The last month of this political canvass has
developed q perfect unscrupulousness on tho
part Of tho opponents Of the Administration.
Their desperation ought to make the friends os

at the last moment of the canvass. That is tho
moment when personal character is most reck-
essly assaulted. Caumnies impossible to rs
reiuted are then spread abroad. Plausible az
cusatiors, fnlsehoods which lie in perverted
truths. receptions which Turk in half uncovered

Many persons suppose that this regulation docs
not preclude their voting for President, they
not having forfeited their citizenship OF the
United States by removing from o@ State INTO
another State A sufficient answer to this
falacy is the fact that the voter does not
cast bis vote for President direct but for elect
ors, who, meeting in the electoral colleges, cast
the vote of the State We're voters allowed 10
exercise the franchise in any State they choose,
without sufficient time elapsing after their re-
moyal TO the State in which they vote, to show
that they are legal, booa-lide residents, there
would be 10 restraint upon the frauds which
might be perpctrated Mt the ballot-box. Massa-
chusetts being sure for Lincoln. for instance,
might spare few thousand voters, who nigh
temporarily remove to some doubtful State, ard
secure It's electoral vote, against the wish OF the
legal voters of that State, and 50, in minor de-
gree, of Congress and Assembly, Districts.
Hence the necessity for the regulation pfescrib-

Practically, the question remains in statu quo as
both candidates. we understand, still propose
TO run, but with this advantage gained
on the part of Mr.. Raymond, that he
has received the recommendation of the
Executive Committee as the regular candidate.
Whether all hopes Of reconciliation are at an
end, and whether Col. Hawkins and his friends
would not have been willing to accept an en-
tircly new arbitration acknowledged as impair
tial by both sides, we do not know. As the de-
cision of the Committee is unsatisfactory to Col.
Hawkins on the ground that the arbitration pro-
posed was not fair one, We trust that both
parties will sec what further private negotiation
can effect. IA the case now stands, there

GOV. sEYMoUK,s PROCLAMATION

Gov. Seymour has an intense disposition Tor
mischief. if he has not the power or the courage.
His proclamation which we print this morning
il 1t means anything is meant as signal Tor
riot and bloodshed. A proclamation from the
Governor Of this State is Of force only IN tins
State and can apply nowhere else. Whatever
he may think Of military interference with
elections in States semi-rebcllious, whether
there it is justified ornst by the presence oil open
and known Rebels, be knows perfectly well that
in the State of New-York there can be no posi-
bic danger Of ony such interference unless The
action Of his own friends" either at home or
coming from Canada, shall make il iinPeralVely
nenessary. He knows also perfectly we'll that
there is weii-gounded apprehension that men
in sympathy with the Rebels, men who. in case
his party should be defeated at the polls, mean
to stir up insurrection and extend the Rebellion
to the Northern States, are prepared TO make OF
the election an occasion of riot and blood
she'd The presence of o military force
under such creams ances, TO preserve the
public peacc-and their mere presence
may be suilcicnt-is simply measure OF
wise precaution. Every well-disposed citizen
would rejoice at it. Every man who values the
public tranquility, and wishes to see the tight OF
expressing at the polls the public viii without
intimidation. would be glad that at 4 THE "ot
terrible civil war;" when painful and ex-
citing doubts exist as to "the free and un-
trammeled exercise of the elective franchise.
that franchise was TO bo secured AMI those
doubts dispelled by the presence OF
military force sufficient TO quell ali
disturbance. Gov. Soymours thought is,
clearly enough, father to his wish.
By his proclamation he invites attack
upon the military which o wise iorcihought
may provide to suppress al attempt at insur-
rcctiOn. Ncre there no other evidence Of the
| necessity OF that precaution, his proclamation
supplies enough TO justify it. Cheating, and
forging and robbng dead soldiers Of their names
TO carry the election have been defeated; at the
polls he and his party are to be, he very well
knows, in a hopeless minority and his
next resor, is TO violence to defeat an
election which cannot be carried. The
proclamation is plain confession that
nothing but military power will defeat the pur-
poses of him and his friends and be gives them
timely notice that nothing is left them now but
to attack lat force wherever Il is found, under
preteusc tia. their presence Is an interference
with elections 1t Is well that this Copperhesd
carries rattle. Coy. Seymour and his
- friends" may themselves take warning from
the warning which be has given. They will be
looked after now whether there was any inten-
ton OF doing so before or not.

CrrECKEATR THE CHEATING.

DO not suppose the Mcclellan yote-sorgers
will operate in tho cities only. Their network
OF fraud is meant to enmesh cities, towns,
and villages alike, but remember that m
the smaller places they can be most easily
expo.ed and checked. The Un0nists in every
election district ought TO prepare instantly a
complete list Of the soldiers, living and dead,
in the army and out of 1t; a list which shall
show where every such man is st the moment
when his vote is offered. Such a list viii check
mate the cheating. The patriot soldier who
sleeps 10y the Chickahomlny cannot DO made TO
vote against the cause he died for il

home their fictitious proxies i'll vain, if the lists
IRE made complete, and il the Unionists who
stand by the polls have the knowledge which
shall enable them to challenge every offered
vote. Let the Union Committees, then, 90 in-
stantlv to work. They have an immense field to
work in. No man knows what number Of votes
had been manufactured before this gigantic
scheme was discovered. Faithful work now
may yet save Us 90, 600 or 10000 votes. Go TO

FORGED VOTES.

The Uotd is anxious 20 prove that the Demo-
cratic agents appointed by Gov. Seymour, and
Who by Their own and The Gorlds admissions,
were engaged in forging Soldiers votes, were
" not rogues, hnt fools If The HOrid will say
rogue. and fools" we shall not be disposed 70
quarrel with orr contemporary, aud men who
admit ,Aey were forging yotes--uo matter what
excuses they or their friends may make-ean
hardly object 70 the designation of rogue. Ii
The B0,M insists upon calling them fools also,
w can only say that We have not hitherto sup
posed that Coy. seymour, Poter Cagg,r aud
COMPANY were in the habit OF selecting as their
agents men who we're both roguei and fool',
however much they may have manifested q
desorintions. II The Eord wants 20 defend
Gov. Seymour agents by insnulting either
that the Governor knowingly appoints rogaes
and fools as agents, or Is not able 20 judge Is to
mems moral and mental qualifications, Il is not
for Us TO object.
In is attempt 20 prove that these men were
not only rogUes but fools, TIE Gorid quietly as
s,lnes Tint every one else Is honest. IL argues
that these fraudulent votes cannot be got into
the ballot.box. because the soldiers whose
names are forged woud also send their owa
genuine ballots and The fraud would be thus
detected. But is it not clear that any one who
would thus forge tho votes would also arrange
that they should in some way be got inio the
boxes, whether il was done in the district
where the soldier is really voter. by putting ID
in early before the genuine vote was offered, or
By having it sworn in in some other place
Men who would forge these signatures TO every
ballot would not hesitate 20 provide some one

votes could be- deposited in their names. This
is VIGOROUSLY not the case. Why, ever COM
mi,sary General Farrell, in his lst of thirty or
forty names Of soldiers il the l2Sth Regiment,
who he says are actual residents Of Columbia
County, and for whom votes were mauufac-
turel by his correspondent Donohue and his
companions, has included the names OF at least
eight dead soldiers three minors, and TWO who
are either dead or prisoners. Does not this fact

No, gentlemen Democrats, you are on the
wrong tack The evidence OF the existence of
these frauds is too overwhelming. Ii you want

Gus in your cause, have been committing gross
outrage upon the elective franchise, which yon
