THIRD DISTRICT, ,PA.-The election Of
Charles J. lngersoll in the third Congressional
District by SO large majority, and under an
Election Law which ensures lsrn.ss at the
polls, hns comepletly convinced the public that
the allegations Of fraud heretofore made by the
democratic party were true, and that he has
twice been cheated out of his is sea, IN Con.
gress. Candid men of all parties are rresisti-
bly led TO this conclusion when The results arc
before them. The fact is evident from The re.
turns that Charles Naylor WIS never legally and
fairly elected, and that in all probability the i'm
preston entertained as to the extent ofthe frauds
practiced to him the return, fell far short of The
ruth.-Naylor, therefore is cow occupying and
has occupied for several sessions, station A.

in reality he has not the shadow ofa claim. and
should he persist in retaining it, he mus, do so
in the very face ofjustice and in defiance ofpub
