The frauds committed by the Loco
foco party at the late Municipal Election
in the City of New York are fully expos
ed by numerous affidavits, which fill no
less than four columns Of the newspapers,
developing an entirely new system Of
Obtaining pauPers and convicts to out
weigh the strength Of the Wings q, the
oallot-box. The following facts are prov
ed upon oath, as briefly recapitulated in
the Courier:
LIST. All the paupers in the Almshouse
were sent to the polls to vote for Morris
and the Locofoco Aldermen.
I'd. The naturalization papers of de-
ceased pauper by the name of Jones were
used to enable living pauper to vote the
Locofoco ticket.
Sd. Some fifty or sixty convicts were
discharged from Blackwel's Island, on
the night preceding the election, with.
out the shadow Of authority, taken 10 the
different cellars and wach- houses for an
hour o, two, treatcd'and Toasted, and, up
on residence thus acquired, taken to
the polls of the Eighth, Fourth, and we
know not how many Wards, to vote for
Robert Morris and his Locoloco associ-
ates
Upon such facts no comment can be
necessary. MAJ. Int.

EDITORIAL THUNDER.--The following
from the Madsonian is the loudest peal
we have heard for long time
"Our war with the Senate has excited
us. Hitherto we have only had the fly
ing Cossacks Of the Press to deal with.
These have not given full employment for
our artillery. We have grown impatient,
waiting for grand battle" Such e.
vents will rouse the genius of the COM
mander. We have been plundered OF
our stores, camp cquipage, and portion
of our ammunition. We now find con-
spiracy On foot to secure our person. I'm
der these circumstances we declare that
our eagerness for the fight is more ardent
than it has hitherto been. Our spirits
are moro buoyan;. Victory will be more
glorious.
"We only ask our Republican friends
throughout the country TO cooperate with
us in the war o. principle. Aid us in cir
culating our paper in every section Sub.
scribe, and send the money. We will
play havoc with the domagogues. Our
bolts shall rend the veil of the Temple.
The money changers, sinners and publ
cans, shall be turned out. The whole
political world must be purified. We are
at the threshold of new era. The Mil
lenium's at hand. The pure only will be
seated in the high places, and the honest
citizen will enjoy his rest under his own
vine and fig tree"

FREE TRADE, Loco Foco HUMBuGs.

FREE TRADE, LOCO FOCo HUMBuGS.
There is one position laid down by the
Calhoun Free Trade Party and, for the
time being, by the Northern Locofocos,
who wish to retain Mr.. Calhoun in their
service-which, from the frequency with
which it is advanced, we are bound to re-
gard as the ne plus ultra Of all the argu-
menls. We refer to the comparison
which they institute between Great Bri
tain and this country, and say that high
tariff here would produce the same dis.
tress among the poorer abuses as high
tariff there.
The fallacy OF this favorite position of
the Free Traders"-.this superlative
Humbug, this demagogue catch word Of
the Northern Locofocos-is most easily
shewn, as il contains within its own dis
proval. Indeed, you might as well say
that the heat and light Of the sun are dis.
pensed in equal degrees to all the planets,
because all of them revolve around the
sun, as to attempt to asslmilate the condi-
ton of the labonng classes in England
with that ofthe industrious portion Of our
population.
England is manufacturing country
the United States are an agricultural
country. In Great Britain, the poorer
classes are suffering for bread and meat.
They can get clothing at far cheaper
rates than the people of this country can,
and every article of manufacture there is
proportionaby cheap. Bread-bread-
at cheap rates, is what they want, and Of
this they are deprived by the high British
Corn Laws and duties ON sailed beef aud
pork.
Now, in the United States, the substan-
tial aimentary artcles-bread and meat
ARE plentiful and cheap, and always
must be. On two thirds Of our territory
we raise more than we can consume in
the whole country. If our tariff on i'm
ports were high enough TO prevent the in
PRODUCTION of every foreign product, the
people of the United States might wax fat
on the fruits Of their own soil. 1t is not
so in England, or Scotland. The dense
population Of the whole Queendom must
look to other countries for large portion
of the staple articles of food, not being a.
Die lo pfouuce ehouSn themselves anu
were 1t not for the high tariff imposed on
them by their Government, the United
States could furnish them with bread and
meat, and remove TO great degree, the
suffering of the British laboring classes.
We are just in the situation to dictate
the terms to Great Britain upon which we
will trade with that country, and, at the
same time, to rescue our manufacturers
from the ruinous competition they are now
compelled to keep up with the cheap la.
Dor Of the oppressed artizans.

SON in which tho latter came of the victor. Such
an exciting contest has not taken place on the turf
