Astounding- Developments! FISAU as* X< > B 2 E I'EBPBTUiVTED «J> •s'ihsn coi .M v r Freemen! SI and lb Your Bights, anil Guard the Ballot-Box froth Pollution! Citizens of Jasper county, we know what we say, and wi IE be able to prove it, should the infamous scheme bo carried into effect, that it is the intention of wire-workers throughout the State to defeat Colfax by frauds-, and they confidently extect to do it! They know that- Colfax will get every vote cast -for him two years ago. and gain largely on thalt vote, so they resort to frauds to defeat him-, I’art of the programme is this: One thousund imported voters are to bo placed on the Pittsburg and Chicago Railroad, scattered through La porto, Porter and Lake counties, and three hundred ditchers are to be run into Pulaski and Jasper counties. The following are the figures they expect to make: Laporte, 250 majority, for Walker; Portir, 50,0 for-Walker; Lake, 300 for Colfax; they dare not cut down his majority more than 400 in Lake, for the frauds would be too glaring; Pulaski is to gain 100 for Walker, and Jasper to hold her own at all events, A citizen of Rensselaer has written a letter to Indianapolis for one hundred and fifty ditchers, to he placed at work on swamp land ditclies in this county before the election! The letter will be forthcoming at the proper time. The first installment of ditchers got off (they cars at Mcdaryville a few days ago; but they went on a spree, some got sick, andj they all went back home again. Citizens of Jasper and Pulaski! if these contemplated frauds are attempted to be carried into effect, PROTECT THE BALLOT-BOX, AT ALL HAZARDS! Your fathers blcli an-d died- for your liberties, and yo would be worse than slaves to permit these fraud;;. USE THE SAME ARGUMENT US.ED ax urMtia-; rirjs.a, : If necessary; and the author of that letter must not be forgotten!
