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

I Abram Sell fully corroberates the statements
of Gardiner, as to tbo manner of conduct

A DI N !—We would like some of our

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

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.

WHAT THE fIuiJE B Y IT.
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. We, therefore, con
sider that the Pennsylvania railroad has

turns out that the railroad company has

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. The Em
peror afterward visitedjtho establishment,
and ordered a most searching investigation
to be instituted: but uothing has yet been
discovered to throw light on the subject."
D7*lVe cannot refrain from calling the
attention of oar readers'to an advertisement
in this day's paper of the "Hair Restorative"
of Prof. O. J. Wood & Co., of St. Louis.
It will be seen that he has numerous cer
tificates from persons of tho highest char
acter, to tho merits of bis Restorative. From
positive knowledge we are also enable to
say, that it it is iu every souse what it pro
fesses to be, and we do not hesitate to pro
nounce it the finest preparation for the head
and hair which has so far bceu divised by hu- i
man ingenuity. We have seen it arrest
threatened baldness, and restore to the head
its original profusion of uatujal and glossy
hair, and when the latter has bcon prema
turely tinged with gray, wo have seen it,
like rnagio, restore the colors of youth und
health, The distinguised property of this,
we might truly say, miraculous "Restora
tive," is that it gives to the persons who
use it,the same bead of hair that they wore
iu youth, thus acting in strict compliance
with the rules of tho first and greatest of
all rt>ilet makers—Nature. No one who
has used it will hesitate to unite with us in
this testimony to its peculiar merit—[Cov

It now appears that after soiue of their la
test meetings the young man was frequent
ly attacked with agonizing symptoms, which
at lust resulted iu death. 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. Sho ac
cepted this new offer, but the Frenchman
was of an impulsive and dangorous disposi
nion, and would be likely to expose her when
Hie affair lecamc known to bim. 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. A multitude of witnesses, medical
and others, will be called—Bo for the
prosecution alone—of whom only 35 have
as yet been examined.
SCARLET FEVER AND SMALL POX.—
Dr. William Fields, of Wilmington, Dela
ware, gives publicity to tlic following re
ceipt, which, he says, if faithfully carried
out, will cure forty-five cases out of fifty,
without calling on a physician:
Scarlet Fever. —For adults, give one tr
ble-spoouful of good brewer's yeast in three
table-spoonsful of sweetened water, three
titnes a day; and if the throat is much swol
len, gargle with yeast, and apply to the
throat as a poultice, mixed with Indian
meal. Use plenty of catnip tea,to keep the
eruptions out of the skin, for several days.
Smallpox. —Use the above doses of yeast
three times a day, and a milk diet through
out the entire disease. Nearly every case
can be cured, without leaving a pock mark.
LIFE PRESERVED BY HOOPS.—A lady
residing in New York, was saved from the
bito of a tnad dog a few days since by a
hoop. While passing along Twelfth street
from Broadway the cry of "mad dog,' was
raised, and before she conld stop aside, a
huge bull-dog. with every mark of madness,
was upon bcr, and as is the custom witb
those animals,he attempted to bite andjsnup
while passing. Fortunately she wore a
large hoop, of which the dog took a mouth
ful and passed on and was shortly afterwards
killed.
A RMINGATIOX.— A Challenge.-- Judge
Wilinot has resigned his Judgeship and
challenged General Packer to meet him on
the rostrum, there to discuss before the peo
ple the various political topics of the day.
Let General Packer accept this challenge,
and our word for it, if he has the intelli
gence it is said he has, and the honesty
which a candidate for the Governorship
ought to have, he will admit that he has no
business to be a candidate at all in Penn
sylvania, but might make a very suitable
one in auother latitude. — Pklla. Sun.

young man by the name ot Martin, whilst
chopping wood in the South Mountain was

The bite was inflicted whilst the young man

len, but the young man is now recovering
from the eff cets of tho bite. About three
hours after a party captured the snake alive (

TUB SLRDELL MURDER.—Newspapers
evidently iu tho pay of the guilty, are, now
eudeavrriug to convey tho impression that
Dr Bnrdcll was not actually murdered, but
aoeidcutly fell iu a rencontre, in which ho
