THE FRAUD ADMITTED.


Wing or Democrat, the attention to the follow
ing communication which we CLIP IRON Inc
Union of the 25,h ultino. Who, we ask the
honest people of North Carolina, will trust
the destinies of this great Republic III Inc
hands of d set of men who are gully or the
Infamous frauds that The communication be-
low exposes? Remember, too that these al
tempts to cheat the people are committed, not
by the low hirelings of the party, but by lis
chief men. We wish to be distinctly under
stood. We charge not that the great masses
of the Wing party throughout the country
would give their countencnce and appreciation
to such base attempts to deceive the honest
voters of the country. BY no means. We
believe that the great body of the Wing party
are honest and patriotic 1t is for this reason
that we appeal to them, and ask them if they
will bIindly follow the lead of such men as
are concerned in the dirty work about which
we are speaking Such is the lust and pas
sion for power with the federal leaders, that in
political contest they fling to the winds all
ideas OF honesty and fair-deaing. Democrats,
read this yourselves, and pass il about 1t
may yet open the eyes Of some honest, con-
scientious Wings whose reason is not entire
ly encased by their prejudces:

and the northern and southern documents,
have never been called for The whig com
mittee have thus confessed their frauds upon
the people, and lay still under the brand of
shame burned upon their foreheads. Are they
longer worthy of the notice of honorable men,
and shall they, in This degrading position be
fore the world, be allowed 10 deceive and
cheat the people We call the attention of
every democratic paper IN the Union 1n this
