The Cry of Fraud.
Wore a person in sonic distant land, un
acquainted with the conduct of the RepiN
publican Know-Nothing party of Penns:viva
nia during the lete contest, at read the pa
pers emanating from their numerous presses,
he would no doubt form quite a favorable
impression of their political ethics, and con
clude, that the pretensions put forth by that
party, to rill the honesty And decency/And
some foundation in truth. The same individ
ual would also infer from the tone of their
papers, and, (*ruin the repeated charges of
fraud and nirsrepregentotlon preferred by
these fellows against the friends of (len.
Packer, that the Demorratic party of Penn
sylvania was composed ;if unprincipled
round, etc men devoid of inured honesty
and integrity,-vrho peostitote their
conscience at the shrine of party politics in
a vronl, that the friends of Gen. Packer
were the rabble of creation, fit for nothingr
but " treason. strolnerin and •purls " `Phis
e have no doubt would be the rone'usion,
at which such a person would arrive.
But the people of Pennsylvania have ob
served the conduct Of the Republicans ;Wr
ing the recent spulitical campaign, and who
have stood amazed at the perfidy of a net
of men, who pmfess to be the exclusive mo
nopolists aall that is good and virtunus.
will form (mite a diflerent conclusion They
will discover, upon a close examination that
Black Republican Know-Nothingism it not
no pure and unsoplo , sttrated as it might be,
and that RAMC of its advocates are not just
no honest as they would wish theta to be-
hove they are.
To see a net of met), destitute of every
thing like political honesty ' who have re
lied upon low, paltry tncks and underhand
ed work, to elect their candidates, suddenly
transform themselves into beings- spotless
as angels, and cheats-the Democratic party
with having committed acts of fraud and
villany, which it is notorious they them
selves committed, can only be equalled in
the extent of its hypocrisy by the sooty oc
cupant of the realms of Pluto appearing a
mong men, as the ulvocate of godliness
and the sworn enemy of sin and unriglit-

of her fate. TRLTJI is inscribed upon. her
glorious banner, and underneath, " Mly !hat

by the leaders of their own party, when et

What the Election hiu. Decided.
Upon reflecting on the result of the late
election, the query, whot has been derided
by it r presented itself to our min le as, woe.
thy of an answer at this time. We will give
that answer according to the hest of odd
judgment and belief, in a, few worth as pos
sible.
lat. It has been decided that Gen. park
er in the clime of a majority of the people
of Pennsylvania for Governor, and that,
that majority were unwilling that Dav 74
Wilmot should rule over them The gmund,
of this decision we take to he, that Gen
Packer is the best qualified of the two, that
his political principles fetter accord with
those of the majority, and that he is in eve•
ry respect, a more suitsble mentor thecae,
•2nd. It has been decided that Repaid'. I
C 1.13181111 find Know-Nothingism shall no Lon
ger rule in Pennsylvania, that a party hayed
upon the principles of proscription and per
secution, more lytanical and illiberal than
those 'Which begot the corporation and test
*eta of England, and on a par with those
Which upheld the Spanish inqujsittun,cannot
be tolerated in Pennsylvania.
3r _lt has been de,hded that the doctrinthi
or Abiiiitionisio are detestable, that they are
dingclicus to the Union of these States, a vio
lation of our duties to our Southren breth
ran, mad calculated better to retard than ad
vance the abolition of Slavery.
.4th. It hail been decided tilea6 the ad, in
isidation of James Buchanan is thus fir sat
isfactory
sth. It has been decided that the sale of
the Main Lino of the Public Improvements
at enetbalf their value, was an imposition
on the part of the present Executive, and
that the charge, that the Democratic party
wail kept in power through the influence of
the public works is decided to be false.

people r are sagacious enough ]to know that
something is wtorig.
These are some of the decisions which we '
think have been decided at the late--eloo
thin. We infer them from the coarse of the
canvass and the result. Our opponents can=
'met reasonably 'deny that a decision has
*an clearlii Made upon the abdie issntht.
