A Grand Abolition "Expsctoration. .

That beautiful pink of Abolition honesty
truth and honor, JOHN D. DEFREEs, has is
sued great PronunciameztO, to the Aboli
tionists of the State, commanding and en-
treating them again to bring up to the battle
their hosts against the Democracy in Novem-
ber
He unblushingly asserts that WILLARD and
the State ticket of the Democracy were al
elected by fraudulent votes. His evidenot
of fraud is in the increased vote of the people
of the various counties of the State, and the
great gains of the popular vote by the Dem
ocracy. He forgets, or has not sense enough
to know, that large portion of the Demo-
cratic majority of 1856 is made up from those
old Wings and repentant Democrats who vo-
ted the Fusion ticket in 1854. Although the
increase of votes is general, in every county
In the State, he is so short sighted and dis
honest as to charge that it is occasioned by
votes imported from other States by the
Democrats. How silly, how pitiful, and how
false are such assertions. No man can be
found, of respectable character, who will pre-
tend to say that any frauds can be proven
against the Democrats,-whileo on the other
hand, this very JOIN D. DEGREES, Sol. MER-
EDITH and J. YARYAN, will have to labor
long and deny loudly to save themselves
from the imputation of being concerned in
importing fraudulent votes into the counties
of Marion, Rush and Morgan.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, pre-
ceding the election, DEGREES was known to
be in the towns along the National Road, in
Wayne and Henry counties, and on each OF
these days car loads of fraudulent voters were
shipped into Marion, Rush and Morgan coun-
ties, who boldly perured themselves, and
swore in their votes.
This old practice of doing a dirty job and
then turning round and charging it upon your
neighbor won't do, Mr.. DEGREES, in this
instance. On your part and on your party,
the charge can be maintained. So far as your
false clamor is raised sgaint the Democratic
party, it is utterly untrue and without foun-
dation. The increase of the vote of the State
in very excited election, is no evidence oi
fraud against any party; but is natural re-
suit only showing the great interest which
the whole people felt in the issue.
The gasconade and silly statement which
DEFREEs makes about the Republican party
having determined to contest the election o
the Governor and the entire State ticket' j:
most superbly ridiculous, absurd and disgust
ing. This is the loudest and widest s1r1el
of the season, and shows with what brazer
impudence this DEFREEs can attempt to i'm
pose upon the credulity Of the public. They
viii remember his late attacks and abuse O.
JAMES B. CLAY, Professor LARRABEE and
Gov. WILLARD, and understand how to ap
preciate his present ridiculous badinage and
assumptions, as the chairman Of the Abolition
State Central Committee The truth is, De
FREES is desperate-badly used up-smashet
to pieces-crushed out-and has not sense
enough to conceal his deep malice and evi
dent modification.
The people will try the contest to Mr.
DEGREES full satisfaction on the first Tues
day in November.
Lock out for gust of gas, the essence o
a thousand lies, in DEGREES and TON NEI.
SONS Abolition address for the canvass.
