Radical newspapers have had mach to say since titer late cleetion about 'imaginary frauds perpctrateday the Democracy, especially in New York. Did they possess but a modicum or truth, or respectability, they would be extremely cautious in broaching a subject of rascality which to their plAy has been a source of prosperity and poitit.,r for seven years past. Tho leaders Or their organization have graduated in election frauds, and established and endowed wad: 'the public funds a distinct school or rascality. The organs in question cry out about frauds without facts or proof, of course, in every •instance wherever the Democracy happen to seenro a majority on the popular vote, forgetting the while -how their lead. era manipulated the ballot-box to suit themselves throughout the war. They Bean to have no 'remembrance Of the manner in which the army vote was invariably forced, bribed and in fluenced, and how the returns were tampered with during' their trans tnisitin home. They know nothing, 6f7ourse, about the infamous ttic of the bayonet to ho'd Maryland and Kentucky in the coils of Abolition ,despotism, while the war was pr•o. eressing.
