WASHINGTON, Nov. Sd, 1863.

Lovely weather do We now enjoy, may
prove an auxiliary to the right causein tn
, political contests going on to-day and to
morrow in the States of New York, Mary
, land and elsewhere. For days past ou
, railroad ticket officers have been overwork
ed with supplying tickets to furloughed sol
diers and convalescents from the hospitals
sent to the State of New York to vote tn
Abolition ticket. An indecency so gross a
this, so utterly destructive of every safe
guard of our popular liberty, would have
been uncomfortable not longer than three
years ago, but now We have grown 81
familiar with the lawless innovations of the
party in power, that what was in our day
of comparative innocence hated aud abhor-
red, we now, with downward impulse,
First endure, then pity, then embrace.
1t will be fair to suppose that the same
shameless outrages upon the principles and
practice of fair elections which have hereto
fore characterized the course of the ruling
faction in Kentucky, in Maryland, in Ohio
and in Pennsylvania, will b. attempt! to-
day in New York, yet it is to be hoped with
less chances of success. That | utter moth
ing rash or unfounded on thus characteriz
Ing the course of the Abolitionist oppress
ors of our people is plainly enough visible
on the face of the returns of the Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio elections What honest
mind cannot see at a glance that In both
those States the wickedest frauds were
J1ommitted. We are told that Brough poll
ed 247 ZIG votes which is 6l, 1852 more than
Vallandigham, aud 62,954 more than the
heaviest vote thrown by the Democratic
majority which last year swept the State.
Does not this cry trumpet tongued against
abolition fraud and villainy?-when during
time of profound peace did Ohio swell her
vote nearly $4,000 in single year? And if
this never was done in peace, how could it
be in war, when so many of her sons have
been stricken down by the sword and dis
ease? SO in Pennsylvania. 1t is pretended
that Curtin polled, the other day, 269,496
votes against 254 I'll for Woodward, giving
an aggregate vote of 1867, exceeding the
total vote of 1861 by 81 ,0Ol, although Penn
sylvania has in the mean time sent l64, ,251
three years men to the field. The conclu
sion is irresistible that in fact and truth,
both Vallandighan and Woodward have
been traudulently cheated of their election.
For myself, cannot doubt that both were
lawfully elected.
Mr.. Chase and his allies are busy at
work in trying to comc,end their revolu-
tionary financial schemes to the public ap-
proval Well, if the public do approve OF
them it will make but very little difference.
If Mr.. Chase were to set up new princi-
pie in opposition to the law of gravitation,
he would get very little help to his cause
from the fact that he had first succeeded in
bullying and bribng large number-or
the whole, for that matter-of the people to
his views. 1t does not depend on popular
vote whether infractions OF the laws Of ma
ture shall succeed or no, and the laws OF
finance are lust as rigid and immutable as
the laws OF gravitation. Mr. Chase can't
eat his apple and keep it too tie cannot
crafty his partizan and sectional malice IN
desolation, determination and destruction,
and vet have solid basis for promises to
pay IF he wants bottom for his currency
policy let him study how to preserve, cher
ish, and protect in word let his policy be
conservative; and then he may at some day
or other be adle to do something at re-
deeming the ocean floods of paper he Is
pouring out over the land. But he
can't shut up the Mississippi from
profitable trade; he can't ruin the farmers
and planters of the Border States by plum
dering them of their laborng force; he cant
overthrow the whole labor system OF the
South and yet suppose that the laws OF IL
nance will bend to accommodate his wish,
and give him a representative currency
which represents nothing, or next TO 1t! -
There was one Law, who had the powerful
French Monarchy, King, Cabinet, people
and all on his side; yet what monstrous
bubble did his scheme prove to be, and Mr..
Chase's is scarcely different from that
The topic just now most interesting here
is the Maryland election OF morrow
Although Thomas Swami, who, to distract
what there is left in the country OF sincere
devotion to the Republic as it was constltu-
ted by the men of '76 and 'S3, has obtaine
ed from President Lincoln pledge that no
undue interference shall be made by his
soldiery at the polls, nobody has the small
est confidence that this pledge Will be bet
ter kept than the generality OF pledges that
have preceded it. On the contrary, the
orders of Schenck and his suppression OF
document about to be issued by Governor
Bradford to the effect that the election
should be free and in accordance with the
laws and the peoples rights, prove that the
Federal authority has already assumed the
revolutionary and criminal position OF put
ting down the States. Gov. Bradford vii
find, nay, he has already found that he ha:
been but wearing in his bosom asnake tina
will bite him, and go far to destroy the lib
critics Of his State and country from the fac'
Of the earth.
Amongst the on dts which have rsli
able aspect is one that the Postmaster o
the village of Rockville has been removes
from Office because he was found frien
to the election of Mr.. Charles B. Calver
,. the worthy, natriotic, and deserving Uniol
candidate Tor Congress in the 5th Congress
ional District. 1t is said that no scrupl
