Medi Gazelle. * sixcuii.vu yoiraTicAt, discovery*. ; TbfiLycomhiff Gazette has made a discovery which is worthy of n longer account than wo can give of it. Wo lake the following statement of tho facts from the Gazette! Most of bur readers will recollect, that In conse quence of‘the tremendous storm, and tho activity of the Whig party, nt the lust general' election, the Democracy wore every where taken by surprise, and sliQjnclully beaten, In some instances, even .in their owp strong holds. In tins Representative district, less than Inilf the usual number of voles were pel led—lho Wfiigs turned out with astonishing regain* lloii,'nnd the Democrats remained nt homo, Uhder such circumstances' it was not considered very sin- 1 gular, that the Democratic nominees for. Assembly, should bo closely pressed hy tliolr Whig competitors —rtho liighcst'onndidnte Judgo lvce,-having but 09 Votes of a majority over his highest opponent; B. F. Pauling, nnd Gun. Pucker, being defeated by u imi-. jorily-of 12. Wo say finder tho extraordinary dlr cuhislunccs.ihis result did riot astonish any one, but Ihcro was a circumstances connected with tho clcctlon ln Clinton county, which did appear strange. It was tho fict that Porter township wasroturnod as having given Judge Ives 70 votes, and Win. F. Pac ker 49 I In this county, the matter was- beyond so lution, and was finally suffered to rest a scaled mys tory. The return Judges from tho-district mot nnd aWardcd.lho certificate of election to B. F. Pauling l Fun., mid in pursnanoo thercni; that gentleman took his scat in legislature nnd held it without opposition or inquiry tho entire session. . But strange ps it may scorn, it is no more strange than trii, that a majority of the voles polled in tho district wore oust for Gen W. F. Pucker. The fact has recently been elicited, that in Parlor township Clinton county, the actual vote given for Assembly, instead of being as reported by the return Judges, for Wn»i F. Packer 49, was actually and m truth GO—2o more than tho number counted fur him.— This mistake—if such it is, and the PrcsldciUoflho Board of return' Judges, is responsible for it—soda- # ccd tlio vole of Mr. Packer, from nn actual jriajoKiy of EIGHT over his competitor,' Mr. Pauling, to nn apparent minority of TWELVE! The uilyppppn, und.lho'gnribrnl return for Porter township, agree u making 'Mr.'Packers vole 09, rtnd 'lndeed thorn is. nolhlng conillctlng In the whole business, except it 1 bo that'tlio'loosq statement usually-sent with tho re* ’ turn Judges; ns a tnomorandum lor their direction, i after reading in words at length, “ For Assembly, i AVililum F.
