ISFATuATIoN.-The abolitionists contrived
at the Presidential election in 1874, to poll
some $4,000 votes. of which nearly $4,000
were cast in the State of New York; being
more than three times the majority which MIR.
Polk fraudulently obtained over Mr.. Clay
They also polled vote i'm Indiana approaching
within an hundred or two of the Loco(oco plu.
rality, and in Michigan they had the fraction
on their side. From the manner in which
their strength was distributed in the other free
States, the result in neither of them would
have been affected; although it is worthy of re-
mark in this connection, that more than 5000
Of these votes were squandered in Pennsylvan-
ia.
II is not our purpose at the present moment,
to enter upon any discussion of the effect of
that movement, other than to remark, that the
third party by its independent organization,
produced the very result which it professed
to be most DESTROYS of defeating!" The coun-
try has learnt to its cost, that the annexation of
Texas and the Mexican war were the practical
consequences which followed it, We had sup
posed that intelligent and patriotic men would
be warned by such examples of infatuation, and
take care TO guard against such follies in the
future.
But wisdom is not always the offspring of
experience in politics, aad instances are daily
presented to our inspection, exhibiting degree
Of recklessness, which only can be excused on
the plea of insanity. Among those most fresh
upon our recollection is recent one in Iowa,
which, from its importance, is worthy of par
ticuar remark.
In the county of Des Moines, which, at the
last election, returned wing members 10 the
Legislature, the Locofocos succeededin getting
Free Soil" ticket, which distracted enough
votes to elect a Locofoco Senator and four Re-
representatives., thereby securing the Iarty as
cendancy in both branches of the Legislature,
and the election Of tw9.dough-face U. S. Sena-
tors, whose only notion of duty willconsist in
obeying the dctaiion of their Southern masters
These two votes may hold the balance. of
power in the Senate of the United States, and
we now venture to predict that on any grave
question affecting the rights and interests of the
free States, they will be recorded against the
North, in conformity with all past experience.
We see, therefore. what serious mischief
these organizations, even when limited TO a
single county, may produce, and we hope our
people will be warned by these lessons of bit
ter experience, since no other seems capable
of producing sensible elfect.-North Amer.

Nor To BE TRIcKED AGAIN-The deceived

Polk and Dallas, because their names were as
sociated as the champions Of the Tariff OF AZ
recollect the cruel trick which was perpetrated
upon them. The studied efforts Of locOfocO
leaders to change front on the question OF
Protection, have opened the eyesof some me m
bers of that party, who have been slow TO be
lieve that any Americans could so far forget
the interests of their country as to break pow N
our tariff policy for the purpose Of introducing
free trade principles to aggrandize Great Brit
ain. The following card, which we find in the
Hollidaysburg Register, speaks the sentiments
of thousands of the abused aud deceived "de
mocracy:"
We the undersigned, formerly belonging TO
what is called the Democratic party, feel call
ed upon TO state that we voted for Polk and
Dallas in 1874, upon the assurance Of the pa
Pers and leaders of the party, particularly in
Holidaysburg) that they were the friends OF the
Tariff of 1912. We are now fully satisfied
that we were wilfully and knowingly deceived
not only from the fact OF that very Tariff bill
being repealed, but from finding those who
published in their papers, proclaimed OH the
stump, and carried on their banners-"Polk,
Dallas, Skunk and the tariff of lS42'-are now
advocating the British Tariff of 1916. We
are free to acknowledge that by deception they
induced us once to vote in favor OF English
interests;-that was their fault--if they do so

FRANCE AND HER REFUG EEs.--The London
correspondent Of the New York Commercial
Advertiser makes the subjoined remarks on the
flight from Paris of Louis Blanc and M. Caus-
sidiere:
"The most curious circumstance OF the pre-
sent week has been the arrival in London of
M. Louis Blanc. Exactly six months after his
own expulsion. Louis Philippe has the salts
faction, if such il may be called, of seeing the
man upon whose theories the revolution was
professedly founded, compelled TO follow him
in his exile. The flight, too, is not a precau-
tionary one, as in the case Of the King, but an
absolute escape from the law. Your Paris cor
respondent will inform you that on motion
in the National Assembly 10 prosecute Louis
Blanc FOR having been implicated in the distur-
Dances of the 18th of May last, when the As
sembly was invaded by the mob, the votes
were 504 for the prosecution and 252 against
it, and that in similar question as regards
Caussidiere the votes were All against 209-a
result which was TO be followed by their ar
rest. but that purpose they baffled BY their i'm
mediate disappearance. You will also learn
that against Caussidiere a vote was demanded,
pronouncing him to have been concerned in the
Instruction of June, which would have had
the effect of delivering him over to a council
of war, but that this was negatived BY a major

those in his favor45S. The circumstance, how
ever, plainly shows that he is the man who is
regarded as the prime anarchist. and that his
life was consequently in no small jeopardy
Whether his escape has been as complete as
that of Louis Blanc is not known, as we have
heard nothing of him in London. Louis Blanc,
bya letter 10 the Journal deS Dcbdts and the
Reforme. contrived to give his adversaries a
parting word and hint that another chance

Tomorrow evening Gen. Taylor, By special
