Pipe Laying.

The democrats of the several townships
should be on their guard, on the election
day, against illegal voting. The wings, it
is well known, have not hesitated else
where to resort to pipe-laying to achieve
success; and the recklessness already evinc-
eddy some ofthe leaders here affords ground
for apprehension that they are prepared to
act upon the example set by their brethren
abroad. It would be quite an easy matter
to import votes from Henry and Louisa
county into the Danville and Yellow Spring
precincts, and our friends there should be
on the look out to prevent it. No man has
right to vote out Of his county for any
office at the present election.

The Barbacue..Place Of Meeting

LEGATION of the committee of arrangements,
that in consequence Of difficulty in procu-
ring sufficiency Of water at the place a.
greed upon for the holding Of the demo-
cratic barbecue on Saturday next, it has
been deemed expedient to change the
place Of meeting to Burlington or its
neighborhood. We hope there will be a

self, is applicable.
The Hawkeye's claiming merit for mi
visiting us with abuse, is much of apiece
with the course Of the wing papers lately
in huding Mr.. Clay, because, when
Speaker Of the House Of. Representatives
he did not avail himself of an opportunity
which presented itself to steal some $50,
600 from the national treasury. Because
Mr.. C. did not do an act which would
have perjured him before his God, and
rendered him infamous in the sight Of
men, he should be rewarded with the
Presidency; and for the reason that the
Hawkeye has not teemed with invective
towards us latterly, but has simply been
content with letting us alone, the merits o.
the editor are deemed to be of so high q
character as to warrant public allusion to
them by himself We had all along sup
posed that in being honest, and abstaining
from falsehood, men were but simply dis
charging duty; but according to modern
wing logic in this we would seem to be
mistaken.
If the remarks Of the Hawkeye are
thrown out as banter to the introduction
of greater degree of courtesy into the
controversial discussions between the two
papers, then we accept the challenge
All that we require is to be met half way
There are none who entertain greater
distaste for personal warfare than we do,
and it is only when provoked to an un-
bearable point that we indulge in it.

many are temporarily leaving that place. The

achieved victory in Louisiana. Well, il

Gratis in the convention, democratic ma

gained one; for such, we assure our read
ers is the precise result in Louisiana, as
appears from full returns published in the
latest New Orleans paper. The demo-
Gratis would have carried all the members
in New Orleans by large majority, and
thus have secured majority in both
branches Of the Legislature, but for the
rejection Of several hundred legal voters,
who happened to have been naturalized
before Judge Elliot. Louisiana goes for
Polk and Dallas beyond all doulk The
late election proves this. n

Such is portion Of the caption Of the

IN the attempt is made to bamboozle our

no kind Of importance property of

comment from us would be superfluous.
