Wig Lies on Election Returns.


TIE Wing papers are now pursuing q systematic
course e lying in relation to election returns. They
began the game on Louisiana, and they viii rePcat II
on every State which votes previous to November.
The Louisville Journal, in advance of our Wing State
Central Committee. has already propaga'ed the mos,
m~3nstrous lies in relation 70 our late elections. which
are now travelling tie rounds If the federal papers AZ
the eat, "a tie truth Is a specimen Of the c fl e
hoods. We copy the FLOWING from the federal paper
at Evansville in this State, winch always f lows
closely tie stern of tie Louisville Journal. Our read
crs viii see how much dependence is to be placed On
the statements Of such papers in regard to elections
either here or elsewhere.
notwithstanding our ingl iious defeat here in the "pock-
e." he State is certainly Wing BY a large mlloriy. We
made az by the neish5ning counties of Knox, Spencer, and
Crawford, IN each Of which We gain a Representative. Aud
a. the returns come N fom a greater distance the p .o'pccts
bTighteus glorOgsly.
BY the Louisville Journal Of yesterday we learn ,ha,
Floyd county has gone for the wings. eiectirg a whig repre-
sentative aud all county offcers. This i, another gam.
IN Harrison. The wing victory is also complete, tho major
ify icirg about 900.
Washington county, the Journal also says, has given a
Whis m iaiiy of loo.
We hear that CLARK county has gone for the wings by a
small majority.
Ripley county. hitherto 1%ocofoco, has elected a Wing Sem
aor AID p,obabiy a Wing Representative.
Switzerland county has elected a wing Senator over the
infamous Kclso, and a lie iioco representative. The county
Is console ed certain for the wings. Ana,her gain.
Those returns eIcic the most glowing expectations e a
glorious Triumph on The rstt Of he ltdlana wings.
That any paIc- an his State should publish a state
mcnt like the above displays a degree Of aulacity or
ignorance which should forever hereafter debar it from
obtaining tie slightest crcdcrcc. Every paragraph
contains a gross Glscbood. In the first paragraph
Knox, Spencer and Crawford arc set down as Wing
gains. The truth is they have always contained n
majority Of Wings, and in Spencer, the same man i
this year elected representative. who was last ycai
elected n n dcnocyut. ard he claims to he n dom,
ocrat not;. Time VIII show, any how, how much ,hc
Wings have GAINED by his election.
Allowing the statement in regard to Floyd TO b'
nearly true, they s,rctci, the Wing majority in Ilarrt
son to 200, when the most iil~ral allowance would
not give them moro than l5o.
In Washington, 80 far from there being n Wllie
majority of ice, there is a democratic majority q
over SEQ.
Clark, instead Of being Whig by "a small MAORI
IT," is democratic by 500 majority.
Ripley, in tcad Of being %"lithorto loco-fco," la
always been Why, and last year gave nearly BE-
majority for Bigger.
Switzerland is counted as a Wing gain, though i
will be remembered that Henry and kclso contestc,
It's >'h' III 'c S'hale la>t year, hiu NJ" IL - s"'
that Henry owes his success tot pledge that he woul'
execute the wishes Of the county as developed at Tie
November election, in the election Of L. 5. Senate
next winter. The county besides sends u democratic
representative ly a large maj crty, and will doubtless
go for Folk and Dallas in the fall.
81 much for the authenticity # Wing election re
turns. We viii venture to promise that if any maj
viii find in al TIC files Of the State Sentinel, from it
commencement I'LL now, 80 many gross errors rs mr.
exposed above, we will give him u hundred dollar
for his trouble.
The truth i Whiggcry itself Is based upon frau
and ~fal>chood, and it is not strange therefore that it
supporters should resort to every kind Of dcceptioi
and humbug to dcludc the people. When men ar
conscious that Their cause is bad, they VIII not lie i
tate at any means, fair or foul, to 81 tain II.
