la the face of the protests of the J0upnal
and of the charges which that paper makes
against Democrats, of laying plans to snug-
gle in votes at the approaching election, the
Black Republicans have already commenced
the infamous work of pipe laying" Large
numbers OF outsiders have already been
brought into Rush County, to remain till
after election, and help crush out Old
Lineism." They are scattered about in
squads of two to half dozen, and are pro-
vided with temporary employment to lull
suspicion We have been informed of one
instance where six of these imported voters
are employed on a single farm, for the ex-
press purpose of aiding the Black Republi-
cans in carrying the county. These T" voters &"
have all made their appearance within few
days, aud since poll of the resident voters
was taken.
Similar operations are on foot in Morgan
County. We can assure our friends that we
do not state these facts without authority.
Our opponents have become perfectly des-
perate, aud will not stop at any means, how
ever foul, to consumlnate their purposes.
Nothing but the most prompt and decisiy e
measures to foil them in their iniquity, at
every step, can prevent the villainous frauds
which they contemplate.
If the Democracy do rot wish to see them
selves cheated out of their just ard legal
rights let them make thorough canvass Of
every County, Town and School District
Let Vigilance Committees and Challenging
Committees be appointed, whose duty it tshall
be to ascertain who are legal voters and who
are net, ard to challenge every vote that is
doubtful. This is work that cannot be put
off with safety. Let every Democrat, from
now till the election, be vigilant and active
wherever action aud watchfulness is needed.
Work, work early, work late, work all the
time.

Tha NIpQar Party

In the city Of New York the Black Re-
publican party is emphatieally and literally
the niger party.
1t is said that there, are, in the city about
six thousand five hundred colored voters,
all of whom will vote for FREMONT. This
is more than the uss.asate of the Black Re-
publican vote cast at the election year ago,
in the city of New York. Unless the wliite
Black Republicans have, therefore, largely
increased within the last twelve months,
they are outnnmbered by their nigger
allies.

only l50 to 200 majority for WILSON in
Tippecanoe County. This is point blank

Was Henry Clay "a High way Rbber'
"A question for honest Whiss 40 an
la the National Intelligencer of yesterday,
Mr.. John Barney, whom we take for a know
nothing whig, is permitted to say of the Os-
tend manifesto and Mr. Buchanan
THE principles there asserted by him are
those of the highway rohber when he asserts
it duty, if Spain refuses to sell Cuba, that
we must take possession, because necessary
to our self-preservation."
Rather than accept Mr.. Barney's version of
the Ostend manifesto, let us quote the precise
words of that instrument upon the subject
brought in review They are as follows
"After we shall have offered Spain price
for Cuba, far beyond its present value, and
this shall have been refused, it will then be
time to consider the question, Does Cuba in
the possession of Spain seriously endangeI
our internal peace and the existence OF our
cherished Union Should this question be
answered in the affirmative, then by every
law, human and divine, we shall be justified
in wrestling it from Spain, if we possess the
power; and this upon the very same principle
that wonld justify an individual in tearing
down the burning house of his neighbor, If
there were no other means Of preventing the
flames from destroying his own home. I'M
der such circumstances, we ought neither to
count the cost nor regard the odds which
Spain might enlist against u.s."
Now let US learn whether this sentiment is
peculiar to Mr.. Buchanan and his associates
in the promulgation of that manifesto, or
whether they are not the sentiments of great
statesmen in both the great political parties
into which the republic has been for many
years divided on political subjects. In the
Life and Speeches of Henry Clay" by NAL
lory volume first, pages 207, 20S, may be
found the following pa sage from Mr.. Clay's
defence of President Madison's seizure of
West Florida.
at cannot be too often repeated, that if
Cuba on the one hand, and Florida on the
other, are in the possession of foreign mara
time power, the immense extent of country
belonging to the United States, and watered
by streams discharging themselves into the
Gulf of Mexico, &C.. &C., are placed at the
mercy of that power. | have no hesi-
tation in saying. that If a parent country will
not or cannot maintain its authority in a
colony adjacent to us, and there exists In it a
state of misrule and disorder menacing our
peace; ; and If, moreover, such colony, by
passing into the hands of any other power,
would become dangerous TO the integrity of
the Union, and manifestly tend to the sub
veriion Of our laws, We have right, upon
the eternal principle of self-preservation, to
lay hold upon it. This principle alone. in
depsndentf any title, would warrant our occu.
patton of West Florida"
Upon what plea is Mr.. Clay to be pro-
nounced innocent by those who denounce
NJ. Buchanan in terms so charitable and SO
dignifed ? Washington Union.

are concentrating all their best speaking talent
upon Pennsylvania, and are using money 10
an incredible extent to carry the State for
the Abolition Disunion candidates, we have
10 misgivings as TO the result either in 0cto-
Der or November. The assurances which we
receive, daily, through the press and other
wise, give unmistakeable evidence that the

combined factions with which they have 10
contend.
