To the Ladies of Indiana.

In speaking Of the Locofoco nominee for Gov
ernor, the editor of the Indiana Journal makes
the following appeal TO the ladies of Indiana, as
TO the merits Of Mr. Whcomb TO fill that office.
1--WE submit it to the ladies of Indiana whe,h-
er Mr.. WHIrCoMB shall be elected Governor.
He is old bachelor, ladies', almost in the oscar
and yellow leaf"-a lawyer 10y profession, and
gentleman of small share Of polite accomplish
menIs. Yet he has overlooked the sex up to the
present hour.
Mr. Wnitcomb has been Commissioner Of the
General Land Office. He has rubbed against the
President; been ris q pis with all the foreign
npoteD,iaries Of the day, has picked his teeth,
(not at the table buto after the dinners of the
Executive and Cabinet officers: he has had sea-
tickets to grand levees; he is perfectly famil-
lar with gold spoons and silver forks, nd can de-
cipher French biil-of fare, from the first grand
'cntree' down to the last jaw breaking moroccan of

great routes "occasons' &c, Of our national me
ropolls. turned over the gilt edged leaves OF ma.
ny soft and love breathing album, yet he has
passed through ALL the same stern and infexibIe
bachelor! Has he a heart, ladies? and should he
preside the destiuIes of this CEiv alrous COM
monw ealih withOut one?
Now do insist that such gentleman shall
be the Executive of Indiana. What will he do with
| the White House? Beneath his auspices i, will
assume oil The sterility of Sahara. The honora-
BILE gentleman will bring 10 the seat Of Govern
ment his saddle bags and carpet bag-empty Out
their contents Of shirts and other unmentiona 5es

and comb-Purchase a looking glass and broom

The editor OF the Lebanon CO., Star 10 speaking
Of the late Senatorial election, says

Of the late Senatorial election, says
The Wings went into the election with comb
den, expectation Of eleciing Smith, from the
fact that David Hoover, a loco foco Senator from
Wayne county, stood pledged to vote for him; bu,
Mr.. Hoover, like most men under such clrcums,an-
ces, viola, ted his pledge and voted the loco 'oco
ticket. For this the Richmond Palladium denoun-
him destitute Of all political honesty and
integrity" But why denounce Mr.. Hoover?-
The Wings of old Wayne in fact the offend
ers. and should be held responsible. With a whlg
ma jority Of some 1900, why was ocofoco elected
to represent them in the Iegsla,ure? What If
Hoover did pledge himself 10 vote for Smith
should political hucksterer, who, for sake Of Of
fee, is base enough to pledge himself TO deser,
principles be held 10 the redemption of such
pledge? If Wayne county wishes the adoption
Of whg measures, she will, perhaps, learn by this
to confide those interests, hereafter, to the hands
Of whig men.
We acknowledge the justice Of the above re-
marks and We hope the Wings of old Wayne may
profit thereby.
