THE ALLEGED FRAUD.

The Register and other Wing prints have
been raising great noise over certain Elector-
al Tickets, which they say were gotten up by
Democrats for the purpose OF inJurlng the
Wing cause To show what foundation these
papers have for such an outcry, we publish
the following Circular from William S. Ashe,
ESQ, the Democratic EIector for the Whining
ton District, from which it appears that Mr..
Ashe himself had these Tickets printed, and
exhibited them publicly on the stump. One
of these Tickets was headed with Gen. Tay-
lor-FiIlmore's name off; and the other with
the names of Taylor and Butler; and in both
cases the names of the Wing Electors were
printed. The object OF Mr. Ashe was TO put
he people on their guard against just such Il
fraud as he had good reason for believing
the Wings would commit; and in order 10
show the nature of it, he held up these Tick
cts TO the people, and warned them in advance.
This was public thing. Every man who
heard Mr. Ashe on the stump knew that he
had these Tickets, as we'll as the purpose for
which he was using them; and such being
the fact, how ridiculous is the figure presented
bv Hale, of the Observer, and the Register
when they crv ont fraud fraud fire fire
with the hope CT diverting the attention OF the
people from their intended msdeeds! No
wonder they attempt to be severe upon Mr..
Ashe He spiked their cannon before they
got ready to fire, and for this service to the
cause of truth and honesty, he deserves the
thanks OF every honorable man.
Wlmors DiStrict.-Tn letter from Tow
anda, Bradford county, Pa, to the Philadel-
phia Ledger, we find the following alusion to
the politics of Bradford and Tioga counties,
the strongholds of free soil in Wilmots dis
trict:
The politics of Bradford county, at the
present time, are somewhat hard to understand
The apostacy of Horace Greedy, from the
friends of free soil in New York, has awaken
ed very general suspicion in this quarter
that the Wings will not adhere to the Buffalo
nominations. In this view of the case, many
who have heretofore acted with Mr.. Wilmot,
are turning into the support of Cass and But
Ter.

things prevails as in Bradford" BAL. Sun.

us of having " manufactured" the Alabama
Taylor Ticket, published in our last fridays

spectacles and peruse the Alabama Shield, of
the 18th of October, 1913. This abusive
charge OF the Observer is so natural to him,
that we are not at all surprised at it.,

UTICA, June Il, lS4S.
The delegates to the Barnburners' Convention
are arriving in great numbers from all quarters.
The trains from the East and West are crowded
with them. Ohio, Illinois, and some other Wes-
tern States will have representatives present; Con-
necticut also. About one thousand delegates are
already here. Considerable enthusiasm exists
among them Herkimer county sends five hun
dred men. John Van Buren, will arrive in the next
train from the West.
A nomination for the Presidency will certainly
be made, or this division of the democratic party
will be abandoned by some of its best and most
influential men here, such as Rathbun, Crane, &C.
Martin Van Buren, will positively receive the no.
mination for the Presidency In his letter to the
convention he declines the distinction; but the
convention will claim right to the services Of
any democrat favorable to its peculiar views.
Mr.. Van Buren, will be forced to accept the no.
minaion, for the delegates aver that the democra-
tic party has made great sacrifice for HIM, and
that it is entitled to his services In return He also
writes that he cannot vote for Glass; and repudlates
the Baltimore convention. He urges the barn.

The meetings which have been held here recent
ly, on the subject of Ireland, have been disgrace
full to Ireland and to America. They have been
got up and carried into effect by politicians
of different parties, with the sole and only
view of catching Irish votes in the ensuing cleo
ton, and the movement ought to be denounced by
all the friends of Ireland. The Tabernacle, on the
occasion of these meetings, has been nothing but
sparring ground for clique of petty politicians,
some of whom are Irish, who desire either to
reach or to retain office, under the pretence of
serving Ireland, In this the hour of her ribuaton
These things must be denounced, and put down !;
but we must not allow the cause of Ireland to flag

What is to prevent the calling of meeting in
the Park, or some other spacious place, of the
real friends of Ireland, at which none of these
young and tricky politicians should be permitted
to fgure-or, if they intrude, they should be
kicked off the platforml We trust and hope that
some movement of this kind will soon be made.
AS for the last meeting at the Tabernacle, il was a

only let them decide upon the decency Of
such journals publishing such diatribes as those
which we have just exhibited, taken from their
columns. In 1910, the Epsning Journal abused the
democratic candidate of that day, for the employ
ment of these thirty-three blood-hounds. In 1913
the tables are turned, and Thurlow Weed has to
swallow his own abuse, and drink il off from the
lips of his brother Croswell, in Albany. But does
Mr.. Croswell himself show better taste in l8i8,
than Mr. Thurlow Weed did in lS4Ol Not bit
He appears to gloat upon the chance of abusing
General Taylor for the employment of these blood
hounds and for returning the poisoned chace to
the lips OF the opposite editor.
Here, then, is an early specimen of the lovely
temper the morals and decency of the party press,
such as it is to be during the approaching CAM
paign, led off by the Washington Union, New
York Courier and Enquirer Albany argus, and
the Erening Journal. Is it wonder, when such
unnecessary indecency prevails among those who
call themselves Christians, and persons of respec-
liability in this country, that foreign nations should
begin to think lightly of this country and its nsti-
tutlons-its morals and its principlesl Is it not
time that sensible, independent people, on both
sides, and belonging to both parties, should
throw off their allegiance to such wretched,
miserable dirty panderers to abuse and bad passions
of every kind, and support that new and high
toned system of liberal and enlightened jour-
nalism, which has been brought into operation by
the independent press within the last few years!
The party journals, formed by party men, for mere
party purposes, will remain ncurably party journals
sti-sinks of filthy SANDERS and infamous vitupe-
ration of all that is honorable and noble in our
country. The public large oughtnot to encourage
such hackneyed and venal prints, by supporting the
offshoots of such nests of niquity and folly.
