The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1848-08-07


Of Saturday has an article in which it warns
The people TO beware of "Whig frauds, ""Whig
les, 'sfalse tickets" and we don't know what
else, which that paper seems tothink will be
got up TO defeat disparity. We have been a
citizen of this county for a number of years, and
have for the last ten years conducted a paper
here, and we never before on the eve of the
election saw such en- appeal as the following
which the Democrat parades in its columns:
eve say beware of oil FRAUDS-ALL
LIES and ALL lMPOSlTl0NS, for they will
be attempted in almost every form, until the
polls are closed"
eve again repeat-BE FIRM-LOOK OUT
FOR FRAUDS--FAISE TICKETS AND
WINGS LIES
And we never before heard of frauds or
"false tickets put forth by either party, and
we do not believe any ofour citizens ever heard
of such thing or ever thought Of such
thing. But the ruth is this cry of ''stop thief
is put forth by the Democrat to cover its own
rascality. Those who conduct that print are
capable Of just such rascality is here cha ged
against their opponents, and as the saying is
"they amt capable of any thing else" We
have now before us base and lying circular
got up BY the locofoco wire pullers and print
ed at the Democrat Office, intended to operate
on the other side Of the river against MIR. Crit
tenden, to which is affixed letter favorable to
Mr.. Powell, signed by Thomas Towles, the
Wing candidate for the Legislature in Hender-
son county, lrhich is FoRGERY! The Demo-
crat endeavored to be very secret about this
matter, and took every preacution 10 prevent
a copy of this rascally production from falling
into the hands ofany WING here, but notwith-
standing, we were favored with a copy by a
friend, and, after exhibiting it TO several of our
friends. we at once transmitted it to Mr..
Towles, whom we hope it reached in time 10
be answered and prevent its doing mischief
We learned, too, from the same person who
handed US this document, that another election
eering hand-bil had been printed at the DEM
ocrat Office, but he could not get us copy,
neither could he tell us what it contained
nor for what region it was Intended
Now, in view of these facts, would it not
be we'll for our friends to be upon their guard,
and be prepared TO meet any thing Of the kind
that may be put forth. 1t may be that the
hand bill of which our friend informed us, is
intended to operate i'll this county against
Esquire Rowley, but if the locofoco leadersand
demagogues hope to profit BY such course,
they for once are mistaken in the people OF
Vanderburgh, who have too much sense to be
swayed from their honest purpose BY such shall
low tricks. During all the time we have lived
here we have never yet heard of frauds at the
polls, rascally handbills, or anything of the
kind, and although for several years we were
the only press in Evansville and printing tick
cts for this and the surrounding counties yeal
after year, we never before, nor did any of oui
citizens of either party, ever hear of two sets Of
tickets or "false tickets" Ii remained for the
Democrat, the Office that this year printed the
tickets, TO make the discovery that such thing
could be done. The cry of ''stop thief sound
ed by the Democrat will serve to fix the eyes o
the people upon that concern and those busy
bodies that hang around it and encourage it ii
its dirty course.
We sincerely hope, although we have no
presumed TO dictate in the matter in the least
that Nathan Rowley will be elected our Rep
resentative. He is one Of our Oldest and bes
citizens, having character and standing at hom,
and abroad, gentleman every way liberal, dig
nifed and highminded, and qualified for tn
station. But much as we desire his sue
cess we could not be induced TO do single un
fair act or make use of a single persuasion o
an exceptionabe character to secure il: And j
we have judged Esquire Rowley Alright h
would not have this or any other Office tina
was secured to him by fraud or deception o
any kind. There will be no fraud used unles
the Democrat and its clique attempts it, AM
we hope for the sake good morals they vii
not
