We believe ai d trust, lor the honor of t e country as well as of the individuals implicated, that this will turn out to be the upshot of the whole matter. How it Stands. —We pul!ofa the documents relative to the charge of intsdijrenee with the New York election. From the mass ol testimony produced, the follow ing facts are abundantly prov ed : First. —That a limited number ot persons, not exceeding thirty-litre or to.iy., hit kite whole, went O a to New York prevkms to In‘election of 1838. Second—That their object jwas o prevent individuals from Philadelphia giving illegal votes. Third.—That thiaobject w.-.s Liotonuus, open jy spoken of. published in the newspapers ot the dav, and known by men of all j jirlies. Fourth.—That the individ jali—Andrew Mc- Clain and other*-—-who weot o;)u were selected because they had a genera. acquaintance w ith the votes of the city and county of Philadelphia; w ere therefore well Known, and vvot.lU be immediately recognized and delected if they bird attempted to vote.

Unparalleled Knavery and rOMt&FuR IV Much has been sa d about the last caid of the Locofoco?, and the people have been again and again cautioned against the expiring e.Farts of t i most corr upt sett of aice holders an i party leal ers that have ever disgraced any country. Bat i mu -i a? wc h; ve seen, heard and published on Ims subject, vre co.iiess that we -.cere in >rc dispose! to reuari it a? the fears of son? excited \S iig than to believe it possible that the leaiers of any parts coi!i l>e «o coit iDt and so de?nded as to att:m;t such a trick as the foilow.nr crrd dDe’ose?. We j rrgret it dirUnot reach us earlier, that we might hire been able to have sent it to every s?ctioi o. the state, in which event Georgia w raid have p.o nouncei for old Tip a majority of 1 15,000 | ; votes. The people of Georgia are too honest to J countenance such villainy, aui they wjui ; spam ! aav party tint would countenance such knavery. The article to which we allude reached tins city ! by Saturday night's mall, and purports to be an j extra of the Emancipator, aa abolition pap?r pab- Ibhed in New York. And that our readers, and the honest portion of the Van Buren party may see to what resorts the office holders are driven to sus tain this corrupt Administration iu power, wc pub hsh it just a? it came to us. People of Georgia, look upon this document, an I behold the reckless spirit of a desperate party, a faction sc desperate that they would foigeand pub lish letters purporting to he from Gen. Harrison, ! bv which he might be defamed in your estimation. It carries the lie upon its face in such deep and broil characters that every man of ordinary intel ligence is obliged to detect it at tue hr=t glance.— We will only point out a few of the interoa'; evi j dences which it furnishes of it- being a base sot- I First —You observe it bear; date the 18th of October, :.nd purports to be an extra of the Eman cipator. Well we have on our table regular fi.es of New York pipers, of soth parlies, up to the 2>th of October, and not one word is said on the subject in any one of these papers about such a letter from i General Harrison. Second —You observe the editorial comment says, that the editors recommend the taking up of General Harrison by the abolitionists, and yet at the head of this very column the name of James G. Birney, the abolition candidate, is still standing —Arthur Taopan. whose name is affixed | to this letter, is one of the Abolition Electors in New York. Fouilh —Ti e w Ballot Pox,” another abolition paper, of the 20lh October, iwo days after this ex tra of the Emancipator purports to have issued, had the Abolition Electors at the heal of its col umn, and nothing was said abaut t its extraor li nary letter of General Harriaon . Filth —If it was what it purports to be, and the editor of the Emancipator was desirous, in conse quence of it, to elect General Harrison—does any man in his senses suppose that he wuuid att-mpt to circulate thri letter at the South, among slave hoi ders. And lastly —It is in direct oppusition and contra diction of all the former expressed opinions and principles of Gen Harr,son, both to th? ajol.tion i i?ts and slave holders. And yet these bold and reckless scoundrels, who are trie authors of this I vile plot, have the unblushing effrontery to -end forth such a document to the American people just on the eve of the election, hoping thereby to re elect Marlin Fan Buren, and keep in power those who are capable of such foul and damn ng dishon esty. People of Georgia, if you deserve the name of American ciuzei s, if you are worthy to inherit the birthright of your fathers, you will rise up a? one man to put down this corrupt Administration.

ARTHUR TAPP AN, J. LE AVETT.* IT PREFER. CixcissiTi, Oct. 2, 1840. Giki’lKMen; — Your kind letter of the 2Lst. at. came d ly to kand. The sut jecl on which you address m* I Lok upon as one* of the great- ( importance to the people of this country, though I have generally refused to answer tae ruincrous queries addressed to me, generally from nv poiMicui enenaes. knowing they were intend t>J to injure me with the south. In my leller t however to JuJce Morris ot Mass, wau h lie had ihc Irerlv \o use in any way that Ik ibou^iu i * * proper. eccrrpt to pith fish. ! expressly state my view* on me abolition question. 1 tuexein *talo that I i ine an abolition society in Richmond at thecariy atre of eighteen—that I have seen no rues >u lo change mv views on tne subject s ncc. \nd 1 will now further sUto that 1 believe (.’on | g-e*s lias tall and complete power to legislate on all subjects relating tu the District ol Colum bia. and should use that power by aboltslnng sla very in the District. And although Congress, perhaps, has no power lo interfere with slavery in the several stales, yet so anxious am I to see this immense evii pul down, that I would willing ly sign a l>i 11, should one pass Congress, appro priating nil the surplus revenue for the purpose of purchasing the slaves, or tor indemnity ing lire states that should voluntarily abolish the system. The app opriating the surplus revenue lor ibis purpose is no new idea with tne. It is one t >»avc j long entertained, and have more than once so . expressed myself, aad I hope yet to live tu see so desirable an object accomplished, i \ou a r e aware gentlemen that this is a deli cate subject lor the peace of the south and what ever is done should be done with much caution. You probably have seen my letter to Mr. Lyons of Virginia. You will of course know' w hat kind of estimate to place upon that, written as it was to a southern man and a slave holder. I have refused, gentlemen, to make promises or pledges, to any great extent, during this canvass; but the great contest is so near at hand. I have no hesitation in deciding the above as my sincere sentiments, and Hope that you will find them to accord, at least in part, with your own. I am. gentlemen, very respectfully. Your obedient sen ant. W. H. HAKUI6Q-X. Arthur Tappav, J. LeaveTT, H. Du esse u. Correspondence cf ike National Intelligencer. New York, October 26. The Locolocj bomb has exploded, and its instru ments of destruction will overwhelm only Mr. Butler and his tools. Ti e current of indignation runs strongly against Mr. Butler. I would not now stand in his -hoes for all his princely income I carmot say that he is the contriver ot a plot to destroy Governor Seward, the Mayor of I hiladel pnia. Mr. Grinnoll, and others, lut he seems to 1 e for he admits a meeting with Glentworth,a closet ing w ith him at Hoyt’s house, a knowledge of Ste venson’* lans. See. Tne plot is recoiling terribly upon its p.ejectors, since the publication of the tes timony from Philadelphia —and the attempted meeting to-day of the Locofocos in the Park, with Mr. Butler at their head, was so signal a failure that they went into Tammany Hall, and wnat of a meeting there was, was there. The excitement is about blown over, except what i> directed against the contrivers of ti e scheme. Mr. Grinned has taken the most effective me .*ures at the Last to vindicate his reputation, as he is charged there wi’h having absconded, and in the evening papers to-d -y there is a powerful ajpoal from him to his constituents. I have not till this time believed that the Whigs Lai the )ea*t chance of earning this city, but l y putting Grinnell’s name on the ticket, and taking advantage of the reaction, they are now in a stiong p »si!ian, and there is a salutary exci ement among l.rinueli’s mercantile friends that will powerfully aid the whole Whig party. In the, 4th ward of lids city, on Saturday nig t, 70 Locofocos and 3 W .igs were struck ors the Registry as illegal votcis, by the authority, too, of the Locofoco Commissioners of Registry. 'J he like is the fact in other ward*. This shows who have the illegal vote?. New York, October 27, IS4O. There is a torrent of politics, and nothing el-c, in the city j :st now. The extraordinary doings in what the Recorder of tire city cads a Court of Ii - quiry are degener ting into a farce. The Recoidcr is a high party man of the Locofoco school ; the District Attorney is ditto. Last evening their court was a scene of riot and row. Some time ago, the Mayor, Recorder, and District Attorney, at night, went to the house of a Mr Pierce, a Locofoco, wah whom some of Gientworth’s papers were lodged, which papers they seized and canicd olf; Pierce, in all probability assenting. Glentworth's counsel protested against this seizure of his papers, and the protest having been considered, the Recorder last evening decided that he had a tight to open tire papers, which Pierce had put unde; seal. Glent worth requested to look at tire papers, (all this in court,) and when they were in his hands, he seized them as his property; whereupon a scuffle ensued, the Recorder struggling to gel back the papers, Glentworth to keep them, and others soon inter fering, the squabble became general, though the Mayor cried out peace and order. Older was at last restored, many coats being torn though, and some hurt a little, when the Recorder p’edged him self as a magistrate, as a man of honor, to produce the papers before the Judge of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, (Edwards) who should be called up on to decide on a writ of replevin that Glentworth had got out for his papers, and under which, during the scuffle, the Sheri-T was present, participating in it, and claiming the papers under the writ. This morning the Recorder Morris) met Judge Edwards in chamber, according to his pledge, and keeping Glentworlh’s papers under his arm, pro tected 1 y his overcoat, refused to produce them any further; and Judge Edwards inquiring what the parties wanted of him, and being told, replied, that this writ of replevin was a matter with which he tad nothing lo do, whereupon the Recorder ad journed to another building, and co tirnenced taking more depositions. The conspiracy of the Federal office holder’s to involve the leading Whigs of New VorK and Phil adelphia in a violation of the elective franchise appears more extensive the more we hear from a distance. The East and the North have been flooded with extras The story of Gov. Reward’s and of Mr. GrinnelFs having run away, is flying all over New England, But a reaction is com -1 nvr-ncing. and has commenced, on which, if I do rot ; misj-uJge, the Whigs will profit from it It was a mistake in Messrs. Ho\; and BuLer to stir u such ; an excitement in this city. The citv was theirs by a large majority a week ago, but if the Whigs hc;e, the Whig merchants especially, now work as in 1534, and the excitement seems as great, then the city i? no longer Loco oco. The Whigs held an immense meeting last night in Masonic Hall. Their activity and energy are reawakened by what they be.ive to be a conspiracy of the office-holders, even by the subornation of perinry f> r ir -omc of their most eminent men.

Capt. ,Brown and one of the crew succeeded in getting hold of a few planks from the quarter deck, on which they held until nearly sundown, and on approaching the shore. ; jhe seaman was drowned.

Presentment by the Grand Jury.—The Grand Jury, who have had before them for some days the subje t «t the A iturahzation frauds, lately discovered lo h vebecn perpetrated in some of our courts, made a presentment yesterday, which implicates the Clerk ot the Criminal Ses sions. It is rue lo the punlic. that the matter should be fully and th trough ly investigated, and the gudtv, whoever they are, b*rog‘it to justice. In loss this is done iho purify of tire ballot box can be no longer relied on, and our elections will ; be little belter than a solemn mockery.— PhiLid, C. .S’. GuztHe. From the East n Daily Adve User. Maine Election.—The Governor and Coun cil of Maine have counted and declared the vote in Main-* for members of Congress, given at the time of the late Governor’s election. The whole number of Whig voles given in the tflate. inclu- Jmgthirty scattering, was 15.347. the whole num ber of Van Boren votes, including Lowell and Wheeler in the Washington district, Hamblin and Ingalls in the P> nobscot distrirt, Litilefield and Paris in the Oxford dislri t, together with 198 scattering, is 45 1 10. making a Whig major ity of 237 ; and a n> t Whig gain of 6,734 votes, compared with the election of 1839. This as fords i strong presunq tion that the returns in the Wing papers, showing that Gov. Kent is cle rod. are corrrect. But if this he not proved, it shows conclusively a majority of Whig voters in the Congressaioual election over the whole Van L!u ren vou :s and that the m .j rity of \\ lug voter*, with at least an equal prospect of increase with the other side, can carry tne Whig electoral tick et. The supporters of 4 an Buren seem to be as tounded at the rapidity w ith which his popularity is declining. If, however, they would consider that all the popularity be ever had. was boiTowed from Ins “illustrious pred. tessor,’’ their wonder would cease. The doctrine *♦! their party is that “ those who trade ou borrowed capital deserve to break,’’ ai.d it seems the people have sanctioned that political tenet, by resolving to repudiate the man whose lute popularity was all borrowed.

An express from Dr. Craik announced that there was no imiger hope, when Washington attended by a single officer. and a groom, left tbe head-quarters at midnight, and rode w.lh al! speto i for Ehham.
