GREATEST SENSATION IN AMERICAN POLITICS. J'rom The Bangor Whig and Courier (Sep.)

Undoubtedly the greatest sensation that has been known in American politics was produced by Thh New-Yobk Tribunk, in its detailed publication and exposure of the secret correspondence between Tilden, at Gramercy Park, and Manton Marble, Woolley and other of his agents at Tallahassee, fee the deliberate bribery of a member of the Canvass* ing Board to give the electoral vote To the great apostle of “ Reform 1” The dispatches are given in their order, and with absolute proof of the correctness of translation, occupying nearly two pages of i'UK Tribunk, and throwing a damning light upon the villany engineered by the Democratic candidate for President of the United States at the time when he was claiming credit for a dignified silence and reserve.
