genius in Indiana has undertaken to show
that the late elections in that State were carried
by fraud. BY comparing the votes ut previous
elections. he makes out that there were about
eighteen thousand more votes pollei than there
were in the State There might have been some
logic in that if full vote was given at the previ-
elections. But the writer does not pretend
to settle that point. Ii would be easy to show
frauds in all the States at every exciting election
when iull vote comes out, although. bv taking
the register. il might be shown that all the votes
were not polled. But if there were fraudulent
votes, how is il shown who got them! Well. this
writer goes into detail citing the cases of numer-
Gus counties from which large numbers of volun.
teers are gone. AMI yet the Democratic vote has
increased. AMI the Republican vote has decreased
OF c0urse all the world knows that must have
been the case otherwise the Republicans would
have carried the State. That is Just what the
Democrats expected would happen before the
election. They expected to beat the Republi
cans; for they expected their vote in the counties
generally would increase. and that of their oppo-
nents would decrease That i the way party
beaten one year carries 1t the next. IL is pre-
cisey what would happen ii large number of
change their votes from one side To the other
Ifthis writer had taken a complete register of
the votes carefully made out in one county, and
then showed a much larger vote, it would have
been tolerable proof that there was fraud some
where; but then the question would remain did
the successful or defeated party poll these fraudu
lent votesG
IL i a little marvellous that if frauds were com
mitted IA 80 many counties they were not detected
somewhere. In past elections the Democrats
have proved frauds upon their opponents in ludi
ana. not by vague speculaiions but BY testimony
10 the point
Now. IL is = little too much to tell Of frauds
all over the State everywhere. and that Judges
and Sheriffs in the various precincts discovered
them nowhere
The whole story is marvellous, and the defeated
party only damages itself by the prepoSterous
warn. Such extensive frauds are not only i'm
probable. but Impossible In large cities conside
rable frauds NAV be committed. but in rural dis
tricts. where the mass OF voters in Indiana live
this story of fraud IS absurd Besides, if such
frauds were possible. the Republicans the

We are told by telegraph that part of our

Its now definitely settled. by authority of the
Republican Central COMMITTEE for Indiana. that
seventy three Democrats voted the Abolition
ticket at the recent election. These were. how
ever the most able and influential men in our
ranks. for shabby Democrat il always great
man when he joins the Abolitionists! Even Gov
ernor MoRroS-though a Democrat till he fell in
love with the Know Notbings-was only reason
ably great man in our ranks; but when he joined
SAN aud cursed the Dutch and Irish, he be-
came hugely magnificent in the eyes OF the in
tolerant faction which so recently bessrode this
land.
Now that Governor WRIeHr caught seventy
two Democrats. by the aid of Governor MORTON
aud his valuable commissioners. can't the Chair
man OF the Republican Central Committee tell
US how many conscientious Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket at the October election? If he
will figure that up, he will be able to account for
the defeat of his party without racking his brains
about imaginary frauds.

2 The House. being 50 filed. is to declare
that "alI the rebel States are duly represeuted"
therein; that. consequently, President Liucoln's
proclamation of freedom u null and void, and
slavery fully under the protection OF the COnsti

T. A convention Of the States is 10 be called.
wherein the united conservative. Democratic and
rebel strength will. il is supposed, be sufficient to
reconstruct the Constitution To suit the slave
holding and slavebreeding interests"
These Overtures. according 10 Greeley. have
been sent down from the Democratic leaders of
this city 20 Richmond True, as il appears. these
terms of peace have not been accepted by the
rebels; but as the door of negotiations has not
been absolutely closed, "a second embassy from
our conservatives is now at Richmond, or is ell
on its way thither," and Eve may expect TO hear
from IL within a few DAYS" We are ignorant OF
the new terms of peace which this new embassy
will propose, but we should not be surprised il
they were shortly to be proclaimed through the
Tribune to be

SAWS the View Ork Evening IOSt:
Mr. L. A. Hendricks. of Indiana. who aspires
to succeed Jesse ID. Bright in the Senate of the
United States, is Sece,sionist of the first water
In speech made by him last year he said:
1.-THE first and highest interest of the North
west is ia the restoration and preservation of the
Union upon the basis of the Constitution and
the deep devotion of her Democracy 10 the cause
of the Union is shown by its fidelity in the past !;
but if the failure and folly and wick edness of the
party in power render Union impossible then
the mighty Northwest must take care Of herself
and her own interests She must not allow the
arts and ineuess of New England to deSpoil her
of her richest commerce and trade. and 10 render
her labor wholly subservient to Eastern sec
tional and selfish p0lcy-Eastern lust of power
commerce and gain
We do not precisely see how this makes Mr.
Hendricks secessionist of the first water or any
other water 1t is difficult for one to express at
tachment To the Union more strongly than he
presses it in this extract Beyond that. ii the
failure and folly and wickedness of the party in
power shall render Union impossible he simply
proposes that the Northwest shall take care of
her own interests. In other words, ii New Eng
land fanaticism shall succeed in permanently di
viding the Union, he proposes that the Northwest
shall not settle down into playing the part of tail
to the New England kite
If that be treason Abotionsm will have to

up. New England sectional interests, which have
had such extraordinary protection in the Union.
would be left out in the cold in future combina-
tons.
