The frauds committed BY the Locolots
party at the late Municipal Election in the
City Of New York are fully exposed by
numerous afhdaylts, which fills no less
than four columns of the newspapers, de.
veloping an entirely new system of OBJ
tanning pauperS and convicts TO outweigh
the strength of the Wings at the ballot
box. The following facts are proved upon
oath, as briefly recapiluIated inthe Courier;
lst. All the paupers in the Almshouse
were sent TO The polls to vote for Morris
and the Locoioco Aldermen.
Cd. The naturalization papers Of q de-
ceased paupel by the name of Jones were
used TO enable a living Pauper to vote the
Locoioco ticket.
Sd. Some fifty or sixty conyicts were
discharged from Blackwell's Island, on
the night preceding the election, without
the shadcn of authority, taken to the diff.
terent cellars and watch. houses for an hour
or two, treated and Toasted, and, upon a
residence thus acquired, taken to the polls
of the Eighth, Fourth, aud we know not
how many other Wards, to vote for Robt.
Morris and his Locoloco associates
Upon such facts no comment can be ne.

Things have not come 10 the worse in

justed that blood will be shed. Several ar
rests have taken place aud We are glad to
see that Gov. King is not afraid to see
that the laws are executed. We are not
surprised to sec the Loco Foco papers TAX

have advocated the asrarian and denoraI-
izing doctrines of the Fanny Wright
School. We arc an advocate foI the right
of free suffrage but still we cannot side
with the suffrage party of Rhode Island,
because they want to resort to force TO re-
lieye their grievances, when by little
patience and Cancellation the object might
be accomplished.

TIE FOUR SEASONS.

They who to warmer regions run,
May bless the favor Of the sun,
But seek in vain what charms US here,

Spring and her wanton train advance,
Like youth to lead the festive dance,
All, all her scenes are mirth AMI play,
And blushing blossoms own her sway.
The summer next Chose blossoms blown
Brings on the fruit the that's spring had sown,
Thus men advance impclled by time,
And nature triumphs in her prime.
When autumn crowns the beauteous year,
The groves sicklier aspect wear
And mournful she (thc lot of alb
