FRAUD AT THE BALLOT Bon.
CHELSEA, Sept. 1850,

CHELSEA, Sept 1850,
Mn. EDITOR: Ihave time to give
you only a brief account Of our cleo.
ton yesterday. The two candidate,
were 4. Hyde, Wing, and L. B. Vi
las, coalitionist. At the FIRST ballo,
the number Of names up:n the check
list was Ala. Wren the votes were
counted, Mr. Hyde was found to have
226 votes; Villas 224; scattering
5--making in all 445--forty one
more than the names upon the list.
1t was evident that there had been
fraud committed, and upon proceed.
ing to ballot the second time the con.
stable ca Young disciple Of Vilas)
was particularly cautioned 10 exam.
inc every vote to see that there was
no foul play. The number Of voters
on the check list this time was 4O6.
When counted there were found to
to be 223 for Hyde { only three less
than before, } 261 for Villas On gain
Of thirty serem from the first BALLOT
and 2 scattering-making 4S7 votes
in all rightly more than were name,
in the check list and forty more than
were erer cast in the torn. When
this state Of things was made known,
every one cav the extent Of the cor.
ruption and on which side il was
Mr.. Villas was called upon immedi.
ately, by citisen to state whether
he would accept an election so evi.
IDENTITY obtained by fraud. After
some delay, that gentleman appeared,
and stated the extreme reluctance
with which he became candidate and
his belief that he was fairly elected
at the FIRST ballot, but dodgrd the quss'
ton as to the legality Of tho present
election, declining to say anythings
bout It. The meeting coon after dis
solved in great excitnent, after Mr..
Hyde had invited bis friends, and all
who discountenanced such proceed.
ings to meet him on Saturday noxt.
Thus tho matter was left yesterday
but the affair 10 not yet through
with. There is no doubt in the minds
ct any portion Of the citizens Of Chel.
sea. that Mr. Hyde was elected bya
majority Of from thirty to forty Of the
legal voters in town. Mr. V. has
offered, today, I understand, to with
draw his claim to a seat in the lesis
ture, If the matter can be hushed
up. But the people will not permi.
tllis,-thorongh tnrsstigation they
are determined to have, and a largo
majority ofthc Freeman who voted,
are ready to give their testimony II.
pom oath If necessary, that their SUI
frages were cast for Hyde.
But this account needs no comment
the people can readily draw infer
ences as to the desperation and reck'
lessness Of men who arc obliged 10
have to employ such means 10 sus'
tain their political fortunes. The
transaction is working TO the shame
and disgrace Of that party which it
was intended 10 aid--''and the PEG
pie say, Amen" JUSTICE.
