NEW YORK FRAUDS.

OF the frauds practiced by the agents
appointed by Governor Seymour, OF
New York, for receiving the soldiers
votes in the Army of the Potomac. -
Further developments show that the
most scandalous and wholesale scheme
was concocted and carried out TO
cheat the soldiers out of voting foI
the man they preferred. Many oi
the soldiers voted the Democratic
State ticket and the Union Presiden.
Itial ticket. The latter were taken
out and Mcclellan tickets substituted
Blanks were made out and the names
of soldiers WHO had been dead for
months were inserted, voting, OF
course, for Mcclellan, and every
fraudulent means were used to carry
the army for the hero of the gun
boat. Gov. Seymour's agents have
been arrested, and two of them being
found guilty, have been sentenced to
Imprisonment tor life. Another, who
is on Seymour's staff, is awaiting his
trial, and will undoubtedly receive
the same sentence.
These attempts to defraud the sol.
diers out of their votes were done 10y
Democrats; men who have been loud
in denunciation of frauds; who de.
clared that the soldiers have not been
allowed to vote as they wished, but
were forced to vote the Union ticket;
who have declared that the army was
unanimous for Mcclellan These
men have cried loudly against the
means which the Government has ia
ken to protect the Union men at the
polls and to keep avowed rebels from
voting in the border States; de.
.nounced everything that looked to-
wards the purity of the ballot-boX -
Now, what do we see? These very
men are doing what they accused the
opposite party of doing. Yes, worse;
n thousand times worse-changing
the votes of the soldiers from a I'm
ion man toa man in the direct inter
est of the South; using the names OF
deceased heroes who have fallen in
their country's cause, to promote the
election OF man, who, if elected,
will assist their enemies. Villainous,
damnable, hypocrites The scheme
is worthy alone the devils in hell =
Words cannot be found strong enough
to express the wickedness of such an
act.
Will the people sustain, vote with,
act with or in any manner countenance
a party guilty of such acts? How low
indeed has a party got that will en-
ploy such means.
Union men of Hancock, be on your
guard. Never was there a time when
vigilance was so much needed. Moth.
ing will be lett untried to carry the
election. In the New York frnuds
you have specimen. Some fraud
will be tried here. Are you prepared
for it? The Copperheads are dcsper
ate; they will do anything from bal
lot-box stulfing to swindling the sol
diers ont of their votes. Allow no
frauds to be committed. BE watchful,
diligent and prudent and thwart their
schemes, and all will be well.

The Secretary Of the Treasury has
been told that he must "buy money
at the highest rate necessary to
command it," that he should sell his
obligations "for what they would
bring" so as to lead the market /;
but the Secretary would do no such
thing. If Shylock bought bonds at
80 in August he would demand a
concession of another ten per cent,
in September and twenty in October,
until he would finally offer to lend
only the interest and keep the prin-
cipal. If Government securities are
worth anything, they are richly worth
all their face calls for in gold, and
the country is not so poor in spirit
or in purse as to submit to any auch
sacrifice as Shylock Demands
There is but a limited supply Of
money seeking investment at any
time, and the Government Offers to
pay literally for its use. At the
rate of seven and three tenths per
cent. per annum, to say nothing of
the collateral advantages, it is the
strongest borrower in the market,
and every feeling of interest, as
well as patriotism and duty, should
induce our readers to invest in its
loans.-M Y. Examiner.
