Voters from Indiana, H,
Whenever the opposition party to the De
mocracV contemplate the practice OF some
kind OF fraud at elections, they commence id
advance charging Democrats with similar
schemes. They do this to divert attention
from their own intended rascality; 1t is the
trick of the thief joining in the cry Of stop
thief" to draw attention from himself. Ia
1856, while the Republicans were maturing
their plans for coonizing voters in close
countess such as Rush, Morgan, &C., from
this and other strong Republican counties,
for the purpose of electing a majority Of the
! Legislature, they were vigorously engaged In
charging Democrats with fraudulent designs
of this kind. By an investigation, after the
election, before committee OF the Legisla-
ture, the colonization of voters in several
counties was clearly proved against the Re-
publican leaders, and the names or many Of
those engaged 10 such frauds exposed. These
are matters of record and history

clifton papers of this State. This writer
pretends 10 have discovered d most nefarious

very elaborate in its exposition; but the sub.
stance is about as follows. He says there Is

the plan is to TRANSFER 10 Ohio twenty-five
thousand voters. scattering them at different
points, who will vote the Democratic ticket.
He details mnutely the manner in which
this colonization scheme is to be carried out
and winds up with this exhortation. Let
the friends of the Union every. where take
warning. and prepare! Prepare nowi Lee

We take it that all this means to suggest
to the par;izans of the Administration, the
"Union Leauges," the Government contrac-
tors, &C., of this State, the game they are
expected to play in the Ohio election. They
are prepared to carry out such sehernes thro'
the agency Of their secret societies and par.
tisan military organizations. That the lead.
ers OF their party are INSCRIPTIONS and cor
rnpt enough to engage in such rascality have
been demonstrated by the experience Of the
past. They charge the Democrats with
fraudulent designs to cover up their own cor
rupt Intentions.
The Democrats Of Ohio, therefore, should
take warning in time, if they desire and ia
tend to have free and fair expression ofthe
people oftheir State at the ballot box. They
should watch and vigilantly guard the polls
on the day Of election and see thst illegal
voters are not permitted to interfere with
the election. Look out for raids upon the
ballot-box from this side OF the : ate line and
be prepared for them. ,'''a3l .Et
