IMPORTIIG VOTERS.

\Srn

•arft—ntit* "ftinoiig' those who are

over making a hobby of this thing of importing votes, with the view of exCiting prejudice but at present, we apprehend there is great danger of an attempt to carry both Indiana and Illinois for I)ouglas by importing votes from States regarded as certain for Lincoln. We have good reason for believing that the Central Committees of several States have resolved upon making a bold effort of this nature. For months past they have been trying every possible means to effect a union of the opposingfactions to defeat Lincoln they have endeavored to unite parties as variant as light and darkness they have aimed at every possible coalition. Failing in this, because the people could not be transferred by politicians, they have resorted to threats of disunion, of secession, of open resistance to lawful au[thority they have resorted to every low. disreputable, dishonest, and corrupt means to destroy confidence in the

Republican party. Failing in this, and obsorving that the Republican party is still becoming stronger and stronger, as a last resort, they are trying the game of importing votes intc every township in the State, to defeat if possible, the election of Mr. Lincoln.

B&.The Republicans boast loudly how easily they will whip in the South if they dare to peaceably withdraw from the Union History of the "feeble colonies," fcc. The Constitution adopted for the governing of these States guaranteed the rendition of fugitive slaves to their masters. This clause in the Constitution has been violated repeatedly by the Republican party, and whose accession to power will be the subverting of that instrument, thus destroying atonce all union between the States, and leaving the South no alternative but to basely submit or withdraw."—Review. —Do the Republicans boast any louder than Douglas did in Virginia, Vermont, Illinois and Iowa, or than he did in the Senate last winter? You know very well Mr. Review, that the Republicans do not expect any "whipping in" of the South to be necessary, neither do we expect or fear any withdrawal from the Union. No one does, except a few cowardly doughfaces of the North, who lack the moral courage to avow and maintain the principles of their git it lender, upon this subject of secesi ion Dliis clause in the Constitution (fugitive slave clause) has been violated repeatedly by the Republican party." Has it? When and where was it violated by the Republican party? We dare you to the proof! lias it been violated in Indiana, Illinois or Ohio? The two former States have been Democratic, and have had all the power in the hands of the Democracy ever since the law was passed, until very recently and in Ohio you well know, or might know, that the law has been so faithfully executed that freemen. born and raised upon free soil, arc now dragging through a slave life by means of its operation We may have more to say hereafter upon this subject: suffice it at present, to say just this, to you Charles, that when 3*011 wrote that line, you wrote a deliberate, malicious and unmitigated falsehood and that too in order to bolster up the sinking cause of a party, whose great leader you are too cowardly to uphold in the most manly sentiment lie has uttered during his peregrinations for the Presidency.

TUESDAY NEXT.

Republicans of Montgomery, are you ready for the conflict on Tuesday next? Think not you will have an easy victory! Remember that this is the most important election we have had since the formation of our Government. Let the voice of your triumphant shouts hush in eternal silence the clamors of disunion, which ever and anon come up from portions of the old line Democracy!

WORK,

YOURS!

AND TIIK VICTORY WILL BE

SENTENCED.

We see from the Lafayette Courier, that Win. Blue and John Montgomery, two of the counterfeiters recently arrested in that city, were sentenced on Saturday last, by Judge Test, of the Circuit Court, to imprisonment in the Penitentiary at hard labor, for the term of two years each. Blue is the individual, after imprisonment, who refused food of any kind, and who appeared to be bent on starving himself to death.— Hard labor for two vears in the penitentiary will be very apt to bring him to his senses, and may learn him that it is better to labor for an honest living than to obtain it by circulating bogus coin.

Banner Presentation. The Republicans of this count3* had a gala time 011 Saturday evening last, at the court house, on the occasion of the presentation of the Flag awarded the Wide-Awakes of Walnut township for their gallant work at the October election—the banner township of the county. The meeting was opened b}* an interesting and \vitt3' speech of about one hour, b3* I. W. Hart. Esq., of Attica after which, and in behalf of the Wide-Awakes of Crawfordsville, John M. Butler, Esq., in a few pertinent remarks, presented the banner, which was received, and responded to by* Mr. G. T. Dorscy, jr. Hon. James Wilson, was next called, but declined speaking on account of the lateness of the hour, but announced that he would address them at length upon the political issues of the day, on next Saturday evening, either at the court house, or at McClelland's Hall, as the}' might see proper. The meeting then adjourned with three enthusiastic cheers for Lincoln & Hamlin, Wilson, ITart, and the Wide-Awakes of Walnut township.

ENKRAL ACKSON AND KOROE QUALITY.—The old Constitution of Tennessee, adopted in 17%, made no distinction among citizens on account of color. All free males over 21 years could vote. Gen. Jackson was a member of that Convention and voted for the "negro equality" clause, and under it the free negroes of Tennessee all voted at eveiy election for many years, and until a new Constitution was framed. —Who are in favor of negro equal it3* now? Docs the old-line party of the present day profess to be followers of the brave old hero, Gen. Jackson? or when did tluy desert his principles?— Echo answers "Hurrah for Jackson!"

Ciian^ed Hands.

The "Parke County Republican," which has been under thc control of Messrs. Magill & Kline, for the last few 3*ears, Ave notice, has passed into the hands of Mr. Madison Kceney, as publisher and proprietor. The Republican in years past, has been a most excellent Republican paper, and we trust—with the aid of Mr. Magill, as associate Editor—our bachelor brother may be able to increase the Republican in point of interest—(which b3* the wa3* will be nccasy task)—and make a good thing of it generally.

The Governor of Mississippi proposes to punish the North for electing Lincoln 1)3' lc\ying dutyon Xortliern manufactures carried into that State.— Perhaps the Governor will be good enough to turn his attention to the ninth section of the Constitution, a clause of which reads pretty closely like this:-

Xo tax or duty shall be laid upon articles exported from any State. Xo preference shall be given b3r any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one State over another nor shall vessels bound to or from oneState be obliged to enter, clear 01* pay duties in another.

A Word to Douglas 3tei». Under thc above caption, the Chicago Press and Tribune has thc following AVC

considered reflections:

Since thc da3* Douglas was nominated, we have contended that he had

110

possible char.cc for thc Presidency, and that thc correctness of our calculations would be demonstrated long before the time of the election. Xot this only, we have said and still maintain that there are, in the State of Illinois alone 20,000 Douglas men who hate slaveiy. who hate the insolent domination of the South, and who ought to vote thc Republican ticket as the most direct and efficacious method of breaking down thc power of the Oligarchy by which the government has been seized, thc Democratic party divided, and the vciy existence of the Union threatened. Our predictions in regard to Douglas' strength and chances are more than verified by thc result of the Pennsylvania and Indiana elections and now wc appeal to the frecsoil elements in thc Douglas party to so cast their votes that they nun* not be wasted 011 a candidate who will not carry a State, and that they may tell with thc greatest ctt'ect for the destruction of that dangerous and treasonable Breckinridge faction. We mean that, though tlicv may earnestly desire Mr. Douglas'"sucecss, though they may admire the man, and though the3* may stand bv thc principles that he enunciates, it is"their duty, inasmuch as he is out of the wa3",to make a choice between the two candidates with whom the contcst lies, and vote for that one whose election would best promote the material interests of thc country and the growth and ascendency of that idea to which all Northern men should hold fast.— In a word, that thc3' should give their suffrages to Lincoln, and bear him into the Presidential chair with a degree of unanimity that will astonish the propagandists of slaveiy, and put an end at once to all thought of resistance to the wise, just and economical administration of which he will be the head

Breckinridge to

any man in the field will tell them to persevere to the end, and to struggle for a victory in Illinois, and a like victory in Xew York! But what, we ask, is to he gained ly all this? Suppose Xew York carricd for Fusion, and I Hi nois for Douglas—what then? Why, the election goes into the House' where Douglas has but a single State, and where Breckinridge would surely win. or to the Senate where Lane would cany off the prize. Arc the Douglas men of free-soil instincts content with this prospect? Was it to pulverize their leader, elect his fiercest and bitterest opponent, and give a new lease of power to the Lccompton dynasty, that they rent the old party in twain at Charleston, and still more

widely

dissevered the

fragments at Baltimore? Xo! wc believe in sincerit37 and earnestness of thc rank and file and that nothing but their hatred of slavery extension by the Federal Government, and of thcrapacit3* and insolence of the politicians of the South, has forced them into measures by Avhicli the Democratic party has been divided. They cannot now humiliate themselves by accepting the Slave Code, the Slave Trade, and Intervention for propagating slavery, as the basis of their political action.— There are those who will but we appeal from them to thc twenty thousand of whom

speak—the men to whom

freedom of the Territories is desirable to whom the ro-opening of thc Slave Trade is a crime of monstrous proportions—to whom, Avhen the contest is narrowed doAvn to Lincoln and Breckinridge, as it 110AV is, Honest Old Abo and bis constitutional policy will be a thousand times more ncceptablo. than the incipient treason ancl the despotic dogmas of his only opponent. To all such we hold out the-inv.it'ati'011 to come.

We have but a single motive. Lincoln will be elected. There is 110 force on earth that can now change tho determination of thc people to intrust power .to his hands. But as Ave have before said, it is necessary, for promptly putting down tlrc mi 111eri

clisun-

J^-The following very well put argument Ave find in the Selma (Ala.) Sentinel (Douglas):

Our friends wTduld dissolve the Union. because Lincoln is elected. They Avould dissolve it, because we cannot get an equal share in the territories. Would a dissolution bring back the territory?

But our slaves escape to the Xorth. Well, AVC have a fugitiAro slave law, United States Courts, commissioners and marshals.

But they won't enforce the LIAV. But they do enforce it in some, in many cases.

But the3' ought to enforce it in nil cases. So they ought, but what then?

Wl-y, dissolve the Union. Dissolve thc Union, and you dissolve the fugitive slave law. Do this, and 3*ou convert every State into a Canadian province. You could not of right demand your slaves in Arkansas. When did 3*011 ever recapturo a slave from Canada 01* Mexico?
