TILE ONE DAY ELECTION LAW The Express is characteri st ically saucy because we hay e stopped its cry that the Democrats art , about to perpe trate election frauds, by asking why the Whi :a did not pass a law to prevent such heeds, when they had it in their power. It suys of the rejection by the whig Senate of the one day election bill, "If it (the Evening Post) knows any thing of the law rejeatul, (which by the way originated' svith Dr. Duncan, of Ohio.) it knows the fact that it encounter ed the severest opposition it received ft um members of its own party. It was opposed North and South. and voted against North awl South, by members of all par ties, fur the reason that it was neither, a plain, pructi cal or efficient method for potting au end to the system of colonising votes." This is a pretty story, when it is known the world over, that it was carried through the House of Repre sentatives, a large majority of which were Democrats, and defeated in the Senate, a majority of which were whip. No doubt there was some among. the Demo crats vi Ito, while appra% ing the general features of the bill, objected to some detail; but the question is by wkose-vnterwas rhe4siJl f ssesesi, and by whose was it let - rated? Thi is a mutter of record, and tho floun dering of the Express is of no consequence. But, continue. , that journal, "The whip desire of all men to preserve the ballot box from every species of fraud. Their hopes, their strength, their certain victory lies here. Man to men —vote to vote, with the law on their outside, t hey are sure of abundant success." How long is it since the whigs became so remarka bly virtuous? If our memory does not fail us, thefe was once a party of "Pipe-Invert" in this city. which answered very closely to the description of the whip party. Perhaps the gros3est fraud upon the ballot boa that was ever committed in this cminuy, was commit ted by the leaders of the whig party in this city. Men were hired by the hundreds to come from neighboring cities or towns to vote during an important election,— ta "lay pipe" it was called; so that in the minds of hon orable men of all parties, who took the pains to read the mass of evidence bearing on the fact, the leaders in the outrage have raised themselves to an infamous notoriety. And this atrocious crime was not attempted once, but oftener. and would have continued to this day, we suppose, but fur the defection of one of the princi pal instruments. Great purity this! • . COLD WATER CURE The discovery in Germany of the wonderful sanitary properties of cold seater, is making a deep impression upon the higher and middle classes here. The die ters are not able to laugh it down. After spending fortunes on physicians in vain, invalids,go to Grafen burg and are healed. A child with the scarlet fever is wrapped in a wet sheet and gets well. Men rum nage-their libraries and find that just such cures have been performed at Malvern a hundred jeans ago, mad the water when analyzed is the purest possible. And they find casesin which patients with raging fever and delirium have broken loose. from their nurses and jumped into the Thames or some borsepund, and their matinees has proved better than tlip wisdom of the doctors. Many are coming to the conclusion that di.- ease is chiefly some mysterious modification of that great pcison, diet, with which we are sent into this world to battle, and this redounds greatly to the ari -1 vantage of pure sealer. Setting poisons to catch poi sans is growing into disrepute with these people, and consequently they may by and by expected to see the absurdity of sending one dram of alcohol into the stomach to cure the disease made by its predecessor. The multitude of experiments which have,now put the matter fairly to the test, seems to demonstrate that coldness combined with pure water, is the best means that has ever been tried to quench the human inflam mation, and when properly applied will cure any pa tient irk° has strength to be cured in ally way. _This being true, the occupation—l do not say of the doctors, for it will tequire science and wisdom to apply cold water—but of the drujgists—of alit .to poison manufecturers, is gone. - And shall not alcohol be in cludoil .. From the hold: this—subject has taken of the most intelligent here, I look to see a great pathologi- rani reform which I think cannot fail to set the princi ple often' abstinence upon a more commanding foun dation duns it has hitherto occupied.

This fact is incontrovertible. Then why make an odious distinction against foreigners in this particular easel If you permit them to purchase in every ether form, why deny to them the privilege of purchasing are pre-I ernptioners, The alien who flies from oppression at, home, and makes his way into the Far West, and! thews fixes his habitation, at the same time places hisl body as a banier against the attacks of the savage foe , which your policy has collected on that frontier.--‘' Such aliens thus furnish stronger evidence of their fi-' dclity to the country, a d of their intention to become citizens. than they could do by a mere decimation to this effect under the naturalization laws, though, he pc. stinted, such a declaration was made by them in al -1 most every instance.

As it is necessary to be particular in one's quotations and references in these days when, not the schoolmaster, but Ruorback is a broad, we beg leave to m •ntinn that It is not the Lan do* Times of "several months ago," nor of "some lime since," like that which stated that "four hundred and forty thou and pounds" of " British Gold," had been sent over to aid the Democratic parry to obtain possession of the Government for the purpose of over throwing Britith.asoendancy in Team, and expelling the Hudson Bay Company from Oregon; it is not that copy of the L 0111404 Times, but the Noweonformisl, of Sept. 9th, 1844, page 632, received by the last steamer 9 The expected President of the United States, Mr Clay, is 67 years of age—has, it is sold, fought f ive dote/r—aad is 'nowt under bonds to keep the peace." This one little paragraph contains two great takes--or as they wonid be called in the present vo catralary of the Whig papers, whenever they wish to contradict a statement, ••lies," - "forgeries," dastardly falsehoods," "base rneanness,""atrocious libels." In the first place, wo arc not aware of the existence of any persons out of the . Bloomingdale Lunatic Asy. Itim, who really regard Mr. Clay us "the expected Pres! :ens of the United. States." And in the second place. Mr Clay has not "fought five duels;" be has only fought two. We deny the oth er three—point blank, as is sometimes said of the range of pistol shooting. We suppose the English editor had in mind the oth er three cases in which Mr Clay has made duelling demonstrations--one, when be was so deep in the counsels of the Cilley affair, nod besides writing the challenge, abstained from giving information to the police, until after the parties had gone cur t in an an known direction, so as to make interruption too late; the other, when he virtually challenged, by a curd in the newspnpers, any member of Congress who should charge the bargain of the famous coalition;—and the third, when, about three years ago, he announced to Mr King ori the floor of the Senate his design to in sult him, which occasion led to the putting the par ties under bonds, as alidded to in the English -para graph. These things mAy have indoed involved all I the moral culpability of so many duels actually fought; ' but as the 2'ribrine is so remarkable of late for the accuracy of its "facts," we put it to our courteous contemporary, if the English paper is strictly and properly correct in its "five duels." We contend there are only two. How .nsny more the future may possibly brine with it—since Mr Clay. though "67 years of age," has refused to declare positively, either un religious principle or moral resolve, against the practice—we do not of course undertake to vouch.
