FINE MEAT.-We acknowledge the receipt
from Messrs. VIM. Enrich and E. Fl. Mosley,
of some of the latest and choicest beef we
have seen for months past-much superior to
what generally graces our own table, and we
are particular that none but good meat gets
on lit Mr.. Enrich has just opened meat
shop on Locust street, above the Sherwood
House, Mr.. Mosley, who" knows all about
good cattle, and just where to find them, will
provide the stock for the meat shop. Citi-
zens will always be able to get first rate beef,
mutton, &C. &c, at Emrich's. Try it.

The Political End of A. p. willard

If at the close of this day, Ashbel P Will
lard is not defeated by a majority of thousands
or tens of thousands, then the people of In
diana have not done justice to the most cor
rupt office grasping demagogue whose presence
ever cursed the we'll being of the State. II
there are hundred intelligent men in Indiana
who do not kno,o Willard to be what we have
termed him, their ignorance, with the means
of information they have had, is utterly
inexcusable. He is the same man who swim
died the State in the Georgia Swamp Lands
transactions, and in the New Albany Plank
Road enterprise, which enriched him. He is
the same man who led off the Democracy in
the last Legislature in hundred political ini-
quities, all practically condemning and upset
ting the principle, that the majority shall rule.
He is the individual who by his casting vote,
refused to permit the cider clause from being
stricken from the 2rohibitory Liquor Law
He is the same person whose drinking habits
are so notorious, and were injuring him so
much among the decent and moral Of the State,
that he felt compelled to make public pledge
to entirely abstain from the use of liquor dur
ing the canvass, and while Governor of the
State, should he be elected-and who has vio-
lated that pledge on every occasion since, and
is now nothing more than a common bloat.-
That he is low blackguard, and will outrage
truth and decency, from morning till night, or
at least for hours at time, every man knows
who has heard him speak. Yet this man has
been brought forward by the Democratic party
for the highest Office of honor and trust in the
State, and he is now asking the people to make
him Governor of the sovereign State of Indi-
ana! have the people been dragged so low in
the bitter pool of politics, that they desire to
be represented before all other States by
Ashbel P. Willard? Judge Morton, his oppo-
nent, is man against whose private character
mot word has been whispered during this
entire canvass. His public life likewise de6es
Investigation, while in ability he is eminent
ly Wizards superior. Vote for him, and
save US the disgrace of Willard in the Guber
material chair.

More Corruption

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes two let
tiers from New York, both addressed to Hon.
LID. Campbell stating that $4,000 had been
sent from that city into Mr.. CampbelPs dis
trlct to aid in the canvass on the side of Mr..
Vallandingham.
1t is rumored that Senator Bright has fur
nished $4,000 to defeat Col Hendricks in
this district, and that ], 100 Irish laborers
have been colonized in Jackson county.
We annex one of the letters received from
New York by Mr.. Campbell:
AsToR HOUSE, Oct. 1, 1856.
DEAR SIR: l have this moment arrived in
town from home. Mr.. - informs me that
$1,000 was sent from here yesterday into

Fire at Henderson .

HENDERSON, Ky, Oct. Is.
On Sunday morning last about 8 o'clock,
the extensive pork house of Woodruff & Funk
was discovered TO be on fire at both ends.-
The house being frame, and very dry, the
whole building was enveloped in flames in the
course of ten or fifteen minutes, which rem
dered it entirely impossible to save any portion
oft All the sheds attached to the building
were also destroyed, besides large number
Of pork barrels. Their loss is estimated at
from 5000 to $4,000; insured for $4,000.

Slipped through our Fingers-Thoss Lots moi
Sold Yet.

We fear our Democratic friend who wanted
those lots, did not want them half so badly as
he thought he did. He came to our office yes
terday to learn where the lots were. We
gave him the locality, and with a friend, he
visited them. In the afternoon the two
visited us, and wanted to cheaper US. They
had entirely misunderstood our PROPOSAL
They thought we had meant to l7ave the cash
valuation of it to arbitration! Now here is
the proposal we made: 1.-THE purchaser to
pay us the price for the lots in cash, the same
cash price we have been asking for month
past, and no more than their market value,
when Morton is elected. IfWillard is elected,
we will give him a clear title for nothing
Moreover. we will present the individual who
brings us such customer, new five dollar
hat" We certainly thought this plain. We
had been told their market value was $500
each. and we had offered them for two months
past at that price, cash, utterly refusing to
take any less for them-and we had been of
fered that on time. Our confidence friend,
however, insisted that we should take what
earbitrators thought they were worth in cash.
If we had been offering them at ordinary sale,
and this purchaser had called to see us for the
purpose of buying, does any one suppose that
when we had refused to take less than GER
tain sum for them, he would have insisted il
was right and fair we should leave it to other
persons to settle the value of our property, and
promise to be governed by their decision?-
Ridiculous. We offered the property to him
for precisely what we had been offering it to
others, and for no more. He had either to ac-
cept our proposition or back out. He did the
latter. Our only political object in making the
proposal, was to prove that these Old Line
leaders were hypocritical in pretending to be-
lieve that Willard will be elected. If our
friend had the proper confidence he pretends,
he scarcely would have backed out from our
proposal, even if he thought the price too high.
To prove his confidence, although neither OF
us ever bets, We proposed to make him a pres
emit of two hundred dollars if Willard is elect
ed, if he would present US with one hundred
dollars if Morton is elected. His confidence
didn't go that far. If he wants any bstter offer,
please let us know, as we think we are enti-
tied to present from him, anyhow.

0T We may truthfully say that navigation
on the Ohio is suspended for the first time in
eighteen years. The steamer Chattanooga,
bound up, abandoned her trip at this point,
and is now laid up. The steamers Ella and
V. K. Stephenson are at French Island, and
there is not the least probability that they will
be able to get over. An old resident of our
place told us on Saturday, that in 1888. there
was more water on the bar in front of Evans
vile than there is at present. Flatboats that
draw more than ten inches, have hard time
to reach our wharf. 1t is with difficulty that
skiffs can be landed on the Kentucky shore,
where few weeks ago the ferry-boat crossed.
The river is still slowly receding all the way
up. .ia

A Government Agent at Work, and at very
Dirty Work -.--


Mr.. A. T. Whittlesey, (and noy we give his
name) sub-clerk at Washington City, and
who took upon himself to deny the charge
that clerk had been sent from Washington
City to assist in electing Democratic Repre-
sentative from this county, has now afforded
convincing proof that whether sent here or not,
his object here is to assist in electing such a
Representative. How honorable his course Isl,
we shall leave others to judge after making a
statement. His course may suit politics in
Washington, but we assure him it will not do
here, to be practiced against such a man as
John Ingle, Jr. Mr.. John Hyde, (whose We
racity by the way, no man will question: hav
ing signiied he was not going to vote for Mr..
Ingle, was asked his reasons why. He re-
piled he had been told that John Ingle, main
tanning the high principles he did, had stopped
to treat Germans and Irish for their votes
This was pronounced lie at once, and he was
asked who had told him this. He said A. T.
Whittlesey had told him he saw Mr.. Ingle
treating these men to secure their votes. We
need not say that Mr. Whittlesey never saw
any such thing, and that Mr.. Ingle when told
of Whittlesey's charge pronounced it lie
Mr.. Ingle is not, and never was in favor of the
late Prohibitory Liquor law, but no grosser
SANDER could be uttered against him in view
of his principles and past life, than that he had
stopped to treat Germans and Irish to secure
votes. The community can now judge
uhathar or not Mr. Whittlacav,c oourca dooc
not look as if our charge were true. Will the
citizens of this county stand quietly by, and
see Mr.. Ingle sacrificed by the foul course of
his foes? Will they become tools Of sub
clerk from Washington? Vote for Mr.. Ingle
and thus defend right, justice and decency.
This falsehood of the sub-clerk's has had free
circulation to Mr. Ingle's serious injury.

Who shall Represent us in Congress.

Our citizens have had ample opportunities
Of deciding between the respective claims of
Messrs. Veatch and Lockhart. We have but
little to say about them to-day. Honest men
have very readily decided who to vote for, al
though some honest men are so jealous po-
liticians, that honesty has but little to do with
the matter of eciding in such cases as this.
We have warmly supported Mr.. Veatch because
we believe him to be man of ability, of in
tegrity, and of honesty in political opinions as
well in his dealings with his fellow men. He
has never been a political hack in any party
he has never made politics business. Even
the nomination under which he has been
running, was none of his own choosing We
have also supported him because he is opposed
to the Pierce Administration, and more espe-
cially to its trucking dough-face policy on the
slavery question.
We shall vote for him as cheerfully as we
ever cast vote in our life for Congressional
candidate. If there be single Fillmore man
only say there is most an emphatic difference
between US as to our duty, and we can give
the authority of the best Fillmore men in the
West and South, that we are right
AS for Judge Lockhart, we have treated
him during this canvass with more clemency
than he or his friends had any right to claim.
The little they have termed abuse of him, was
truth, and they may thank US we held back so
much of the truth. 1t was in no consideIa-
ton for him, perhaps, that we have not pur-
sued him with the truth over this District,
and made every corner oft too hot for him
But we have said enough to illustrate plainly
to the people the manner ofman opposing Mr.
Veatch. No one denies that he lives by Of
flee, that he has no existence out off office, and
yet that he is incapable of properly filling such
an office as that to which he now aspires. We
leave these candidates to the people.
Border Rufians about-American Flag StoIer.
Last Sunday night some Old Line scamps
stole the handsome flag and streamer, on the
latter of which were the names of Fillmore
and Donelson," from a pole erected by Messrs.
Morris and Trimble, at the blacksmith shop of
the former on First street At o'clock at
night the stars and stripes were waving from
this pole. Between this time and daylight,
that american flag was stolen by some wretch
es unworthy OF the name of American citizens
as they are of honest men. To have simply sto-
len the streamer, would be thievish act
which decent men Of all parties should rebuke
but to steal the american flag, is an act of
rascality which the heart of no true american
could conceive, though his patriotism were
dyed in the infamy of vice. This flag was sto-
len too from a blacksmith shop, one of those
places tie Democracy love so much, and from
one of those brawny mechanics" about whom
they lisp such fond praises! All right. They
may steal flags from mechanics, but they will
hardly be able to eraslave them according to the
doctrine proposed by Democrats, for which
see outside.
