THE VIVA VOCE SYSTEM
Wc present this week another number of
1'ente. He proposes Jo discus: ihe ques
lien whether the ett c sjicae.iaereajai
the virulence ol political feeling at the polls;
laKtng Inmselr of course the neegative of
ibef reposition. Tliis isa point upon which
chiier party unless he had lived under the
operation of both the ballot end the vita voce
system conW teH Hale about.
So far notvcvcr.as wc have been able to
learnJvenlucty one of his lest States bears
off Ifce palm ferial! fighting at the polls and
one ofour most estimable citizens a native of
the Stale who tor twenty years bad contin-
uous experience of the system and has of late
years observed iho effects of the ballot gives
it as his opinion the opinion derived from
observation and nc-lwithstandingall the pre-
posseisTjon to be engendered by being raised
up to'thepractiia: of it that it does unques-
tionably t lead to a vast deaifof street fighting
commencing at the Polk
Wedo not know any comparative records
to be obtained to sbotv where elections are
most turbulent whether in Georgia Virgin-
ia Tennessee r Kentucky and therefore
each ciazen wiH have to form ha opinion
upon that point from .such lights as be may
be able to discover in ihe course of his dnily
observations.
Wethink Kentucky has some celebrity '
or ugHfeT upon election days we do not
Know-how his in Virginia.
Tfio argument that because party spirit
runs high in Georgia and Tennessee they
must necessarily fight upon" election days is
we think rather defective. It docs cot follow
ihtt because men are interested in maintain
ing certain political views they must neces-
sarily fight especially when they have no
way to tell whether a voter is for them or
against them unless he chooses to make it
known.
It seems lo ustbl such is fir more likely
to be the result -where each voter is forced
to declare alpad what men he supports and
thus expose himself to the direct inquisition.
of those who differ with him and who in
case of unexpected opposition perhaps
change of party become irritated by hearing
him.directfy to their faces refuse or dis card
their association. This might very naturally
lead to irritation irritation to harsh expres-
sions and" harsh expressions to personal
combat- Is this -view not reasonable We
think it is!
Veritas challenges us to give statistical in.
formation upon this subject Wc have none.
We have not kept or endeavored to kcep-a
calendar of fights for any State of the Union.
Perhaps if as he intimates he has much in-
formation upon this subject he would have
done well lo cniighten us. We profess to
argue upon the subjsctmore upon the lights
wrnch ''reason furnishes than upon the
knowledge derived from experience.
Ver-tas stili persists in his uncharitable
intimations of the want of honest) and inde-
pendence in those who favor the ballot system.
W.e think the result will prove that he has
an uncharitable opinion of his fellow crtizecs
generally and as we intimated in our first
that there is onlr cue class who receive the
benefit of bis sympathies.
The representation cf the motives of the
supporters of the ballot system which he
throws out so floutingly and which ha re
quests us nottotake toonrselfj we can assure
him we do not so take. TVo are too well
satisfied ofour own general correctness of
motive ever to apply Id ourself any unhand-
some. .intimation; unless evidently intended
for us.
The next point which Veritas touches up
on aj to the difference of lime consamed by 1
the operation of the two systems is happily
osq which cab be made plain to the compre-
hension of any reflating man. Veritas
Tuisapprefeeods us. Oar consideration is
net fbrlhegjoor unfortunate managers of our
elections." It is for iho mass of Voters who
wH" necessarily ba withhold from their bad-
ness pursuits by the delay. Veritas we think
J says that the "election by ballot comprises all
the labor and consumes all the Urns of a viv&voct'
eleeti&n. Yrithlhft fldAitirjnsl Unnr anil lime innt
' r
in comparing and counting the voles.'' Here
Veritas has surely boggtd hioucif notwiihitacdini;
his very positive stand upon the point. "Figures
those everlasting truth tellers" trill not bear him
out.
There are sixteen officers lo be voted for on
Monday last. The citisen who casts his vote wil
be obliged to nasic in succession sixteen nrsnes
specilyiug for-which office bo votes breach. Witt
VeriUs pretend to assert to any man bf ordinary
common sense that the naming of thcie sixteen
individuals and the sixteen offices to which the
roter wishes to assign them takes no mora time
than to advance and placed in the ban d$ of the
Jatige of election a slip of paper which will con-
taine them altt Does he mean to say that it requires
as maeh time to stretch out the hind and deliver
to a person in imraediateeontactapiece of paper
as to talk to hita long enough to express who he
treald vote Tor for sixteen different offices dif
ferent men lo alii Surely Veritas hit not the har
dihood lo saj that "agures thos everlasting troth
tellers" wilt bear him ont in such an assertion; tor
eYety raan who trill read his communication will
well know that it will take fall sixteen tines as
long that is what "figures will show.
In each casa ihe man's name lias lob: regitttr-
ered and his ote nzuabeted on the list. There is
aoarMrliosaituae lost in placing Ihe correspon-
ding number upon the ticket. Even if there were
there la more lost by asking him at the oQUtt who
he rotes for ucdtr the riva voce system.
So that all. VcrUat' trope about "protinj; that to
the sua we are indebted for the light of day'
I only serves to iLorrslbstAestindsia need of ad
ditional light from the sun or tome other influence
or power.
Nowwedonottasan toiay that herein CUrks-
ville oi in any other place of similar size
the rfea twrsysSea would be onerous upon
the people bat we must consider that at
setae day not far distant Galveston and
probata V some otter place in our Stat e will nam
ker several thousands of 'in habitants. Then and
there will be fell the pinch so tar as time is con-
cerned. Ia legislating ibr the Slate we should not
confine our Uw to the thinly populated sections.
We' should legislate for all; and we should legis
late for all alike. So far as time is concerned
however it is probably tbeleastefths objectwns
to this system an illustration which we will en
deavor to make by the time Veritas gets through
with us.
We had written the foregoing prior lo the elec-
tion on Monday last. Thfexpenenee ol that daj
has gi vea us the knowledge dented from experience
which we did not before hare.
c satr practically demoEstrated the correct-
ness of oar calculation rUatire to time. The
Judges opened the polls at the nsual fcourand irork-
eefbard with the intcnoiion of anhour for dinner
until nearly night before they had one moments
leisure. Late ia the afternoon they cried out for
"more votes" a cry -nhieh under the ballot sys-
tem usoaly comes in an hour after the polls are
otened and is iterated several times da-intr the
day. And yet n ith all the labor imposed upon the
fudges & Clerks k the continued press about the
poll until late in the day. oniy S5 relet tare taken
when the poll closed. In the same time SOOO bal-
lots could nave bren receired and registered.
As we walked abo at during the morcing.we heard
several petsens who hid been accustomed to the
system express their dislike of it; and so uatrtrao!
was the expression cf the mass upon the ground
against Uu innovation upon ihei r privileges thai
no doubt could be left mn iheiaind. of-ihasaoU
sSeeUeal as to the opinion ol the pec pie upon the
law.
Quite a number would not vo'e at all under the
system and expressed their determination vextr
to vote while it remained in force.
There was one continue! press about the place
of voting for many hours and many individuals
waited several hours for the opportunity to vo'e;
and yet only 235 volts were received caring the
day.
We trust Veritas is convinced upon the qnes
tiensftime through as we said before we con-
ceive jt one of the least sertouz of all the evils
growing out of the election.
As we apprehended much irritation was
aroused by the verbal expression of the vote. Wc
know personally several instances of it; and in oae
cesca gentleman who has been accustomed to it
all 81s life and was the day before the election a
decided advocate of it.met'us at night and told us
he was satisfied of iU ill effect That familiar with
it as he had been he had not noticed Until Mon-
day its serious evil; and that he was with us heart
aau hand for its repeal. Tke expression did net I
comeiroma disappointed man. The individual
in question was a candidate and eminently suc-
cessful. THE ELECTION
W6 hive delayed the issue of cur paper to ob-
tain as fall returns as passible of the election.
The returns however have ntcome in as was
expected and we can only show the result at three
precincts.

Legislature who repaired to the Armv of Oc
cupation under instructions of the House of!
Kenrescntstivcs lo convey to uen. layior
the resolutions passed by tho Legislature ex-
pressive of tho thanks ol the people of Lou-
isiana for the gallantry ol himself and the
array under his command in achieving the
anlendtd victories of the 6th and 9th of May
and in defending Fort Brown during a bom
bardment ofa weeks duration.
Just before the eoramiuee left Matamoros
Major Ogden arrived from above with the
information that the detachment of regulars
and volunlcers under Col. Wilson had taken
the town of Reyncsawithoutmeelinganyop-
nasitton. It was ihouuhl tnat tne navigation
of the Rio Grande was practicable to Ca-
rnstiro if so. that town would ba next in the
order of conquest. From this point Camar.
go preparations would ba made for penetra
ling the interior.
Before the committee left the Rio Grande
intelligence of the death of Gen. Torrejen
reached Matamoros. It it said he died of n
fever after the battles of the 8th and Oth of
May: it was thought ho was killed in one or
the other of those actions. He was th com
mander of the Mexican division that captur-
ed Capt Thornton's command.
There was no certain knowledge in the
American camp as to the position of the Mex
ican army but it was generally supposed to
beat Monterey. Jt was also connaentiy as-
serted that Geneials Arista and Arapudta
bad both left the army for the capital the lat-
ter charging Arista with having betrayed
the army and Arista charging Aropudia with
cGvgardice.
Tne U S. sloop of war John Adams brig
Lawrence and cutter Woodsbory were bloc-
kading the mouth of the Rio Grande.

iroRT L'olk June 7 1846.
Editors of the Picayune : Gentlemen
As the eyes of the people are beginning to
tarn towards the"Hal!s of the Moatezumas"
perhaps it would gratify them to know soma
thing about the road between this piece and
that- It is probable that the army will
marchto within striking disuuseeof the chyof I
Mexico if Jt do not enter mat city. If Uen.
Taylor goes as far as Saltillo the Mexicans
will assuredly be satisfied that iurtber resist
ance will be useless aeltilk) is within
convenient transportation distance of taten
sive grain-growing regions. From this
place to Mexico the roads are good. To ar-
rive at Salullo the army will have to pass
through Monterey the road between the
two places winding along a deep ravine
between two high mountains the sides ol
which are steep and covered with rock.
The width of the valley varies from one to
two miles. The distance1 is 80 miles sad
the pass can be obstinately defended by good
troops with ample meat's. There oae
farm-house on the road called the "Rieon-
da." Wagons traval over the road aad
there is an abundance of water contained in
the natural eteek which continues alongsome
distance near the road and in artificial ponds.
Ibese last could be drained by an enemy.
Monterey is about 310 miles Irora Matamor
os nnd 200 from Camsrgo. There is only
one village between Monterey ami Camar-
go which is 3d miles this side of the former
and i. called Caidereta but there are occa-
sionally ranchoi along the road aad pbmy
of fresh beef water and musqcik wood In
one instance however it is some 20 to 27
miles betwean watering places which could
bo avoided by taking some new route. This
road is level and heavy for wagons io wet
weather but ia other respects good. From
Monterey to Mter the road is higher and
drier in wet weather. The distance from
Caranrgo to Mier is 24 miles. The pro-
ductions of Monterey are corn sugar and
blankets and the place as to size population
and character of tho peopleresembles :bat of
Matamoros. Camargo is three miles from
the Rio Grande on the Rio Juan. From
Camargo to Matamoros is about 1 10 miles
and on the enemy's side of the river the road
is good for wagons. From Reyaota to
Matamoros it u about GO miles. A small
detachment of tha 3d Infantry went out to
Reynosa a day or two since to establish a
footing there. Theywi!l find plenty to eat
and drink on the road.
We arc shivering at point Isabel this mor-
niag with the effects of a Northern wind
