THE.GREAT LOCO FOCO CON
SPIRACY.
TO OUR FELLOW-CITIZENS OF THE UNION.
In Joint Executive Committee of the Whig
Gentrol Committee of the city of NCID
York.
Naw Your, October 24, 1840.
For some tinie past, the great Whig par
-ay has been threatened, through the Loco
Foco papers in various pineal the country,
that some:matter was on foot for their de.
'inaction, which wit denominated by the
Adminiqtration papers Mr. Van Buren's
Last Card." The public attention ►n all
parts:of the country was called to the sub•
kid advance, by dark insinuations and
mysterious threats. All this time the Loco
Face party was maturing its pions and keep.
ing its councils. It was determined among
them that their machine should explode so
shortly before the election that its intamous
contents :night be scattered through the
Urtion without leaving time to the Whig
party to make , its defence, or even to tell its
own story.
While both parties stood in a state of
suspense and awaiting the expected shock,
all at once on yesterday the 23d day of Oc
tober, the mine was sprang, by the publica
tion in the Loco Foco papers of the city, of
a portion of certain proceedings then being
had before the Recorder and District Attor
ney of this city, sitting in secret session,
viz: the affidavit •of one Stevenson, based
upon !Marley. that certain individuals
among the most respectable and valuable of
our citizens, had, in the'year. 1839, entered
into t►trangemeuts for importing voters into
the city of New York, for the then pending
election, from the city of Philadelphia.—
None of the affidavits disproving the accu
sation were published except in one or two
instanees, but means had been taken to give
the utmost circulation to the charges, which
were scattered through the country in im
mense numbers immediately on the same
coming from the press. In anticipation of
these publications. letters were sent, and
private reports set in circulation, that the
-Governor of the State was actually in ens
'tody in the matter; that Aaron Clark (our
late Whig Mayor) had also been arrested,
and that Moses H. Grinnell, one of our pre
sent Representatives in Congress, had ab.
'mended. Simultaneously with the publi
cation of the proceedings in our papers,
placards had been posted in Boston, and, at
is presumed, in other distant places, stating
these reports to be true, on the authority
of letters from thiticity, with the intention
of deceiving the public by false and mall
cious statements.
Tho whole, fellow-citizens, is a base and
notorious conspiracy—a wretched and bare.
faced attempt to impose upon the commu•
pity—a gross and outrageous attempt to
CHEAT TEE PEOPLE.
Our duty is to meet the matter promptly;
and we meet it the first moment we have
the opportunity, by the publication of the
facts. We now explicitly declare, that not
only are all the statements with regard to
the arrest of Governor Seward and Mr.
Clark, and the absconding of Messrs. Grin
cell and Wetmore, totally and entirely with
out foundation, but that they are pursuing
their usual avocations among their fellow
citizens, without molestatiori. You will
also perceive that no evidence has been ad.
duced, bringing home to the Whig party of
city, or any of its leaders, any participation
in the alleged fraud although the examina
tion has been ex parte, and conducted in an
unprecedented manner. •
,In conclusion, we beg leave to state; that
as a large portion of the members of this
Committee were connected with the Exec
utive Committee during The Election of No
vember, 1839, we do most explicitly and
solemnly declare, that, so far as the knowl
edge of this Committee extends, no such
transactions as are alleged ever occurred;
and we pronounce the whole scheme intend.
ed to injure the characters of individuals,
and to destroy the prospects of the Whig
party throughout the country, as a base and ,
unfounded Plectionei-ring, falsehood.

THE LOCO FOCO NATURALIZATION
FRAUD EXPOSED.
Art VPIZIGIUT ihrlslON.—The matter in
relation to the Naturalization frauds, which
''bas agitated the public for some days, has
at length been brought to a close. The
frauds have never been denied, but on the
contrary, here been admitted time and
again. It will be seen by the decision
which we r:ive below, that the Judgea of
the Court of Quarter Seasions have ordered
these false declarations, and the names of
the individuals who obtained Certificates
on such declaration% to be stricken, from •
the records. Thus, in this matterotleast,
justice has been done, although the cfloct
of the fraudulent votes given at the hist
election remains to be nullified. It will
thus be seen by our fellow:citizens in Phil
adelphia and elsewhere, that the frauds
which The Wing papers altved took place
prior to the btst election, and through which
*tarp body of Loco Fccn votes wore ilk
gaily p u lled, have been fully subs'antiated
by our Courts of Justice. There is no :n:8
take in this matter. Unlike the pr3tended
frauds of New York, thie•case is clear and
beyond dispute. We give the decision of
the Judges, and , need only add that this de
cision applied to every individual of the
long list, who obtained false papers on ille
gal and forged Certificates of Declaration.

It appearing in the Court that one JOHN
FORSYTH has sent on to this Court, for
the purpose of making them panderers to
party baseness, cei lain packages of vile and
slanderous papers, to wit: one package of
Tatra .Globes,' one package of 'Addresses'

the ignorant, and to make the honest voters
as corrupt as the administration from which
they emanated; and this Court being un
willing to pander to the views of a corrupt
administration, or be made a tool ore party,
as is the aforesaid JOHN FORSYTH: It
is therefore ordered that the Sheriff of this
county do take the aforesaid papers, and

—Au election took place in the Harrods
burg District on Monday 19th inst. to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death of the
late S. H. Anderson. Mr. Thompson was
the Wnig candidate, and a Mr. Daniel was
run by the Loculbcos. The Louisville Juur
nal says:—We have a letter from Harrods
burg dated on Tuesday, which says:—
"Thompson's majority on the first day, as
lar us heard from, is 474. The.whol.• Dis
trict is heard from except Sims, a precinct
in this county, whiCh will not change the
result. Thompson's majority will be in

DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK AND Loss or
Llnc.—The Norfolk Beacon says:—The
schr. Sailor's Venture, Captain Brown,
which left New Ynik on Friday afternoon
last, for the wreck of the brig Alvira, 13
miles !yolk of Cape Henry. was capsized in
a heavy squall, fium . N. W. on the follow
ing morning at 3 A. M. South of Cape Hen
ry end about 6 miles from the land. 'f he,
crew remained on the wreck until 9 A. M.
when the mainmast was carried from its
step, which forced the deck up and the yes
sel went to pieces; two of the crew were
drowned when the seler capsized. Capt.
Brown and one the crew succeeded in get
hold of a few planks from-the quarter
dec e lt. - on which they held until nearly MM•
dawn, and on approaching the snore, the
seaman was drowned... Capt. Brown, the
only survivor, reached Norfolk on Monday,
from whom we received the foregoing ac
count.
RestriurrioN.—Bicknell'a Reporter, of
Philadelphia announces with confidence
that all the Banks of Philadel,thin, the U. S
Bank among the number, will reautize spe
cie payments, on the 15th of ifinuary next
Thu Banks in the country will generally,we
presume, follow the example.
DEATH DF A UNITED STATEE.SENATOR.
—The Philadelphia United States G'azette
says: "We understand that the Hon. John
S. Spence, United States Senator from (the
Eastern Shore) Mar,yland,*died at his resi

morning last. Mr. S was a gentleman of
enlarged views, of estimable character, and
respected in all the relations of life. His

MAINE ALL. Ettour!—The question in
regard to which party polled the greater}
number of votes at the recent election in
Maine, has been settled by the Lnco
. Foco
Governor and Council. On Tuesday last
Goy. Fairfield and his Loco Foca Council,
opened and counted the ballots given at the
recent election for members of Congress.
and have officially declared the following
result:
Fot the Whigs,
For the Loco Focos,
CM=
This includes all the scattering votes giv
en by ‘Vhigs on both sides—but if all the
scattering votes, even those given to Whigs,
were counted for the Loco Focos, the
Whigs would still have a majority! This
settles the question in regard to Maine.
, CONSUMPTION.-Dr. Latour, of Paris,
has published the following rules for pre
venting consumption in those persons who
are predisposed to it:
"A consumptive patient should inhabit a
dry, airy locality, well exposed to the influ
ence of the solar rays. Residence in any
large city predisposes to consumption. A
temperate climate should be chosen, -where
the variations of the temperature are neither
sodden nor frequent. Travelling, and pat•
ticularly sea voyages, is attended with di
cided advantage in the early stage of cot
sumption. The patient should be warmly
clothed, and covered with flinnel from head
to foot. He should take habitually some
moderate exercise, as walking, riding, &c.;
exposure to the open air and sun's rays are
ahsolutely necessary. He should exercise
the mind in a moderate degree, but avoid
all strong moral emotions. He must re
nounce any .profess;on which requires strong
muscular exertion, a bent position of the
body, a• residence in a damp moist place,
&c. and, finally, the food should be rich
and nourishing."
"BRING TOUR SEWING AND SPEND TUI

on one another to take tea across the Atlan•

lint style, and thus completed the most ex.
traordinnry voyage on record.--N. 0. Pic.
A CAUTION TO STAGE PROPRIETORS AND
DRIVERS.—The Frankfort (Ky.) Common•
wealth states that in the . tall of 18:39, the
mail stage line, owned by Messrs. E. P.
Johnson & Cu. and the opposition line own
ed by Messrs. McNair & Weaver, came in
contact on the turnpike road near Shelby
ville, by which the mail line was upset and
several passengers had their limbs fractured.
Amongst the permons injured was Mr. Isaac
Laughlin, the driver of the mail line who
had the misfortune to have one foot and an-
Ida crushed to pieces, by which he has been
made a cripple for life. He sued McNair
& Weaver, the proprietors of the opposi
tion, for the injury, alleging the wanted
conduct of their driver as the cause. The
case was tried some time since in the Shel
by Circuit Court, and a verdict was given
in favor of Laughlin for $1,900. A new
trial was grunted upon application of the
delenduutto; the case was removed to the
Henry Circuit Court,and there tried the last
week, when a verdict of $2,000 was given.

of a man's face can be represented on a ma
tunic plate in less than two minutes, with an
exactness never attained by the drawing
pencil or the engraver's toil; and by a new
invention any number ofclepies can be taken

copperplates can be multiplied, or taken
from wood cuts without the blurring of

now type can be set, distributed. arid re-act
by the same machine, in a brief space of
time and without the human band being
brought into contact with them. Truly,this

not some of these new ..contr ivances be so

From the New Haven Register
Honnzo.—The town of Wallingford, was
on Tuesday morning thrown into great ex
citement by the commission of murder and
suicide. A young woman by the name of
June H. Allen, had been keeping house fur
Mr. Milo Hopkins, of that town, for more
than a year past, and was being assisted by
Mr. Hopkins in procuring a bill of divorce
from her husband, with whom she lived but
a short time after Marriage. On
,Monday
last, they both came to this city, procured
the bill of divorce, and returned to the house
of Mr. Hopkins, where it was supposed
they would soon be married. The next
morning, (Tuesday) Mr. Hopkins rose ear
ly, and taking en axe, proceeded to the room
in which the young woman and her mother
were sleeping and literally cut her in pieces
without offering any violence to the mother.
He then retired immediately to his own
room and killed himself, by cutting his
throat with a razor. No motive can be as
signed
for this astounding conduct of Mr.
H., as it was supposed his attachment for
the young lady was very strong. We un•
derstand he had exhibited no signs of do.
rangement, and was comfortably situated as
regards a fair proportion of the world's
goods, and was considered a decent citizen.
The New Haven Herald gives • some ad.
dittonal particulars in the following state.
went. •
On returning from court on Monday
evening, Hopkins wished her to marry him,
but her mother coming on a visit to hor and
wishing to confer with her, she declined.—
The mother and daughter slept together,
and Hopkins in another room. In the mor
ning Hopkins called on Mrs Allen to get
up, which she did not do, and he called a
second time. His cull not being attended
to he became enfuriated, and having procu
red an axe he went into the room and struck
the woman while in bed: with the head of
the axe, each blow proved fatal, but with
savage ferocity he turned the edge of his
axe and literally chopped his victim limb
from limb. The desperate man then re
turned to his own room; and with a knife
severed the jugular vein, and in a short
time bled to death. The mother escaped
unhurt and gave the alarm.
We undersland,that all the parties enga•
ged in this rag.-dy are of the lowest order
of society and very intemperate. The im•
mediate agent in this awful catastrophe was
RUM, Hopkins:having purchased two quarts
on Monday, most of which he had con
sumed.

STARTING CHILDREN IN THE WORLD:—
Many an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly all his life for the purpose of
leaving enough to give his children a start
in the world, as it is called. Setting a young
man afloat with money left him by his rela
tives is like tying bladders under the - arm of
one who cinnut uwim; ten chances to one
lie will lose his bladders and go to the hot.
torn- Teach him to swim and lie will never
need the bladders. Give your child a sound
education, and you have done enough fur
him, See, too, that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated, and his whole maitre
made subservient to the laws which govern
men, and you have given him what will be
of more value then the wealth of the Indies.
You have given him,a start which no mis
fortune can deprive him of. The earlier

The only item of local interest is a rumor of

Cumanches. A severe battle is reported to
have taken place, in which many of the re

the St. Louis Advocate of the 21st ultimo,
as having been brought by a traveller from
Victoria. It is not mentioned in the Gal•
veston papers of a later date, and we are
inclined to the opinion, that it is a falai;
alarm. The cotton crop of Texas this year
is quite productive. The estimate is that
50,000 bales will be raised. 'rho harvest

Travelling never was so cheap as now.—
In the packet ships a passenger can go in
the cabin for one hundred dollars, even to
Collins' famous ships,"the prettiest models
and fastest sailors in the world." To go iu
the steam ships, however, lie must pay
twenty dollars more. Some prefer one—
some prefer the other. There ib no want

to steam it, have an opportunity to satisfy
their propensity in that line—nod those who.
like to blow it, ran satisfy this too by going

that he was in New York or had any ham!,

Below we give the returns as far as they have
been received of the election held in this State for
President and Vice President. Of the counties
to bear from, the majority of them are small—their
majorities being mostly against us—taking them
at the majorities given on the 13th, as reported
by the Van Buren calculations, which are most
favorable to themselves, we still defeat them.—
Harrison's majority is now 7,541, end 20 counties

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AT THE POLLS.—
An Editor nearly Murdered by Gorern
meat Bullies while Exercising the Right
of -Suffrage. . -
-
We learn from a passenger who came in
tho cars from Lancaster last evening, that
Cameron's infilmous blood-hounds, attacked
R. W. Middleton, Esq. the independent
editor of the Lancaster Examiner, while at
1 he Pulls, knocked him down, jumped upon
him and cut his face in the most horrible
manner, the flesh was cut nearly off both
sides of hislace, and left his cheek and jaw
bones dearly bare!
Three physicians were in attendance,
and fears were entertained for his safety.
STOPPING THE MAlLS.—Thurvday morn
ing the mails from Philadelphia westward,
were stopped at the Collector's office, at the
corner of Broad and Callowhill streets, un
der the following circumstances. Mr. Silas
Moore, who has the contract from the U.
States for carrying the mail on this route,
contracted with the Canal Commissioners
to carry it on the State works for one hun
dred and fifty dollars per mile, which has
been done until yesterday morning, when
it was stopped as before mentioned. The
Canal Commissioners for some reasoe, have
directed the State Collector, Mr. A. B.
Cummings, to demand the payment for the
transportation of the mails in specie, which
Mr. Moore not finding convenient, or not
being willing to be subjected to, refused and
payment was not made until the sum amoun
ted to over seven thousand dollars. 011 the
2d day of August, Mr. Jacob Duck, general
agent for the western lines, commenced
making weekly payments of the tolls in
specie, for Mr. Moore, which he continued
to do until yesterday morning. About the
ninth day of August, Mr. Duck received a
line from the State Collector that unless the
whole arrears of tolls were paid in specie by
the twenty-eighth day of October, the mails
on tha day would be stopped. Mr. Duck
communicated this to Mr. Moore, who had
previously tendered thp amount due, in the
common currency of the country, which
was refused by the collector. Yesterday
morning th• mails were put into the ear as
usual, and sent to the collectors office, when
the car was stopped and not permitted to
proceed until the mails were taken out,
which was done by Mr. Duck, and sent
back to the Post Office, where they remain
ed until 12 o'clock last night. Mr. Moore
having anticipated this. had provided a line
of coaches and horses for carrying the mail
over the turnpike, which will be continued
until some further arrangement is made.-- .

of two hundred and feurteen Gales of cotton
and a quantity alive-oak. ,-The loss of the
boat is ascribed to her unseaworthy condi

censure or blame whatever for the accident.
All the cotton was saved.
THE NORTH EASTERN. BOUNDARY.--A
Correspondent of the Boston Mercantile
Journal, writing from Bangor on Wednes
day last, says:
•ITwo of the young men who accompa-
nied the Boundary Commissioners, have
arrived in this city. I am informed that
the whole ground has been carefully exam .
ivied, and that the Commigsioners are on
their return. Their report will probably
come to us by the way of Washington; and
until we get it, we must put up with such
information as may casually fall from those
connected with the expedition. .
I am informed that there is not a doubt
upon the minds of the Commissioners, that
the line claimed by the Americans is the
true line; and that no person who makes
the examination with the intention of ascer
taining the truth, can arrive at any other
conclusion. This, I have no doubt, is cor.
rect and all we want to bring this imitating
question to a close; is energetic "and deter.
mined action on the part of the government.

LOOK OUT FOR FIRES AT WASHINGTON.
—A friend writing us from Cincinati, closes
hie letter as follows:
"All doubts of the election of Gen. HAn•
ursorr and the triumph of Whig principles
are now at an end. May we not look fora
greatfre or fires at Washington soon?—
!'he Treasury and Post °fee have been

Dynasty—is it not reasonable to anticipate
similar scenes "about thew days?"
If we were compelled to make a bet on
the subject, we would wager odds that both
will be partially burnt down before the 4th
March.—Cour. Enq.
