To NationaIWhiRs.

We don't exactly understand this term az
used by the Dougasites-neither can we
find its application. They say that a grea,
many National Wings will vote the Douglas
ticket. We have, up to this time, been un-
able to iud a member of the Wing party
who would vote for the Nebraska s,cinde.--
The organs of the swinde party, are calling
on the National Wings, as the decples OF
the great and immortal CLAY, to vote for
the Swindle. We have no fear that a sim
gle Wing will be guilty of so great folly
to be duped into voting the Douglas tick.
ct. Look at the kind OF men who are max.
ing these appeals. Here is one of them.
The Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer di.
rect!y after Mr.. CLAY had been lied down
in 1874, at coffee house celebration of the
event, gave the following toast:
"Ths Kentucky Blacklg He has played
his last card, and now waits in terror fer the
last trump.
This Glow, like the Wright's and Brown:
of the State, now appeals to the friends o
HENRY CLAY to aid Old Hunkerism in re-
tanning the power they achieved by their in
famous ISLANDERS of 1914. Nothing short o
the impudence of Old Nick himself coul'
prompt such appeals.

A FRAuD.-The Chicago Press says: Du.
ring the past week an altered five dollar bill
has made its appearance in the street, which
is well calculated to deceive the unwary.-
1t is altered from an exploded shin plaster
concern at Washington, called the Coumbia
Bank. The words "Illinois State Bank
and "Shawneetown" are pasted upon the
bill so as to cover the words "Coumbio
Bank and Washington" Look out for it.
Hold it up to the light and there is no d. n.
ger. 1t has also very different appearance
from the most of Illinois money.

hope, and Joy in Home. From nv soul pity

1t is not the house, though that may have

it is the PRESENCE. The Lares of your

your blood in passionate flow, is the ecstacy
of the conviction. that there at least you are

there your errors will meet ever with the gen.
TEST forgiveness; that there your troubles

er, it appears that the number of persons re-
turned in the census as "authors," "edtors''
or "wrters," in the year 1851, was eighteen
hundred and forty-four; viz: se,enteen hund.
red and thirty-eight male, and one hu ndred
and six female; and of these the great me.
,ropolis swallowed up the lions share of
eleven hundred and ninety-6ve. 1t further
appears that England is fortunate enough

A DEMOCRAT,
and no Know Nothing.

SECOND DAY OF THE SMALL NorE.-The
small note law to which we referred yester.
day as going into effect on the first of this
month, has kicked up quite bobery among
the bankers aud brokers of our city. As
law. biding citizens they cannot take or is
sue the notes Of the Indiana banks of a less
denomination than Sos. Why! Because
law of the last Legislature expressly for.
bids it. These same bankers and brokers
have, IN consequence, published card
wherein they state what funds shall be bank
able, and in that card we notice that notes of
the Indiana banks of less denomination
than los shall not be received on deposit.
Of course such proceeding rather bothers a
large number of our merchants and mechan.
les who operate on a moderate scale. They
cannot meet the exgencies without consid-
cradle loss and an interruption 10 their re"-
ular business transactions.
This was an issue that was bound 10
come, and from what We can learn, there
was but one OF the money bankers in our CITY
that prepared himself for he occasion, J.
5. Dye, corner of Walnu. and Third streets.
being established in New York, and know.
ing the crisis was approaching, came home
with the means TO meet it. The consequence
has been that on yesterday and the day before
he was overrun with depositors. Yesterday
We saw them ourselves, and are aware that
ne received upward of $4,000 in small
notes, best es what he took in on deposit.
It was suggested that he had heen supplied
by the Indiana banks with los, with which
to redeem their small currency. But such
is not the case; he has abundant means of
his own to do it with. If he has as great a
rush OF depositors to day, as we saw gather
ed around his office yesterday, he will be
compelled to enlarge his premises, in order
to accommodate all those who are natural ly
desirous OF an escape from monetary shave.

The Contest N d the Prospects.

We are now on the eve Of one of the most
important elections ever held in Indiana,
since its organization as State. The ,oind
'Oorh is now all done, aud has, We trust, ac-
complished its design of enlightening the
people upon the various issues involved in
this canvass, and upon which the decision is
to be made for veal or woe, at the ballot box
on Tuesday next. The struggle has in some
respects been hard one; keen and glitter
ing weapons have been used, wounds given
and received, and the standard bearers OF
both parties have labored gallantly-and
now as the roar Of the strife is hushed, and
the smoke Of the preparatory battle passed
away, the manned, the wounded, and the I'M
hur; are left to be seen. The gallant lead.
ers and advocates of Freedom and the rights
of the people, the jealous defenders of the
Compromises, may be seen standing proudly
erect, unscathed, untouched, nobly bearing
on the glorious cause 10 sure and brilliant
triumph. The leaders and advocates of the
Nebraska swindle. open:d the contest with
CONSPICUOUS HOuTlsnS Win OOlO anu OrAZen
front, and led off as CALAMITY as men could
do in defence of cause so utterly bad, and
hopelessly indefensble.
Their courage is to be admired more than
their discretion. After all their hard fight
ing the doom of defeat is written on the wall
and their knees are now shifting together
Their brave Knights, frightened, wounded
and fleeing, have lost their prestige for for
mer triumphs, and feel themselves ovefpow-
cred and conquered by the more gallant and
nobler leaders of the" Peoples party" The
Peoples champions remain yet firm, and
the private soldiers will be in the field on
Tuesday next, doing up the closing scene at
the ballot box, and seal their glorious tri
umph by casting their votes for the princi
piles CT the compromises as they are "can
nonized in the hearts" of every true patriot
Our prospects are encouraging, as our victo
ry will be glorious. Let us put forth on,
more united effort--and let that struggle b,
an earnest and determine one commensu
rate with the great and important princi
piles involved.
