GIVE intend shortly to make up sort of
catalogue of the forgeries and SANDERS,
which have been put forth by the Democrat
ic papers, and which, although concIusively
shown to be forgeries and SANDERS, have not
been retracted by the publishers of them
The community will no doubt be amazed of
the magnitude of the black catalouge and
will be able to form from it something like a
just idea of the character of the Locofoco
press of the country Lou. J0u.
We may then expect to see the Journal en-
larged, unless it be a mere catalogue without
any particulars. Those Locofoco forgeries
and ISLANDERS will continue lively till the day
OF election, and we warn Wings and Demo-
Gratis against them. Even Gen. SCOTS past
distinguished services cannot protect him
from the malicious ISLANDERS of his political
opponents. All gratitude, all admiration
which filled their hearts for the man before
he became the nominee of party, every good
feeling, for hero and patriot, is forgotten in
petty party malice. Beware of what this
malice will beget between now and the day o
election.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT There was

WASHINGTON MONUMENT There was a
box placed at the polls in this city on Tues
day last, marked, zone dime to the memory
OF Washington. Thirty. FIVE dollars was
collected in this manner, and has been for
warned to headquarters. If a similar move
ment was made at the November election at
al tie polls in the United States, enough
would be collected to finish the monument
forthwith Madison Tribune.
We are authorized to say that box will be
put up at tie polls in this city, for the above
purpose, on the day of the Presidential cleo
ton. 1t is hoped every voter will put at
least dime in said box. The day after the
election the amount thus raised will be
promptly transmitted to Washington City.
No man certainly will refuse his mite for this
object The Association for the building Of
this monument are in want of funds, and il is
shame to the country that such is the fact.

Prospects ia Ind ana l..


Yesterday we had a conversation with a
prominent and well informed Wing OF this
city, who was earnest in believing that Indi-
ana would 90 Cor Scott. We had doubted
this in an article the day before. on the ground
that as the Locofocos had shown themselves
SO particularly gullible in the State election,
we might not hope much better things OF
them in the Presidential election, although
we well knew influences had been brought TO
bea. for Wright which would totally be lest
for the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency, while Scott would command the votes
of thousands OF Wings who did not vote for
McCarty, and thousands of Democrats who
did vote for Wright. The returns of the
late election have clearly shown, that at least
five thousand Wings either stayed at home
or voted for Wright. Thousands of Demo
Gratis voted for Wright who viii not vote for
Pierce. Wright is popular with his own
party. he commanded the full vote of his
party, and large vote from the Wing party.
We know, even from things right at home'
as every observing Wing and Democrat
knows, that Pierce cannot command the vote
of his own party in Indiana. Gen. Scot is
stronger by ten thousand votes in Indiana,
than was McCarty. These and other mat
tiers are worthy of consideration. They have
at least made many rejecting Wings believe,
with tho friend mentioned above, that there is
strong hope for SCOTS securing Indiana
They should make the friends of Gen Scott,
whether Wings or Democrats, do their duty
work before the election, and rote on that
day.

o. The Buffalo Commercial of last
Wednesday morning week, used the follow.
ing language about the State elections,
which is worthy the attention of men
stu lying the prospects in Ohio:
Yesterday the State elections were held in
the great States OF Ohio and Pennsylvania.
We have 10 right to expect success, nor any,
thing like success, in Ohio at this election.
We have never expect'd to carry it. Gen.
Scott is and has been for twelve years the
tavorite OF Ohio. and VIC believe, after hear
ing from the best-in orined politicians, that he
is twenty thousand stronger in Ohio than
any other Wing in the nation, and we feel
the highest assurance, that, if the W hig par
ty was not beaten yesterday more than ten
thousand, Gen. Scott will carry the State in
November by something like that majority.
