Of their forgery among the vo-
tiers of Pennsylvania.
In Ohio they are electoneering for the aboli-
ton ticket, assuring their friends that the aboli-
tionsts can thus get votes enough to defeat the
Wings.
Be prepared, fellow-countrymen, for every
trick and publication at the polls. 1t is asserted
that the Loco Focos have FORGED two letters
purpoHing to come from Gen. Harrison, one
against the aboltionists, to be used in the North,
the other against slavery, to be used in the
South on the day Of the election, or whereabouts.
Look out again for spurious electoral tickets
A correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer
writes:
:" An arrangement has been entered into in this
State and believe in all the large States add ano-
theI name to the Wing electoral vote, and thus vats
the whole ticket.
name added, and then Wing is to be obtained to
circulate the spurious tickets. know the party think
they can in this way, introduce enough of these votes
to give the vote of this State TO Mr. Van Buren, An
honorable war ! like, but | despse trick of this
kind"
| Fellow-citizens, these are the "last cards" of
the expiring faction. Stand TO your arms. Be
neither deceived, inundated, or disgusted.' Do
YOUR DUTY. The men who have cheated you
with false promises for years will cheat you now
if il be possible. They ARE RUNNING NOBODY
nor THE VICE PREsDENcY-and if they defraud
the people of their choice of Vice President,
they will also rob them of their President Hold
them to the issue before the c.,untry. Be not
diverted from your purpose. Remember that all
their cards of Cowardice, Abolitionism, Iron
Cages" forged circulars, selling white men, &c.
&c. have failed, and that they can do nothing
over which truth will not ultimately prevail.
Sound then to the onset, and let the battle cry
ring through the hills and valleys Of the country,
till, like the walls of Jericho, the Castles of
Humbug, Imposture, Fraud, Corruption, and
Locofocosm shall tumble forever in the dust
