A sub-clerk from Washington, probably
aching to figure in newspaper controversy
takes it upon himself to deny the suggestion
made in this paper, and as we assure him hon
estly made in full belief of it's truth, that
such an individual as himself is now in this
city, sentfrom Washington with the object of
assisting in the election of our county Repre-
sentative. Had he shown less touchy indig-
nation, or in the rudeness of his language
more honest feeling, we might suppose some
really great error marked our statement. AS
it is, when we consider his name was not men
toned at all, and then witness his furious in
dignation, we are inclined to the belief, that
notwithstanding his denial, there is much more
in the charge than he would wish the oppo
nents of his party to believe. At all events,
the man so exceedingly ready to apply the
d greeable epithet Of liar' to his neighbo1s
on small and doubtful provocatiol, is but rare
ly anything better himself. If this young man
were not sent here, we think he has entirely
overrated his influence in making long and
expensive trip with the object of bringing that
influence to bear on our election. We don't
think his success will justify the loss of his
valuable services to the country during the
few weeks Of his absence from Washington
lis presence here is matter Of the slightest
possible public Importance, only SO far as he
may be acting as paid agent of the Pierce
Administration, aud we give him the benefit
of his denial of this charge. The Old Line
party appreciates the value of securing the
election of two Democratic U. S. Senators in
this State, which they can only obtain by
means of Democratic Legislature. To obtain
these, they are now using the most corrupt
means. Plenty of Government money will be
spent in Indiana to secure this majority. If
our young friend be not one of the bearers
of dispatches" Of this Sort we are sure there
are others among US thus armed with the
means for bribery and corruption.

willard on Slavery.

In January 1949, in a Democratic State
Convention at indianapolis, A. P. Willard re-
ported the following resolutions, which were
adopted almost without dissenting voice:
Rescued That the Institution of Slavery ought
be introduced into Territory where 1t does not now
ResoEoea, That inasmueh as New Mexico and Cali
duty of Congress to prevent the Introduction OF Slavery
within their limits.
We challenge any one to show anything that
Judge Morton has written or said that con-
tains more "Abolitionism'' than these resolu-
tons reported by Willard.
He stands upon the same ticket with Jos E.
Mcdonald the man, who until the ''new light
burst upon him. was in favor Of removing the
seat Of government to free soil. If there is a
man on the Peoples Ticket who is more ofan
Abolitionist than Joe Mcdonald, we do not
know it. The howl of Aboiitionism that has
gone up against Morton, is merely intended to
blind honest men, and lead few who can be
influenced by such unmeaning cries into the
support of Willard. They may have succeed
ed in deceiving themselves, but Fillmore men
see the trick, and will vote for Morton. On
the slavery question Judge Morton stands
where Willard stood in '49, and where he
would no0 be standing but for the leaves and
fishes of Office. E
Moreover, in all the elements that go to
make UP the gentleman, the patriot and the
statesman, he stands so immeasurably above
Willard, that no man who regards the honor
and interests OF his State can hesitate for
moment in choosing between them Next tc
the election Of Fillno ore, we regard as of para.
monnt Importance the defeat of Willard. Let
us doour duty, friends, and the whole corrupt
dynasty with which he is confederated, will.b(
overwhelmed with an inglorious defeat.

Illegal Voting a Warning.

There is great excitement in this city on
account Of an ascertained intention, on the
part of some of the Democratic wire workers,
to vote large number Of men now daily being
brought over the river from the Henderson
and Nashville Railroad. We are duly in
formed of all fresh arrivals, and we wish it
understood, as it may yet not be too late, that
there is an eye upon them or both sides of the
river. We have direct information of the ar
rival of about twenty of these gentlemen on
Friday; sumo of them talked freely, and on
being questioned whilst in Kentucky, stated,
they had been working there about nine
months, and were coming here to vote. They
further said that about twenty more were to
be here on Saturday, from the some place that
they had left. 1t is possible that some few
men who have families and residence here are
now at work on that railroad, and such have
right to vote here; but for the rest, for all
who cannot by the most undoubted testimony
established a permanent and continuing resi-
dence in Evansville or Pigeon township, we
now for their own sakes as well as for the sake
Of the purity of the ballot box, and the public
peace and security, solemnly warn them to
make no attempt to cast their illegal votes
There are enough honest men and determined
men aroused, and with an eye on these men
and their insss;ggators, to prevent the Intended
fraud. Let all who mediate so gross fraud
on that great palladium of our freedom, the
ballot box, beware in time, for they may rest
assured that such crime cannot be perpetra-
ted with impunity and that they visit Indiana
on SO attrocious an errand, as to pollute oul
ballot box, will if they persist in their objec
make longer stay here than they had calcu
lated upon. Again for the law Of our common
country and its peace and safety we say to a.
who mediate the corruption of our ballot boz
on next Tuesdey-beware.

Go to the Polls,

Don't let anything short of impossibility
keep away any who wish for the overthrow of
the corrupt bogus democracy. Let every one
who favors the election of Messry. MOrton, Baker
and Veatch feel as though on his vote depended
the result. March up IN solid phalanx and
give the Office seekers, the slaves of demagogues
and their carpet bag allies rebuke, such as
they have never before had in this county.
Importations of voters from the Henderson
and Nashville Railroad Line have been pour
ing into our city for the past few days, all un-
der instructions to vote the straight Democrat
ic ticket through; and they will do it, then
return TO their labor in another State, subject
to an order from any precinct where their SER
vices may be needed.
Whatever may have been the excuse for
remaining away from former elections don't
fail now to go up and deposit your vote for the
best men, Consider the importance Of the re-
suit. It is a contest between honesty and
corruption. A race between Office seekers and
persons who have been brought out at the
urgent solicitation of the people. Now is the
crisis. Defeat Old Lineism on Tuesday next,
the Hydra, tie unclean abomination will gasp
( in its death throes before the return of anoth-
er contest.
Men who will cast their votes for James
Lockhart at this election will with shame in
their faces confess it hereafter as thing to be
r,pented Of
I q, 4ho 9TH
day, speaking of Lockhart, their candidate for
Congress, in pretty much the same manner
in which the community speak Of a certain
candidate for Common Pleas Judgeship. He
himself turned Lockhart into ridlcule, hut,
said he, ''we have to unite on him since he is
our candidate" And this is the feeling Of a
large portion of that party. We ask those
men to be honest, to throw off party shackles,
to be governed by their consciences in voting.
and if they will only do this, Judge Lockhart
will after tomorrow, sink away to his native
oblivion, where he can for the remainder of his
days revel among his congenialities, free from
the scrutiny of public censors.
Vote for Morton, and let sober mind and
sober body preside over your state interests,
or else acknowledge that such men as Ashbel
P Willard can come to you stepped in whisky
and filth, and gull you with smooth sayings,
while his every ineament and motion gives
his tongue the lie
Vote for Conrad Baker, and have consci-
entious high toned gentleman of unimpeach-
able integrity to fill tie second post in the
State government, in preference to a man
whose school of morals has been the gamb-
ling table Go every. man to the polls and
vote.

Lockhart Voters.

Old Wings will not vote for Lockhart be-
cause, for twenty years he has denounced the
principles Of their party; because he has
slandered their noble leaders-and because,
now after they have gone to their graves in
peace, he is pouring out hypocriticaI praise on
their virtues, which in his eye before were the
most damning vices. r
Americans will not vote for Lockhart, be
cause until no,0 ache1 he needs their uoteS, he has
been their most bitter and INSCRIPTIONS oppo-
nent. His denunciations of their principles
were abusive above all others. He has de-
nounced them at home and abroad, by day
and by night, as midnight assassins,'' "secret
conspirators," "vile proscriptionists." No
epithets were too mean, no accusations too I'M
worthy for his tongue. But now, like fawn-
ing sycophant, he is trying to cajole them into
his support at any rate to present their CO.
operation for the support of Veatch
The true laborers of this district will not
vote for Lockhnrt because he will assist, if
elected, in carrying out the infamous policy of
Franklin Pierce, and Stephen A. Douglas,
making Kansas slave State if possible, and
thereby excluding the free white laborers of the
North.
But the incorporating and INSCRIPTIONS
Locofoco leaders-those who always vote
blindly for the nominee of packed conventions,
viii vote for Lockhart Those who obey com
mands of party cliques and political wire
workers will vote for Lockhart. Office seekers
and oflice-holders will vote for Lockhart--
Squatter SoUereigns, slavery extensionists and
trucking doughfaces will vote for Lockhart.
Border rufians and apologists for border
ruffians will vote fer Lockhart, and if elected,
he will faithfully represent their interests.

No "conadence Mem, in the Market.

Our proposition to sell two lots in Lamasco
at their cash value, as we have been offering
them, for cash, if Morton is elected or to make
them present to the purchaser if Willard is
elected, has caused considerable commotion in
the Old Line ranks here. Directly we had
left the city on the afternoon of the day the
proposal was made, a Democratic friend called
at our office to accept the proposal, knowing
very well we were not at home. Our Junior
told him he would close the bargain for US
But the gentleman went off, and in the next
days Enquirer published statement that he
could not find on the proper books any lots
assessed to US. This is strange as we have
regularly paid taxes on these lots for several
years. We assure him and all others interest
ed, we can give a good title to these lots, so we
trust that will not interfere with the sale of the
property, as we are anxious to sell it, and on
the terms proposed. Saturday evening we re-
turned home, and Immediately wrote letter
to our friend renewing the offer, and express
ing regrets for our absence when he called
The letter did not find him till night, when he
replied that he would take our proposal when
we called at his Office. We called by agent
yesterday morning, but could not find him.
We shall have an interview with him to-day,
tif it suits him, when he has either got to accept
or back out, and that without lodging. 1t is
very strange that we cannot have so liberal a
proposal accepted without so much trouble.
This proves our Old Line friends have no conf
dence whatsoever in Wizards election. Let one
of them dare make such proposal as we have
done, in the event of Wizards election, and
see if he has not fifty acceptors in as many
minutes He viii not be asked either, to hunt
