HP Let every nlan who has a regard for
the welfare Of the State--;lny stake in the
important questions that arc TO be decided
by oar next Legislature, vote for james L.
gard to PARTY, as the most competent man
in the two counties to represent and defend
the interests of this section of the State.
Let voters. remember that d, the future
management and safe keeping OF our large
trust funts-now amounting to four or five
millions-deyoted TO the support OF our
schools and the payment of our State debt
are to be provided for by judicious enact
ments. The whole revenue system of the
State is to be re-organized and re-enacted.
This is a subject in which not only. the
equality of the public burthens are to be
portioned to individuals hut allotted to the
separate counties and districts of the State
1t is a matter requiring mature Judgment
a thorough acquaintance with the various
species Of property and their relations to
each other, and II comprehensive knowledge
of the diversified interests of the whole
State aud its local and sectional condition
In all public assessments more or less inc
qualities and injustice are inevitable; the
highest ability aud the most unren1itting
care and labor are required in framing
revenue laws TO avoid serious wrong in
their operations upon individuals, classes of
the people and sections of the State Is
there any man in the two counties to whose
ability, knowledge, industry and integrity
the citizens can cntrust this great question
with more confidence than to james +.
Blythe? Is there any one in whom they
can confide more implicitly to protect the
interests of the State against the intrigues
of the political jobbers who design fastening
the Canal upon the State? Is there a man
more competent than he to frame a system
of usury laws, that shall meet the demands
of commerce, and yet protect the unfortun-
ate borrower from the demands for blood
from the Shylocks? Is there any one who
knows more thoroughly the reforms needed
in our judiciary; who is more thoroughly
persuaded of the necessity of increased COM
pensation TO secLre sound, able and indie
pendent Bench, whose decisions will carry
II moral force more potent to sustain and
execute the laws than the posse of the
sheriff. The whole Pocket demands the
election Of James f. Blythe, as champion
of its interests and rights, and in whose
character and talents the whole section will
feel price and safety. Let Posey and Van
derburgh answer this appeal for his service.

Mr.. EDITeR:-Among the charges brought
against Mr.. Gavitt by the Enquirer, is one
that he is incompetent for the duties of sIrer-
iff; and that while he held the Office he ex-
hibited his incapacity and neglect OF duty,
and the members of the Bar are called upon
to substantiate this statement. Messrs. Gar
vim and Seymour positively deny that there
was any delinquency on his part in the set
Element of the affairs of his office. And
there Is no attorney at the Bar who does not
know the promptand energetic manner with
which he enforced the rules of court and
discharged his duties. If voters are not yet
satisfied of this, let them ask attorneys be-
fore they go to the poll to-day.

BGy@ We have had occasion to inyesti-
gate the charges made against Mr.. Mcbride
of appropriating the funds of the Express
Company to his own use, and we regret to
say they are sustained by the books of the
Company and the records of the Court
Mr.. Mcbride allegation that he was prom
ised larger salary by the agent than he OBJ
tanned on settlement ofhis accounts, is an inn
putation upon the fairness and honor of the
Company, which he cannot sustain by any
proof. If any promise were smade by
any one of the agents, to warrant such ex-
pectations on the part of Mcbride, the we'll
known libcrality and justice of the Com
pany in all its dealings--especially with its
employees a full guarantee that the
engagement would have been fulfilled. The
Company have evinced no disposition to in
jure Mr.. Mcbride, notwithstanding their
loss by him, and it is ungrateful in him to
cast any imputation upon. the fairness and
honor. of the Company, by complaining
that it did not fulfil its engagements with
him. 'Hif 1853

JAMES f. BLYTHE.-The New Albany
7Iribunc, commenting on the nomination of
Mr.. Blythe for Representative, says:
We hope that Mr.. Blythe may be elected
he is an able and conservative man, and at
the present junctnre we need just such
men in our State Legislature. Col. Henry
S. Lane remarked to as the other day, in
speaking of Mr.. John S. Davis, candidate
for Representative from Floyd, 81 should
think your county should be proud to be
represented by such man." In like man
ner we say that Posey and Vanderhurgh
ought to be glad to secure the services of
such a man as Blythe. If men of the stamp
of James E. Blythe and John S. Davis, were
more frequently sent to the Legislature, re-

public affairs would be conducted in a diff

PRESIDENTIAL ArrocRAT.-Forney says:
- The doctrine of having the President to
make platforms and crceds, is an idea that
cannot endure i'll these times dogma
against which there must be a strong and
energetic protest i'll every quarter of the
country
The new doctrine of Niblack and the
Lecomptomites is, that the President is the
head of the party that his party is "the
government, and that, whatever the Presi-
dent designates and proposes, must be sus-
tanned without question by the party. If
this autocratic doctrine is to prevail, we
are on the verge of a despotism. 1t will
be seen by the votes this day cast, if the
freemen of the First Congressional District
endorse such slayish doctrines.

Forney made a speech in Montgomery
county, Pa few days since, in which he
used the following language:
Elm the DAYS when the Democratic party
was led BY its Jeffersons, its Jaeksons, ITS
Van Burens, its Folks, the cry was, that the
platform of the party shoud be sustained /
that what our candidate said in the canvass,
and we wrote in our National Conventions,
we should fulfil after, the election. But
what now is the cry? Now, the cry is,
."The President must be sustained now;
the cry is, that the President shall make our
platform; that he shall say what is our
creed that he shall tell us what to do; that
the President is to nominate our Legislators /;
that the President is to elect our mayors;
that the President is to be the Government.
Why, if this is so, gentlemen, we may as
we'll dispense with the cumbrous machinery
of elections, and allow the President of the
United States to be monarch. Louis Ma
poleon himself makes some show of repre-
sentative government he has what he calls
a Senate; he occasionally INDUCES his peo-
pie with the appearance true, it is merely
the appearance of popular election. But,
if the idea to which have referred is to be
carried out in this country, Louis Napoleon,
in the heighth of despotic authority, would
be a much more liberal governor of this
country than the President.
THE President must be sustained" is
only the sum of the Niblack platform. The
pledge he makes is " to sustain the Presi-
dent and he will do it right or wrong
Because I" he is our President; elected by
our party" every Democrat, he says, q mus
sustain the President, let him do what he
may. Let the result of the voting to-day
be rebuke of such Presidential niinikins
as Niblack, and lesson to teach them thai
the President is elected by the people tc
execute their will and not TO rule ocer then,

: EDITOR ENQUIRER In reply to an article
in your paper of Saturday last, relative to
the qualifications of Mr.. Gavitt as Sheriff, in
which reference is made to us in regard to
his inability to make the returns on Exccu-
tions in his hands as Sheriff We have to
say that we were employed by Mr. Gavitt
to do some business for him, in connexion
with the settlements of his business as Sheriff,
at the expiration of his term of office, and
not for the purpose of making returns to ex-
ecutions in his hands All the business
which we did for Mr.. Gavitt was done
while he was Sheriff of the County. The
services we rendered were not required in
consequence of any incompetency of Mr..
Gayitt as Sheriff. THos. +. GARvIN,5

B A writer to the New York Times
proposes the following plan to cxtingllish
fires on steamers:
Run steam-pipes on all the decks, the
whole length of the ships; fix to them,
from place to place, steam valves and unions
for movable pipes or hose, and, as soon as
an alarm is given, pour powerful, or sew
eral powerful streams of steam on the fire
which is sure to be thus subdued
Steam is, as every one knows, in all cases,
the best, in some, the only agent that will
put out the fire; and a steamship affords
such facilities to apply this agent that it is
incredible that it should not be resorted to.

Ray The friends of Judge Hovey are
confident Of his election and were never in
better spirits, than last evening, after re-
viewing the prospects of the canvas upon
the best information that could be obtained
from every part OF the district. They allow
a majority for Niblack in Knox, Of ESQ; in
Martin. OF 400; and in Dubois. of 500, and
then they expect to elect Horey by more
than 700 majority.
