6 We mentioned some time since the
name Of G. w. Rathbone, Esq. in connec-
ton with the Presidency Of the Evansville
and Charlottesville Railroad. The "Jour-
nal' thinks the suggestion good one, and
"would like to see Mr.. r. in that position"
Ho has also been favorably spoken Of by
many Of the prominent stockholders.
Vincennes Gag.
We presume the Gazette does not mean
to claim having suggested Mr.. r. for the
Presidency, though its language is open 10
that construction. 1t merely referred to a
known fact, that his name sOas used in such
connection. When Judge Hall declared his
intention to retire from the road, majority
Of the Directors requested Mr.. r. to succeet
him, suggestion" which we believe hu,
met the cordial approval of allinterested.-
1t is doubtful whether Mr.. r. will accept
having other engagements which he may
not feel it his interest to disturb. We have
however, deemed il due to him to say this
much to set right the position he occupies ia
connection with this matter.

The Evansville Enquirer copies the follow.
ing from the Cincinnati Enquirer, and follows
it up with some Of its characteristic remarks
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN !-On Monday
morning the following advertisement Of one
Of our County Commissioners was inserted in
all the daily papers OF this city:

On the bulletin board, in the room of the
Superintendent of the new county buildings
the following order may now be seen:

Any man who votes the Wing ticket now
is voting for disunion. The rank and Ale
do not know this, but the leaders have seen
and calculated it from afar. To preserve
the Union end to preserve liberty, the GOALS
tionists must be beaten for every office. Let
no man who values the Union or his own lib

Hall Of Princeton, or the Know Nothing
State ticket. 1t is madness to do so. -
Eng.
The Democracy are mons'rously excited
just now, fearing that the people won't all
vote their ticket. They cry out disunioni
tfeachery and political humiliation to every
man who does not vote for the Democracy
Why won't the editor of the Enquirer tell
bis readers the truth abou: this matter! In
stead of classifying public histoty;" why
don't he tell his readers that the country
was enjoying all the blessings of peace and
prosperity, and that not one single word had
been heard for years about disunion, until
Douglas, Smith Miller and theft confederates.
disturbed the quiet of The nation, by forcing
a swINDLE upon the people against their wi
and against their dearest rights and interests.
These same men who are now bawling
disunion, treachery, dc, SO Justify, are the
miscreants who drove the opening wedge OF
dsunion, by proving recreant to the bonds OF
brotherhood and good faith that cemented
the nation together in one glorious whole.
Ia. oil hot
against the Democracy is "to vote for dis
union"
Our neighbor conjures all lovers Of the
Union not to vote for Judge Hall for Con-
gress. Now let us see what kind of a sheet
his opponent, Smith Miller, can show.
He has left his mark upon the records of
Congress,
LIST. In voting for the Nebraska swindle,
a bill wholly unnecessary and uncaled for BY
his constituents or by the country at large.
I'd. In so voting for the Nebraska bill, and
for the abrogatiou Of the Missouri Compro!
mise, he not only violl.ed and outraged the
feelings and expressed wishes of his consti:
tuentsj Uut VIOiuteo the MOST saCreu dHu en-
during pledges of rational good faith.
3D.. BY this vote he uided in giving to sla.
very unlimited sway over territory ten
times as large as the State of Indiana; and
when his constitute nts demonstrated against
his casting such vote, he coolly and con.
temptuously tells them "that If they knew
better what they were about, they woull not
upbraid but approve his course"
4th. His course in Congress upon this
measure proves him to have been the plant
tool of Douglas and his fellow TRAITORS,
and not the true representative of the peo-
pie of the First District Of Indiana.
9th. His vote against the River aad Har-
Dor bill, the Homestead bill, and his support.
ing the administration in the vetoing said
bills, proves him q traitor to Western inter.
ests, Western improvements, and to the pro.
lection Of Western commerce; and totally
disqualifies him to represent the people o.
Indiana in the Congress of the United
States.
This 10 the kind of man that the Enquirer
calls upon the people of the First District to
support against Judge Hall. We forbear
further comment for the present.

Dr.. Graham N. Fitch, the distinguished
orator, who has been making a visit to this
"neck Of woods" to enlighten the good peo'
pie, in his speech here did not have word 10
say about the charge made against him in
the Journal, and to which his attention was
directly called. 1t was we'll he did not make
the attempt, for he must have most sgnally
failed in acquitting himself. What was the
charge? Why simply that q few yeats ago
while running for the Legislature; he pro.
scribed an opponent because he was Casho;
lie, saying-"You are Catholic: A Catho-
lie, and such as you should not have the right
of voting, much less hold an Office" That
is the very language he used, and such Ian
guage compelled his opponent to withdraw
from the canvass. And this is the man
whom the Enquirer helped bring to this place
to talk to the Catholics here on Know No
thingism, &C., and whom it now praises to
the skies for his speech at Springfield. IT
looks we'll for the man no few years ago
abused and defeated another man because
he was a Catholic, and proclaimed that no
Catholic ought to have right to vote, much
less to hold office-we say it looks well for
such a man now to be abusing Know No
things like SO many dogs. We advise Cath
olcs to watch these fellows who are now
cringing at their feet. They will fly in their
faces when they can do SO safely.
But this is not the only thing Dr.. Fitch
has acted the hypocrit in. He is very bitter
sgainst abolitionism and the Know No,hings,
yet few years ago he voted against the
Fugitive Slave law, and was in favor OF
Congress abolishing slavery in the district
Of Columbia, and for preventing it going in
to territory then freeI Beautiful consisten-
cy! We are anxious to see some more OF
the Nebraska imported orators. We think
they are destined to have 4 great influence
for Us.
