But we are assured, by gentleman who lfas recently been engaged in visiting and pro- curing information from the manufacturers ofNew- ark. Paterson, &c. that these Circulars are nai,- ly transmitted to Posindsters, and 6y them hand cd out to thOse .Hantfacttt,ers only tcb0 are hke ly to return such ansWers as .My. Walksr dFSises! or One Hundred Whig Manufacturers our informant has recently visited, not one has received one of MT. Walkers inquistive Circulars, while the onfy sin Loco-Foco Manufacturers he has found (only three oi them American) have each been blessed with the Secretary's inquiries, and will doubtless answer them as per margin. In"

illegal votes at thelast Presidential election. II was
proven the trial that about forty votes were re-

challenged by the Wings. The Register says the
evidence on the part Of the prosecution was very
full, and unfolded facts of most outrageous cha

that the inspectors of the election in Silver
