Tbe Xew York. Election How It
was Carried.
Wc learn by the New York papers that
over 30,000 of Gen. Mead's army were
t'lirlnnrrlicd into New York to vote the
Abolition ticket. In some places they
voted them in squads, in military order
under military direction. The Democratic
vote was not diminished, but was over
powered by a large number of illegal votes.
This violation of the sacredness of the
ballot box, by the usurped authority of
the Federal Executive, is an unmistaka
ble symptom of the despotism which will
soon follow, if the people do not disen
thral themselves in time.
We, of course are not in possession of
any correct returns from that State, and
ire, therefore, unable to estimate the ma
jority ; but it matters not whether it be
great or small, as the same frauds which
were used to carry the election could, just
as easily, make the figures foot up to any
indefinite number. Thus New York,
which, one year ago, boasted of her free
dom, with Seymour as her champiop, is
now overpowered and humbled by the
menacing power of the Federal Adminis -
tration, whih has not only outraged the
sovereignty of the Empire State, but has
reduced her brave volunteers from the
dignity of soldiers to the level of serfs
for the soldier who refuses to do the bid
ding of the Administration, is made to
undergo all manner of persecution. Thi
picture of New York is a sad one ; but it
is no more than we expected : for taking
encouragement from the result of their
crimes in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa,
it is not to be wondered at that they shoulc
thus bring the same influences to bear
against the mr pnpuli of New York
The Abolitionists have now, with the
exception of a few in New Jersey, gained
nearly all the important otlices by which
favor and patronage can le distribute
among the ringleaders of their own party.
They will have a majority in nearly nl
the State Legislatures, by which they can
control and carry out their plans against
the legitimate rights of sovereign States,
and the primary b:isis of our Federa
Government. It will remain to be seen
to what extent the madness of this Ad
ministration will run. Being thus steepe

from a private letter written by General

they made so loosely against him to justi
fy his removal from tho command of the
Array 'of the Cumberland. He writes:
" As to my removrl from the command
of the Army of the Cumberland, 1 have
only tQ say that I pray God that the
country may be as well and better served
by another. As lor the infamous lies
which are put forth through the press to
blast my reputation, such as disabling
mental disease, the use of opium, disobe
dience of orders in not advancing when
ordered, in waiting for reinforcements,
etc., etc, if I thought they came from our
government I would despair of a nation
headed by such a government That the
people will accept them, or that God will
prosper their .authors, I do not believe.
Personally J commend myself to the ; just
and merciful One,, who- knows what is the
best for me."; ' . ,r . ,
, -; That Generals Grant or Thomas may
prove .better commanders than General
Kosecrans may prove true, and if so, the
administration will be justified in making
the change ; but it is monstrous that these
