gely of Almighty God, that they believe that they
are duly qualified (according 10 the Constitution
Of VTsinial 10 vote for delegates for The county
OF Hampshire or for Senator Tor The district Of
which the county OF Hampshire is par, 10 serve
in the General Assembly oil this Commonwealth,
when il is expressly declared (by an act Of the
Legislature) TO be in derogation Of the Constitu-
ton and laws, and misdemeanor and fraud upon
the election laws.
For dc Ga-ct!e.
Mn. EDIToR II regret that | am forced 10 the
conclusion, that some Of the Democrats of Hamp-
shire entertain fears ofour being successful in INC
election oflhe Democratic candidates this Spring
These fears arise from The fact of a. w. Me
Donald having made certain deeds, Ga descrip-
tion OF which has already been given 10 the public}
Permit me, Sir, through your Interesting paper.
TO give 10 such, who have approximations about
the success OF onr Democratic candidates, a few
reasons why they should Danish every fear as
idle; for think our prospects were never better
than ct present. ! am, Sir, with few exceptions
acquainted with the materials that were intended
TO be worked pin lord Ansuishs' spurious vote
factory; and, from ms knowledge of them, the
proprietor OF that establishment will never be
able 10 use them rs ihey were originally intended;
but that he should have been careless or regard
less III his selection OF materials, is not mater
Time and circumstances in which The selection
was made. Il was in anticipation Of he "pro-
tective system" being in full operation: il was in
the expectation 81 TIC election Of HENRY CLAY.
il was il contemplation OF what would follow his
election, thar poor .'ANGUISH' made lis selec-
ton Of spurious VOC factory" mateIia!-ihc
poor fellow no doubt thought al iha, time, under
the "proiective system" he could "manuiaclurc'
any kind Of stuff proii,aby; bu, in This instance
al least, Wing prophecy wall he verified: for tbs
factory, together with the proprietor will be blown
'ssky hisE"
Yes, Sir, there are many more whose names are
in the list OF materials 10 be worked up in this
factory, like that noble, honorable and injeper,-
dent young man, q mean) John L. Station. Yes,
Sir, have conrerscd with number Of others,
who say they feel nsulled, and never dreamed OF
anything OF the kind until they saw their names
published in your paper; and somc of them say,
il their vote was good, they would vote for the
Democrats. There are others, who are members
OF The Christian church; who, | am confident, will
not bring rcproach upon The sacred name By
which they are called, by aiding party in 50
| fraudulent an act. Nay, they cannot, dare not,
do it,
One more consideration why none need be dis
couraged, and am done The votes OF Hamp-
shire, TO be made in this factory are men for whom
A. w. Mcdonald has never, 50 Ear as am ac-
uaned, done favor, unless his own Individual
interest was consulted and to whom he is unw-
ling the Right OF Suffrage should be extended.
Democrats of Hampshire Danish all your
fears and missivings. 10 your posts 10 The polls!
every one Of you-and we will beat the Wings,
Notwithstanding Lord Ansuishs factory, more
than We did last spring with their delinquent
lists, auditors receipts, AMI secret cIrcula :.
