0T1he Sheriff's organ says: Willard S
in the best of spirits, and advises his friends to
bet the bottom dollar on his electioH." If this
is true of Willard, he is as hardened a rascal
as he is notorious BLACKBOARD. If he does
not knoa0 he has no possible chance for election
he is politically blind. But he is smart enough
to have very fair idea that his chances are
exceedingly slim-yet he advises his friends
to bet their last dollar on him. If many a
friend who tries that experiment does not curse
Willard after the election deeper than any Of
his opponents are in The habit of doing, we
shall be wofully mistaken. We ask them to
tehember this when the result of the election
is known. We advise them not to bet Oh
Wilard-indeed, not to bet at ALL Two
months ago, he privately gave up that he was
defeated Since then his prospects have by no
means become more encouraging.

Valuable aAid and Comfort

Mr.. +. j. Grund was to have delivered a
speech last evening at Apollo Hall, in German
From the Louisville journal of Thursday, we
make the following extract:
The notorious Francis j. Grund, pretty well
known as Washington letter-wrter, is or
has been making Buchanan speeches in fndi-
ana and Illinois. He isa German and unques-
tionably as corrupt and unprincipled rascal
as ever lived. He has some talent, but, in the
minds of all who know him or his reputation,
his name is synonymous with infamy. A few
years ago he walked up to Col. Benton in the
midst of several persons in one Of the rooms
of the Capitol, and, in TIE blandest manner
he could assume, extended to him his hand
mo, sir! no sir!" exclaimed the old Bullion
"Pll not touch your hand, siri ! despise you,
sir You are a scoundrel, sir! You are damnd
Iscoundrel, sir! Away with you, sirl' And
thereupon the Infatuated cid man made at him.
and the cowardly rascal retreated with pre-
cipitation that made the crowd shout with
merriment and scorn.
From this account of Mr. Grund, he is a
very proper person indeed to enighten the
people OF Evansville on the subject of politics.
Col. Benton's opinion Of men is generally worth
something. and as he isa supporter of Buchan
an, it ought particularly to be of some account
in treating of this man Grund.
FBy notice it will be seen that Zebulon
NJ. P. Carter, Esq, is candidate for Judge of
Court of Common Pleas We understand
zehulon has made very good carrier for the
Enquirer, and we are therefore fully pursuaded
r. :. o,.,I;H>l - ,-o,,. tho ind;a;oI or,,;,o
As former minister OF the Gospel, he can
throw christian grace over the position to
which he aspires. We are inclined to look
favorably upon the claims of Judge Carter
A series of letters which we have perused adj
dressed to "Cassena," convince us he is not
only up to snuff, but no niggard in love or law
Go it, Judge.

derful account of the Buchanier mass meeting

was a glorious affair, and terminated with elo-
quent speeches from some OF the gentlemen al

A Voice from the North

A Fillmore friend, and friend of Fillmore,
sending US more subscribers from Mahon,
Huntington Co., a0ay up North, thus writes:
although we live North of the national road,
feel happy to inform you that there are those
possessed of the true American spirit yet alive
in this section; and yet we are surrounded by
hordes of Fremonters who are ready to dis
courage those who feel willing to vote the
American ticket. Instance one case among
many: A candidate for Judge came to our
place and had the impudence to say there
was no electoral ticket for Fillmore; they had
all withdrawn, &C., &c. Now, Mr.. Editor, if
consistent with your rules and feeling, it would
do no harm to give them small amount of
political thunder from one of your batteries for
their lying speculations.
"a few days ago we raised neat ash pole
12O feet high, and unfurled to the breeze a
splendid American banner of red white and
blue. Above the flag is streamer with the
names of Fillmore and Donelson in large let
tiers, of which we are not ashamed We also
started Fillmore Club, and over fifty have
already signed the constitution, and pledged
themselves to vote for Fillmore and Donelson.''
