This is the last week of the campaign Therefore, we
say the honest OF the country look out for hum
bugs-look out for Roorbacks--ook out for frauds
To the Editor of the Union:
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 80, 1s4s.
My DEAR Recent disclosures concerning certain
letters purporting to from General Taylor sutng
his political views to the various localities through
out the country, and which now to be published
the of our election, fully account for the
which was in vogue in the city some two three
man (his name now forgeD from New Orleans, having
some dozen letters OF the various phases requredsome
for the free soil abolition, for the ultra whg"
s e p ad his
adjutors in this city, when ne continued his Journey to
the native American city of Philadelphia to New York.
and other localities at the North
This, in my view considering the notorious fact that
number OF private letters have been shown in various
sections OF the country to exist viz; one in the hands OF
Mr.. Bates of Massachusetts, one with Mr.. Corwn of
Ohio, and some with Others at the North, showing Gen
Taylor to be pledged in favor OF the principle of the Will
mot Provso, and one in the hands OF Dr. Pann of Vr-
ginia backed it has been by the statements of Messs
Peyton Pentiss and others at the South showing that
General Taylor pledged against the Proviso, is su
cient indication that most daring and consummae fraud
is being attempted to be pracsed upon the American peo
pie by the federal pary and that his friends, by lending
his to the fraud, without attempting to expose it,
wink at il, responsible for it, and should be held
countabe at the bar of public opinion for the criminal
design of wlA and deliberate fraud upon the elective
franchise.
Please sound the ALARM not only on the above, but
upon the twin sister being committed by Gen. Taylors
supporters, circulating throughout the States, and put
ting the hands of persons regarded democrats (but
in fact Judas aitors) for distribution the day of cleo
ton, spurious votes Some, informed, votes for
Lewis Cass for President and William o. Butler for
Vice President" no electors. Others are headed
above, with the wing electors attached. Others, still,
headed alternately with and the other democratic
State electors, but the residue whg. These spurious
be use in the doubtful States honest dem
ocras and the effect, if the end is accomplished, will be,
that those who these spurious votes either lose their
surages or vote directly for the federal candidates
1t but proper that the people at large should be made
OF these foul schemes 10 cheat them out of their
rights. Very respectfully, &c.

CHAMBERsBuRG PA.,) Oct. 80, 1s4s
The coming contest in Pennsylvania will be severe

being arranged and both parties struggling with all
their might to accomplish perfect organization The
wings, as usual, are boastful They crow Justify over
what they wish TO think their recent grand triumph
But the other hand, il ever determined to
succeed and if perfect confidence in their ability to do
perfect confidence in their glorious prnc plesperfect
be taken the criterion of then surely Cass and
Butler will sweep the State by a large majority.
have seen letters from influential men in every part
OF the State-have conversed with those who do know
and you that Pennsylvania has not abjured
the democratic faith. The vote for Canal Commissioner
and more especially the VOTE evidences
of this With all the apathy and overconfdence of the
democrats it will be by the official returns that
righully belonging to the democratic party, which
not poed in October, but certainly lO be in November
be added to the majority on the congressional vote
shall carry the State by 10000 This estimate may seem
The banks have accomplished their object in the election
of Johnston. The free soil seeing their error,
and the game played upon then at the recent election
The wfuly false assertion that Taylor friendly to the
abolitonists has lost its weight with that party, and
above ALL the democrats are thoroughly aroused. The
latter of itself is sufficient guarantee of success
Mr. Bachanan's speech has been received with great
favor in every part OF the State where has been received
and strong effort should be made to place 1t IN the hands
of every voter.
Be Of good cheer-there is better day coming; and
do assure you il will be aproud day for democracy.
