VOTING PLACES IN RUM-sHOPs

In 1852, with view to protect peaceable citi-
zens from the annoyances, the rufianisms, and
even danger to their lives, which threatened
them in many instances at the polls, the follow
ing ordinance was adopted by the Common
Council:
No premises shall be designated as the place for
holding the polls of any election within the City or
County of New. York, any part of premises where
Intoxicating liquors are sold to be used as beverage
The obvious propriety of such regulation,
even though rufiianism had been ever 80 COM
pletely restrained, will be at once conceded.
When citizens gather to exercise the highest and
most responsible right of freemen, upon the re-
suit of which depends the welfare of the coun-
try, they should seek any other place than that
which the drunkard, the gambler, and the felon
Justly regard as their natural home-the spot Of
all others where they are ever welcome, and
where their debasement and their crimes find
stimulus and inspiration But these, sufficient as
they are were not the chief reasons alleged for tax
ing the ballot-box out of the rum-shop. Personal
insult and violence, the obstruction of the poll
by gangs of DULLES, the breaking open Of ballot
boxes, and the frequent crowdiDg in of hun
dreds of illegal votes, were the facts
which induced the Change change hailed
by all good citizens IS one OF the utmost impor-
lance and urgently demanded by every consid-
GRAFTON of justice. That ordinance IS still in faH
force on paper, but in the arrangement of the
voting. places for next week, it has been alto
gether disregarded. The Seymour and Rum
party, determined at all hazards to crush out the
last vestge of Temperance in this City, have
placed nearly half the polls in rum-holes of all
degrees-from the one. horse hotel 30 the foul
dens known as porter houses. More than fifty Of
the voting places are thus brought back, in dei-
ence oflaw, to the holes where the ele.tion Of
members of Assembly and of the Board of Excise

operation OF keeping the aged and the timid
away from the ballot-bcx will do lust as well;
and somewhere 1t may be necessary to DESTROY
particular ballot.box to prevent the election Of
Maine-Lsw man. We do not pretend to charge
that these things will be done; but the person,
who are usually most active at such places on
like occasions are just the scoundrels to be ready
for it, and little of the money raised to elect
Seymour, judiciously applied to their ever open

roctets. will set them on. There are several
Wards. We believe, where all of the polls are in
low eroggeries; where II is hoped By the con-
,rirstors that hundreds Of Temperance men,
thinking it impossible to elect Temperance Al
d.rmen and Assemblymen, viii be deferred from
attempting to vote for Clark through fear of in
suit and assault.
How far a noncompliance with the ordinance
will affect the legality OF the ballot, we cannot
say; but probably not at ell, irasmuch as the
election laws are regulated by the Legislature.
OF course there can now be no change of the
voting. places, and we write this chiefly to warn
Temperance men and Reformers Of what they
shoud be prepared for. Bat we trust that the
moral force which the presence Of good men will
exercise, even at the worst poll, will be efectual
in restraining the outrages which the Run party
are prepared to perpetrate, should the field be
abandoned to their organized gangs OF rufhan'.
Let no Temperance man, no Reformer no citizen
who has the welfare of the State at heart be de-
tered from voting by bl,ckguardsm, threats
yexstious challenger, hustling and crowdingr or
any other direct or indirect violence Whatever.
DO NOS keep away from the poll because it Is IN
place where decent men never voluntarily 60.
Tie fact that it il there Is sufficient reason for
you to make every effort to vote it out of such
den forever. full attendance Of honest voters,
with calm but firm determination to exercise
their rights at all hazards will awe into submis-
sion The Rum conspirators, and rescue the ballot
box in the future from these vile sinks of de.
bauchery and crime. Friends of Temperance

Of the Democratic demijohns, and all were full
of spirits each one standing steadily as the cir

platform. Rum, rum more rum, was the theme
of the address, the burden of the speeches, and
dubbed up through all the cheers. When they
had said their say, crowd Of them procured
blue torches, emblematic of the fire within, and
struggled up Broadway, to the st. Nicholas, where
Gov. Seymour CHANGED (of course, by accident)

warm welcome, and they departed, redssured
that their rum was not in any great danger, after
all-that is, if Seymour gets votes enough.

We cal attention to the manly statement,
which Mr.. G. II. Andrews lays before the cleo
tors of the yth Congressional District, in our
columns this morning. II is not often that we
find candidate for an important Office taking
ground so decided and honorable on the eve of an
election, when votes may be lost by it. We trust
the Independent citizens of the District will not
allow Mr.. Andreys's majority to be diminished on
account OF his refusing to bow the knee to the
Know. Nothings. At any rate, and whatever the
result, Mr.. Andrews need not regret that he has
preserved what most politicians are so ready to
throw away-his selfrespect.
