THE ELECTIONS.

Ii will be reeoected by our readers that the wing
inspectors of the elections la New Orleans refused 10
permit the naturaIixed citizens who had received
their certificates of naturalization from Judge FL
lot to vote, and that the Democratic Inspectors In
sting upon their voting the voting was suspended SO
that the elections failed to express the popular choice
Mr.. Seth Barton appointed by mass Democra'
tic meeting TO examine into and report on these pro-
ceedings. His report appears in the ~ Orleans oou'
rier of the Sd instant, from which II appears tha'
Judge Elliot was Whig-that he was employed oy
the Wing Clay Club to give certificates OF natirs'ila-
ton, and that he gave To persons recommended oy
he Clay Club 500 certifcates-that he charged three
dollars for a certificate. the other courts charging
from five TO ten dollars each-thai on that account
about two hundred persons entitled TO receive cert-
fcates of naturalization were referred TO MN by
Democratic association. Judge Elliot was I'M
peached for corruption, and the Clay Inspectors
finding that large majority of the naturallzed c''l-
gems would vote the Democratic ticket, seized upon
the impeachment preeDce to declare that the Ger
,fcates had been fraudulen,ly granted and refused
to let them vote, although four 10 one of them had
been applied for by them, granted on their request,
and upon their payment Of The fees. 1t may be that
many of these certificates were fraudulenily given.
As they were obtained their request, and paid for
by Them the Wing party have the best right to know
whether they fraudulenty granted or not. But
it is rather cool in them to come forward now and
denounce their proceedings, and thus prove that
they are willing to fraud and perjury when they
can and opposed to it only when it operates against
them
Their complaint is that they were cheated-that
the applicants We're not Wings, but Democrats
This shows that they were willing 10 practise the
grossest fraud by the foulest means-that they were
not only willing introduce fraudulent voters by
bribery and subornation Of perjury, but their subse-
quent conduct shows that upon discovering that their
fraud about to react themselves their nspec-
tors, acting in with the leaders of the party,
forcibly and frauduently prevented those who were
legally entitled to do SO, a means of controlling
