"FRAUDL FRAUO!r"


The Chronicle has found Mares Nest.
The last Chronicle says that "On Monday
Locofoco of Baden County, who formerly
resided in this town, being here on that day,
exhibited to two Wings of Wilmington two
basely fraudulent Wing Presidential Tickets,
which he said were handed TO him by VIM S.
Ashe, the Electoral candidate for this District
on the Cass ticket" SO far as MIR. Ashe is
concerned with these fraudulent tickets, he
speaks for himself. But the Chronicle says
that these fraudulent tickets were i" printed at
the office OF the Journal" and thereby would
have his readers TO understand that we have
committed fraud. Is the Chronicle 80 stu
pid az not 10 know we are incapable of COM
hitting frauds of any kind. We think Ike
himself Well, now, we tell the Chronicle,
that the tickets were printed al this Office
But the Chronicle knows as we'll as we do,
the object for which they were printed. It
was 10 show TO the people how they Ohe
Wing leaders, could, and in all human proba
hility would, try TO deceive them, by leaving
off of the ticket the name Of billiard Fillmore,
who they (he Whigs) know large portion
Of the Southern Wings will not vote for, and
also to show how the deception could be prac-
tiSeA. The object aimed at has been accom-
! plished, so far as it has been in the power OF
Mr. Ashe to do so. The Chronicle must be
very stupid Of understanding, if he supposes
that the Democrats would print tickets to cheat
! themselves out of votes. He knows the gen
uine Wing Electors names were on the three
tickets which he says, and which we admit,
were printed at the Journal Office. He knows
too, IT is matter OF no earthly consideration
whose name, or whether any name at all,
heads the ticket, so that the names of the gen
uine Electors are upon it. He knows these
facts as we'll as we do. He knows too, that
a fraud has been attempted by the Wings in
Virginia, by leaving off their ticket the name
of MI!ard Fillmore. We say he knows these
facts And he knows further, that it is moi
in human nature for any man of sense to DC
an act by which he is to be the loser. Sill
he charges US with committing base fraud
Out upon such hypocritical receptions.
MORE WING TRICKS-FRAUDS.
We have in our possession an Alabama
Wing paper, from which was cut eight Taylor
Electoral Tickets Upon these Tickets The
name of Fillmore does not appear, They are
headed CA SOUTHERN MAN, WITH
| SOUTHERN PRINCIPLES" The next line
is {" TAYLOR Electoral Ticket" and then fol
lows the Wing Electors names for the State 0
Alabama. The above are all the names which
appears upon the Ticket. 1t is one OF tn.
most bare faced frauds we have ever known
If Taylor and Fillmore should happen 10 b.
elected, we tell the people now, that it will b.
through tricks and frauds Of the blacklist kind
The Wings know the people Of the South will
not vote for so black an AbotioniSt as MIL
LARD FILLMORE, and this is the reason
why they have suppressed his name from thei
Tickets. Our Electoral candidate, Mr.. Ashe
has already exposed the manner in which
was firmly believed the Wings intended Il
cheat the people. And right upon the bac
of this exposition, (for which act the Wing
have become desperately wrathy with him.
we have proof positive OF the facts which h
has endeavored 10 demonstrate 10 the people
Democrats, look ,reH to your Tickets. w
! have every reason to believe that the name {
Cass and Butler will be printed on some of tn
y Federal Tickets We have reason for beliey
ing this or we would not tell you so. W
. tell you again, 10 look we'll to your Tickets
It and vote no Ticket but the right one, whic
8 which appears at the head of our paper 70
!. cannot be too cautious.
It Look 1rel to your Tickets. This is the la
e time we can warn you. In order that our rea,
l. ers may see more into this fraud, we copy ii
4 Ticket alluded to above verbatim -
>, From Alabama Wing paper.
SOUTHERN MAN.
IS WITH SOUTHERN PRINCIPLES.
TAYLOR ELECTORAL TICKET.
