Illegal Voting.

A man by the name Of James Beatty. at
present residing in this county, was arrested
. few days since. for illegal voting at the late
election in this city, when he was not entitled
to vote. He came to this State some time IN
August, and voted, contrary 10 law, which re-
quires a residence of six mouths. He was
fined Eve dollars and costs.
Others doubtless voted illegally, and will at
tempt to do it again on Tuesday next. Il is
the duty of the Republican party TO see tina.

falsely swear in their vote. they should be i'm

indispensable to fair and honest expression
Of the will of the sovereign people-the
source Of the legitimate power in this eoun-
try. Guard the ballot box as the most sacred
Of your rights. Let no Illegal vote be given.
Swear every man who is not known to be a
legal voter; and if any just grounds exist for
the belief that the voter voted illegally, let
him be Immediately arrested. Premptness in
this respect may deter others from attempting
to violate the ballot box. The Republican
party will nos seek to secure the election Of
their candidate by illegal voting, and there

tiers. Double voting was also practiced at the
late election. This must also be prevented

CAMBRIDGK CRY, IND, Oct. "a, 1855.

EDS CoM--Your article of yesterday en-
titled Defeat Of the Fusionists in Indiana"
does great injustice to Judge Morton, our can

CRY OF MEXICO Sept 90

CITY OF MEXICO, sept 20.
Fearing that | shall not have an opportun-
ty of writing you by our regular mail line to
New Orleans this month, | send you by tho
British packet, by way Of Havana. piece of
important news.
l have it from unquestionable authority.
that at the very time this letter leaves the
Capital. the British Legation closes in Mexico.
The cause of this proceeding is the B,ron.
Forbes 4 Co.'S case. This. however, is but
a hobby; for it is well known that the British
Government has been endeavoring for long
time to settle the financial claims of its sub
jects against Mexico. quietly. IL possible
But all such attempts have been abortions.
and it only required some act on the part Of
the Mexican Government to demonstrate that
all her pleas were groundless. and that SYM
pathy had been wasted on the country. for the
British Government TO adopt coercive mea.
sures. The Baron, Forbes & Co.'S case has
furnished abundant pretext. and l cannot for
my part see in what manner Mexico is going
to escape from the difficulty. without getting
a drubbing.
The British charge here has acted under
the most positive orders from his own govern
ment in the case. and the charge which has
been trumped up that the whole thing had
been pushed on by Mr.. Bason's great talent
and monled influence, has not the least shad-
ow Of foundation Such could not be the case
the assertion of the editors and brokers in
Mexico to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The Admiral Of the feet in the Gulf is
under orders to hold himself in readiness
tor any alternative, and Admiral Bruce, ofthe
Pacific squadron is ordered on the west coas,
of Mexico.
Thus the country stands at present. For
my own part regard it as being in rather
tight quarters. They certainly will find that
they have taken the wrong pig by the ear.
and be taught with lesson taat will do
them service in their future dealings with
countries. where pledge given in good faith
is never broken, except at the sacrifice OF all
character for honor.
The balance Of the news in this capitals
little import. Everything promises well
present. but it may be regarded ike sunshin
In showery weather. The fact that three
four large States in revolution does not
seem to create the least feeling here. The Of

is subject to attacks from defeated aspirants
for public confidence. The brilliant career of
Judge Morton, in the canvass lust closed, has
subjected him to an attack that is as false

as q candidate for Governor, by reclamation,
by one Of the largest conventions Of the peo

because he had left the party with which
