rj i tuntuiupiii am iuki ni "uul ' Ctsely Bv Oedeu lu BipoiareofDemoertticiute Mismanagement. (Jovernor Willard (the individual who made such tpirite4 speeches in this portion ot the State not long since, and disgrace h.mself and the State of which he is the head, by uttering his maudlin slanders (against a respectable portion of his fellow, citizens) has in various speeches (amongst them the one made here) brought diver charges of fraud, corruption, and mismanagement against the Republican and Whig parties in connection with State affairs. The Democratic party, seeing that their national conduct cannot bear defense, have started Gov. W'illard, Mr. Hendricks, and other sjasakers around the State, to make brazen-faed and wilfully false charges of extravagance and corruption against the Did Whig and present Republican parties! which in justice lie at the door of the Democratic party. Tbe Democrats are getting desperate ns their end draws nigh, and in their despair over the certain loss of their national power, they are making a wild grasp on their State power which is also about departing from them. Their only hope is in the retention of the local offices. That party for about sixteen years has had charge of the affairs of State. During the last eight or ten years of that time, they have carried on their peculating operations j with a high band. They have swindled the people out of untold thousands. But a day of reckoning is coming soon, and with lips quivering with fear, they imitate the rogue who cried " stop thief to divert attention from himself, in charging on the Republican party wrongs of which they themselves are guilty. In refutation of these false churges against tbe Republican party, and in order i to fasten them where they belong, we yesterday commenced the publication of an able and truthful speech, delivered at Blooraington, Monroe county, July 21, 1800, by Hon. Morton C. Hunter, a prominent Republican representative in the last Legislature from the above county, am tuemlaar of sev" eral of the most important committees. The speech was reported for the New AL b.iny Tribuitf, to which paper we are indebted for it. This effort furnishes a triumphant refutation of the slanderous charges agaiust the Whig and Republican parties by the Democratic officials and office-seekers, in connection with State affairs. We earnestly ask every voter every tax-pay-er to read it carefully. It is lengthy, and will require about two weeks of our time to publish it, but in order to set all parlies i iuht for tbe approaching State election, tbe pace and time necessary will la." well occupied. Bead it, every one. VVe notice that Mr. Hunter's speech, in speaking of Messrs. Collins and Talbott, does uot state that they Mere not Republi- , cans but Fu.iionist. They were elected in ls."4. The Republican party did not ex- ' ist until 18;o. Moreover, they were Dimoerttt before they were elected by the ! Fusion party; so was Dr. Nolsiger (a highly honorable man, whom Gov. Willard is trying iu vain to ruin in the estimation of his fellow citizens). Dr. Talbott, so soon as he was out of office, returned to his congenial associations, and is a member now of one Of the factions of the Democratic party. The probability is, that he only joined the Fusionists for office. What justice is there in holding the Republicau party responsible for wrongs done the people of the State, by men who were Democrats until the eve ; of their election by the Fusion party, and whose term expired about the time that the Republican party became a party ? The 1.. ..lie. Aflri Hln. Judge Hover, of Posey county, has commenced the arduous task ot bolstering up the sinking cause of Douglas in Old Posey. He has made several country school-house speeches in his terse, acid style, wherein he demolishes Republicanism by that very argumentative Deaaocratie charge of negro equality and abolitionism. He has been making slow progress iu his work iu the country ; but presuming too much upou the intelligence of his t udieuce, lie delivered himself of one of his characteristic speeches at New Harmony not long since, in which ha rung the changes on the negro equality arguments aud Republicau opposition to sugust tribunals aud Supreme Courts. He was so detiaut, and threw dowu the glove with such a haughty air, that it brought forth a reply from one of the New Harmony lautes, who met the Judge's positions with substantial answers, aud placed htm at a decided disadvantage in the argument. Our Posey couutr friends say we need not trouble ourselves with Judge Hovey'a speeches that the women will fa Ire rare of nin and Am argume nix hereafter I Ckr " A correspoudeut of the Memphis Appeal, writing from Augusta, Ga , says ; ' Douglas stock is evidently rising iu Georgia, all through the State." Enquirer. Yes, about November it will "go up" en- : iirely.

Messrs. Whittlesey and Garitt are

making speeches throughout the county, at the cross-roads, in which they indulge in the only kind of language that the Democracy have left that is, they harp on " negro equality," " abolitionism,-' and other empty and false charges against the Republicans. They dare not venture to discuss principle. They fail to notice the shameful backing down from Squatter Sovereignty which their IiartV has been truiltv of: they fail to j - w m defeud the Deniocracv against the charges nf nir.n ...i .nm,ni;nn in SirIh nH x- . . . , . , , , National affairs, which have been so weU national anairs, wuicn uave oeeu established aeaiust them; they fail to expittln !0W ;t js that their candidate for Vice j President a violent Secessionist and SlaveI Coder comeg to be on their ticket; they ' ' wl,lrl:afa IJL ' hiI ... - , gives the lie to their professions of popular sovereigns; in short, they utterlv fail to ., . .. ' . .... satisfy an inquiring people who wish to be informed on these things, and a thousand: others in connection with that party, which require explanation. Messrs. G. and W., in their rounds, act in the presumption that the people are num. skulls, and totally ignorant of the issues which divide parties. They seem to think that all the people require to satisfy them is to hear coarse vituperation, and hence they pursue a course utterly unworthy candid ates for important offices, in a county of the intelligence and respectability of this. We shall see in October whether this opin u:i Ul uui pcuilic 13 lU.icu - nUaucion. - ..i lions can ie carried oy men caring notning for the proprieties of life, bat indulging 3 r r t f habitually in slanderous charges against their fellow-citizens, and disreputable slang against men who only strive far the good of the free white men of this country. Sol. Coker, unable longer to withstand the public scorn that rests upon him for his murderous attack on tbe Wide Awakes at Newburgh, came out in yesterday's Enquirer and attempted to vindicate himself from thecharges that have been made against him -His defense is absurd and a failure. Mr Kratz, to whom he refers (who, by the way' isone of our most peaceably disposed and respectable citizens), will testify to the ruffianism of Coker on the occasion ; so will twenty-five or thirty others of our citizens, who kflow Coker, and saw him breeding and aggravating the disturbance. Coker's oath, much less his unsupported statement, would not stand a second against the were word of anv one of our citizens, who are alluded to above, who will testily that Coker was a ringleader iu the attack. Coker says he was attacked by several persons and knocked down. This knockdown was performed by one nf his fellowtownsuiett, and occurred in the early part ol t'je evening, before tbe Wide Awakes arrived at the place of speaking. He says "several Wide Awakes ran to where I was. and attempted to stab me with tbe sharp metal points of their lamp sticks, and then in defense of my own life, I fired my pistol, as any other man would have doue under similar dangerous circumstanc-f es." This shows the falsity of all he savs The lamp-sticks have no sharp metal points. One end is bare and blunt like the end of a hroom-stick, and the other is blunt also and fastened iu the socket of the lamp. There is nothing about the lamp sticks to endanger life any more than there is about a broom-stick. Coker's fear ot the Penitentiary has prevailed on htm to get some friend (probably his crotiy Willard) to write this botched defense. He should have contented himself to let the remembrance of the disgraceful affair die away if it would. The more bestirs it up the worse it will be for him. t-. ,n h'3 second oration over the de. f'unct pole in Goodselville, GaTitt said he had almost ruined his left lung in advocating the cause of Democracy. We have heard of falsehoods that blistered the lips o1" tbosetelliug them, but this is the first instance we ever heardof in which the coining and retailing of political prevarication has " struck iu." From the amount of this kind of cor" rnption that has settled on the lungs of the Tycoon, we do not ladieve he is long for this world. His breathing apparatus must be as full of fetid political matter as a barber's shampooing sponge is of soap-suds. IMPUOBVCB. No better evidence of the cool impudence that characterizes the Democratic candidate for Sheriff has come under our observation, than his unjustifiable attacks upuu the buuks. In a speech delivered at the Court House some days ago, he charged that Democrats couh'u't get accom modations at the banks, because thev were Democrats, and that a bank president asked ; 1 a certain gentleman s politics before he would consent to loau him money. At the very time we hve good reason to believe Gavitt was makiug this attempt to create a feeling aguiust the banks, he was owiug one ot them money ! In accordance with a request of the Old Isiite Giurd, we have already noticed some appointments of Breckinridge speakers iu this vicinity; aud now announce, fuither, that Mesis. J. D. Bright, G. N. Fitch, Wm. H. English, James Morrison, D. R. Eckles, and the electors for this district, will speak at Vincenues on the 25th inst.

at 1 o clock P. M.; aud that Hon. Graham N. Joshua R. Giddiogs! No one, not po3sessFitch and Dr. W. F. Sherrod will speak at J ing Gavitt s ingenu'ty, would think of Mt. Vernon on the 6th, in this city on the j finding Giddinga s speeches in our "Revised

' corresponueni n, w no sent us so many intere.-tiug letters during his tour East, wrote us one from Lafayette, Intl., which has just arrived, having been belated. We make a few interesting extracts from it, and are sorry the crowded state of our columns prevents the publication of the whole letter. lafayette presents at the present time a very bnsitiess like appearance. The streets are daily crowded with teams from different part9 of the county, lo ided with wheat, corn, wood, m Ions, Ac. Wheat is now selling at 90 cent:;. This is the result of the late abundant ;rops. Three years ago when I w here the streets presented quite a different" appearance; In fact I had come to the conclusion that Lafayette then was a finish ed town, but at the present time the citizens Hre again buoyed up with bright prjspecta ! oi ins iuture. l uere are many improve ment now being made throughout the city. Lafayette has the advautage of being situat- ; ed in the finest agricultural district iu the j State. The Wea Plains and the Wyandotte Prairie are the finest in tbe State. The increase in the population ot this city for ten years has been about 50 per cent. You will be able to form some idea in regard to the I agricultural capacity of this country, when I state that there has been a calcula- ' tion made that there will le a surplus of produce in Tippecanoe County this year, of j some t'o and a quarier millions of dollars! The health of the city and county is very good. The weather is warm and extremeIjr dry. They have not had any rain of consequence for weeks. Politics are rather exciting in this vicinity. You meet but very few Democrats of ; either wing of the party, nod the Bell men are quite a curiosity here. Our correspondent a warm Fillmore man in 1850 regrets very much the formation of a Bell electoral ticket, deeming it of indirect benefit to the Democracy, against whom the Bell men have always been opposed. After speaking of the wonderful growth of our city in ten years, he closes: " Those seeking locatious should bear this iu mind, that Evansville presents advantages tor trade, commerce, and manufactures not equaled by any other city in tbe West.' DtW In the Old Line Guard we see ad" vertised for sale, to satisfy a claim of Francis Fellowes, of Connecticut, against the Evansville, Indianapolis, and Cleveland Straight Line R. R.

When our active young friend' Gavitt, stepped on the platform, on Saturday night last, iu Goodselville, he promptly paraded a copy of the Revised Statutes, with the evident intention of impressing upon the minds of his hearers that he designed to prove hi points as he weut along. Yet a friend of ours who was there informs us that the first extract Gavin read from the 'Revised Statutes," was a portiou of an old speech which he asserts was delivered by Statues."

At a meeting of the ! r 1. 1 : -. . -i :.... . i .v. i ? , c -J, (-ha.rmac i was instructed to prepare an address to the Republicans of Missouri, urging them to vindicate their principles at the ensuing Presidential election, without affiliation with any other party. Indignation Meeting. The married men of Janesville, Wis., whose wives have gone East or are absent from the city, held a meeting on Friday last. The oldest sufferer present called the meeting to order, and a regular organization was then effected, which being done, all present united in singing, " Come, ve disconsolate," Burns' "Cotters' Saturday Night" was then read, after which several resolutions were adopted denouncing the long absence of married women on visits to relatives and friends, as a serious and growing evil ; asserting that a w. ,in. iii's obligations to her husband were greater than those to her ''Eastern cousins" and "relatives by the wife's side,'1 and suggesting the formation of a permanent organization for mutual aid and protection, and for the promotion of the desired reform. A baby was theii brought before the assembly, and received with deep emotion. The proceedings ended with the singing of " Days of Absence." Exchange. A similar organization is ueeded iu Evansville. The evil has prevailed extensively this summer, and seems to be increasing every year, l ue anerwood House was tne place where the victims most did congregate. A visit to them during the long summer evenings and Sundays was heart-rending in the extreme. So much human suffering has rarely been seen at that which .vas witnessed at Grass Widowers' Retreat, during the days of absence. If John S. Hopkins, our candidate for the Legislature, will pledge himself to favor a law abating the evil of summer absenteeism among the members of the female persuasion, he wil' be elected by a large majority. A law the unfortunates demand and must have. Writing and sending word to come back do r.o good. Numbers were obliged tu go themselves and bring their " vrans " back by compulsion. It is time the law were invoked to abate the evil. The OtMKrf Citizrn. A picture was taken by Mr. O. Thayer, a few days ago, of Major Pierre Brouiletle, one of our niot respectable cili.ens, who was born and reared in this county, and is now in his seventy-ninth year. He has lived in the county without intermission since his birth. Mr. B. was a soldier in the last war was a lieutenant in one of tbe roingMtnies at the battle of Tippecanoe, and commanded a company that went to the relief of Fort Harrison. The picture was taken to be placed in the State Historical Soeiet v. Vn. Sun. Still They Comic.
