The excitement creat cd by the Iate discov- erios of certain election frauds under way st Baltimore, in connection with the votes of New York soldiers, living and dead, real und imaginary, is cooling down. The guilty New York State agents in the premises are “in durance vile,” very much astonished to find, no doubt, that their extraordinasy crime, though not oxactly contemplated er provided for in our Revised Statutes, is not beyond the reach of # military tribunal, Meantime Governor Seymour has isaned # proclamation “to Amasa J. Parker, William F. Ailen and Willfam Kelley, greeting,” appointing them comtalssioners t proceed to the city of Wask- ington, “there to ingnire into the facts and circumstances relating te such arresté and the alleged causes therefor, und to take «ach ac- tion in the premizes as will vindicate the laws of the Stace and the rigi.is and liberties of ita oltizeue, to the end that justice may be done, and that all attempts to prevent sol- diers from this State “in the service of the United States from voting, or to defraud them, gy to coeree thoir action in voting, or to detain or alter the voles cast by them,” dc, “may he exjored and published.” We expect, too, that, as the mombers of this cowmission are mea who need no references of character, they will make up a report of the inquiry be- fore them which will be satisfectory to all parties, in view of the ends of justice, regard- Tess’ cf parties. We dare say, too, that the timely develep- ments of the fraudulent New York aoldiors’ vote manufacturing operations of Ferry, Donohue & Co., at Baltimore, ant the sweeping democratic charges of frauduleut votes agaiost Governor Morton aad his party in Indiana, will have at least the good effect of more vigHance than neual onéach side in watehing the other at the Polls and in counting the votes of this Presi- dential election. Tver since the retirement of Washington from the Presidential office (there Wes no contest in his case) we have had more or less of frauds in every Presidential election, and on ell sides concerned; although it must he admitted that the democrats, in being of- tener found out, Lave been more frequently ex- posed in such things, av shipments of voters from one point to another, fraudulent votes im various forias, and pipe laying and paliot stuffing. ‘Thus the New York Gleniworth pipe laying operations of 9 quarter of a century ago, the Jobn Biidell Plaqnomine frauds, by which Louisiana wae carried for Polk against Clay, and the Keuses-Lecompton frauds, among othere, are all on file against the democrao: But ie 1841 Mr. Dnnean, of Ohio, brought in bi biil, if we are vot inkitaken, in Congress, provid- {ng for the Presidential olection om the same day in ail the ates of the Union: for hese elections down to aud in cluding that of 1840 had been held ou di’ ferent, Gaye in different States. Mr. oh, was a democrat, and bis reason for this bill resied upon the charge that some of the heavy whig majorities of 1840 were made by colonizing voters in cue State from another, thus enabling considerable detachments con- Yenient to @ State line to vote in two or three States, The bill was trinmphanily passed; for the whigs had the same complaint to make against the democrats. The wisdom of the act will be admitted, looking te the temptations which the old system offered for fraudulent practices. We oaunot doubt, however, that Harrison's majorities in 1840 would have been about the same hed the election occurred all over the Union on the exme day; for the rea. fon, as we believe, that agalust the genuine votes of the poopie in a national election the frandulent vetes put in are but as the vubbies on the sarface of a mighty stream. “Honesty is the best policy.” “Choating luck never thrives.” Let both parties on the Sth of November remesiber these good old maxims; bat, to mate all sure, lot each party keep ashatp eye upon the other, and we shall probably have, after all the appearanecs of violent commotions, one of the quivtest of Presidentia! eicetions since the last olection of Monroe.

No sooner is the St. Albans difficulty in @ train® of judiofal ia- quiry than we are informed by the Canadian authorities that an attack on the city of Buffalo is in contemplation by parties from the rebel States who have been given an asylum within the provinces, while from Sandusky, Olio, wo have information of s projected raid on that city. In fact, not a foot of our northera boundary is now safe from these piratical incursions. It would seem as if the Canadian government was totally unable to reprees them either by their clyil authorities or military forces. This slate of things pute us to the unpleasant task of considering what it will shortly become our duty to do in self- defence. If it shall be necossary to station not only a military force along our norttern boundaries, but cven to cross them to punish the violators of our soil and the destroyers of the lives and property of our citizens, the British government aud the Canadtan govern- meat must not complaln. The authorities for our procedure for such a step are ample, and are fonad in the practice and declarations of the British government itself. Lord Castlereagh, in his circular to the allied Powers, January 19, 1821, declared that no government was more prepared than his own “to uphold the right of any State or States to interfere where their own security or essential juterests were’ seriously endangered by the internal transactions of another State,” it was also judicially lad down in England in thoense of the Twee Gebroeders that no proxi- mate acts of war were in avy manner to be allowed to origivate on neutral ground, A vessel within a nentral line cannot send out hor boats on hostile enterprises, and no act of nostility is to be commenced on noutral ground. But, whatever were the old rules of interaational flaw, the British goverment has act an example, already referred to by us ea previous occasious, which we can justi- flably fallow—that of the Caro line. Neither during the administration of Mr. Van Buron, of Geueral Harrison or his succes- sor, John Tyler, did it abandon the principte as laid down by Mr. I'ox, in Lis letter to Mr. For- syth, that the desiruciioa of that sieamer withia our territory was “ono in the strictest sense of self-defence reudered absolutely necessary by the circumstances of the occasion for the safety aud protection of ber Majeaty’s subjects,” and where “the friendly Power had been deprived through overbearing piratical violence of ita proper authority over that portion of its terri- tory.” These assertions were further hacked up by the distinct arowal of Lord Palmerston to our Miniater in London, when he declared that the act complained of was with the sanction of the British government. These were acquiesced in as legal by Mr. Tyler, and indirectly defended both by Mr. Webster and Mr. Cushing, who were then the great supports of his administra- tion. Weare therefore icftin no doubt that the rights assumed and maintained in the case of the Caroline have equal force and substan- tinlity for ue. The Canadian government ix thea necessarily in this predicament. If !t does not do us justice against those robbers now in custody in Mov- treal, we shall be fully warranted in following thew with an armed force and taking possession of them ourselves. Aud In cage any attack, originating in the Canadas ie made on Doiro't | or Buffalo, it will be our right as our duty {o | follow the raiders into the Cauadiaa territory | and *shoot them dowa.”’ If the rebel leaders can transfer the war from thelr own territory to our Northern frontier, making the Canadas thelr base of operations, not only will the neutrality of our Northern neighbore be abandoned. but they wik become a dangerous enemy and must be treated as such, ~~ Caartaxdoaa, Oct. #1, 1864, Tho remaina of Brigadfer Geueral Ravsom, late com- mander of the Fourth divisiin, Seventeenth corps, left hore to-day in charge of bis Adjutant General.
