THE FACTS PLAINLY STATED.
The Trenton True American says:
Col. ]. w. IRWIN.

The Trenton True American says:
The Americans and the republicans each charge the
other with the design of casting the electoral of the
State for Mr. Buchanan whilst they each continue boast
of the certainty with which their respective candidates will
succeed. Now the fact is, it appears u.s. that
than half Of the voters of the State in favor of Mr. Blu
chanans election and the remainder divided between those
who favor Fillmore their first choice and Buchanan
their second, and those who go for Fremont first and Blu
chanan secondso that any how the electoral of the
State must be cast for him who greatly preferred
either of his antagonists"

Pennsylvania which closes on the 14tb of next month BY
few the issue is regarded as doubtful BY the many it is
viewed with the confidence of settled faith while all
parcuarly our Pennsylvania fendsare emphatic in the
assertion that no matter how the State may 90 in October
next it is beyond all contingency certain for Mr. Buchanan
by larger majority than was ever before given to any
presidential candidate Judging from the tone and spirit
of the democratic press of Pennsylvania from the enthus
astic and overwhelming gatherings of her democracy from
the untring zeal and efficient abors of the
es Of the party in every section of the State and from the
estimates Of gentlemen whose opportunities for obtaining
reliable information cannot be excelled we should say that
the coming election might now be safely regarded as
foregone conclusion-that the victory ours although not

Druakennegs in New Albany.

The editor of the New Albany Ledger, BIT
ter anti-American paper, says in a late number
of that sheet:
We counted during brief walk yesterday
afternoon no less than sixty five drunken men
and half-grown boys.
What commentary is this upon the de-
struction of the Prohibitory Liquor, Law!
What confession for an editor to make, who
with his party have been laboring for months
to retard the workings of this Law and to bring
with it public condemnation! They have at
last succeeded so far as to again give free
license to the retailing of liquor. The above
is an evidence of the effects of this success liz
New Albany. This whisky editor, in briel
walk, has counted sirty-fue drunken men and
half-grooon boys, And yet he dares oppose a
law which was honestly intended to prevent
the spectacle of even one drunken man on the
streets of any town or city in the State-and
which did have the effect in great measure,
violated secretly as certain of its provisions
were and under Old Line approval, to almost
drive for time drunkenness and all its con-
sequent miseries from the State. But new, by
the evidence of an Old Line editor, what ter
rible condition of things, does our sister city
of New Albany present! This single state
ment of what this New Albany editor saw in
"brief walk" should forever seal his lips or
dry the ink in his pen, when he feels disposed
to talk or write against Prohibitory Liquor
Laws

The New Year.

The Old yeat-has passed away, and 1856 is
present. With it, we extend a "happy New
Year. greeting to friends and patrons. We
wish them, all happiness-health for them
selves and for their &milies-prosperity indi-
7idually and prosperity collectively. To some
of us, the old years parting was made sad by
home afliction-others, it has left gay and
joyous as the brightest sunshine its gladdcst
day poured upon earth. But the year has
brought to all its lessons. It's memories with
some are shrouds and graves and buried hopes
with others, toll and weariness-with none
uninterrupted happiness. May our spirits
have been been purified and strengthened by
the past years ordeals, to meet with oper
arms of welcome the new year, and with for
titude all of sorrow or trial it may bring.

A New years aift worth Having!

Our good friend Mr.. A. B. Wilkinson, of the
neighborhood of Cyntheana, brought us in his
annual New Years gift of big club of sub
scribers with the cash. His club this year
numbers sxty-one names, and he says there
area feso more to be gathered up! That's the
way to talk! This illustrates what our friends
can do when they try. Every year Mr. w.
devotes little time to our interests, and the
result is shown above. The Journal preserves
its popularity among the staunch farmers and
business men of Cyntheana neighborhood.-
Every year its list increases, and every year
brings us additional and stronger testimonials,
not only from there, but from many other
quarters, that our course meets with hearty
approval. We promise our friends better
paper in 1856 than we have ever before given
them. We anticipate soon having regular
agricultural editor and in that department the
Journal will be second to no other paper in the
State or in the West. Before the year closes
the Journal will be going by steam, and the
Weekly greatly enlarged-if something un-
foreseen does not turn uD In the meantime
we thank our old friend Aaron B. Wilkinson,
and few more Of the same sort, for the exer-
tons they are using in our behalf We start
the new year we'll The first day, a club Of
sixty-one subscribers. Who follows?
