There is nothing truer than the old
maxim, " 1t is better to save money than to
earn money" Economy is the constant
thought of every individual who at all
values the comforts and social elevation
which the possession of money brings. Now
to every such one we have a word To say
which may in one single transaction save
you more money than you can earn III n
number of days. Nuke you- purchases at
the NEW YORK STORE. -....-
Giles & McPheeters buy goods of the best
quality. They select the latest and most
approved styles, and the sell goods for small
er profits than any house in the west ever
before has undertaken to do. Remember
the New York store sells goods of the best
quality-newest styles and at the lowest
prices. Cash-one price-and no deviation.

retire. from the Race.

Mr.. Gavitt, in his speech in Scott Town
ship on Thursday, said the county owed him
for services for which he had never asked
or received pay. He asserted positively that
if any one could show that he had ever re-
ceived any pay from the County Commls-
sioners for er-offeios services, he would re-
tire from the contest. Mr.. Foster, in his re-
ply, called the attention of our Sheriff to
this statement Mr.. Gayitt then reiterated
the assertion, laying peculiar stress upon
the cr-o6fcio. Mr.. Foster then drew the
copy of the Record on him as certified to by
VIM. Walker and published yesterday morn
ing. That little document fairly made the
Sheriff squat. Mr.. Gavitt is an honest
Sheriff. We can't doubt that after having
it certified to by so large a number OF wor-
thy citizens. Hence, we shall expect him
to withdraw from the canvass, or falsify his
pledged XeHd, and his honor.

To THE BELL AND EVERETT MEN OF INDI-
ANA: l take this opportunity of calling
y0pr attention TO a few facts that seems to
| ME TO be worthyaof your careful considera-
ton. | think it is now apparent that an
| attempt is to be made to transfer the Bell
>men of this State to the Democracy. You
are well aware that n resolution was adopt,
ed at our State convention, in August last,
laSainst all fusion with other political or
glnizstions, which certainly, I think,
means not only at the Presidential, but al
So at the State election. One reason assigned
is, that if the State election should result in
favor Of Lane, then Lincoln would certainly
carry the State in November l am aware
that many who desire Lanes election would
vote for. him at any other time. Let
me ask you what is to be gained by the cleo
tion of Hendricks ?-You will then have q
man for Governor who voted for the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, which was the
cause of the formation of the Republican
party. | am satisfied that under no circum-
stances can the Bell men OF Indiana be bene-
fitted by the election of the Democratic
State Ticket.
This October election is one of the most
important to the State of Indiana that will
take place for many years to come. | there
fore entreat you, as an Old Line Henry Clay
Whig, to reflect well before you vote the
Democratic State ticket on Tuesday next.
j think it is unfortunate for our party that
we did not nominate a full State ticket, but
as we have no ticket of our own, let US not
vote for men who do not represent our prin-
ciples, because We gain nothing by so vot~
ing. We had better not vote at all than to
do so. Many contend that it is important
that the Democratic State ticket should be
elected in order TO accomplish the defeat of
Lincoln in November. | do not for one,
think that our party was organized
for the purpose of aiding either the De-
mOcrats or Republicans. do not think it
is necessary that Indiana should go for
Hendricks to defeat Lincoln. Let us then
either vote the Republican State ticket, or
not vote at all Let us show our friends
in Kentucky that we are capable of taking
care of our State affairs without their ad
vice. And now, in conclusion, let me enc
treat you to vote for Bell and Everett in
November, even it we should not expect to
carry the State Bell and Everett are the
representatives of the only truly National
Party in this country, and let us, as true
Union men, stand by them first, last and all
the time. Yours respectfully,

Mem. State Elk. Com.

The man who has so highly distinguished
himself in this canvass by his insults TO the
supporters of Mr.. Lincoln, has at last been
taught little of decency. We are inform
ed that Mr. Gavitt on Thursday, in Scott
Township, declared that there were pure
patriots and honest men in the Repnblicaa
party, and besought the Lincoln men of
Scott to vote for him for Sheriff. w hen it
was charged upon him that he had said 'the
Republican party was black the hinges
of he'll" he most positively denied it How
utterly devoid of truth, how unscrupnlous
must be the man, how Strengthened and
dangerous must be his situation when he
can deny a fact so we'll known as chat, ut
tered time and again in the presence Of
hundreds. -
The friends of Lincoln know the insults
he has been so oficious to give them all
through the campaign, and now when he
sees that he is about to reap the well de-
served fruits of his labors and is begging
for their votes, they will not forget his ac-
tions. Did they not already know that he
was unworthy of his Office, the insults lie
has heaped upon them, their principles, and
their candidates would drive them from his
support.

EVANSVILLE IND, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 6. 1860

B We would respectfully call the at
tention of members of the Bell and Everett
party of Indiana to an article which we
publish to-day, from the Cincinnati Com
nlercial, signed by James @. Bryant, a MEM
ber of the State Executive committee of the
Constitutional Union Party. MI. Bryant
puts fourth some suggestions with respect
to the course to be pursued by the Bell men
at the State election, next Tuesday, which
are worthy of the consideration of every
member Of the party which he represents.
We bespeak for the article their candid
perusa!. Whilst political leaders in other
States are ofliciously directing them how
they shall act, and counseling them to aban-
don their principles and give their support
to candidates who have always been the
bitterest enemies of their organization, the
nominees of party which has heaped upon
them insults and opprobrium without stint,
and which now seeks to corrupt them into
an Endorsement of principles subversive and
fatal to their own, let them hear what one
of their own number, who lives among them
and understands clearly the political bear
ings Of the questions to be decided at the
State election, and their effect upon the in
terests of theiFparty, has to say upon asub-
ject which is of so much Importance.
