Every intelligent man in the county knows that the charge of "importing votes" is false, and that if there was any swindling done on the day of tho election, it was by the Know-Nothing's themselves. We can prove by the best authority that one of their many plans to defeat us was the destroying of our tickets.—

The author of the sqib wants us to understand that at the next election wo shall not be allowed the privilege of casting our ballots. We can put no other construction upon the threat. If that is the resolution they have come to of course they will be fully prepared, armed wc suppose, with brass-knuckles, bowie-knives, revolvers, slung-shot &c.

Quite a discussion has been going on as to thc comparative merits of the Abolition Know-Nothing speakers. Some arcdecidly for osborn—others for Judge Peter Smith. We have heard both, but for our Jifo we cannot determine between them.— Both have their peculiar and striking points. In pure native eloquence Smith is superior, but osborn surpasses in calm dignity.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED. The Journal of Jast week tells its readers that over fire hundred foreign votes were cast at tfce late election, and lhat they (the Know Nothings) polled a heavier vote than in the fall of 1854.

What we ask, are the people of Montgomery county to think, of a man who claims to be a Christian, and who is we believe at the present time a member of the New School Presbyterian Church, that can thus willfully, and knowingly attempt to deceive them? Will they not brand him as a liar? Most assuredly they will. But what about the five hundred foreigners?

THE JOLLIFICATION!

On last Thursday night the Democrats had an exceedingly good time. The occasion was a jollification over our victory. It was well gotten up, and all present seemed to be exceedingly merry. The procession was formed at the Store of John Burk Esq., where a large quantity cf hickory bark had been deposited for the torches. The procession was exceedingly large, and after a triumphant march of an hour's duration, all repaired to the Court House where the assembled Democracy were addressed by Messrs. Voorhees and Hanna. The most perfect enthusiam prevailed throughout the whole evening. The Court House was packed to overflowing, and among the listeners we noticed a goodly number of the fair. "Sam's" will was read, and produced great sensation. The poor villain had an angry and troubled life of it, and we were only surprised that after so many trials, so many reverses and so many hardships, he was found in his last hours to be of sound and disposing memory. But his will evinced that though defeated and discomfited, he still had a tender regard for those who had sacrificed themselves on the altar of his ambition. Poor Wilson and Doherty and Pilcher and Horner, were cach left a tender legacy. We hope there will be none to interfere with this last will and testament—it is all these poor fellows will ever get in all probability. Below we give "Sam's" dying lament. It is a very touching affair, and we hope our render will read it over with that solemnity and respect, which its tender sentiment demands. The

poet is unknown—we have no criticism to offer, further than perhaps he is a little too personal. But here it is.

illustration, we give be-

letter from thc astute civilian, stafes-

man and patriot, who not long ago u-j.re-sented Massachusetts in the United States1 Senate. It is worthy of a careful perusal, and is powerfully suggestive of thc future. His last sentiment is worthy to be written in gold:

LETTER FROM RUFUS CHOATE. BOSTON*, 1st. October, 1855. Messrs. Peter Butler, Jr., and Bradley X. Cumings, Secretaries it-c. &c.

GENTLEMEN I discover that my engage-! raents will not allow me to attend the Convention to be holden at Worcester to-mor-row, and I hope that it is not to 1.'.(» so fill the vacancy. ,,

I assure the Whigs of Boston ti. I" should have regarded it as a duty and a privilege if it had been practicable, to serve as one of their delegates. The business which thc Convention meet to do gives it extraordinary attraction as well as importance

Whether we are dead, as reported in the newspapers, or, if not, whether wo shall fall upon our own swords and die even so, will be a debate possessing the interest of novelty at least. For one, I deny tho death, and object to the suicide, and should be glad to witness the indignation and laughter with which such a question will be taken.

If there shall be in that assembly any man, who, still a Whig, or having been such, now proposes to dissolve thc party, let him be fully heard and courteously answered upon his reasons. Let him dcclaro whatparty he shall join. Neutrality in any sharp civil dissension is cowardly, immoral and disreputable. To whatparty then does lie recommend us? I take it for granted it will not be to the Democratic I take it for granted, also, not the American. To what other then? To that of fusion, certainly— to the Republican, so called, I suppose, because it is organized upon a doctrine, and aims at ends, and appeals to feelings, on which one half of the republic, by a geographical line, is irreconcilably opposed to the other. Even to lhat party.

imagine.

Suppressing entirely all that natural indignation and sense of wounded pride and grief which might be permitted in view of such a proposition to Whigs who remember their history—the names of tho good and wise men of the living and dead, that have illustrated their connection, and served their country through it—who remember their grand and large creed of Union— the Constitution—peace with honor—nnlionality—the development and culture of all sources of material growth—the education of the people—the industry of thc people—suppressing the emotions which Whigs, remembering this creed and the fruits it has borne, and may yet bear, might well feel towards the tempter nnd the temptation, the answer lo all the arguments for going into fusion is at hand. It is useless totally for all thc objects of the fusionists, assuming them to be honest and constitutional—useless and prejudicial to those objects and j^is fraught moreover with great evil.

What are the objects of the fusionists?— To restore the violated compromise, or if he cannot effect that, to secure the inhabitant. bona fide such, of the new territory, tho unforced choice of the domestic institutions which he preferred, a choice certain in the circumstances of that country now or Boon to close it against slavery forever. These, unless he courts a general disturbance and the revelry of civil "battle-fields," are his objects and when he shall prove that fusion will send to Congress men who will labor with more zeal and more effect to thoso ends than such Whigs as Mr. Walley is, or Mr. Rockwell was, with a truer devotion to liberty—more obedient to the general sentiment and the specific exactions of the free States—with a better chance to touch tho reason and heart, and win the co-operation of good men in ail sections—when ho proves this, you may believe him. Wo know that the Whig representatives of Massachusetts in Congress do and must completely express the anti-slavery sentiment of Massachusetts, so far as they may be expressed under the Constitution. Moro than this we do not seek to express while there is yet a Constitution. Fusion is needless for the honest objects of the fusionist.

But the evils of disbanding such a part as ours and substituting such a party as that See what it fails to do. Here ia a new and great political party, which is to govern, if it can, the State of Massachusetts, and to govern, if it can, thc American Union. And what are its politics? It has none.
