An Int eresting Incid emit.

at the great Democratic meeting at West
Chester, a few days since, an incident occur
red which left lasting impression upon all
who witnessed it. Iu the crowd was man
who wore q Fillmore badge, and who, for a
long time, persistently followed James B.
Clay. He assembled the platform while Clay
was speaking, and, despite the remonstran-
ces of those present, crowded his way up to
within few feet of him, gazing all the while
with an air of the most earnest attention upon
his countenance. After Mr.. Clay left the
stand, he still followed him, despite all OBJ
stacles, apparently determined, at all haz-
ards, to remain in his immediate vicinity
These movements became SO marked, that
some persons who had read Mr.. Clay's speech
In Philadelphia, in which he had alluded to
the threat made against his life, in case he
spoke in Pennsylvania for Buchanan, began
to suspect that the Fillmore man was in;ma.
ted by some evil design, and he was closely
watched. At length, he embraced an oppor-
tunity Of confronting Mr.. Clay, face to face,
when his real object made clearly appa-
rent. "Sir," said he, 81 loved your father;
would have laid down my life in his SER
vice; honored his judgment and in all po-
litical affairs followed his lead while he lived.
am Fillmore man, but l cannot resist the
impulse to ask you honestly what you think
my true duty is in this campaign, and to fol-
low your advice" Mr.. Clay replied 1t is
scarcely necessary to repeat my opinions
But if you loved my father, and cherish the
principles he adhered to, your duty clearly is
to vote the Democratic State and National
tickets" Tears trickled down the cheeks Of
the anxious inquirer, as he replied IL will."-

OHIO.

This State has gone foi the opposition by a
majority much larger than that given to CHASE
for Governor. year ago. The Abolitionis;s es
innate their majority at 10000 to 10000. The
Cincinnati Enquirer thinks it may fall.
The Democrats have undoubtedly elected
Congressman in the following Districts, viz;
First District-George H. Pendleton;
Second Disirict-Wm.S S. Groes beck;
Sixth District-J. r. Cockerill
Twelfth Districts. S. Cox;
Tenth District-Joseph Miller.
These are all gains. In addition TO these the
Enquirer links the chances are favorable for
the election Of EDGERToS, in tho Fifth District
HALL, in the Ninth; MEDnL, in the Eleventh
LAWRENCE, in the Seventeenth, and Burxs in
the Fifteenth.
The contest between CAMPBELL and VALLAN
DIGHAN, in the Dayton District, is so close that
the result is still in doubt-witb the chances in
favor Of CAMPBELL.
The gains in Ohio and in this State, will re
deem the House of Representatives from the
hands of the Black Republicans.
II the Democracy OF Ohio could have de-
feated L. D. CAMPBELL, as they have defeat
ed GALLOWAY, OF the Columbus District il
would have been a victory of which they
might well be proud. As it is, they have
shown the electromagnetic that he holds
power by tenure so slight that it may be
regarded as any thing but complimentary.

to two officers of the U. s. sloop-of-war Cy.
ane. while passing through the streets o.
Halifax
We are sorry to learn that, on the evening o.
Tuesday last, party of the officers of the U
S. corvette Cyane were grossly insulted while
passing through some of our streets. They
wee followed up by a crowd, who very emphat-
ically advised them 10 go to Greytown, and
shouted out various insulting expressions and
opprobrious epithets after them. One of the
insulted party, we understand, expressed a
Willingness to give licking to the best man in
the crowd, but the individuals who composed
the latter preferred, it seems, limiting them
selves to giving the foreigners piece Of theil

GLORIOUS vIcTeRY-THE TRIUMPH OF
INDIANA DEMOCRACY.

The Democracy OF Indiana have achieved a
triumph unequaled in the annals Of political
warfare. They fought the combined isms of
the day, what was deemed by them a certain
defeat but we met the enemy and the are
ours" From all parts Of the State the news is
most gratifying and the victory is due not to
anv portion, but to the united and invincible
Democracy of Indiana. We have overcome a
majority Of near $4,000 against us two years
ago, and have elected our State ticket by not
less than SIX THOUSAND have elected SIX Con-
gressmen certain, perhaps eight, and secured
the Legislature by decided majority upon
joint ballot. 1t is a clean sweep and gives the
State TO BUCHANAN and BRECKENRIDGE By twenty
thousand majority.
In the darkest hour when all appeared cheer
less and gloomy. the Democracy Of Indiana
never quailed and when the hour arrived they
gave a victory which will send thrill of joy
to every national man in the Union. Whatever
doubt or fear may have heretofore existed as to
the result Of the Presidential contest, the cleo
tion in this State will dispel all and will make
certain every State which has been doubtful for
our candidates. Indiana has always been a
conservative State, and that character she has
now gloriously maintained. 1t now only re-
snains for the Democracy,,of the State, at the
Presidential election, to roll up majority
which will give to Black Republicanism and
its associate isms, so dangerous, not only to
the peace and prosperity, but to the perpetuity
of the government itself, quietus from which
il can never be resurrected.

The Late Henvy Wall-Streef Forgery
Case-More Forged ROres Discovered.
The frauds perpetrated by Charles r. Hunt
ington, the note-baDker, are still causing con-
siderable excitement among the business
community, more especially as new forgeries
are daily being discovered. The aggregate
amount of these forgeries, so far as known to
the authorities, is S95, 700, but this sum, it is
thought will not cover one-fourth of them
Many firms, 1t Is rumored, who have lost
large sums by discounting the forged I aper,
keep the matter quiet, fearing to iDjure their
credit by an exposure. The case is now under
examination before Justice Osborne, and in
addition to the testimony taken on Saturday,
an affidavit was made by Mr. w. II. Harbeck,
Of the firm of Harbeck g. Co., No. 60 Wall
Street, setting forth that his firm loaned
money to Huntington on four promissory
notes purportiDg to have been made by
Phelps. Dodge &c Co., and amounting 10
SCI, 800, all of which are forgeries.
Other firms beside those already reported
are said to have been imposed upon with the
forged paper, and among them are label,
Jennings & Co., who hold one of the notes
for $6,688; Ubsdell, Pierson e. Lake hold a
note for $5,584 81; Sackett, Belcher g. Co.,
one for S5,549.
Huntington has been visited in prison by
his friends, and asked to mare the extent oil
the fraud. He, however, declines giving any
particulars, but says half million will cover
it. He has been carrying on his operations
for some months, and was discovered once be-
fore, but as he paid back the advance the
matter was hushed up. 1t was undoubtedly
his intention to keep his operations still a.
long as possible, by returning the amounts
loaned to him before the papsr came due
but carelessness on his part, in allowing one
of the notes to fall due, and be presented TO
payment to the firm whose name he haC
forged, revealed the trsnsaction.-Naw Yorl

them. The gang of ruffisns hero commenced
yelling, shouting and hoOting every kind of
blackguard and abusive epithets at DOUGLAS

their number threw a stone at the house,
which aroused the ire of the landlord, who,
gathering crowd of Democrats, drove the
rascals skulking away.
