Democratic Corruption.

The history of the West. though ranging
over only limited period, is pregnant with in
structive examples Of the working Of Democ-
racy in districts where its sway has been most
absolute. Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
| Wisconsin, and Iowa abound with evidence of
fraud and corruption perpetrated with mpu-
| nifty under Democratic rule. Their records
are pregnant with proofs of the fact that the
Democratic party, after obtaining power as the
champions of economy, have throughout sig
nalized themselves by an amount of jobbing,
trickery, and plunderng for which we vainly
seek parallel.
The Wings Of Michigan are doing good ser
vice in the campaign by bringing to light trans
actions through which Democratic Legislators
ard Office holders have contrived to enrich
themselves and their friends at the expense Of
the community. The State Journal, recently
established at Lansing. the capital, has had
access to portions of the record, and is startling
the State by revealing the manner in which
Michigan Democracy has discharged its duties
to the people. We abridge from the Journal
Of the 9TH instant few paragraphs exhibiting
the working of the system; adding an expires,

tons Of the West will enighten the country
by tracing the progress of the same party in
their respective localities:

"Lnst Cards"

One OF the most disgraceful features of our Pre-
sidental contests is the Inscriptions resort which
generally marks their close to whatever faschoods
and forgeres promise to advance the cause. The
pending canvass promises to be unusually fruitful
in these iniquities.
We hear of one which has been quietly operat-
ing in certain portions of Pennsylvania for some
weeks past and which has but just been detected.
A very decided movement had taken place among
the Irish portion Of the population, who had bth-
ero voted the Democratic ticket, in favor of Gen
cral Scott; and this had become so marked and
menacing to the Democratic party, as to call for
energetic measures in opposition to 1t. For the
purpose of accomplishing this end, circular let
ter had been prepared and secretly circulated
among the Irish, urging them to vote as they had
done hitherto for the Democratic candidates, and
not to be influenced at all by the fact that the con
stitution of New Hampshire excludes Catholics
from office. This letter bore the signature OF
Archbishop Hughes and two or three Catholic
priests and purported to come from them. II had
been in circulation for some time, until a copy
accidentally fell into hands for which II was
not intended; and this led to an inquiry into its
authenticity. We hear further that Archbishop
Hughes has pronounced It TO be forgery.
This lie probably but one OF many attempts that
will be made, during the short period between
this time and the day Of election to obtain votes
under false pretences. More barefaced viainy 1t
is difficult to imagine.

THE REPUBLIC.

We subjoin an extract of letter from an
intelligent Wing at Carlisle, Pa, which shows
that there is reason to expect large increase
in the Wing vote of Cumberland county at
the November election:
"CARLIsLE, October IA, 1852.
"sR: The Wings, have carried one Wing men,
Der and their sheriff. Donald son is defeated by
from thirty to fifty votes. The Democratic ma
jority is from one TO two hundred in the county.
Very small vote out Our strong Wing township,
Monroe, only gives thirty five majority; it should
have given eighty. The reason for this is that the
Wings remained at home. General sooTT can get
in this township majority of one hundred with
out doubt. The county, think, is safe for ScoTT
"The returns coming in very slowly. have
no reliable fig ures to send you.
"The Wing majority will be about two hundred
over their highest man, and perhaps five hundred
over the other. So says report"

The Havana DiHaculty.

The recent proceedings of the authorities Of
Cuba, in reference to the detention of the
harque Corneiia, and the refusal to allow the
mail steamer Crescent City to land her pas
sengers, have called forth strong manifestations
OF public feeling in various cities. New York
aud New Orleans have been the scenes of large
meetings, at which the action of the Captain
General of Cuba has been denounced in terms
not less severe than those applied to the rule
imposed by Spain upon the richest of her col
onies.
The two occurrences, as now understood are
well calculated to produce this excitement. Ii
is alleged, in one instance, that mail steamer
was not permitted to enter the port Of Havana,
or to land her passengers, in consequence OF
having as her purser an individual who has in,
Cured the disPleasure Of the local authorities
and, in the other, that New York barQue was
temporarily seized by Spanish troops, her master
carried on shore in custody without proper pre-
tence, and that her letter-bags were rifled in
search Of letters and documents Of an obnox.
lous character. This is the statement as it is
now before the American people; and we admit
that if the facts be as they are thus described
they afford justification for much of the crit
cism that has emanated from the press upon
the subject.
At present, however, we are in possession O.
only er parte representations. Our Govern
ment have no knowledge of either of the cases
beyond that derived from the published accounts,
which, however accurate in their general tenor,
scarcely form satisfactory data for tho direction
of governmental policy.
With the view OF ascertaining the whole
aspect Of the affair, it is understood that Judge
CoNKLING has been instructed, during his
stay at Havana, to obtain a full and authentic
statement Of the facts connected with the pro-
ceedings. The country will perceive, there
fore, that the Government are not Indifferent
to the force of the events, or unmindful of the
steps which they have rendered necessary.
What further action may be called for in the
premises, is question altogether dependent
upon the result OF the inquiry now authorized.

enormous one. They afterwards re-let these same
jobs two thirds Below the price at which they had
contracted, and pocketed large sums, simply as
contractors.
1--WE know another commissioner who was
silent partner in a large job. Before work to the
amount of fifty dollars had been performed on that
job he drew, in the name of his partner, one thou
sand dollars in warrants. We believe several OF
the commissioners understood and practiced the
game of issuing certificates 10 theit friends before
the Jobs were scarcely comnienced.l Besides this
large sum, there We're amounts drawn on that job
more than equal to the price that other contractors
received for similar jobs, to say nothing of the
large amount drawn for plank that was never fur
nished.
"The sudden issue of 30 large an amount of land
warrants by the different commissioners of course
greatly deprecated their value, and by the time
the poor man had completed his job, and obtained
his 100 warrant, he was compelled to locate
secondary quality of land, or fovced to sell his
warrant for $s5, or even $so.<
"We believe about all the commissioners made
reports of their dongs before the adjournment Of
the Legislature of ls49 The Secretary of State
forwarded these reports, copies, to the House or
Senate; they were referred to some committee, and
mat was Inc last OF tnem. NO allusOn mas ever
been made to them by legislative committee, by
any Governor, or by any State officer, although
some OF these officials must have known-in fact,
they did knoto-that many of these appropriations
were uselessly squandered, and that certain com.
missioners were guilty of gross corruption in their
official care of them. Where commissioner was
disposed to act in good faith and for the interest
of the State he could not expend the appropriation
to good advantage, because Of the great deprecia.
ton of the warrants, and consequently of the value
of the lands.
"a Legislative examination might expose to the
gaze of the people OF the State of Michigan some
of the corruptions Of the party in expanding this
100000 to S250,000 fund. Therefore exam
inaton has never been desired by them. Probably
the commissioners understood from the commence
ment that they would never be called to &C
count for their proceedings. But the lands are
gone and our rulers satisfied
