But if there are any such, write across every one in large letters the word FORGERY.

OUR MASS MEETINGS. Since out list paper. Brookville has been the theatre of two large M iss meetings. On Saturday the locos had their parade. The daywas cold and rainy exceedingly disagreeable; but the crowd was large and enthusiastic. The dinner served up was well done, good and plenty. The multitude was civil and courteous, considering the great political excitement. Out they were unfortunate in speaker. Tkey had three speakers, Amos Lane, Wilkin, of Hamilton, and Dr. Bier of Liberty, They re fit associates. The three are not disjrtcH by each other's company. But we were s: rr to see the democracy of Franklin county associating with such men, and listening' to such leaders. We have heard the crowd
estimated on Saturday from 3.000 to 7,000. We have not the authority to decide which is right, although we have our own opinion. On Tuesday, the Whigs were out. Formany days previous il had been cold and rainy the road were muddy and on the morning it was cloudy, with a chilling wind from the north, mixed a little with snow. But the Whigs came in multitudes, in spirit and enthusiasm. The number far exceeded any thing ever witnessed before in Brookville. The delegation from Fairfield far eclipsed any thing else. The Fairfield procession was
I nearly two miles long, composed of about 80 j wagons and carriages, most of which werej those large political buggies propelled by 6 to 19 hone, and carrying from 25 to 50 persons each. Bat it is useless for us to describe these thing, at most of oar readers were personal witnesse of the tcene. Bath, Springfield, Whitewater, Posey and Blooming Grove, were here in number and style honorable to themselves. We give not our own estimate of the number present. It has been estimated in our heating from 5,000 to 15,000. A Democratic Lawyer of this town estimated the whig meeting at 8000 or 9000. Ourtpeakera were Arthur Elliott, Lewis D. Campbell, of Hamilton, and Mr. Green, of Cincinnati. Any eulogy from us of their calm, able, eloquent, earnest efforts would fall so far hort of their true merits, that we leave them with those who were enraptured, and delighted w ith the instructions w hich fell from their lips. Wc feel proud of our principles and of such able and eloquent a I rotates of them. The public dinner served up was good, and plentiful, and abundance left.
to the election. And make every honorable effort toinduceyour neighbors todo the name. Let the watch w ord be continuolly, get ready For the Polls ! ! Be on your guard! We w arn our Whig friends to be upon their guard! At the last election the Locofocos circulated
SPURIOUS WHIG TICKETS! They will undoubtedly do the same thin
now. Before'you hand in your ticket, then, BE SLUE THAT IT IS RIGHT! Let it be inspected and compared with an authentic list of the na-nes of the Whig candidates for electors, unless you have recetved it from a quarter entitled to your implicit confidence. This is a matter or the utmost importance. We trust it will be carefully attend ed to.

"GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC VICTORY." South Carolina has gone for Calhoun and the Progressive Polkites! 'Coonery is dead there!" Yes, so it is, and the Carolina Democracy" must be of the true modern stripe. The leaders vote the peeple have no say in the matter. Listen, ye Locofocos, and rejoicein one district 24 votes elected a Senator! There is no naturalized, and very little nafire voting there. Ciu.

DEFECTIVE TICKETS.
Let every whig, before he vote, know that
he has a correct ticket, with all the names of
the electors thereon. By reference to any co
py ot tne American for the last six months,
you can oluvn a correct list. The Whig Ri tie has issued aome on the margin of that pa per, and tho name of James Collins, jr. is omit
ted in one of the ticket, and in another place
J. tr. Brackenridge occur in place of J. A
voa.rae. oe on your guard in everv
thing. See that that there are no ticket in
tM box before you commence Totint. Guard
the poll and challenge votea, and if thet are tritiu4 ta vote by corrupt locofoeo judges fcs them tntsted immediately by affidavit pUn htstiee of the peace. Look out for all mis of ins.
ARKANSAS! Good News!! The favorable intelligence we published a day or two since from Arkansas, is confirmed by later information. Capt. Wormaw, or the steamboat Iouis Philip, direct from Little Rock, reports that every county in the State had been heard from, and that 'Mr p,l
t m. i v iiir lug candidate for Governor was elected by 230 majority. Also that the Whig candidate for Congress, David Walker, was probably eleted. We understand further, by a gentleman of Arkansas, who is in our city, that when he left, no doubt was entertained, from the returns received, that the Whigs had carried the State. .V. O.
