Another False Charge.

A contemporary, who as the readers of the
in the habit of elevating into notice even by
kick, in commenting on paragraph of ours,
says:
"Over eighteen hundred persons were de-
tered from voting in Louisville by direct acts
of intimidation, or by reason of their dwell
ings being set on fire and danger to their
wives and children at home, W HON they were
obliged to protect from the assaults of the
brutal mob and fpossible provide with places
OF security. There was little TO induce man
to 60 to the polls and offer to record his vote
when his dwelling was burning over his head,
and mob Of deUiLS in the street painting to
shoot or butcher himself, his wife and infant
babes as soon as he emerged from the fiery
element.
When the dwellings of the infatuated
Irish were burning, the polls psre CLOSED
The very commencement Of this riot occur
red late in the afternoon, about the time Of
the closing of the polls, and if any man in
the city had not voted, ample opportunity
was offered for his doing SO, and with entire
safety. The riot occurred entirely away
from the polls, just as the riot in the first
ward had done. 1t was not occasioned by
anything which occurred at the polls, but it
was the legitimate result of peaceable Amer
leans being shot down in Geld blood by Irish
men. We have no doubt numbers of foreign
ers were kept away from the polls, by having
been repeatedly told by ant-American
fIat h
vent them voting, and that every foreign
born citizen would have to vote at the risk of
his life, &c.. &c. And we have just as little
doubt that the afternoon riot in the upper
part of the city kept away hundreds who
would have voted the American ticket. We
again repeat our remark, which this cotempo-
rary has chosen to pronounce false without
bringing a single fact to sustain his position
that all could vote who chose to do so al
the Louisville electon-and that there was
ten times the fighting at the Cincinnati polls
at the last city election, to what there was
at the Louisville polls. We saw foreign born
citizens voting at four polls at Louisville, at
the very hour the Courier issued an extra
stating that the polls were in the possession
of the Know Nothings, who would not allow
a foreigner to vote And as Col. Preston,
the anti-American candidate for Congress,
was at one of the polls when we were there,
he had an opportunity of seeing the same
thing, and doubtless did see it. We say too,
that if the riots had not occurred, which took
place IS we have stated at distant places from
the polls, the election at Louisville would
have been pronounced one of the most quiet
and peaceabe which ever was held in that
city-thus Vouching for clear and quiet polls.
Even our contemporary admits that things sosr
quiet at the polls when he says" The quiet
ude at tEe Uotieag places was the result Of
keeping the foreigners holly engaged in 9TH
err parts of the CITY,"
We have nothing to do with the cause of
the Cincinnati riots. We mercy state the
indisputable feet, that there was ten times
the fighting at the polls of that city there
was at The Louisville polls.
