Dommrats, be ou your Guard! An effort is being made by the 'Whigs, to divide the Democratic party, in the selection of candidates for the Legislature, by inoculating into the Whig Platform

the odious provisions ot a Maine Liquor Laic thereby attempting to seduce temi pcrancc Democrats to vote for Whigs. j The temperance meeting at Enterprise, which assembled for the express purpose j of nominating candidates tor the Legisla ture, refused to do so, and gave as their reasons, that "McCalluin, the Whig candidate for the Senate, was as good a temperance man as they could get!"' j We profess to be as good a temperance ! man as anvbodv would do as much to rid the community of the evils of intemperance yet we must confess that the features of the Maine Laic are utterly repugnant to our institutions in violatioii id the Constitution and at variance j with every Republican principle of our ! Government. Mo person but demagogues. ! who will adopt any platform for the sake : of g'-Uing votes, attempts to endorse the ! Elaine law. The mass of the people be ing ignorant of the obnoxious features of this law, may perhaps vote for men whom thr- style temperance men when at the same time, if they had read the law, they would turn from it in disgust. We will only give the substance of one section of the law. which we know will be enough to satisfy any Democrat. As for satisfying the Whigs, that is impossible; for the more glaring inconsistencies in any measure, the more zealous are their champions in its defense. One section of the Maine law provides that it shall be the duty of any officer, when suspecting any liquors concealed about the house of any private citizen, to have the same seized and destroyed, without compensation. The State also pays a certain per cent, out of her traasury to the officer who is successful in such discovery and destruction; thereby inducing the officer to search everv out-house, stai ble, kitchen or other place, and if he suc- ' ceeds in finding a pint of whiskey,:1 im- ; mediately destroys the same, and he w paid cut of the Stat? treasury for the destructioii ! j The Constitution of the United States ; says that i4priv;ite property shall not be i tnr.en for p i pensat ion. " i Maine have uses, without just comTh alrea; difi( rent. Courts of decided the law un.'constitutional upon different occasions. The Majority of the people have always been opposed to it; it was a minority that fastened the odious law upon the State, the people, taking the matter in their own hap. Is, visit the law with mobocratie force This course has been adopted so ' T often by the people of Maine, that the law has become on obsolete idea, and i th e officers dare not attempt to enforce it. It is no less than a system of espionage, like they have in France, (an anti-Republican Government.) of the Government employing spies for the purpose of watching the conduct of the people thereby trampling upon private rights, and crushing the dearest liberties of her subjects. A like system would be adopted in this State, no doubt, had the YVhigs power; and yet we find that some of them have the assurance to endorse this law publicly in portions of the country where utterance appears to be the popular theme. Now. Democrats, shall we stand silent and fold our arms to alt this! I5e not deluded by such sophistry. Vote the ticket the entire Democratic ticket, and rest assured "Whig jromif s will be forever dienccd. You have the "power you have the votes. Do not 1 av vour trusts.

Wonder if Macbeth was a subscriber to a whi j I paper when he wrote"Oh t how tiiis wnrl'i is iven to Iviiii;!" Qzj" The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the following. It is no doubt true. Whigs can talk about Scott, being elected, but the more sensible portion have no such ideas. The election of Scott is like they say of a 1'ank it is "obsolete!" No w hig about here has vet become crazy enough to bet on Scott. lint to the anecdote: A zealous Kent ucky Whig, over in Covington, was expressing great confidence in the election of Scott. "Von won't bet on the general result," said a Democrat. "Yes. 1 will," said the Whig. "D d if you will," said the Democrat. "I d if I won't," said the Whig. Then ever W." sung out the Democrat, handing fsloo t,, a gentleman standing by. ' A grc responded the Whig, hand ing over tie- rags.

TUc Expositor. This is the name of a little pamphlet, going about like the "Wandering Jew," claiming no parentage like the "Scott Eagle." This "Expositor" w as issued by order of the Whig Junto at Indianapolis, for the purpose of misleading the people in regard to the expenses of our late Constitutional Convention. The thing bears a falsehood upon its very face. It makes the Convention in session upwards of one hundred and sixty days! and the official

debates only show that the Convention ' was in session ose hcxdred ajb twenty-seven hays! In making up their bundle of falsehoods, they have been so unfortunate as to let "the cat out," which exposes the whole concern as being a tissue of misrepresentations from beginning to end. Freemen of Indiana ! remember this cabal Whig Junto on the 12th day of October, and seal it w ith that ! infamy which they so richly deserve at the hands of the iron-hearted Democracy.

Aslinmed to Own II. Mr. Buchanan, Whig candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, while on an electioneering expedition, stopped at the house of a good old Democrat one Timothy

Conner for the purpose of advocating his claims for office, when the following j dialogue ensued: '"Well, Mr., T am, perhaps, as much of a stranger to you as you are to me: but I hope, with your consent, that I shall be able to form an acquaintance that will be of bcnelit to both of us. My name Buchanan, and I am a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. Now, will you be so kind as to inform me whether you are a Whig or Democrat.'' "If it is any satisfaction to you, I can tell you I'm not a Whig."

Wliiar Kxtravneiuifo-.TIic liffeci of (iali'liinism. The whig Administration of Gen. Taylor and 3Iillard Fillmore has cost the country, in time of profound peace, "with all the world and the rest of mankind,"

iinu without the spending of a dollar for internai improvements, the enormous sum of .$.35,-142,-181 00 per annum! Just look at. it.

While the Democrats during this campaign have been disposed tj do full justice to the military service? and skill of the Whig candidate for President, in which he has really distinguished himself, they have not been a little amused at the extraordinary claim which some of his whi

The crude and absurd scheme of naturalization of foreigners. contained in his letter of acceptance. which he made to depend upon their services in the army or navy, and the operation of which would be that, any person, not pfce Jeet eiiht inches in statute would be denied the privilege, as that is the anuv regulatioii, and which was suggested by bis military experience, is another instance that the General is not prepared to take upon himself the duties of a statesman. Not only are all of his civic productions exceedingly clumsily written, but they lack ideas, force and dignity. They are characterized too by an exceedingly disagreeable egotism and are full of vain conceit, which indicate that he does not possess a strong and wellbalanced intellect, neisinshorl a mere soldier, a proud, aristocratic man who never held n civil office in his life, and w hose manner and habits as well as opinions and tastes are entirely rcpughant to our republican ideas of propriety. He is consumed by a vain ambition to be President, and has hrrn an aspirant for that office now more than twenty years. His party friends know ing his unfitness have1

again and again refused to nominate him for that office, but his sturdy importunity has at last prevailed, and that barren honor has at last been accorded to him. His overwhelming defeat for the station he basso long coveted, while it will be mortifying to his overweening vanity, will be in the end a useful lesson to'him. It will teach him that in the sense of the Amer-

jean people he might be more usefully em ployed at the head of the American army, than in electioneering for political honors that the tall plume better becomes him than the magisterial robes that he has mistaken his abilities, if he Uppo?ed that nature ever designed him j f,,r any other sphere than the one which j he now occupies, and which he has so i l,,,ig sustained with credit to himself and honor to the country. j I 31 rs- Partington, whilst looking over a newspaper this morning, read as follows: j "A pfKtlen.nn proposes through the colj mns of the Cincinnati Atlas to bet 8500 ; tn?lf- Gen.
