We-ask the attention of our readers to the communication by^Mr. Simpson which will be found on the fi¥et page. We have been a school mate of. Mr. Clark and have known him for many years, and. can pledge the truth of his. staiement. We also knew Mr. Clark to be a Democrat.

There i£no avocation in life 110 matter how^bn^w* that does not require money or it% eqdiyoJe&t to caijry it oW with 'any degree of ^success. Take a few cases! The farmer who emphatically holds the highest position in life, who iai king of the vory soil over which he daily walks, by whose industry fcnil frugality, earths starving millions are clothed and fed, must have a roconipsnso forhis labor, must have money for bis 'produce. The Merchant must have money for his merchandise. The Mechanic for his ware, and so in all the business transactions of life. Without men were paid for their toil—'Without this circulating medium the wheels of business would stop, and the current of tradejwould cease to flow. But to come to the point at once. The paper Manufacturer must have money, for bis papei—he must pay for his Material, he must pay the hands under his employ. ?So with conducting a News Paper, everything about a printing officc costs money. Every sheet of paper costs money, every particle of of Ink costs money, every type that is set costs money, in fact every lick of work that is done about an office costs money. The Editor or the publisher, is constituted just like all other men in most particulars, he too must have food and clothes, lest lie die of cold or starvation and the world be deprived of half its light. With this short disertation oh money, we hope our friends will observe the "nub" to .it and call up and "see abody" with the "needful" in their pockets, the article which '/makes the mare go" the world over.

Guard the Polls.

Let immediate steps be taken to keep sacred the Ballot Box on the day of the election. See to it that no illegal vote is polled. Remember the monstrous fraud that was practiced upon you last fall.— Let none but actual citizens vote. Let the Old Liners of Montgomery County remember that to day eyery legal voter in the county is known. Lot them beware of leading to the polls those who have 110 right to vote. These things are known.— Wc 8av again let Old Liners beware.

\£5rBy our next issue we will bo able to give a full account of the great Battle Ground Demonstration. Be patient friends and you shall hear it all. We look for more than a hundred thousand people on the Ground to-day.

Hurrah for Free Kansas, Free Speech, Free Press and Fremont.

jJSTOur eyes were blessed the other day with the light of a "real National Whig." Ele was mousing about arm in arm with a Pro-Slavery Sectional Old Liner, trying to creep into the Sheriff Office. He told us confidentially that if he was elected that he had no doubt but the Union would be safe. Hurrah for Canine, down with Misuer.

jEcp-Citizens of Montgomery County remember the County Fair which comes off on next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Lay aside politics for a few days, and let us make the Fourth Annual Fair of Montgomery County the most interesting oshibition of the labor and skill of onr people than any former one.

The Southern Pro-Slavery wing of the Old Line party do not wish to disguise it.

The Richmond Enquirer the leading exponent, of Southren Democracy, boldly declares that it is a sectional party and a unit on the Slavery question. How can the Old Line party be otherwise than a sectioilal party when its whole strongth lies in the South, and that pretty evenly divided between the Americans and the Buchanan Democracy? How can it bo otherwise than a disunion party when the whole South says she is ready to secede, "and if dissolution must come, we are prepared for it." ,, ,-,rt*

The Charleston Mercury already admits that Fremont will be elected, and admonishes the southto. prepare immediate!}' for dissolution. The South is not alone in her threats of dissolution, the miserable remnant of Pro-Slavory Old Liners in the North re-echo the howl, from every hill top, and from every valley, yea from the variest Old Liner down to Franklin Pierce the same stale old howl is heard to proceed from his pointed lips, and yet they say they are the 'Xalional, Union saving party." O! what Union saving savers these Old Liners arc!. Verily they will save the Union!

How can they charge us as being a sectional party when the platform on which our party stands, breathes the very sentiments 0 the immortal Declaration of Independence, when it is as broad as the Constitution of our Country, and strong enough for every freeman in America to stand upon? Such a charge is as false as the deepest pit of hell, and as black as the heart of him who asserts it, and in to the teeth of him who is so far lost to truth to honesty, WE hurl the foul charge back again as the vilest

the Republican party, the constitution and the Union. a

Rally! Rally!

Tom Osborn, informs us that he will speak at the school house generally known as Davis School house, six miles 60uth west of this city on Tuesday evening next at candle lighting. Turn out! turn out!

jlSpBowen lies, and lies wilfully when ho declares that Maj. Mace gives up the District. On the contrary Maj. Mace has offered to bet 81,000, on the District, $1,000, on Morton and 81,000, on Fremont. Will any of the Old Liner except this Proposition"." If so, send in your names.

jggrBowen says in regard to Jim Wilson's meotings. The people no longer tlock in crowds to hear hi's ravings. At Alamo, a few days sMce, where he hod been announced for two weeks previous to speak, he i»A5 greeted with a crowd thai could all have been hauled away in a two-horse wagon.

We pronounce the above an unmitigated false-hood—not one word of truth is contained in the above six lines.

Jim Wilson had made no announcement, to speak at Alamo, neither was he there at the timereferedto. "When willBowen learn to speak the truth?" When the forked lightnings of heaven play around him so fast as to induce him to suspicion that their migbt possibly be a God, and that he had at some time uttered the solemn declaration that "all liars shall have their portion in the lake that burnetii with fire and brimstone."

Will the true-hearted liberty loving freemen of Old Montgomery respond to the invitation by sending a monster delegation from this County. Col.

Let there be a general rally of the people. Bovven & Co., are earnestly invited to attend the meeting.. Will yon be on hand Charley? I

Meeting at Ahtmo.

On last Wednesday we had tHe "pleasure of attending a very large and enthusiastic gathering at Alamo. Never in all our life have we seen the fires of Republicanism burning brighter than now in old Ripley. The enthusiastic multitude was addressed by Dr. Labaree and John A. Stine, in able and convincing speeches. Their efforts were well received by all who heard them. Judging from the enthusiasm that manifested itself on the occasion, we have no fears of old Ripley, and were led to the gratifying conclusion that Old Lineism in that Township was beautifully winking out. The Republican ball down there is gathering strength at every revolution'. Set down old Ripley as all right.' She cannot, she will not prove recreant to the cause of freedom. Hurrah for Ripley! Hurrah for Fremont!

SMITH AND VOORHEES.—Caleb B. Smith spoke last night to a crowded Court House. He is a most powerfully eloquent man, but as reckless as eloquent. Dan Voorhees will demolish mueh of his pretty rhetoric to-night when he answers Mr. Smith at the same place.—Laf. American.1 "Great Daniel Webster little Voorhees" demolishing Caleb B. Smith Drain the Pacific with a seive!—Push back the Mississippi with a dung-fork!—Batter down Gibralter with a pop-gun!

Upon the whole Hezekiah S. McCollum is a leetle the softest democrat ever exported out of New York, but we had not yet supposed he was so superlatively green as the above extract from the American most conclusively shows him to be. Does the fellow wear a strait jacket?

""'Indians! Indians!

Duiingtlie past week, a miserable remnant of Kansas Indians, has been encamped in the neighborhood of town. Our citizens have been much amused at their simple native habits, for they seem to retain them and practice them, as they were handed to them by their fathers. They are truly the decendants of the natives of this country. They seem to be on a begging excursion, and from what we can learn have been making it pay during their sojourn with us.

BRAG! BRAG!!

The Old Liners are now resorting to the same pld'mod? of throwing off the appearances of defeat. They !«e about the same language they did in '54, wbeii they weut up Salt RivAhorse, foot, and dragoon. Their only consolation now is bragging or in other words, down-right lying. They thing by resorting to such means to stimulate their sinking and dying hopes yet a little longer. But they know that their doom is fixed, that "up Salt River they must go" as certain as fate. Go it, Old Liners!

MSP An "Old Jackson Democrat" wri ting to the Cincinnati Commercial fom Greeucastle in this State, wishes to know if James B. Clay took off that hollow from tho Battle-ground in which Gen. Harrison hid himself during the figbt, as charged by the democracy in 1840, aud if so, if it is his intention to manufacture it into walking canes? "Old Jackson Democrats" about Greencastlc are very imberlinent.

B"-a4r We understand that the Old Line Border Ruffian, Pro-Slavery, Free Whiskey meeting held at Alamo on Saturday last, was a miserable fizzle, eompared with the efforts made to get it up. John Lee, Dan Voorhees and Lew Wallace repeated the same old speeches to the unterrified of old Repley. As usual at such gatherings, mucb bad Whiskey was the ruling element of the occabion.

Jones Hotel.

We would recommend to the travelling community this celebrated Hotel, known as the Jones Hotel, LafaVette, Ind. Mr. Mason, the proprietor, spares no pains in making his guests comfortable, and happy, as we can testify truly and honestly*

I A 1 BOSTON, Sept. 26. The Republicans of the Seventh Congressional District yesterday nominated N. P. Banks for re-election.

.r From the Richmond Entire. Free Love and Fremont. It is with reluctance, with pain, with disgust, that we advert to this revolting subject. Southern presses, restrained by a healthy, moral, religions and conservative public opinion, do not dare call in question the common concerns of morality, the truth of Christianity or the obligations of law and government... What then?— When these things are questioned and assailed at the North, shall we remain silent because reply to their assaults may tinge the cheek of modesty with a blnsh, or indurate and perplex the delicate minds of youth? No, let us give strength and stability to virtue, even, at the sacrifice of its shrinking sensitiveness.

Since the days of the first French Rev olution regular and successful assaults have been making on Christian marriage, male and female continence and chastity, and on womanly modesty and virtue. Incest, licentiousness, polygamy, piomiscuous concubinage. have been advocated in theory and inaugurated in practice. Every radical and reformer, but especially the women, deem the throwing off the restraints of modesty and marriage, a "sine qua non In many portions of Germany and France female virtue, if not unknown, is certainly esteemed vulgar and discreditable. At our North every shade of the Black Republican party, more or less, repudiates Christian marriage and male and female modesty.— Fremont has been selected as their candidate, chiefly because his name, his antecedents, and his life, set at defiance the ordinary notions of parental and material authority, and of female virtue and subordi nation. IIi& wife, a respectable lady, is worshipped above himself because she indulged in a childish caprice, at the expense of violating the commands and lacerating ths hearts of tender parents. He is a hero because he is the "bastard son of a French fiddler."

The birth and growth of Mormonism at the North, would alone show that they are amongst -the most sensual people in the world. The popularity and vast circulation of Greeley's Tribune would itself show the same thing,»and also prove that every moral, religious social and political duty was in discredit with the isms of the North. The saloon of Free Love, set up by Andrews in the midst of the city of New York and approved, frequented and patronized by the "Letter classes," shows that all have grown restive under the restraints of marriage, continence and chastity. At a village in Oneida county, iucest is made a religious duty, and practiced with the approbation of the surrounding population.— Gwen, and Andrews, and Greeley start or suggest hundreds of settlements, where wife and children, as well as common property, are more or loss in common. Marriage has dwindled to a mere temporary partnership, contracted with as little form, forethought or ceremony as the purchase of a calf. Women wear masculine attire, preach infidel sermons, mako political speeches, abuse the constitution and the marriage tie, and yot do not lose caste in society. We solemnly declare, after mature deliberation and investigation, that we believe Fremont is run quite as much as T-TO anti-marriage and aj^i-female virtue caniL'1-'"-0

^ie anti-slavery candidate.

Will tiiC conservative press of the North, the old Federalist.8/ ^ie old-line Whigs and the Democrats say whether wo sf.'ite our

propositions too broadly? ,x

FILLMORE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Indianapolis, Sept. 27, 1856, y. At a meeting of the Executive Committee I of the friends of Fillmore and Donelsou, in

Indiana, held at Indianapolis on Wednesday the 24th September, 1856, the follovying resolutions were adopted:

Besolved, That the statements made by certain newspapers, to theeffect that the friends of Fillmore and Donelson, in this State, have united with those of Fremont and Dayton, and will support the same electoral ticket with them, is not true but, on the contrary, that we have our own electoral ticket, composed only of Fillmore men, and intend to support that ticket and no other, without union or fusion with any other party.

Resolved, That the Chairman of this Committee cause this resolution to be published and circulated as extensively as possible. I'

"A. H. DAVIDSON,'Chair\n&n.

THE FEELING AT WASHINGTON.—"Inspector" telegraphs from Washington to the New York Courier and Enquirer, as follows: x,

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, is here so also is Speaker Banks. Our election news is more glorious than ever.— Pennsylvania is one of the most certain Republican States in the Union. We calculate on over forty thousand majority in Illinois. Indiana is perfectly safe. The Central Committee claim the entire Congressional delegation, saVe one member.

WHICH IS THIS SECTIONAL?—'The Republicans havo carried Iowa, the extreme Wesr tern State. They have carried Vermont the, extreme Northern State and they have carried Maine, the extreme Eastern State, while the Buchaneers have only caned a few Southern States. The North, the East and the west go for Colonel Fremont the South for Buchanan. The Repuplicans have three points of the compass, while the Buchaneers have but oxie .plainly showing^ that. J}hn C.

A FART'df the.members of the bogus Legislature were NOT even residents of Kansas at the time of the election. The members of this]ALLEGED Legislatur were elected by not less than 4-921 illegal voters who invaded the Territory, armed.with instruments of death, and drove the actual resident voters from the polls!!—so that only 1,410 legal votes were cast at the March election, 1855. The census 0 Feb.,1,85®vsh0vy^ed that.there wore but 2,900 legal voters in the Territory, and yet' 6,831 votes were cast. Look at these FACTS. Arid in connection with these facts, remember that the old line pro-slave-! ry Convention at Cincinnati, declare there "unqualified approbation of the measures and poliey" of Pierce as expressed in the above Message!! wherein he declares that he "will exert the whole power" of the Executive "to vindicate the local" laws of Kansas.

But this is not all, James Buchanan has given a solemn pledge to support, and carry out, and maintain the same measures and the policy, by endorsing the whole Cincinnati Platform, which, among other things, contains the following "unqualified approbation of the measures and policy" of Pierce's Administration.—Bjuone County Ledger.

POLITICS AND THE LADIES.—A new novelty in the dress line has made its appearance in the shape of Fremont and Dayton calicoes They are unusually pretty and are much favored by the ladies. Running through one of the stripes are the words "Fremont— Dayton repeated indefinitely. The gener-1 al effect is such however that they would hardly be noticed except upon a close examination.

'I^HE great popularity which Moffat's Life JL Pills and Phoenix Bitters have attained in consequence of the extraordinary cures effected by their use, renders i| unnecessary for thd. proprietor to enter into a particular analysis of their medical virtues 0 properties. Having been more than twenty years before the public and having the united testimony of, more than Three Millions of persons who have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect health by them, it is be-/! lieved that their reputation as the best vegetable-' medicine now before the public, admits of no dispute. In almost every city and village in the United States, there are many who are ready to testify to their cfficacy in removing disease, and giving to the whole system renewed vigor and health.

In cases of Scrofula, Ulcers, Scarvey or Eruptions of the skin, the operation of the Life Mecicines is truly astonishing, often removingin a few days, every vestige of these loathsome diseases, by their purifying effects on the blood. Fever and Agile, Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Plies, and in short most all diseases, soon yield to their curative properties. No family should be without them, as by their timely use much suffering and expense may be saved. Prepared by
