TRGDISe IN FOREIGN VoTEs.-We copy
the following from the New York Tribune,
and commend it to the attention Of our read
ers generally, and Of our foreign population
specially. 1t is by this system of traffic that
the votes Of Irishmen and Germans are
managed too often IN Tins country:
The habitnal and selfish use Of so large a
proportion of our Foreign-born voters by
the demagogues who assume to be their
leaders is one Of the most revolving features
Of cur politics, and leads TO the darkest por-
tents Of our country's destiny. Fhese 70
tiers are honest and patriotic, bat they are
ill-informed and grossly misled by those who
ASST the control Of their votes.
The Troy Wing published the following
letter some time ago, and its authenticity
has not been denied. 1t is but Just to say
that Bishop McCloskey emphatically dis
claims, for himself and his clergy, having
given any c~ountenance to the project or its
authors, or being any wise responsible for
their course. But hear them:

"THE GARDISER FRAUD."-The Bemo-
cratic papers in every part of the country
have spent n great deal of ink in endeavor-
ing to stigmatise the administration Of Gen.
Taylor and the Wing party generally, as
loose and corrupt, because of the allowance
of the Gardiner claim by the board of Com.
missioners on the claims Of our citizens a.
gainst Mexico. Even the famous Galphin
claim has not provoked more patriotic indig-
milton. The examination Of Mr.. Evans
one Of the Board of Commissioners, on the
trial of Gardiner, now pending, has ELECTED
u fact that should be carefully considered by
the Democrats, before they indulge in fur
tier clamor on this subject. We stated the

swindle, and are glad to see it confirmed by
the oath of a responsible man. When Gar.

aroused in the minds Of the members, and
they recommended to President Taylor the
