viii, stating his vote on the NEW JER
SEY FRAUD CASE. There he wa
found, with all his apparent amability G
temperament, as thorough placed as tn
most inveterate among the reckless despcl
ADDE'S, who banded together upon tina
occasion, to rob one of the bravest of tn
old thirteen States Of her entire delegation
Let us look briefly into the nature q
that traud, which Mr.. Carroll assisted il
the preparation Of.
Mr.. Van Buren,. with tha view of bein,
the better enabled to carry out his extra
VACANT measures, had set his heart uqol
lhrusling his Sub-treasury down tin
Threats of the people, at all hazards iii
object and aim, being through that cunn-
lnglv conlrived and nsldious machinery
TO get possession OF the purse strings tn,
nation. He knew if the legally eIecle,
representatives, from New Jersey tonL
their seats in the House of Representative,
that majority would be found agains
his favnrle measure: hence a second Sc
of representatives, subservicnt to his pur.
poses, presented themselves from New
Jersey. These came not as the Constitu,
ton and laws of New Jersey said they
should come: they brought not the pre-
scrlhed credentlals-the proper evidences
OF their election but came under circum
stances which stamped their whole pre-
tensions as cheat and fraud upon the
people and upon the elective franchise
On tie other hand, The ropes cniatiUeS, uh,
mere rcally elected presented themselves
clothed and armed piM their credentials
under the broad seal Of their State. the
only evidence which could be righ,fulIy
acknowledged. But they were the OPP
ponenls OF MIR. Van Buren,, of his extrava-
gaGce, and of his ruinous policy, and.
therefore, 1t had been predetermined that
New Jersey should be disllanchisd-
that her real representaives--lhose who
had been elected by the people should be
deprived Of their seats, and the willing
tools OF Martin Van Buren,, should be
vlolentl y substituted in their places. After
wasting month of the precious time Of
Congress, in Tie diSorgani=ing ATTEMPT 10
manufacture representatives far The pc0ple
the creatures and tools Of Martin Van
Buren,, who had not been elected, and who
brought no sufficient evidence of their
identity, were admitted to their seats-and
the representatives. who had been bona fdc
elected by the ireemen of New jersey.
were driven from theirs by tie unscrupul-
Gus act OF an unprlncipled locofoco maj
orIty in Congress. And the very amabIe
Mr.. james Carroll, the locoloco Candidate
Tor Governor, was pdrticipeS criminiS-
parlaker, AN accessary-in this most un-
righteous, this monstrous fraud upon the
purity Of elections. Better things were
expected OF him ; for as he was known to
be of the OLD FEDERAL SCHOOL, it
was thought thai he would have sufficient
honor to frown down a scheme so steepcd
i'll political vIlainy-so stamped by moral
as well as political iniquity. 1t was
thought that he would have the moral
courage to resist the tempter in a conspir>
acy so foul. BUT HE DISAPPOINTED
HIS FRIENDS; LENT HIMSELF AS
READILY AS THE MOST SERVlLE A.

For these acts Mr.. JAMES CARROLL
is answerable--lor these he must answer,

people of Maryland. Aud we ask the
true hearted Wings of our city and State.
can they vote for man no matter how
amiable and mild he may appear to be in
private life, who, as "a politician, could
sanction proceedings such as these we
have described? II there be one, who
will give up his Wig principles, forfeit
his allegiance to his party and his country
abandon his public duties, and support
Mr.. James Carroll, from pricatc and IN
diridual considerations, then we say, tina,
the party is better without such pseudo
friend But we repudia,e the idea that
there are twelve wings i'll Mary land who
will do so.-Certain are we, that no man
worthy OF being esteemed an honest heart
ed Wing will thus act And here, IN adj
vance. we predict, that THOMAS G.

aristocratic parents-who without inner
