West, a citizen who had died a cousidemhle time previously. A "lu the eight division of the Fourth Ward, the list of taxable* was aot kept by the Inspectors. Mr. Matthieo, an Inspec tor. was examined and teatificd that the Judge, John MeGonigal, took the. book at the opening of the poll and kept it by Mr. .McMullm's directions, while he, the In spector, received the votes. Of course, no legal evidence can be derived therefrom. "Votes were here also received froqi per sons not on the list without their being sworn as to residence: and, says the witness, Matt him, the Judge,in some instances said the name was on the list, and when I looked could not find it. Mot wore than eight or nine proved their residence during the day. "At this poll also occurred a transaction, which, If truly stated, ought to cover all parties concerned with enduring shame.— A more outrageous attack on the purity of the ballot-box could not be conceived. D. M. Matlhicu, the same Inspector, testifies that upon a difficulty having arisen within the room, as to the reception of the vote of o mau who gave the name of Patrick Mcr Quaid, an individual who was at the window outside called to Poran, the other luspecto", to put the ticket in the box. B said to the witness, 'IF you don't put that ticket into the box, I'll kuock yodr head off.' After which he ran into the house and jumped over the partition which enclosed the elec tion officers, oud on the table among tho books and papers, one foot being on the Assessors' list. lie threatened Mattijieu several times, shook his fist at bim, and said he would fix him before he left the polls.— After he had been in a few uiiuutes, ouo of ihe clerks walked up and pushed the ticket into the box. The intruder then got down from the tablo and walked nut of the door. Among honest men,such a transaction could not have been permitted to pass unnoticed, Mtid Inspectors who thus guard the ballot boxes cannot expect that their 'sworn re turns' wilt recrive My wxuideration from a judicial tribunal. "The only witness called to rebut this testimony was Patrick McQaaid, the party whose offer to vote caused the dispute. He says that he handed in his ticket, they looked to sec if bis name was on the book, and then took his vote. That was all that was done, and upon cross examination he says: '1 did uot kuow who the Judge of the election was; I did not sec Pornan that 1 know.; a man inside took uiy ticket; 1 did'nt go away till he told me all was rjght; I was not challenged; not asked for a voucher; I saw McMulliu there; did uot seo him speak to at.y one inside.' "How far this testimony affects the evi dence of the Inspector (Matthieu) as to what occurred inside, may be a question, and we leave it with the single remark,that none of the other parties present were called to testify on the subject. "lu the Ninth Division of the SejoHd Ward, Mr. Costello, one of the Inspectors, says, the votes on this list (paper iu pcucil) were taken without examing the list of tax-J iillea, and as a reason, he says that the other Inspector put the ballots iu the box to fust that be had no time to examine it. He further said that tho kind of tiekot could be distinguished frotu tbe heading, ued upon being asked whether the particu lar bending on certain tickets was the cause of their being received so readily, decliittd tu leaned to the question. Ail tbo wit nesses coiueide iu suitiug that iu this Divi sion, numbers of voters, not upon the list of taxable*, were received without giving any residence or any proof whatever. Indeed, tho whole testimony shows that the election j wa3 here carried on in the most reckless manner —the sole oLject being apparently to get votes into tho ballot-box, regardless of their legality. A number (amounting to 15) of foreigners, Italians, chiefly "organ grinders,' or termed so, were at this poll* admitted to vote, uuder circumstances that give the strongest grouud 10 the suspiciou tlut these votes, by a combination between tin: Inspector aud one or two persons out side, were received, though known to lo illegal. Several witnesses testified that <liesc IUCU were brought up by Henry Mon agau, a judice officer, several at a time, and upeu their being challenged , Moiiagau would pull their papers (naturalization) oat of his pocket; that shore appeared to be no more than two or three papers for all; and that, as fast as the papers were given back, he put tiiem info his pocket, and again produc ed tbrm as tbo next came up. The atten tion ot Mr. t'ostello, the Inspector, was c died to this at the time , and upon his ex amination he say.-, : l can't say how many papers there vveic;' and iu reply to the question, 'Did not all tho 'organ-grinders' v.io upon two or three papers?* he said, •That question it Would not do for mo to answer.' '1 decline to answer it.' He fully eorroberatos tho other witnesses as to ilie agency of Monagun iu the mallei, mid that the papers used were returned to him. Hero neither oath nor proof was required in any case, with such testimony before us, what confidence can be placed in tbe docuu.ci£ls returned by those cleetiou offi cers. "No testimony was given to rebut or ex plain that given by the witnesses just re ferred 10. Au etlort was made to show that tfio 'organ-grinders' were residents iu lie division, and the witness said that he (being onr of them) had naturalization pa pers, hut the objection to tho admission of iheti votes, without proof of their being legal voters, is not thereby removed. "At the fifth division of the Seveutctmtli \Vr', the evidence shows the same open disregard on the part of the cleetiou offi cers of the duties required. Many votes were challenged, but admitted without question or proof. .Persons, apparently boys, ami proved since to have been aji prentiees, wore admitted to vote without a question being asked, ami one of the same kqs was permitted to vote twice wilhin a ebort interval. 'Mr. Douagliue,' says Gar diner, a witness, 'would have acted fairly if tbey had lot hint, tbey swoic at him.— iSomc one outside began to answer for O'Neil, (a voter); '1 said, lot hiui an swer for himself. Mr. Poiiaghue then questioned hiui, and the Juage swore at Itunahue to know what he was doing. Mr. asked O'Neill if ha was a citizen, he said not ■ asked hiui if bis father was a citizen? he &ud he was not. Tbey had a 1 ;.tla angling inside about it, finally Mr. "J Aninoy, the inspector, took the vote and j ■ it into the box. The evidence iu regard f L.C admissiou of O'Neill's vote is eorro iraied by himself who in hts testimony ads that be was druuk. The testimony of I Abram Sell fully corroberates the statements of Gardiner, as to tbo manner of conduct ing the election in this division, and no op posing testimony has been produced to call the correctness of bis evidence in question." —Such is a judicial expose of a siusll fraction of tire couccrted and paid for fraud* which made Jatues Buchanan President of tho United States.—A*.

A DI N !—We would like some of our delinquent sub*cribcrs a to call and settle at once. We have not been getting money euough for the last three months to pay for our paper alone. This is iutended for you, reader, if you owe us a dollar for subscrip tion, advertising, or job work. Extravagance! The manner in which the affairs of this Borough have becu conducted for the last few mouths is an outrage on the taxpayers, who are already overburdened with a high Locofoco State and County tax. They have been laboring on the streets, and ex pending large sums of money to no pur pose. One" instance of this kind wo will here name. Several weeks ago, they en gaged several teams and had quite a num ber of bunds cmplo'yed in hauling and spreading yellow mud all o\or Juliana Street. A second time, at heavy expense, they spread fine gravel from the hill—the Council was informed that the street, in consequence, would be a perfect nuisance, almost impassable, on account of the mud and dust, but they would not listen to the advice or the complaints of citizons living on the Street. The result was as foretold, a continual cloud of thick and almost im penetrable dust, und dust on the street an kle deep. They were consequently compel led to tinker at the street again for the third time, and they have for several days had five horses and carts, and some six or eight persons employed in hauling aud spreading gravel Ire 111 the creek, which thev ought to have doue in the first place, thereby saving to the Borough a large amount of money. Our taxes, for Bor ough purposes, are enormous, and tbo man ner in which the hard taxes wrung from our people have been expended and squandered is a gross outrage. Large sums hare been misapplied, aud tuis-spent as in this case. Streets have been repaired, and after they were done with tlicni, tbey wcro iu a worse condition than tbey were at first. We hope .our citizens will look to their own inter ests hereafter, and hurl from their plaee g these Ijocofocos who have no regard for their interests. We may return to this sub ject again.

You will please give us oatagorical an swers to the following interrogatories which embrace the principles of the American par ty, to which your atteution is desired: 1. Po you hold that in the election or appointment of all officers, native boru Americans should be preferred? 2. Are you in favor of protection of American labor, American rights and Amer ican interests? 8. Are you in favor of the purification of the ballot box, a reform in the naturalisa tion laws, the enactment of the registry law, and the prohibition of foreign paupers and convicts lauding upon oar shores? 4. Are you opposed to any interference of Church Hierarchies in politics? 4. Are you in favor of Free Schools for the education of all classes, with the Bibie as a text book used therein? With great respect, We remain Your bumble servants, JOHN BROTHERLINE, Chairman. REPLY. TOWANDA, July 10th, 1857. ' Gentlemen:— Your letter of sth May came to hand during the sitting of my Courts, 1 immediately on the close of which 1 left home, and returned only a few days since. This must be my apology for not earlier having responded to your communication. lam requested to answer certain inter rogatories propounded to me in pursuance of a resolution of the late convention held at Altooua. The history of our State establishes a wise aud safe policy in respect to the point embraced in your first interrogatory. It will be found rare indeed, that any except native born citizens, have held high official station either in Executive or Judicial de partments of our State Government; and tiie same class, with comparatively few excep tions, have filled the scats of our Legisla tive Halls. The naturalized citizen canuot reasonably complain that this traditional policy should be preserved. There is no thing in it, intolerant or proscriptive; nor would the enlightened and patriotic citizen ot foreign birth so regard it. It imposes no legal disqualification. It takes from him no right. Official station of right belongs to no man. While I would adhere to this policy as one of wisdom and patriotism, uo American who properly appreciates his re sponsibiliaies, would neglect au inquiry in to the character aud fitness of candidates presented tor his suffrage; nor could be without betrayal of the best interests of his country, disregard the claims of princi ple involved in his choice. Thus occasions may arise, when an cnlighteucd and faithful discharge of duty, would deuiaud our suf frages for the naturalized eitizen t in prefer ence to one born on our soil. Understand ing tho spirit of your first proposition as not iucousistent with tho views here ex pressed, I yield it uiy cordial assent. Are you is iu favor of tho protection of American labor, American rights, uud American interests? To this, your second interrogatory, I shall content myself with a simple affirmative auswer. The matters embraced in your third in terrogatory are of the first importance, and demand the most serious consideration of the patriot and statesman. The boldness and success with which frauds ure perpe trated upou the Ballot Box, have become alarming, and unless promptly aud effectu ally checked, must end in the subversion of uur system of Eree Government. The forms of liberty may remain, but only as a cheat aud mockery, glossing over as cruel a despotism as ever cursed a people. 1 would sustain with my whole strength any and every measure wisely devised, to preserve the puri'yof onr popular elections. Wilful fraud upou the Ballot Box. is tuoral treason against Bcpublicau Governmout; and all duly coDvicted of boing concerned therein, iu addition to other penalties, should be forever disqualified from holding office or exercising the elective franchise. Doubtless our naturalization laws could be so amended as to aid in sc-cuting purity and fairness iu our elections; but we should not weaken our State sovereignty, by look iug to the general Government as the great source of reform in this matter. It bclougs exclusively States to regulate this whole question of suffrage—to prescribe the qualifications of electors—to provide safe guards against frauds, and inflict punish- meut for assaults upon the integrity of the ballot box. Our own State cannot too early or vigorously exert its onu-.titutional power iu respect to these inatteis —vital as they are, to liberty and existence of free govern ment. It has ever been a source of just pride to the true American, that his country opened an asylum for the oppressed of every land. God forbid that we should be so ungrateful for his blessings, as to refuse to share thein with the honest, and industrious of whatever clime or country; but it is an outrage upon our hospitality, and a violation of interna tional law, for the governments of the old world to ship cargoes of criminals ar.d pau pers on our shores. Our government can not be too vigilant iu guarding our rights iu this respect. To your fourth interrogatory I answer: that 1 am opposed to the interference of Hierarchies in politics. The office of a christian minister is second to no other in dignity and responsibility. I would not detract from his fuuetion, or impair the re spect due to his character. I acknowledge his right, and as a teacher of the people, 1 believe it to be his duty to speak openly and fearlessly against social and political evils, destructive of public morals, and at war with the interests and happiness of maqkiud. In thus publicly speaking, if he transcends the proprieties of his place and office, a safe corrective is found in the cen sure of au culightened public. But a Priestly Otdor, iuvested by the Laity with a mysterious sacerdotal character—with pretentions to extraordinary spiritual power —hound together by strong ties, and ac knowledging as their head a foreign Poten tate—tbat such an Order should enter the field of politics, control our elections anil influence the policy of our government, is surely cause for alarm, and should awakeD the jealous vigilance of the American peo ple. It will probably be denied that any such hierarcbial influence is brought to bear in oar elections. We should judge with candor, and not condemn without proof. We see the American people divided on a momentous issue. The principles of hu man freedom or bondage are brought iu di rect conflict. Man's inalienable right to life and liberty is denied. The doctrine is openly asserted by those who hold the gov ernment in their hands, that God created the mass of mankind to he slaves. In the hear of this great struggle we sec the stron gest ties severed—the ancient political par ties of the country broken, and men of every nation and faith divided, save one.— The votaries of one church alone arc united in jiolitLal actieD. This unity in the midst of otherwise universal division, is tiuly most remarkable. From Maine to Texas— from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean—iu every eity, town and hamlet—under what ever circumstances placed, or by whatever influences surrounded, we find the votaiies ot this church arrayed in politioa! notion on the side of slavery. This cannot arise from au intelligent assent to the principles of slavery; because those principles would reduce niucty-uiue out of every hundred of these nieu to the condition of slaves.— Whence are we to look for the cause of this uuity among so many hundred* of thousands scattered over so wide a surface! We fiud the votaries of the Catholic church as u class, among the least enlightened of our , population, and thus in a condition to yield u ready obedience iu all things, to an au thority which they have boeu taught to re sjKict as of God's appointment. The church ot their faith advances high and extraordi nary claims. It is the only true Apostolic aud Catholic church. It is infallible in doctrine—miricles continue to be wrought within its holy cuiumuuion—its head is the vicegerent of God ou earth, and successor to the Apostle to w .oiu was entrusted the keys of Heaven. It is a puiu Hierarchy, ine ijaity have little or no power, all au thority bemg concentrated in the Priesthood. Again 1 ask, whence this unity in political action, among the votaries of this church, whou every other denomination ot Christians is divided? In seeking for an answer to this inquiry, all men wiil look to tbo source where the power resides. When the vota ries of the church of Rome, shall oxhibit in our political contests, the like diversity of views aud action, that is seen among all other classes of our people, then and not till then, will the public mind bo relieved Iroui the suspicion, that hicrachal influences are mischievously at work in our polities. It is idle to evade the point by labored efforts iu defence of religious freedom and the rights of conscience. No assault is made upon either. Tho largest liberty— the broadest toleration, is conceded in mat ters of religious faith aud worship. The ground of complaint lies here—that a Hie rarchy,invested with a peculiar sanctity and powers in tho eyes of the Luity, should ex ert a spiritual influence to control our elec tions, and give to the policy of our Govern ment a direction, adverse to the wishes of a majority of tho people, not within tho sphere of such intlucuce. No intelligent man will question the fact, that the late Presidential election was controlled by the united Catholic vote. If the adherents of that church had been divided iu their votes, as were all the Protestant aocts of our country, tho present administration would never have had an existence. The Slave Power to-day, would not be master of our government —promulgating its abhoreut doctrines through our judicial tribunals— undermining tho sovreignty of the States, and boldly trampling down tho clearest constitutional rights of the eitizeu. It is also apparent to every intelligent observer, that the same unity in the Cath olic vote is relied upon as the maiu support of our opponents in the coming State elec tion. \V ltb these nndeniable facts before us, can it be said that there is DO ground for the strong conviction in the uiinds of the American people, that hicrarchal influ ences not only interfere in our polities, bat j actually control our elections? If tho i Protestaut sects of our country presented the same unanimity in oppsition to the pro slavery Democracy that the Catholic church docs iu its support, our opponents would not bo slow or measured in their denuncia tion. Indeed, tho chiefs and press of that party, assail with gross vituperation such Protestaut Christian ministers as openly in tho face of day, denouuee from tho sacred , desk the crimes of slavery, and insist upon 1 the sanctity of the marital and parental relations. Iu theui, it is a grievous offenee, , to proclaim, in connection with slavery, tho , great essential truths of Christianity—that, God is the Creator uud Father of all men— ' tbat lie made of one flesh all the nations of the earth—that He is no respectorof per sons, but holds in equal love all his child ren; and that He will rcqnire of every oue the observance of his righteous law- "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do oven ao to them." This alli ance between an ancient and powerful Church, and the slave interest of America is the more remarkable, when we consider the fact, that the early and autboritive teachings of that Church arc in condemna tion of slavery. How long this strange alliance is to continue I know not—how long it is to be successful is for the Amer ican people to decide. To your fifth interrogatory I answer— that 1 am in favor of free schools for the education of all classes: and am opposed to any exclusion of the Bible therefrom. Respectfully yours, I>. WJL.MOT.

The application of the friends ot Packer for au injunction to prevent the sale of the Main Lino, Ins resulted in a loss to the State of a million and a half of dollars.— The Lancaster Inttlliirencer, the home or gan of Mr. Buchanan, acknowledges this promptly in the following paragraph :—Re ferring to the salo, it says : "We do not wonder chat 'cheers' were given with a hearty good will by those in terested iu the Pennsylvania railroad.— They have made a capita! speculation for the Stale—better indeed, than if they had bought UDdcr the hill before the action of the Supreme Court was had upon it. They now get it for seven and a half millions of dollars, whereas, then it would have cost them NINE MILMOX?. 'Tis true, under their present purchase the tonnage tax is not taken off—but that is of small moment, iuasumch as they will doubtless be able to get a Legislature iu a year or two, pliable enough to repeal the tax; and when once it is taken off, no subsequent legislation can be got to restore it.

MTSTERIOTS DISEASE.—The "National Hotel disease" has suddenly made its ap pearance in the capital of Russia. A letter from Bt. Petersburg, Juno 15th, in the In dependence, of lirusscls, says : "Several families have during tho tast few days, been thrown into mourning in a very melancholy and distressing manner. After a dinner which took place at the In. stitution of St. Catherine, a large education al establishment for the daughters of the nobilty, under the patronage of the Empress a number of young persous who were pre sent on the occasion were taken suddenly ill. Five of them died within four aod twenty hours, and yesterday thejtixth was iu the greatest danger. The Couotess de Morny, who had been educated at St. Cath erine, was present at the dinner, and has since been seriously indisposed.

It will be seen that he has numerous cer tificates from persons of tho highest char acter, to tho merits of bis Restorative.

Among his ef fects were found the letters of Miss Smithy one of which had urged him lo a private meeting a few hours previously. An exam ination of the body developed ahuudanl traces of arsenic. Miss Smith is proved to have purchased arsenic, and openly admits tho fact, as she used it for licr complexion. She bought it in company with souie friends, and unhesi tatingly affixed her name to the register of the chemists, win were told by her that it was to poison rats. After her intimacy and correspondence with the Frenchman, her family arranged a match for her with a per sons in a much better position.

This indeed "lie had ultimately threatened. Miss Smith vainly implore him to return her letters.— She then renewed her expression of affection, and iuvited him to meet ber. The allcga. tion is that this was a snare to enable her to destroy him. She is charged with having administered arsenic to him in chocolate or coffee.
