The Hillsborough Recorder

GLENWORTH'S STATEMENT OF FRAUDS, &c.

In pursuance of a duty, such as every editor of a public Journal is called upon to perform in order to keep up with what is going on, we undertook the very unprofitable task of reading Glentworth's long pamphlet of 72 pages, that the Evening Post ushered into the world with so much pomposity. About 12 pages of this pamphlet are filled with the affidavits taken in Glentworth's case before the Recorder, and the other 60 with Glentworth's own letters and statements not sustained by the least ulterior testimony.

Glentworth's main story is, that he had valuable "papers" involving the so called "pipe layers," in aiding and abetting him in frauds upon the elective franchise in 1838 and 1840, which "papers" he kept back in consideration of certain sums of money paid and to be paid to him therefor. He attempts to connect these "pipe layers" with these frauds, and to show that they paid him money to keep still thereupon—but he furnishes no sort of proof, nor papers except his own account of conversations, which he says he had with them. "Them papers," about which we have heard so much, and which we have looked for with so much anxiety, nowhere appear,—not a document, not a collateral letter, not a paragraph which has any other proof, but his own abandoned and worthless ipse dixit. It is remarkable that a member of the Young Men's committee within the hearing of the secrets of a party in the exciting scenes of a hot election; has not come single "pa-per" apparently worth something. That he was entrusted with a mission to Philadelphia to bring on Philadelphians, constables, &c. with others to watch at the polls, and note persons of the opposite party there attempting to vote, nobody doubts. or has ever sought to conceal. The Whigs at the time everywhere proclaimed the fact. This mission, however, he strives to pervert into an illegal one of bringing on voters, though the very persons who came on, under oath, have sworn they came as constables, or officers, or guardians of the purity of the elective franchise. According to his own statement, the Whigs who sent him on this mission recalled him before it was half through; because they heard of his perversion of it. See the so-called letter of a W. Scott.

The pamphlet, though, is not worth a review. It is the last spasm of a worthless fellow to raise a penny by hawking a book. His own statements exhibit him as a most abandoned creature. The "pipe laying" farce turns out a most ridiculous abortion, with such a story and such a story teller at the bottom. Much joy do we wish the Evening Post of its witness attempting to impugn and destroy the character of many of the first men in the state and city, from its Governor, and down!
