THE ACT TO PREVENT FRAUD
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEC-

HE ALL ~ IREf EN FRA vi
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEC-
TIONS.
The occasion for the law is acknowledge.
ed--the good effect it is likely to produce
is not denied. We are on the eve of a
Presidential election, upon which its effect
cannot be otherwise than beneficial, and
in which it might prevent much spurious
voting. The House of Representatives
passed, by large majority, bill in which
this measure was presented in most un.
exceptlonable form The bill went up TO
the Senate, and there, by wing majority,
it was virtually rejected by laying il on
the table.
When we recollect that prodigious
frauds in the election of lS40 were char.
ged upon the whig party, upon evidence
SO plausible, to say The least, that many
mon, not hasty- in forming unfavorable
opinions of their fellow-meD, fully believe
the charge, we would have thought that
the leaders of tina: one party, anxious 10
show that they, at least, were clear of the
infquity, would have eagerly Co operated
in closing the door against future frauds.
and would have passed the bill from the
House of Representatives, with no other
elaboration than was necessary to see
that its provisions were properly framed,
and adequate TO the purpose. If any man.
expected such an evidence of virtue in
the wing members of the Senate, he has
been disappointed The biilswas lost in
that body, and the next election must take
place with all the opportunities, for bring
ing armies of voters from, one State to
another, which. existed in 1910.
What are we to infer from this9 Simply.
that ut is expedient for the wing party,
that the opportunity TO commit fraud should
exist. 1t is necessary TO their success
that no check should be put upon the
transportation of voters from city TO city !;
from Philadelphia, for example, TO New
York. They have declared this by a.
formal proceeding in the United States
Senate. The voIe OF twenty TO twen-
ty-fye, laying, the bill on the table, may
be translated thus: "Wanted, by the
whig party, several thousand pipe-layers
for the Presidential election in New York
and other cities"
1t is true, thai the wings had a pretext
for voting aganst the bill. Pretexls are

herence to delegated authority.
AS to the discussion at other times,
Than at the Barbecue proposed to be given
by the wings, it was perfectly well know
to our opponents that our proposition was
intended 10 apply to that Barbecue. This
was known from many conversations held
by individual members Of this Committee
with the managers of the Wing meeting
and members of their Committee before
and after our proposition was submitted
IIthas never been disguised that our reason
for inviting discussion on this particular
occasion was, that by making this joint
Barbecue and it being the first political
Barbecue Of the season in this County, a
large concourse Of people would be drawn
together. before the public taste had be-
come satiated with politics and its accom-
paniments, and under circumstances well
suited to calm and sober deliberation.-
The justice of this must be obvious to all
candid men. Instead. however, of afford
ing US this opportunity for fair and equal
discussion before the people, our oppo-
nents have turned this into Rrirate dis
cuSsioa on the subject Of delegated pow-
ers. and endeavored by fnesse and spe-
cial pleading TO direct public attention
from that which we fairly proposed and
pertinaciously endeavored TO obtain, nay,
that srhich ras desired and expected, we
believe, by the great body Of the people Of
both parties, but which the WING MAN
AYERS hereabouts, have absolutely de-
cIined, VIZ: That the Democrats should
join the Wings in furnishing the propos-
ed Barbecue, ,cith free and equal discus.
sion to both parties 10 any eatcnt whdt-
erer.
Stripping the matter of the diplomatic
obscurity in which our opponents have
sought to involve it, the facts arc simply
these: The Democrats made fair and
respectful proposition to join the Wings in
furnishing the contemplated Barbecue and
there 10 have free and equal discussion 10
both parties-the Wings declined the
proposition, assigning bit one single rea-
son for declining 1.-THE Democrats offer
ed 10 obviate this objection when it was
entirely within the power of the parties 10
do so. The Wings refused to allow them
to obyiaie the objection, and did not at
tempt to assign any other reason, and here
the matter closed.
Your Committee submit, therefore, as
their conclusion from these facts THAT
THEIR Vino FRIENDS HAVE FULLY AND
DECLINED THE PROPOSE
rIoN FOR A FREE AND EQUAL DISCUSSION
AT THE PROPOSED BARBECUE, MADE ON
BEHALF OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Respectfully submitted.

Your Committee have thus seen with
regret and surprise the course which our
political opponents have seen proper to
pursue in relation 10 this subject. AT one
time, we are told by them, that we wish
too limited discussion for theL I'VE re-
ply that We are willing to any eA ,nsion
of discussion whatever. Then we are
told that we have no power 10 admit others
than citizens of this County 10 the discus
sion. EVENT. this were true, our oppo.
nents could not complain--for if our in.
vited debaters were admitted TO contend
with theirs, the contest would be but fair;
and if We had to oppose our County
friends In debate with their imported
champions, they had every thing to gain
and we every thing to loose, as they would
fain believe, in the UNEQUAL contest.

This Committee has for reasons which il
hoped and believed would be satisfactory
declined the proposition of The ''Demo'
cratic Association" to participate in The
barbecue for which the wings are at pres.
emf preparing and then 10 discuss the
questions /. at issue between the two par
ties. AS this is the only proposition which
has, according TO Your note, as yet been
made, it is Of course the only one that has
been declined. ~
This Committee Will not do itself the in
justice TO differ with you as to the 'partic-
ular and special" purpose for which you
were appointed, nor will it presume 10
say that your authority is more extensive
than you have represented it, yet unaided

would be greatly deepened at beholding
the contracting and expanding powers of
the said preamble and resolutions, when
you tell us that you shave no power TO

meeting in relation to any other discus
sion than the one heretofore proposed"
and at the same time declare lin the face
of the resoutions) "that we propose. to
our wing friends Of the County TO discuss
with them at said barbecue, the several
questions" &c-that you, ''on behalf of
The Democratic Association, stand prepar-
ed 10 agree to any extension of invitation
however general--any freedom of discus
sion however large.'' This Committee
will be pardoned for expressing its as
constituent at the flexible nature of
power SO limited in relation to those things
that are not prohibited 10 it--so extensive
and accommodating beyond its express
limits.
Your Committee having declined any

having no power 10 hear any proposition

reformation was delivered by the Hon. Mr.. Bel
