EIkhart and Lagrange.

The editor Of the Indiana Journal thinks we have
business NEEDLE ourselves with the election of
State Senator in EIkhart and Lagrange. because his
whg brother hopes TO be elected, at least profit by
an unfortunate division amongst the Democrats In
other matters. Now beg leave to differ with
the gentleman. We have a right TO entreat our DEM
ocratc friends in any county counties TO settle all
their difficulties and particularly those that might
loose US the next Legislature. The last Jefersonan
says, the Hon. CALEB B. Smith, a government Off
Ger, has returned home and has taken the field to
cure Wing Legislature, and our friends everywhere
should be up and doing. Mr.. Smith has strong
motive to impel him TO this interference. When
Governor WHrrcoMB elected Senator Mr.. Smith
was the regularly nominated Wing candidate that
was supported by his party against him, and would
doubt be the candidate whom the wings would Sc
lect, and JOSEPH DEFREEs, under the instruction of
his brother JOHN, would be sure to support him.
We hope our friends IN Elkhart as well all 9TH
er counties where it may be applicable, will not fail
10 take the following advice of the Goshen Democrat.
In other portions of the State, where some divisions
have existed, the skies look brighter and we have
hopes that all will be well. The Democrat says:
How is it with regard to the Legisaturel Upon
the next session thereof devoIves the election Of a
Senator who shall represent the State OF Indiana for
the next six years. Elect 10 Defrees to the senate
and where viii be the voice of Democratic Elkhart
IN the election of u. S. Senatori 1t will be in IA
vorof Wing and Of Wing principles and Wing
policy. Do you wish a wbig-a Taylor wing al
that-to represent the Democracy of old EIkbart in
the Senate Chamber of the United Siatesl If so
vote for 10 Defrees, and your wishes will be fully
allied. We cannot believe that any Democrat car
be false to his professions and principles If the
effect Of vote for 30 Defrees ceased at the expra
ton Of bis term of Office, its consequences would no
be SO ruinous. But il is not so Its effect will b.
felt against Democracy, and in fasor of Whigger,
for at least six years, if not for many more Eel
low Democrats you willing that such shall be ih
case with your vote!

bank of that stream. The masonry for the bridge
has been let to good and responsible contractor, on
favorable terms, and the work is progressing very
well. The grading of the balance of the road between
this place and Indianapolis, was put under contract
the 2Sth of June, at average Of about two and
half per cent. below the Engineers estimate, and
twenty-sx and half per cent payable In the stock
of the company; that the grading and masonry of
the whole line, between those points, is now under
contract or completed Considerable more than half
of the work is done and the balance is progress
ing rapidly towards completion. All the heavy work
will be completed the coming fall, and the whole line
will be ready for the supersructure early next spring
And if the iron be obtained, to have it
brought up the river early next spring, see nothing

To be observed by persons applying to the
Pension Office for Bounty Land, under the
act of September 26th, 1850, entitled " An

In every application Cor the benefit Of the
act aforesaid, whether made by the surviving
officer soldier himself, or by his widow
or minor child or children, declaration, un-
der oath, must be made as nearly according to
the following forms as the nature OF the case
viii admit.
Such declaration, and all affidavits, must
be sworn to before some justice of the peace
or other officer authorized 10 administer oaths
for general purposes, who must certify the
same.
The official character and signature of the
magistrate who may administer the oath must
be certified by the clerk Of the proper court
Of record of his county, under the zeal of the
court. Such certificate must accompany eve-
ry case
In every instance where the certificate Of
the certifying officer who auihenticates the
paper is not written on the same sheet of pa
per which contains the affidavit or other pa
pers authenticated, the certificate must be
attached thereto by i piece of tape or narrow
ribbon, the ends of which must pass under
the official seal, to prevent any paper
from being Improperly attached TO the GER
tfcate
The Sd section, in express terms, only pro-
vides for the location of warrant under the
law. Thus, the right 10 locate not being Civ
en- to an assignee, the Department may we'll
say that no assignments made prior 10 loca-
iion will be recognised.

that the claim Of the soldiers or his heirs
should continue free from every kind OF in

evils growing out Of conflicting claims under
alledged assignment
The object Of the law Is to confer the right
