CAUTION TO LADIEs--At Ever Green Grove, OH
tho Icy Fork of Yellow River, Wisconsin, the
young men assembled together, one afternoon, and
after proper warning, drummed very respectable
young lady out of town for expressing iesolute
determination to remain in a single state.
IChicago Democrat.
MEssRs. EDIToRs, the above paragraph is
a libel upon the young gentlemen referred to.
AS Wisconsin is new, it therefore contains but
few manageable ladies, Gf any except such
as have emigrated from older states. And l
am certain that each lady always takes the pre-
caution before arriving at Wisconsin, to de-
clare her intention to marry the first honest in
dustrious young man that offers himself; there
fore we must conclude, that the young gentle
men of Ever Green Grove, are dishonest and
lazy. Clear this up, Democrat, or erase my
name. PHILO.

me to spread his detraction: and that having
contracted with my subscribers 10 furnish them
with what might he either useful or entertain.

alterations in which they had no concern,
with doing them manifest injustice. Now

cling Of duels. These things mention AZ

x4, Any one who has the slightest
ssk" edge of the Van Buren preoActs in
%is county, this assertion is all flummery.
6'Ile author of this communication voted
prJudge Smith, and preSumes to know
little more about tho elections in this coun-
ly,than any one who has scarcely been
hero long enough to acquire the rights of
citizenship. brief statement of facts
will show most concusively, that the as
6egtion is totally without foundation. Zion
Hill, Talberl's, and Spurlock precincts, are
the most decidedly democratic" precincts
IN the county, as all who are in the least
acQuanied with the parties here, know.
Now what does the result Of the polls at
these places demonstrate? That Judge
Smith did not scarcely obtain any Demo-
cratic votes. At TaIbert's precinct there
were 80 votes poled. How many did
Judge Smith receive? How did the ''De-
rnocracy" treat him? Why, out Of 80 votes
he Received only 8. Again, at Zion Hill
near 60 votes were given in. Well how
did they treat him there? He only re-
ceiyed Is votes. At Spurlock's 2l votes
were pollcd. Out Of 81 he, | believe, got
I2votes. In these Democratic precincts,
He received a total of 35 votes out of near
ly leo. Now take Mr.. Graves to whom
the "Democracy' extended very few ia
vors indeed; ana at Talbert's he got 80
votes, at Zion Hill IS, and at Spurlock's
fhe respectable number of /: total 49
votes. From this, it will be seen that
Graves received Ia moro votes than Smith
inthe very hot bed of "Demoracy." AT
Tick faw Judge Smith received the Wing
vote, as can be seen by reference to the re-
sul,s ofthe election. AT Smiths precinct,
he received IA, votes, and Spurlock 26,
Graves 54. Now admitting that Graves
feceived no Democratic votes IN that pre-
rinct, and that there were 54 Whlg votes:
then deduct 81 from n, and there remains
no, comprising the whole number OF DEM
0crars that voted for Smith Add 20 to
Kfhe 9 votes he go; at Spurlock's, and there
N total of &c. This is indeed but trl-
linz part OF $40, the number ofvotes Smith
xeceived in the county. This is indeed
&lhe great support he received from the
#Democracy; ;"who are attempting TO claim
lin as man of their election! tits not
} be supposed that the Judge enterfalns
Inv kind feelings towards these Demo
eratic triends, as they are styled. Con-
eede that Smith got so Democratic votes
I in Liberty, which is The extent, and this
cnly gives (aldeI to 35) 85 votes of Dem
pcratic origin. 85 is really large ma
ority out Of $40.
