Mr.. Birncy and the LOco-Fooos.
From the Detroit Daily Adv. Oct p, lSH.


The most strenuous efforts are making, a
home ard abroad, to misreprcsen., to mys,ify
and to be- little the nomination Of Mr. Birney fo
the Legislature, by the Loco. Foco party of Sag
nav county. Mr.. BIRNEY himself, without dar
ing to deny the material facts of his nomination
and Of his acceptance in advance, has yet la.
bored in his several letters with diplomatic astute-
ness and craft, to give color to these efforts
But some distant Loco Foco papers, feeling less
individual responsibility, and more daring and
reckless, boldly assert that the whole affair is a
Roorback forgery.'


| Thus the Albany Argus, the leading Loco
Foco organ of New York, puts forth the follow
ing piece of utter mendacity:

We pronounce the above paragraph false, ut.
terly false in every essential particular. We say
to Mr.. CRoswELL personally, that through igno,
rance or design, he has published to the world
an entire and wholesale fabrication, dsreputablc
to himself, and most unj ust TO others.

had any thing to do with 1t, directly or indi
rectly. We have seen many Of the leading
Wings Of Saginaw within e few days, including
the distinguished Wing Representative from thai
county in the last Legislature, and On their au.
thority, we make this emphatic declaration.


Mr.. BIRNEY was nominated at the regular Lo
.Foco convention. The delegates were duly
chosen from the several towns by Loco Foco
caucuses, in pursuance Of the cali OF the Loco

| ton that the other nominees withdrew their
Names is untrue. Williams sought to induce
them TO do it, but they refused! The proposed
mass meeting proved complete Jaiiue, not
more than dozen citizens of the county attend
ing it. A mock nomination was made for effect
abroad, but the new candidate we venture to say,
will not poll 25 votes. The mass Of the Saginaw
Democracy" still 90 for their regular nominee,

These are the facts Of tie case. We will
only add that wO are assured on good authority

leading Loco -Foeo organ m Michigan and the
State paper, suggested Mr.. BlRNEYs nomination

| NATURALIZATION AND ILLEGAL VorlNG.-In
one of the Wards of the city of Baltimore, at the
late el ction, it appears that large number o.
votes were poled above the aggregate OF ascer
teined votefs. The question arose where the



ii another paragraph, IN a manner which show:
the folly of our present naturalization laws.


We have the fact from a collector Of rents
who had occasion TO make frequent calls upon the
widow Of deceased foreigner, occupying small
tenement under his charge, and receive his rent ir
| small instalments. 4 Gay or two, however, after
the late election, he made her call, and was sur
prised TO find her fully prepared and honestly vii
ling 10 paw up all arrearcgcs. Upon nouiIng hon
| hocam. of fha he no
Piled with a complacent smile, perfectly uncon
scous, no doubt of the improperly OF the act. tha
she had loaned ost the paper of her de&r old mar
pace to has ashss-.tor dollar each time, 10
strenfeen persons, and By that names ras able Il
pay her rent.


Here it will be seen that the naturalz alton pa
pers OF one parson were used by ssrentetni and ir
this way natus:ized citizen may often dishonestl,
neutralize ;he votes OF dozen others Every
American citizen, whether native or naturalized
has right 10 vote once but the native has no pa
pers TO lend he cannot vote by proxy dozen lines
as others NAV and do" Christian Waichman.


INDUSTRIOUS FRAUDs.-It has been ascertaInec
that one OF the Committees OF Vigilance have de-
tected in n single Ward in tbs Northern Liberties
that Three Hundred and Fire votes were taken in
that Ward al the late election, not one Of the mer
| who gave which could be found IN The Ward te,
days after The election. Thus does Loco Focosn
make up its apparent strength. So TOO WAS il il
Baltimore. Farther Investigators will develoT
similar villanies AT the proper time the matter viii
be more particularly stated. By the way, we hsv,
no doubt whatever that proper scrutiny in III;
Fourth Cong sressional District would prove that Mr.
Charles J. lnger,oll is far from havirg received
plurality votes. While The Loco Fcco mansgeri
are working in this Infamous manner, they and thei
organs make q hypocrical ou,cry and call towr
meeting because the paltry sum OF one hundred dol
