wsb.gir TO fear that this unhappy country is on
A.. .xs Of bloody civil war-a final dismember-
..n, If the Union--the destruction OF the present
~ox.rpmeut-sad the ruin of all free institutions.
no vou want our reasons Here they are.
The re yelations recently made, and daily making,
of the gross frauds upon the ballot box, commit'ed
by both parties, gives picture OF demoraiization
that makes the honest heart sick--siek-sieK OF
haman life IL really appears to us that which ever
partv succeeds at the next election, IT will be by
fraud ON the ballet box-and IL so, the defeated lac
ton will not subra but resort TO physical force TO
revenge themselves The frauds At Baltimore-the
frauds at Phfadeiphia-the frauds in ohio-the
frauds in New York, revealed and revealing-and
in spite OF explanations, disclosures, oaihs and a
davi,s, b, the bcgshead we must believe that the
yoiificaI leaders of both parties are guiHy-gutHy-
guilty Of gross and terrible corruption
According TO the best calculation, it appears, that
in the great Atlantic cities there has been Tor three
years past dispossb!e force Of 5000 men, distrbu'
ted in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Albany,
and other towns, who were up TO the highest bid
DER and driven about from town TO town like CATTLE
10 the polls, voting a. often as they cculd-and
laying pipe IN every chy III every ""'o'
Sometimes the democrats bought up these Hessians
sometimes the whigs-but they were always to be
had by those who had the most money. ItapPears
Also that this horrible system of fraud had its origin
in Philads lphia, and was cotemporaneous with the
struggles of the United States Bank for recharter
There can be no doubt, there fore, that the system
Of election frauds originated in the vaults Of banks,
and that il is the legitimate offspring of the corrupt
banking system, which has twice suspended specie
payments in three years, and cheated the country
out Of $50, 100000.
The demoralization Of this unfortunate, unhappy
country has been produced by the banks-and If a
revolution Of a. blood and carnarge' is at hand,
these corrupt institutions will be the first to be ra-
zed 10 the ground. We are afraid Of the future
Unless the honest Of all parties unite and pnt
down equally the corrupers and the corrupted, the
glory ofthis republic is gone for ever We are on
the eve OF great events
In the meantime the gaticn ia tn city is &c
be resumed this morning at 10 O'clock, when some
more astounding disclosures calculated to show up
the morals of the polite ians in more odions light
may be looked for. Mr.. Glentworth gave bail on
Saturday, hight in s5,C0O rather than be locked up
In ssthe toubs'' the whole of Sunday. His snretes
were Messrs. Pearse and Bowen. Mr.. Grinnel,
and Mr. Wetnore, with some other OF the Wail-st-
efiques, are to be examined to-day. On the other
hand, the Wings are not idle. The incorporation
Attorney, n. B. Blunt, has complained Of some arti-
Gle published in the New Era; and last night war
rants were issued by Justice Matsel against Messrs
Slzmn, Bell & Co, commanding them to appear and
answer tie complaint Of Mr.. Blunt The Hon E..
Curtis has also some evidence TO give-possby Og-
den Hoffman, too. In fact these are great days for
afhdavits- if there is time, why can't we get the
afidayits of every man, woman and child in New
York
