Election Frauds.
The abolitionists Lave carried the State by
the most monstrous and outrageous frauds
that were ever perpetrated in any country
where th: people pretended to revere and
respect the aanctity of the elective franchise
and the purity of the bsllot box, aud they
openly boast that they could have carried
Centre county had they only ten days more
time ! In one sense of the words, this is
undoutedly true. Had they continued for
ten days longer concocting and perpe‘rating
such frauds asthey actually did practice in
this county, beyond doubt they would
have drowned the voice of the patriotic
and law-abiding citizens of this county as
effectally as they did the voice of the people
of the state at large, We will mention some
of these acts of frauds and outrage, reserv-
ing however for a futur article a full ven-
tillation of them:
In this Borough they had iiputed
A. C. Toner, Dr. William Irwin, Dan’l
Welsh, and uv any others who have not for
years resided in Bellefonte and voted them
here, upon their oaths that this wag their |

ship, an abolition board arbitrarily threw

It is the duty of all good citizens to

will seo the necessity of prosecuting these

I> What the abolitionists have to crow
over since the official returns are beginning
to come in, i3 more than we can imagine.
The State has gone for them to te sure but
it must be recollected, that Cartin was elec-
ted three yerrs gince by over 32,000 of a
majority, now with the five millions of
greenbacka that were sent to this State to
earry on thecampaign, the tremendous pat-
ronage of the “Government,” the courtiess
officials, who are interested 1n continuing
the Abolition reign, end all the influence
that Abram and his hosts could command,
given to them, they are but able to count
a little over fen thousand ; even here at the
home of *Shoddy Audy,”’ be is beaten 344
notwithstanding in 1860 he had 342 of
a majority and that thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars was spent during tho late
sampaign to keep it nght for him, a change

ed of 686, against hin. Docs that look

Now that the election is over, and the

scenes of the past campaign, we wish to
call their attention to the course pursued not
only ny the aboliticn oraters and press of
this county, but of the cntire State, every
one recollects with what bitter maligniry,
they assailed Judge Woodward, for his de-
cision on the Solliers vote. It was the ouly
charge that th y pretended to make against
him, the only thing out ofa rocord of thir.
ty years that they could scrape up to pre-
judice voters against him and let us see by
their own deings how false that statement
Was,
It was well known. for weeks before the
election, that there would be numbers o
soldiers sent home 10 this county to vote
for Curtin, to operate on them aud their
friends and relatives at home was the ob-
ject of these bare fuced falsifiers, and for
{ this was the lie gotten up, that Judge
| Woodward by his decision had deprived
the soldiers of the right of voting. The el-
{ ection Cay came round and with it came the
wen from the army, in order that none
of them would be prevented from voting.—

tes lo STIR Lamm
tains the following ;
The Mexican deputation, which will for-
| mally ofter Archduke Ferdinand Max the
| imperial crown voted by the Assembly of
| Notables, is expected to arrive here in a few
id ys. lt is asserted that the Archduke is
| greatly disposed to accept the offer, but it
| is a mistake to suppose he will embrace it
unconditionatly. He is firmly determined
only to ascend the throne provided the pow-
ers interesied in upholding the balance of
power by the erection f a monarchy in
Mexico, the dis~ola ion of the North Ameri-
| can Republic, and the pravention of the sub.
Jjugation of Kurope by America, will fulfilt
such conditions as shall a ord the Mexican
throne warrants of permanency. These con-
citions aie :
1. Guarantee of the throne by the three
powers who originally undertook the
Mexican expedition (England. France,
and >pain,) that 1s to say, that they shall
undertake to support the monarchy Ly
arws, in the case of danger from within or
without,
2. that all Vexican municipalities shall
aeclare themselves, by free vore,satistied with
thelestablishment of a monarchy and the
choice of an Austin prince. Uron these
con ‘itions. and, as we are posiuvely assar-
{ ed, upon these conditions lv.
| Ferdinand Maximihan will sct out {or Mex-
ico.
We believe, however that the firstof these
stipnlatio w suffi s to render the Archdake's
acceplance nupossible. rafce. may, per
haps, promise the required guarantee, Eog-
land never will, and Spain has already de-
clared that she will not commit herself to
more than a moral guarantee of the Mexi-
can throne. As rogarde the second con-
dition, its fullilisent presupposes the occu-
pation of the entire conntry by the French,
for without such occupation it would be imn-
practicable to obtam the votes of all mani-
cipahities. Up to the present time the
French have scarcely occupied three out of
the cightecn States of which Mexico consists
and even for this purpose their force is in-
sufficient. The whole French army would
have to be sent acrosy the ocean fully wn
occupy a country that is four times the size
of France. With the best wil in the world
the French will be unable under these cir-
cumstances to furnish the votes of the mun-
icipalities. Even were France inclined to

| from the records of the States and Territo-

the realand personal estate as assessed for

! officers to add the : roper amount to the as-

sent as well the true or intrinsic value, as
the inadequate was generally attached to
property for taxable purposes. According
to the calculations thus made, the entire
value of ali the individual property in all
Sta es an: Territories was a little over $16,-
000,000.000 er a little more than five times
the estimated amount of our present debt.
The total value of the proper'y in the slave
states, including all of Virginia, was, in
round nambers. four thousand and seven
