MR.. WEBSTER AND GEN. HARRISON.

The last Boston Courier contains letter
from the Hon. Daniel Webster, elc,od by a
request that he would make a frank lvowal of
bis real sentiments in regard to the distin
guished individual now before the public as
the Wing candidate for the presidency; and
also Whether or not he [mr. Webster ever
gave uterance to a certain assertion aiiri5ut-
ed to him by the Administration press, to the
effect that he had refused in 1885, to be placed
in nomination upon the same ticket with Gen.
Harrison, and whether he had ever spoken OF
him as being the "scorn and dcrision of his
foes-the pity and contempt of his friends, '
In reply, he first aludes u the length of his
personal acquaintance with mr.. ii. nlsPeaks
in the most decided terms of him as man as
general and as a statesman, and concludes
with a most uneqmcoca, deniai Of crer haring

OHIO ELECTION

The table below contains the report

ehs counties. As the true returns come
ID the majority for ThOs. COrwiD, as at
hrst reported is greatly reduced, and we
lhlnk the official returns will reduce it to
fifteen thousand.
The democrats have elected seven Of
the nineteen Congressman, and the who's
the remainder. We have elected nine
Senators, which, added to the ,b;r,seD
Democratic Senators elected la,, fall

The wings have nine new Senators and
five old ones, making fourteen. Demo-

ELECTION FRAUDS.

Nearly all our exchange papers printed
simultaneously in different parts of The
State after the election, contain accounts
of frauds practised by the wings at the
polls. In many cases illegal votes have
been received by whig judges knowing
them to be such. In some towns and
counties, more votes have been polled
than there were voters residing therein.
Some wings have been known to vote
several times at different places. Hun
dreds of voters we're brought into the
State from other States. DR.. Duncan
was undoubtedly defeated by illegal votes; ;
and many who voted illegally have been
arrested and put in Jail in Cincinnati to
await their trials.
Such trifing with the right offranchise
the most sacred political right Offree-
men-gves rise TO the most serious aP-
nrebensions for the permanancy of our
institutions. A few more such elections
as that Just held in Ohio will involve US

We last week published the denial By
Col. McVey, of the charges made by the
Ripley Telegraph against him as Post
Master at Cherry.FOrk. We are author
lied by Judge EyIer to say that the char
ges against him as Post Master at
Scott, are equally unfounded; that no pa.
Per' or documents Of any kind whatever
have been destroyed, suppressed, Sc
creted or refused to their proper owners
when called for.
Perhaps no officers receive less pay,
less thanks, nor more censure, than coun-
try Post Masters; and it must be indeed

factors. This, however, appears to be
one OF the means resorted to by the op-
position press to prejudice the people
against the administration that appointed
them. We're we so disposed, we too
might complain Of the irregular receipt
of papers which we know have to pass
through the hands of whig Post Mas
tiers before they reach US. But we are
aware that there exists obstacles in the
conduct of the Post Office Department
which can never be entirely removed.
The Department does not furnish the
country with the Post Masters, but has
to appoint such as may be recommended
by those to be served by the appointment.
Of the qualification of the individual ap-
pointed, in a great majority of cases,
it knows nothing except what it may
learn from the recommendation, and by
that it is frequently deceived. In ma
ny cases, too, no competent person is
willing 10 accept the Office, "a circum-
stance not at all astonishing, when COM
petent and honorable men receive more
abuse than thanks for theirIservices; J and
it is consequently filled with an incOmpe-
tent one, in compliance with recOmmen-
dations sent to the Department.
All things considered, every one who
observes the present operations of the
Post Office Department must approve of
il. Never was there more system and
regularity in its arrangement than there
has been since Amos Kendall was ap-
pointed Post Master General; and we
have heard of no material change since
the appointment of his successor.

the Independent Treasury; because we
believe it, or similar plan, the only con-
stitutonal mode of conducting the finan n
ciaI operations of our government, and
the only mean of preventing foreign in
fuence and our ultimate subsection to
foreign monarchy. Even should we
lose the State, it will be gratifying and
encouraging to the friends Of equal rights
and the permanancy Of our free institu-
tions, 10 know that more than one hun
dred thousand enlightened freemen Of
Ohio have approved of this measure. 1t
will be gratifying to the illustrious per-
sonage who now occupies the Proslden-
tial chair, TO know that his unceasing ef-
forts TO promote the prosperity and hap
piness of the American people, and to
secure them against the designs OF
grasping money power, are understood
and appreciated by the great democratic
party of Ohio, although local and tran
sent preiudices may have caused them
to be in the minority.
