STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER. BY ROBERT WHITE MIDDLETON. GETTIMIIVROI2I. PENN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1838 I:Ito - FLOUR in Baltimore, $7 75. Franklin County Concerns. gi-Last week we promised that we would no tice the conduct of those Masonic Whigs of Frank lin county who withheld their votes and influence from our candidates for Governor and Congress, and whose treachery defeated the Whig county ticket. It will be understood that we allude to such men as Firvt,styros and Haartn, who pretending to be friendly to the Whig CAUBC,IITO nevertheless its most DANGIIROOB INXMIES. And we tell our Franklin county friends, not in a spirit of dicta tion or querulousness, but in a spirit of friendly candor, that until they get rid of these men, thoy can never count with certainty upon success. They will continually be subject to the mortifica tion of defeat, notwithstanding a good cause and a sound majority of several hundred voters. And we would ask what Is to bo feared from casting off these men As open enemies, they would be contemptible and harmless; they are dan. gerous only as pretended friend,. In proof of this, wetness the conduct of the old man For.x.sn. Tots in certifying to Porter's moral character and talents ! Being called, and calling himself a Whig,whers he was not known, his testimony was received as true, and the cause of onr candidate prejudiced, because the lie was given to his friends who had asserted that Porter was both immoral and incompetent. Had he been an open suppor ter of the V= Buren candidate, his testimony would have been received with the allowance duo to him as an interested witness; but professing to be a Whig, his declarations were sounded from one end of the Commonwealth to the other as the opinions of an honest opponent! In this way, he has done more injury than an hundred such imbe ciles, openly arrayed against our cause, could have done. HAUPEB, the Editor of that sheet of shreds . and patches, is one of the same stamp and calibre.— In the late contest, he pretended to be a neutral, yet he was over reedy to stab Ritner! And has not Franklin county felt the effects of such a neu trality in the defeat of her county ticket, and in the triumph of the friends of the General Adrnin blue lion . We hope, for the 'future success of our friends in Franklin, that hereafter these men, and all like them, will be found ranged, where they belong, under the banner of the enemy. Inert, they will cause no mischief. The Election. frrHuman patience is not equal to the task of enduring the recital of the OUTRAGES and FRAUDS by which the re• election of G ov. ernor RTTINER was prevented! Etery mail, from every corner of the Commonwealth, brings tidings of the isoraritous TULARE of the Van Buren party! Freemen of Pennsylvania! It ou have hitherto looked upon the right of sufrrage— resentatives, ae an invaluable one, secured to you by the Constitution. But what has that right availed you in the late contest?— It is true that more than 120,000 freemen went forward to the ballot box and cast their votes for Joseph Ritner; but what avails this, when a smaller number cast more tick ets for David R. Porter, the Government candidate ! Our adversaries we re determined an secur ing power, whether they had a majority or whether they had not. And it is a fact well known, that the Van Buren Central Com mittee had directed, long before the election, the majority which each township, in the Porter counties, was to give, and that with out reference to any change of circumstan ces! This is a fact, susceptible of proof.— Under the operation of such a plan of sys tematic rillany, what ckance had honest freeman! No matter what'exertions they might make, those exertions were neutral!• zed by the systematized fraud of their op ponents! In those counties in which the Porter men had a majority of the Return Judges, all boxes which gave Ritner large majorities 'were thrown away without having been counted! At Youngwomanstown, in Ly coming county, Ritnor's majority was 594, but this box was thrown away by the Porter Judges, without the allegation of any fraud, except that some illegal votes had been re ceived!! But suppose there had been fraud, the return judges have no cognizance ofsuch fraud--the Legislature is the Judge. The Return Judges must be governed by the re turn made by the Jtidges of the different Polls; they must receive all—except in the instance where two boxes are opened for a district or towrsbip, entitled by law but to out. In this case, it is the province of the Return Judges to decide which is the legal box. The same that was done at Youngwo manstown, also took place at Tunckhanock, in Luzerno county; and similar frauds have been practiced ip hundreds of places through out the Commonwealth! In this manner has the elcaion of David R. Porter been tiocured and the people defrauded of their riglitsl— Ais sure as we live, there is not one right held dear by freemen, that is not in danger under such a state of things! Our last hope for Pennsylvania is in the firmness of the Senate and House of Representatives. They must look to the rights of the people,or those rights are lost I 111**We would gladly turn front so dint• gfeeable a subject as that of the defeat of Jnetith Miner at the late election; but wo VW be unfaithfol to our trust, if we were to suffer such UNHALLOWED VILLANY as was practiced at that election to go unnoti ced. We are bound to admonish tho people, that their dearest rights have been invaded and abused by the reckless desperadoes,em• ployed , by the National Government, to se cure the election of David It. Porter! In some townships in the strong Porter counties, our friends wore driven from the polls and not suffered to vote! In others, where they were suffered to vote,the clerks' lists exhibit the names of a hundred voters, not one Of whom was ever known in the township—and that, too, in townships where no Public Works - are being carried on! In this way, was Joseph Ritner defeated! Look, too, at the conduct of the Judges in the Northern Liberties, where, because two Porter clerks had 10;1 or thrown away the tally papers of tiro Porter Districts, the votes of iye Whig Districts, against which no informality was alledged, were thrown away also, in order to elect the Tory Inger sol to Congress! Freemen, put up with such treatment if you can, without murmuring! You will then be fit for Stoic Philosophers! Pennsylvania Election. GovEuxon. AMENDMENTS Ritner. Porter. For.

Fannie, 23 10 House of Reps. 52 ' 48 On joint ballot, To the Friends of Joseph Ritner FELLOW CITIZENS—The General Elec. lion has resulted in a manner contrary to all our reasonable calculations and just expec tations. The opponent of our candidate for the office of Governor, appears to be elect ed by at least 5000 of a majority. This is an event to which, if it had been fairly pro duced, we, as good citizens, would quietly if not cheerfully submit. But there is such a strong probability of malpractice and fraud in the whole transaction, that it is our duty peacefully to resist it, and fully to oppose it. The election has been characteriz"d by features altogether unparalleled in the history of our State politics. A few of those of a more general nature, may be here instanced. When the returns from all the counties shall be received, it will probably be found that the whole vote given for Joseph Ritner on the 9th inst., is greater than that which he received in 1833, by a number at least equal to the natural, regular and legal in crea.,e of votes in the whole State in three years. It will also be found that his friends in nearly every county polled fully as many votes as they, before the election expected to do, upon the strength of which expecta tion a reasonable estimate gave him a ma jority of 10,000 votes. The grave ques tions then arise—Whence came the major ities returned for his opponents and, Row can he be defeated who has so well sustained himself with the people, and so largely in- It will be discovered that in the districts in which the friends of Joseph Ritner had the control of the elec:ione, a iiioderate-in crease of votes for him, arising from suffi• cient and well known causes, took place; while in the same districts his opponents had fair play and polled their full number of leial votes. On the other hand, it is known to all, that in the districts in which the Inspectors and Judges were the friends of Mr. Porter, not only were the friends al Joseph Ritner in many cases wholly exclu ded from voting, but his opponents admitted without shadow of right, thus swelling the majorities of Mr. Porter even beyond the wild expectations and extravagant calcula tions of his own friends. Is it right that this state of things (the existence of which each voter will determine by facts known to him sslf ) should be submitted to in a free coun try Finally, it is known that in several coun ties in which our opponents had the control, the votes of whole districts favorable to our candidate were, without shadow of law or justice, wholly rejected, and false and par tial returns made. Can there be any safety under republican institutions if such high handed oppression be tolerated I No! We owe it to ourselves as free men - and good citizens to examine into this matter; and if fraud be detected, to expose and resist it. We owe it to our country and to posterity. On behalf, therefore, of the State Com mittee of correspondence and vigilance, the propriety is suggested of taking measures al once for investigating the manner in which the election was conducted, and the result produced. /Veto al the time to make the examination, while the facts are fresh and the outrage recent. Let it be done then peacefully, determinedly and thorough ly. But let it be commenced with an hon est resolution to submit to the result wheth er it be favorable or unfavorable to our wishes. This is the duty of all who con tend for equal rights ann the supremacy of the laws. But, fellow citizens, until this investiga tion be fully made and fairly determined,let us treat the election of the 9th inst, as if we had not been defeated, and in that attitude abide the result. In the mean time your State Committee will take all proper measures on the occa sion, and, when the whole facts are known and the returns received, will probably ad dress you more at length. THO. H. BURROWES, Chm. St. Committee. Harrisburg, Oct. IN, 1838. • v.-- From the United States Gazette of Oct. 15. The County. We stated in our lasi the Intuition in which the county returns were left on Fri- day afternoon. We learn that those Judg• es who were willing that the people should be heard, made out correct returns of the County on return day, Friday, and banded them to thcv Sheriff—who, in fulfilment of his duties forwarded them to Harrisburg. On Saturday, those return Judges who had been unfortunately induced to hesitate between duty and party reality, carried to the Sheriff another set of returns: These of course could not be sent to Harrisburg, inasmuch as one set of returns had already been forwarded. Thia state of affairs so disastrous to the Van Buren men, was brought about by the greediness of Mr. Charles J. Ingersoll, to hive himself returned as member elect to Congress from the Third " District—and though his wicked plans were, it would seem, adopted by the Judges, yet no sooner is it proved that he has overreached them, than those who would have rejoiced with him in success, turn and curse him as the author of their misfortunes. The Commonwealth had certainly much occasion to blush for the disgraceful plot which has exploded. Flagrant Violation of Law ! High.handed Outrage!!! Upwards of six hundred Labor era dented the Right of Freemea!!!! The most unprincipled and daring outrage upon the elective franchise that has perhaps ever been heard of, was perpetrated in this borough on last Friday night. At the Youngwomanstown election dis trict, there were a large majority of votes polled for Ritner. The election was perhaps as fairly conducted at this district as at any other in the county--it was a canal district, and gave an overwhelming, majority, and spoiled the Porterites' calculation of a thou sand in this county. After the return judges had met in Williamsport, it was discovered that several affidavits and certificates had been prepared ns testimony to net aside the election. The judges, more than two thirds of whom are Porter men, agreed to throw the return of Youngwomanstown under the table. They admitted no evidence for, but heard all that was offered•agoinB4 the elec tion, without inquiring into the character of the witnesses; and we are credibly informed that some of them did not see any thing of the election; and others went therefrom oth er districts to create a disturbonce,and then came hero to testify that the election was illegal. 52 48 48 75 5S The return judges try to excuse them. selves for this high-handed conduct by say• ing that it does not affect any of the candi dates, and can therefore make no difference. Admitting that it does not affect the candi dates, let us briefly examine as to its making no difference. Are there no bets pending on this county? There certainly are, and the judges who rejected part of the votes of this county have themselves bet on tho ma jority in Lycoming county. Does it not make a difference to them? Are they will. ing to give up the bets? Or do they not rather claim them? Is it just that they should set themselves up as judges of their own case? This disgraceful and high-handed villany has no parallel in the history of the Commonwealth. There is no precedent in the world to which you can point. Every good citizen ought to protest against such daring trampling under foot of the laws of the land. The rejection of Youngwomanstown dis •-"t• was a,nrqmoditated plot. It was fre quently stated hero, two weeks prior to the election, that if Chapman, Colebrook, and other districts gaire too large a majority for Ratner, they would be rejected. This con• duct must put the seal of everlasting dis grace upon all that were engaged in it. But there is another light in which we wish to set this case, to show whether it makes no difference. SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY.SIX freemen voted at this election. The judges from other districts say that these votes shall not be admitted— they say that the Irish on the canal,and the laborers on the public improvcmen's wet e permitted- to vote, and for this the whole election must be set aside. Ye patriotic sons of old Ireland! will you submit to such an unholy proceeding? Ye laborers! ye who make our canals and railroads--who toil hard for the good of the country, will you silently see such base and despicable insult cast upon you? Are you willing that your votes shall be rejected, and you deprived of the dearest rights of freemen?. Your fath ers fought and bled and died in achieving and maintaining the liberty of Americaal— Are you less patriotic than they were? Does the same blood no longer flow through your veins, and are you ready to be slaves to the loco loco party? We hope not. You will long remember this outrage—you will not forget the party that has denied you the right of suffrage. Wherever you may pitch your tent—wherever you may sing the notes of "Erinigo Bragh,"you will remember this when you go to the polls. ANOTHER LOCO FOCO OUTRAGE UPON THE ELECTI VE FRANCHISE. Since our paper went to press, we have learned that the return Judgeb of the Sena torial District composed of Huntingdon, Mif fin, Juniata, Union and Perry, which had elected two Democratic Antimasonic Sena tors in the place of Davtd R. Porter and Mr. Slenker, two Loco Focos, have REJECT ED IME VOTE OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY, and RETURNED THE LO CO FOCO CANDIDATES AS ELEC TED. This is carrying out the system of fraud, to its utmost extent. What will they do next7—Harrisburg Tellegraph. Dear Sir—lt is said, 'the Reading,dis trict,' which gave Mr. Porter 12 majority will be contested. The reasons Assigned are, that some of the judges had considera ble bets depending upon the election, and that gross frauds were practiced in receiv ing illegal votes. A part of the' district, it is also said, polled above 200 votes more than there are_taxable inhabitants in it. I such be the case persons having made bets upon Berks that would be effected by such a contest would do well to hold on a little. From the United States Gazette. NEW MODE OF BLASTING. With the heading above, we have seen a paragraph going the rounds of the papers. It contained an account of a new mode of blasting rocks, by which they might be "plit to (finders" with little trouble ; but we From tho Lycoming Free Prom DARING lITILLANIr. Extract of a letter• dated READING, 12, Oct. 38. thought on Saturday and Sunday, that a still more effective mode of blasting had been brought into operation: The great mass of Loco Focos of the county were united in one mighty blasting of Mr. C. J. Ingersoll and such a blow up as they gave him, we have not often heard. There was a Con centration of blasting—the whole current of curses united in a focus on the poor man's heed for having led them into a snare just for his own convenience. We really felt sorry to hear any human being so belabored. "Mine enemy's dog that had bitten me" should not have been so beblusted. Belling. Now that the election has closed, and Ilse excitement. consequent upon the reception of the returns has ceased, we feel it n duty to enter our solemn protest against the prac• tice of betting on elections, which practice acquired an extent during the recent can vast' wholly unparalleled, and which has tended to vitiate the public mind and to op erate most disastrously upon the election re turns. We do not now allude to results adverse or favorable to either party, but to the consequences upon the purity of the polls. It is impossible for the public to have confidence in judges pecuniarily inter ested in making returns; and even though :he officer of the day should not have made bets large enough to corrupt his morals, still his friend, who has bets pending to the amount of ten or fifteen thousand dollars, and there are many such friends in this state, may make it his interest to be as corrupt as if he had bets to one third the amount de• pending upon the results. It must be borne in mind, that a groat portion of the bets are made upon single counties or small portions of the state. For example, during the late canvass, it was a favorite bet to put Merits against Lancaster and Chester. Now it will be perceived that wherever large bets are made upon results, there must be strong expectations on both sides, and of course a belief that a few votes either way would turn the balance—the weak officer then, in fluenced by his own bet, or by an interest in the success of his friend, sees before him a chance of profit, hen his violation of a sacred duty would have an immediate and certain reward, without awaiting the con• tingencies of distant counties, or the delay of receiving returns from the whole state. This is one of the immediate evils which bet ting is liable to work, and which we do most undoubtingly believe has wrought, to the public in the late eled.rn in Pennsylvania. T:ie consequences of such n course, if per. sisted in, must be a destruction of all confi dence in elections, and a consequent disre. gtird of returns. 'Phis is a destruction of republicanism. We may hope, however, that the flagrancy of the evil this autumn will induce the legislature of the state to in terpose some preventive of future evils, to enact some law that shall disfranchise the mat. that will not swear that he has no bet pending to be 'influenced by the vote which ho is about to give Something must be done. We do not now allude to one, party more than another—it is with bets tis with other contests, there must be two sides—in 13101t11%, buwuver, bUlla rildrN ~, wrong In the beginning.— U. S. Gazette. DISPUTED ELECTIONS.—The St. Louis Republican says :—"The Legislative elec. Lion in several counties in Illinois will be contested. Doctor Vandeventer, of Schuy ler codnty, will contest the right of Wm. A. Richardson to a seat in the Senate, Mr. Richardson was elected by only seven votes, many of which were illegal, and it is said that a Loco Foco judge of the election pocketed a number of the tickets handed in by Dr. Vandeventer's friends." ILLnvois.—The last number of the 111 i• noian contains the official returns of the pull for Governor. The aggregates are as follows: For Carlin, Administration, Edwards, Whig. • Administration majority, Less than 1,000 in 60,000 votes—a lean majority, indeed. In 1832 the Jackson majority was 8,715; in 1836 it was reduc ed to 2,982; and now, In 183 R, it is 996. According to this scale of downward pro gression, what will it be in 1840 7 ILLINOIS.—AII parties must be satisfied with the result of the Congressional elections in Illinois.

MARYLAND ELEOTION.- - The ascertained majority for Mr. Grnf,.sozr, the Democratic candidate for Governor, as disclosed by the official returns from all the counties, is 311 votes. Mr. Grason received 37,720 votes, and Mr. Steele 27,409. IN GEORGIA. The entire State Rights Whig ticket for Congress is elected, and the Augusta Chronicle states that the same party will probably have a majority of two in the Senate, and four in the lower House of the State Legislature. BALTIMORE, October 16. CITY ELECTION. The municipal elec• tion which was held yesterday in this city, resulted most decidedly in favor of the Whigs. Gen. SIIETPARD C. LEARIN, the Whig candidate for Mayor, succeeded over Col. MOORE, his Van Buren opponent by a majority of 467 votes. In the City Coun cil, we have carried 14 out of 24 members of the First Branch; and 7 out of 12 mem• hers of the Seeded Branch, thus securing a Whig majority in each Branch of the Conn cil, and a majority of six votes on joint hallot.—Patriot. A writer in the Genoese.) Farmer says, `When I was a school boy I had a largo wart upon my thumb. My teacher told me to rub it against my frOnt teeth as soon as I woke in the morning, for a number of morn ings, and it would soon disappear. I obey ed, and my wart disappeared in less than two weeks, without pain except in - the act of rubbing. I may add- that I have had warts at times since, (being now fifty.four years of age,) and the same means applied for a bhort time always removed them.' From the Baltimore American, French Blockade. A correspondence has taken place, be tween the New York thamber of Com merce and Mr. VAIL, acting Secretary of State, in reference to the interruption of American Commerce caused by the enforce ment of the blockade of the Mexican and Buenos A yrean Coasts on the part of French cruisers. In their communication to the Government the officers of the Chamber of Commerce urge upon its attention the pro priety of adopting such measures as the rights and interests of the country may re quire. Without venturing an opinion as to the legality of the blockade in question, it is stated that in the estimation of the Cham ber its enforcement, without previous notice, to the injury of innocent third parties, is contrary to the comity practised among civilized nations. It weirld appear tnat ves sels which had left the United States previ ously to the institution of the blockade, and of course without any notice thereof, have been forced to return home. Of the ruinous effects of the blockade of the coast of Bue nos Ayros, and that of Mexico on the Pa cific, should such n state of things take place, nothing of course can yet he known, at the same time that the Chamber is ad vised of several vessels with very valuable cargoes, having left the city of New York previously to any suggestion of a blockade of the marts of Mexico, the cargoes of which will probably he lost, should they be pre vented from entering, the ports for which they have sailed. The Chamber requests to be informed, if practicable, of the extent mid probable duration of the blockade so far as the Government is advised, with a view to impart information for the instruction of agents in the countries concerned, under the embarrassing circumstances of the case. In his answer, Mi. VAIL, Acting Secre• tary of State, after apologizing for not hav ing, owing to the absence of the President, been able to respond at an earlier period, says on the part of the Government, that aware of the inconvenience which would probably arise from the causes mentioned, orders have been given for the adoption of such measures as should afford protection to the interests of our citizens in the seas named. Those measures will, it is stated, he continued. No information had been received of any blockade of Mexican ports in the Pacific, nor does the Department know any thing of the probable duration of the existing blockade. Mr. Vail expresses the belief that "from the sensation which its operation appears to have excited through- out the commercial world, and the efforts understood to be made towards an adjust ment of the dispute. which gave rise to it, the hope is entertained that it cannot be much longer, protracted." DIVISION IN TIIE ALBANY SYNOD. The Synod of Albany met on Tueiday the 9th inst. at Hudson. One hundred and eight members wore enrolled Some others af terwards, appeared, making the whole num ber 112. Immediately after the roll was completed, a resolution was ollered, expres sing an adherence to tho Assembly that mot in ma ac•cutlr Olstsruir, Pliilatlolphio, (th. old School.) Another was made to lay this on the table, and the vote was, Ayes 75 Noes 20 • • non liquet, about 13 The moverthen stated that it was evident a division must take place, and that in an ticipation of this, a room in the same Church had been procured, and he requested the minority to withdraw to that room. The whole body then united in prayer. Those that withdrew, including those that subse quently enrolled their names with them, amounted to 36, who organized as a Synod. Those that remained and acted with the old Synod numbered upwards of 60, and 10 or 15 declined acting at present. Some of these are waiting the result of the law suits, in November next. Nothing unkind was said or done. The division seemed the re sult of an honest difference of opibion. LAND SLIDE. IN V ichsaunc•—The Nat cies Free Trader of the 25th instant, de scribes the beginning of an avalanche or sink ing of the earth on the margin of the landing at Vicksburg which threatens serious dam age to the front street of that city. Deep rents in the earth, parallel to the river, were found to have been made as high up as Wash ington street, nearly opposite to the site of the late Pinckard Hotel, commencing near the bottom of Main street,and running south madly as far as the railway. The large warehouse owned by Messrs.

There should he a goodly number in at tendance from Old Adams. • The Borough Election. 'The Loco Feces have made sundry state ments relative to the votes in the Borough. They allege that they gave 101 votes for Porter, when they counted only 84, and they have procured af fidavits lending to prove it. Now, all must see that these gentlemen, many of them, must have sworn rashly, to say the least of it. Several of them can neither read nor write, but make their insrks. How could, they safely swear who they voted for? At least a dozen of the swearers were known to be drunk when they were led to the polls. How can they swear who they voted for? Several of those who swear for others, were drunk also! One recent convert who had conducted himself decently for several years, and during all that time adhered to the Anti-Ma sonic party, relapsed into drunkenness shortly be fore the election, and swears for those who don't know how they voted!! Every body knows that half the men who vote never open their tickets. How can such men swear to their votes? In Franklin county, at the lute election,Ritner men circulated and Ritner men voted Porter tickets until near one o'clock, by mistake and imposition, in three or four districts! How rash, then, to suborn those poor creatures in the Borough to swear what they knew nothing of!! But if these things be true, it sbows the neces sity of a thorough investigation of the election un der the authority of the Legislature. Such inves tigation will be rnade,and we invite our Loco Foco neighbors to join us in it, and ferret out all the frauds of the late contesh The late Elections.—The Frauds and False Returns of the Loco Focos! al-The late Governor's election has been con ducted by the friends of Porter with a bitterness and recklessness unparalleled even in the warfare of those unprincipled politicians! Not only have they dealt in the most unblushing falsehoods, and shameless . caltimnies, but at the polls, and in the counting,off the tickets, and making out the re turns, frauds are believed, by judicious and inqui ring men, to have been committed to an amount exceeding 10,000 votes! This may seem incredi ble to those of our readers who have not been in formed of the villanous mode pursued by the Loco Foco Darts heretofore in tho County of Philadel phia, and this year extended into every County where they had largo majorities. For the last ten years in the County of Phila delphia, the votes returned have borne no resem blance to the votes actually polled! The Inspec tors and Judges being secured, the tickets are poll ed before the day of election, and when they count off, the spurious box is substituted for the genuine one! Tickets, with names to correspond, are ad ded far beyond those actually polled! Such this year is known to have been the case in the Coun ty of Philadelphia, especinl:y in Kensington, mak ing a difference against Mr. Ritner of about 2,000 votes! That corrupt system, long practised in Phila delphia county, has this year been put in success ful operation in Derks and almost all their strong counties. In many of them where the instruments were bunglers, they have not been able to add through the whole ticket, but have added only the Governor's tickets. In several counties, the votes I returned fur Governor is from 300 to 500 more than for the other parts of the ticket! This is con clusive evidence of fraud. In other countics,more votes have been returned than there are taxables! A thing impossible to be honestly done, except where Public Works are in progress. The votes actually polled heretofore have usually been about two-thirds as many as the taxables in the State. It is believed that 30,000 more votes over 1835 are this year returned than the true increase of voters. In the County of Philadelphia, the Porter re turn judges excluded the whole of the Northern Libcrtics,which gave Mr. Ritner about 2,500 votes. In Huntingdon County, they struck out Morris township, which gave him about 600 majority.— In Lycoming County, they rejected Youngwo manstown district, which gave him about 550 ma jority. Moro than 1,500 fraudulent votes can be proved in Berke, and in other Counties enough to reduce Mr. Porter into the minority, and conclu sively show that the whole election has been so tainted with fraud as to render it an ad of jus tice to the people to declare it toed. The Elective Franchise is a mockery, if such things are permit ted to pass unexamined. Honest men bad better stay away from the polls, and let the gamblers have it all their own way, unless such villany be prosecuted and corrected. In returning the Senators elect, the Porter Jud gas in Philadelphia County refused to count the votes of the Northern Liberties, so as to return Ingersoll to Congress and their County ticket. In the Huntingdon, Union. Juniata, Mifflin and Per ry district, they threw away Huntingdon County altogether, because it gave 900 majority for the Ritner ticket, and they returned the Porter Sena tors ! It worn be too tedious to enumerate all similar cases of frond! Enough has been stated, to 'give our readers some idea of the vi.lany of the late election. , Wo will further merely state, TIIAT locos FULL CONSULTATION OF OUR FRIENDS, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO CONTEST THE GOVERNOR'S ELECTION FIJLLY AND FAIhLY. Until tho decision is made, and Mr. Porter in augurated, (as we believe he will never be,) we would advise our friends to pay none of their bets. If thowfinally lose them, they will lose them by robbery. Berko County. ca•Wohare been requested (says the Reading Journal) to caution our friends against giving up at this time any bets made on Berke County, as there is reason to believe that a groat number of illegal votes have been polled, in reference to wkich some investigation is contemplated. The Washington Globe and our Election. (EySpeculation has been busy in our little com munity for the last week, as to the causes of the Major's recent hasty trip to Washington. tome have thought that he had gone to claim the reward of his unscrupulous services for the perjured Por ter and their common master Van Buren. and re new hie petitions at the foot stool of power, for a Judgeship or some other snuggery in lowa or Wisconsin; others have conjectured one thing and some another. However this may be, the Washington "Globe" of the 16th inst. explains and unfolds one part of his errand. In the columns of that paper, we observe an ar ticle which bears evident marks of the worthy Ma jor's skill in "ciphering'—in which the Editors of that Journal,pronipted by this redoubtable worthy, take up the recent election in Adams County, and entleavoM to show that the large majority for Mr. Ritner in this County was made up of illegal and imported votes, and that without them,there would have been a majority for Porter, and the Vnn Bu ren County candidates—because they say the Re publican (Loco Foco) poll was raised since 1837 from 1315, (Miller's vote) to 1335, the vote for Porter—a gain of strength among the "resident population" of 190 votes! Now let us see, Messrs. Editors of tho Globe, whether the Major has not prompted you wrong a little: There is but one district in the County (the Millerstown District) in which rail road votes of any account, were polled. This district con sists of two townships, Liberty and Hamiltonban; in the latter only of which did any laborers nn the rail road vote, as it does not pass through the for met. Now, take the entire vote in this whole Dis trict, including, of course, all the rail road hands who voted, as well as the stationary voters in both Townships,from the whole vote for Ritner in 1838, and we have the result, Thus, Whole vote for Ritner, 3310 His vote in Millerstown District 1234 which leaves as the vote for Ritner in the County, exclusive o the "big" district. Now take the vote for Stevens in 1837, (viz. 1807.) from this, and we have an increase of votes amongst what the Globe itself will acknowledge to bo the "resident population," of 269 for Ritner since 1837! But to this is to be added Ritner's votes obtain ed among the "resident citizens" of the Millers- town District—because in the calculation of the Globe showing the increase on their side of the house, by comparing Miller's vote in 1837 with Porter's in 1838, the same thing is done; that is. the 1535 votes for Porter included all the votes he got in the County, Millerstown included, and be cause they form part of the 1807 votes for Stevens in 1837. Now, the Anti-Masonic party always have hod a clear, immoveable majority in that District, (without the Rail Road,) of 150 votes. Supposing Rttner to have had the sanic,. (and there is no rea son to suppose be had less, because he gained in all the other Districts,) his actual vote in that District, exclusive of tho Rail Road, will be found by adding this majority to the vote for Poi ter,which was 116, making 266. Now add this to 2070, Ritnefe vote among the "resident population" of the rest of the County, and we have the follow ing rennin Ritner's resident vote in Afillerstown dis. 266 do. do. in the rest of tho Co., 2076 Ritneee whole resident vote 2342 Highest vote (Steven's) in 1837 1807 535 Showing, by the same scale of comparison adop ted by the Globe, ti RitnPr gain since 1837 of 535 votes, without counting a single rail road vote! Now, as the whole Anti-Masonic ticket was e lected in 1831 by between 4 and 500 majority,and the Loco Focos have since,according to the Globe, gained among the resident voters' only 190 votes whilst we have gained 535 among the same class of population, how does the Globe arrive at the conclusion that the " Democratic gain, according to the well ascertained number of legal votes,would have elected the Republican County candidate?" We queation whether twenty Jack Downings could "rifer" that out ! Again: The Globe swells the actual increaso of votes in the county,from 1837 to 1838, from 1693 to upwards alum) thousand! In 1837, the vote for Stevens was 1807 Miller 1345 'hoNs number of votes in 1R37 3152 In 1838, the vote for Ritner 3310 Porter 1535----4815 Whole increase 1693 Of this increase, the Globe claims for the Loco Paco party, out of the resident population 190 Wo have shown a regular increase of the same kind for Ritner of 535-725 Which would leave nine hundred and sixty-eight to be set down to the score of laborers on the Rail Road. But it may be asked, how is this increase of 725 in an "old county" like Adams, in a single year,to be accounted for! The answer is easy: The eon.- sus taken a few years since of the taxable inhabi tants of the fitate,to fix the ratio of representation gave Adams county upwards of 4,200 taxables, if we remember right—we have not the returns at hand to ascertain the precise number.• Now if we add the gain of 725 to the whole vote in 1837,- 3152—we shall have 3877, as the resident voters who voted at the late election—a number short of the whole number of taxables by about 300 or up wards. Now contrast this with Berke and other Porter counties,where one-fourth more votes were polled than there are known to he taxables ! But the Glube's number of Rail Road, or as it affects to call them, ..11111ED AND IMPOILTED TO• Tams," being thus reduced from "upwards of 2,- 000 — to a littler over 900, we will still bo told it was an awful sin to let these 900 laborers vote ! Why? Because they are LitionEns—a kind of "coactas and Tusitsas"—of whom this same Globe speaks so disrespectfully! Is honest labor then, to work illsfranchisement? Is a man not t' vote, because ho toils with his 'own hands to earn honest bread? Were they not laboring on a btate work, began and carried on under a law of the State, for State purposes? And is the Laborer •Since this article has been put in type, we have ascertained the census of Adams in 1835 to be 5,161 in the employ of the State, on that account to lose his rights? If so, how many would be willing to take tho wages and do the work of so thankless a service? Oh, but says the Globe, they were Foreigners— nascra.ty FOREIGNERS ! Well, and what then! Is a man to be proscribed and out-Jawed, because he is a Foreigner, although ho hae brought him self within the pale of our laws and acquired the rights of a citizen? But the Globe will deny that these men had acquired such rights. Look at it: There are now about 1800 hands employed on the rail road. On the day of the election there were more—probably 2,000, If the election in the Millerstown district was characterized by the fraud which the Globe alleges to have existed, why were not those whole 2,000 laborers arrayed at the polls and their votes taken? In Barks coun ty such a thing would have been done without scruple! The reason is, because those only a mong them voted who were entitled to do so, and the rest staid away. A few that did offer, were promptly rejected by the Inspector, whose conduct was such as to force the applause even of the Lo co Focos on the spot, until after reflection, and the promptings of such pettifogging demagogues as the tale-bearer of the Globe, admonished thorn to be silent ! So much for this part of the Major's tale ! In the same article in the Globe, we see re-pub lished, from the Compiler, the affidavits in regard to the election in this Borough: This we can scarcely deign to notice. Here, where the men are known, and the character of the agents under stood, it has and will utterly fail in making the de sired impression. A single remark will suffice to show how this thing has been managed: We can prove that one of the signers declared, on seeing the pualicatior•. in the Compiler, that the Magis trate had written down a dfferent deposition from what he swore In, and that, as it stood, it made him swear to whirl lie never swore, and to what was a lie! There are others among them, belonging to the Loco Foco party, who call be proved to have voted for Ritner. Some who declared on the day of the election and the morning after that t ley had done so, and persisted in so saying until the news be ganto come in that Porter was elected, and the little, rascally demagogues, who infest and dis grace our town, began to whisper their temptations to falsehood and perjury in their ears! and others, who for a dram of whiskey, could ho procured to swear to any thing—probably because they think that this kind of extra-judicial swearing don't a mount to much after all ! We dismiss the subject by adviiipg the Editors of the Globe to cease their impertinent intertned dling with Pennsylvania matters. We in little Adams, at least, will try to get along the best way we can without their interference, and take care of our own elec!ions. Wo inform them,elso,that so far as MENDACITY and FALSEHOOD are concerned, their interference is unnecessary—as the Loco Foci, organ here, under its present management, is quite equal to bearing any burthen of that kind that it may be seen fit, for the good of the party, to impose ! 0!-II-!
