Another Political Fraud detected.

These, these are Democratic Tricks,
Whose Maxim pure at nothing sticks.

The demos in Rensselaer county, consciously aware that their favorite candidate would not be mounted on his darling Hobby Horse, by the spontaneous suffrages of the electors, have as usual, and as might have been expected, resorted to trick. Under a pretence of supporting three of the federal candidates, viz. James M'Kown Jacob A. Fort and John W. Schermerhorn, they have with much adroitness circulated their ticket, with the names of those gentlemen as follows: James M'Gowan, John Schermerborn, Jacob Fort, by which artifice, on canvassing the votes, they expect that those given for the three last names will be lost; and that by the three candidates, which the electors in reality believed they were voting for, losing the votes thus fraudulently purloined from them, Woodworth might possibly get his foot in the stirrup.

When Mr. Woodworth was last a candidate for the assembly, a similar trick was put in practice. The name of one of the federal candidates was Benjamin Milk. On canvassing the votes, several hundred were found for Benjamin Milks. The artifice to be ing detected before the election, on canvassing the votes Mr. Woodworth attended the board, and acted as his own counsel on the occasion. [How contemptible!] The supervisors however, declined giving him a certificate; on which he petitioned the legislature for a seat, but cruel to relate, without success.
