CITY OF EVANS VILLTCl
FRIDAY MOltXISG. NOV. 3. . 1 Acknowledgement. H'ereturn our thanks lo our obliging friend, Mr. TJuhn L Taylor, for late Louisville papers. He hate had no erstem mail this week, and the favors of our friends are most opportune. OrnciAL. The oßcUl vote of Pennsylvania has been rereWed'at last and it is as follows: Johnson, whig, 168,523; Longstreth, locofoco, it59.22l Johnson's, majority 302. We have also received the ofhVial rote of Ohio, as follows: Ford, whig, 143.6CC; Weller, locofoco, 143,321 Ford's majority 345. RASCALITY BREWING. We again'caution our whig friends and the friends of Gen. Taylor to keep on the look out. There is rascality breicing among th Zocoocos. and we tell our friends that unless the leaders of that party are closely watched thf y will succetd in effecting some some swindling scheme or other to cheat the people. They are holding secret and midnight mectiugt. and we all know that it can be for no good. If they were disposed to act fairly and honestly they would not resort to such a course; but they well know that their acts will not bear the light. . . ' " Night before last the locofoco club held a meeting in the lower engine house, and after one or two attempts at speeches, our county Auditor rose and announced that there wrre I wo or three whigs present and motred that they be asked out, which was accordingly done, and the club then went to work with closed doors to mature their plans for the contest. What these plans are we know not; but every one who is acquainted with the workings of the locofoco leaders hereabouts of late can readily guess. They can not mean fairly or they would not be ashamed or afraid to let their acts be known. The w higs resort to no such course. All their meetings are open and aboveboard, and all parlies are invited to be present at them. We learn that this locofoco meeting appointed three members of the party to be present at each, township. ; What the duty of these visitiug committees are we can't fay, but we caution all, and especially the country, to be on their guard. The greates1
exertions are being made by the locofocos to
carry this county, and they will stop short of
no unfair means to accomplish their purpose
ImOok veil to your tickets. We have not the
least doubl false tickets will be put in circulation by our opponents. But watch them
close be ready at all points, a and we have
no fear of the result. Friends of Gen. Taylor
have your eyes open.
Sentence or Smith O'BatEN. Mr. O'Brien lias been senteuced to the highest penaltv
known to the End ih lair. It is hnirible' lo
think that no where but in that unhappy coun-
' try could such a sentence - be passed, and it U
to be hoped that the British authorities w ill re
cover their senses in time to forbid this judicial murder, lie was brought into court on
Monday, and the judge having assumed '.tin
black cap, and amid a silence at once solemn
and painful, proceeded as follows: That sen
tence is, that you, William Smith O'Brien, be taken from whence you came, and be thence
drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution.
and there be hanged by the neck until you be
dead; that afterwards your head shall be. ser
ered from youx body, and your body be divided
into four quarters, to be disposed of asherMaj

your soul! MiLnxEss of the CuoLOA. One encourag

LOOK OUT.
- It is hardly necessary to caution democrats, for they know by. past experience, that on the ere of the elections, it Is the Aaöif of whig scoundrels to set on foot any kind and number
of lies for the purpose of deceiving and cheat
ing the people. Even men w ho belong to
"the chunh, and who protesstobe crmstians, sometimt said and abet such villainy. No lie is too bare-faced for such men to set afloat and swear to. Lood out for them, democrats, not so much on our own account, as to prevent honest whigs from being gulled by them. Lookout, too, for spurious tickets. We should not wonder to see tickets headed Cass and Butler, with the names of the whig electors following them. A man who votes such a ticket will be cheated. Traitors, who gave the Mexicans all the "aid and comfort' they dared to, and who hurra for the man that tried to disgrace our fellow citizens and the State, will do anything that is mean, treacherous and villanous. Look out for such wretches, we raj! State Sentinel. In reply to this raving of a dirty locofoco press, the State Journal remarks as follows:
"In utter despair at the prospect of the election of Gen. Cass, his supporters resort to the most low and groveling abuse of those w ho w ill not aid in his elevation to the Presidency.
It is evident that such feelings prompted the publication of the above article in the last
State Sentinel. It is said, that "whom the
Gods intends to destroy, they first make mad.
Who else than a madman would pen such ra
vings as the above? Whig3, look at the epithets applied to you, for daring to call in ques
tion the propriety of electing Mr. Cass to the
Presidency! You are denounced as 'scoun
drels and "wretches, willing to commit per
jury to accomplish your purposes. If the whigs
of Indiana are not aroused to increased efforts by- such denunciations, they are not made of that stuff their fathers of the Revolution were. Arise, put on your armor, and go forth determined that the vote of Indiana shall be given
against the man whose advocates thus libel you, and it will be done. ,
"The whigs of Indiana would scorn to suc
ceed by any other than the most honorabte
means. They have not, nor will they ever re
sort to any such means as those intimated in
the above article. The charge against the
whigs of a design to use spurious tickets is
made for the purpose of covering up some act
which the leaders of locofocoism have in contemplation. In 1640, they used spurious tick
ets Iff this very city. At that time they prin
ted tickets with Gen. Harrison's name and
the names of the Senatoral electors at the top,
and with the names ot the locofoco district
Electors on the remainder of the ticket. The fraud was discovered and exposed on the mor
ning of the election. What w as then done
may be again attempted by the same men, and we caution the friends of Gen. Taylor to read their tickets before depositing them in the bal
lot-box, so as to be certain that they contain
the names of the proper electors.
POST UP THE BOOKS!
If there beany that doubt the election of
the People's Candidate for the Presidency, let them look over the result of The recent elections:
MAINE. We have met the enemy, "though five limes
our numbers, and the result is a drawn battle

VERMONT. "The Star that never sets shines out as ever

CONNECTICUT. The recent town elections show a large whig
gain, leaving no doubt but what "Old Zack" is expected there by the locofocos about the ,7th November next.-
MARYLAND.
The Whigs have gained on the popular vote, and in the Legislature, which continues large

The night is almost passed the dawn of a glorious morning is breaking! ! . .Casualties is France. The Living age compiles from French documents some interesting statistic of casualties iuFrauce. The number drowned in that country in the year 1846 was 3S61; crushed to death by horses and vehicles 624; fatal railroad accidents 45. A very favorable comparison for the railroads. The cabriolets of Paris make the greatest number of cases for the hospitals.' Of the suicides in 1846, over 100 were of persons under 21 years of age.
The Bat" Solling Old Zack Coming. The gr?atfwssss meeting held id New Orleans on the evening of the 23rd, says the Picayune, was a head and shoulders above anything that
has occurred since the commencement of this
canvass. Long before the hour announced for
the organization of the meeting arrived, large
bodies of men began to gather in the space immediately in front of the spacious platform
erected to accommodate the officers and speak ers. The sidewalks were thronged with spec . . l.i a'l . '
taiors, ami tne oaicomes on euner side o
the street were alive with the beauty of the
city. The meeting was organized by calling A. C
Bullitt to pretide, assisted by twenty Vice
Presidents from each of the three municipal!
ties. After the President had explained the
object of the meeting, 0. P. Jackson was call
ed upon to address the immense assemblage.
Whilst he was yet speaking the different clubs came in procession, to swell the throng. An
they filed into the arena in front of the speak
ers stand they were welcomed by shouts from
the dense mass of persons on the streets, and
by the waving of handkerchiefs, by the ladies
on the surrounding balconies. The Union
Glee Club, which had already arrived and ta
ken places on the plaaform, also joined in the
welcome by singing some of their most spirit
ed songs. The spectacle as the clubs marched
and countermarched, with banners, and tran
aparancies, in order to get near the staud, was
one of the most beautiful and imposing it
were possible to imagine.
But not one twentieth part of the concourse
of persons could get within ear-shot of the or
a tor. The Fillmore Rangers, as they always
do, made a beautiful display, and the various
ward clubs, and a club from Lafayette, and
the Steamboat Rough and Ready Club also
added greatly to the pageant.
But the most interesting feature of the
evening was the new club composed of citi
zens of Spaniah origin. They numbered
some five hundred persons, all in uniform and
carrying torches or transparances. About two
hundred of them were mounted. Those on
foot carried transparencies. As this club
made its appearance it was hailed with the
nost enthusiastic welcome. They were a fine
body of men and would command admiration
any where.
After the clubs were conducted to their
appointed places Mr. O. P. Jackson conclud ed his speech, which waa animated and elo-
The Glee Club then sang another song, and
the meeting adjourned to join the proces
bion, which marched through our principal
streets, The enthusiasm of the assemblage had a
cot bevoni the speaking point, it was
an evening to remember by all who partki pated in or wiluessed the proceedings.
BENTON AGAINST CASS.
Every body recollects with what contempt Bt nton was accustomed to sneak of Cas a
few years aco in the Senate. When the Ore-
eon treaty was under discussion in Ihe Senate
Mr. Uenton made a sjieecn, at wmcn um ne cut Cass for the simples, as he termed it, by
which operation, he said, simpletons wer
made to see clear. The Washington City Bat tery says that this speech shows the real esti inatiou'in which Mr. Senator Benton hold Mr. S-nator Cass and his friends. -This day.'
said he, in the speech to which we refer, "is the most humiliating of my Senatorial life" Wherefore? "I have felt for the American Senate when lhate seen a member (Lewis
Cass) clinging to error, ano endeavoring
TO KEEP THE PEOPLF.IN ERROR. EVEN ATTHE RISK. OF WAR. by endeavoring to do away the plain words of a treaty; by garbling and
mutilating scraps of speeches to depreciate another Senator, when the great buestion was
ONE OFTHE PEACE AND HONOR of the
country, in the presence of which every selfish
feeling should have stood abashed and rebuked." . In this speech Mr. Benton represents himself as the man who saves the country from
SENSELESS. IGNORANT. AND UNJUSTIFIABLE WAR" into which Lewis Cass
was determined DESIGNEDLY to mislead the people. "The Senator (Cass) and his psrtv,says Mr.
Benton, "the bigorgan, (Mr. 6277,478 Ritchie's
Union,) and those which have followed his notes, have been leading the country to a WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN upon a mis
take, upon a blunder, upon an ignorance of
treaties and geography, lhe mistake has been exposed by reading the treaties and producing the geography. Instead of admittingthe error, the Senator from Michigan, for himself and for his friends, perseveres in it, and thus what was mistake in the beginning become design A DESIGN TO HAVE A WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN WITHOUT DARING TO NAME THE PRETEXT. The belligerent course of Gen. Cass and his friends on this question Mr. Benton stigmatizes as "dreadful. "War is a calamity;" he adds "a war upon a mistake is a double calamity; but a war upon demos, after the mistake isdetected, isa calamity for which there is no name. IT RISES TO THE MAGNITUDE OF THE GREATEST CRIME." Here, then, we have the direct charge brought against Gen. Cass, upon the floorof the Senate, by the oldest member of that body by one of the most influential members ot the Democratic party by a man who could have no purpose but a patriotic one in bringing such a charge? that he had been laboring to excite the American people to war upon a fahc pretence, , and had persisted in it after ht was aware of its
falsehood.
Ihu i the deduction ot Mr. lie nton from the course of Gen. Cass and his speeches in the Senate, It is difficult to conceive of a mere damuing accusation, and yet it has uever been answered or denied. Gen. Cass, as his own party friend, charged in the most solemn and deliberate manner, ought to plunge the Araercan people into a war, at once "senseless, ignaraot and unjustifiable." State Journal.
Vote on the School Law. The following is the vote at the August election in relation to Free Schools. It will be perceived that a very large majority of the people of the State are willing to be taxed for that purpose.
