Before the election, Whig thunder will sound, e.-ho and re verbernle over the hills and through the valleys, which will startle the buffaloes and the loco focos. We are making the necessary arrangements. When the Taylor bugle is aounded, the boys will come np, not so scanty and so tinii ily as they did on Wednesday Inst, nut, "They will come as the winds come, When forests are rended They will come as the wans come, When navies are stranded." They will rome with their hearts filled with gratitude to our noble patriot and chieftain. It will require no agitating to arouse them. They will come because they cannot help it. They will come because they will feel in the heart the approving conscience of right, aud their months will speak it out. Then fear not. We have the fire in our crimp. The thunrter is sleeping. The land-swe'ls can j even now be seen. We do not expect one town dne time, place and particulars will be given. In the mean lime stand to your arms. eel the . thousand falsehoods that will be promulgated by every means in the hands of an unscrupulous , rru .v i i 1 opponent. The corrupt oilice-seekers have t nothing to hope from Gen. Talor; consequent ly this is their death struirp;!e. Desperate things, j therefore, may be expected. Dtlieve none of their lies, however plausible. There is every thing to cheer us. The prospects are bright, and the sky is clear. The news from every quarter of the Union is cheering. Then, "Abate no jot of heart or hope, But onward press right on." The enemy's line is broken. They are attempting to rally under too leaders Cass and Van Buren. But let us push the battle to the gates, and the route of the enemy at Resaca de li Pal ma will be nothiug to it. In fact we have nothing but broken and disheartened fragments fan enemy to fight, who will in some places, I make some desperate and dying plungea.

The bridge east of town acros White Water will be ready for the travel in a few weeks. But there is another bridge wanted, and if the people will consult their interests, they will move upon the subject immediately. We refer to the bridge across the West River at this place. In the spring of 1S47 there was an appropriation of $ 1000 by the County Commissioners for this bridge, on condition that it be finished it three years. Half of that lime has passed away, and little or nothing has been done. Will you, friends, secure this grant, or will you neglect your interests? Cirrnit Conrt. Fifteen years ago, the Circuit Court term was from four to six days. Now it takes from 20 to 24 days. There has not been this increase in population, nor in commercial and other business of the county. Have we become more quarrelsome and fond of litigation? We hope not; yet the facts are before us. We fear an increase of lawyers is not beneficial to our peace and prosperity. Some of our lawyers are as honest as any class of commnnity, but others too often give plaintiffs encouragement to go to law without sufficient cause. Matters, with good advice, might be compromised or abandondoned with far more profit and credit. We have In our mind now some cases, where men have been seriously injured in property and character by the wrong advice of rash and mischievous lawyers. Their claims and injuries were magnified by seekers after fees until they risked a suit at court, and now -will have to toil the bdanee or their days to pay their lawyers who have ruined them, and to pay the costs of lengthy litigation. Jamw ll.t'rarrn. This man, whom it has been our peculiar fortune to hate his ways, is the abolition, free-soil. Van Buren Elector for this District. We always imagined that he would eventually come to this, or some other bad end. We are not given to presentiments, but we could never get it out of our head that he was not sound. We were always fearful of trusting him. When he belonged to the whigs, he was too lazy to do any service, and too careless even to pay his PRINTING BILLS. One of the most serious objrcuous we ever naci to the whig party, was that it contained occasionally such men as Cravens. Hut we are becoming purer every day, and if we remain In the minority a few years longer, It will become entirely void of spot or blemish. The corrupt office seekers are going over to the democratic party. There are a few, however, whom the democrats will not have. They therefore go over to Van Burea, the man who has become too corrupt for even loco foco use. ?lirlnnt Politic. According to the Rockville, Md., Journal, Major George Peter, formerly a leader of the Democratic party in that coumy, iutends giving a Taylor barbecue one day this week, to which number of fine speakers have been Invited. The Mojor is personally acquainted with Gen. Taylor, and has see i some service with him. The same paper state that the Democrats of that county will, at their next meeting, pass a resolution absolving F. P.

Worldly lienor. "F.vfton rnnr nay, of Ind.t died iome days tince in Cincinnati, Ohio." F'or a few weeks we have noticed the foregoing short, careless and indefinite notice, filling an obfcure corner In an occasional paper of Indiana. What a sad and solemn lesson Is here of the vanity of worldly honors. This is now the only notice that is taken of one, whom, but a few years ago, the people of Indiana delighted to honor. lie was twice elected Governor of Indiana by unparalleled majorities over the best men in our Stte. Yet, by his conduct, he deprived himself of the sympathy, care and con

fidence of his family, friends, and the citizens of the State. Though possessed of wealth, it is probable, (we speak not from actual knowledge) that he died among strangers, neglected and unwept "None so poor as to do him reverence." And the only eulogy that is now pronounced on his name, :s that, "he died SOME DAYS since in Cincinnati." I.t no one who would attempt to deride our institutions, or burlesque the plain, honest simplicity of our people, siy again, that "office ad wei.lth will give friends and fame."' Here is a lessou for all. Would you embalm your memory in the sweet and hallowed recollection of the good and great ef this world, or when you come to die, do you expect to have a reasonable hope of laving your soul in that ocean of love ! in a future world, yon must so live as to be en titled to such blessings, and not rely upon wealth or honor. Who has not envied Gov. Ray, in days g-ne by, of his talents, honor, and wealth? Where is the titan so low or so distress-! as to wish his days to end in like manner.

Thonmson, whose able and elequent speech at the great" Whig ratification meeting held in Monument i qnare on the night of the 20th of June last won for him so many warm and admiring friends among the Whigs. The goblet is elegantly chased and engraved, and bears a representation of the scene .resented in Monument Square on the night of the meeting, and at the time Mr. Thompson was addressing the assemblage. It was understood the Gobldt would be sent to Washington, and there presented to Mr. Thompson previous to his starting for the west. ?

Alulnma Grarral Taylor. We learn from the Mobile Advertiser, that

the II ou. Wm. I.. Yancy, late a delegate from that State to the Democratic National Conven tion, has published an address, in pamphlet form, to the people of Alabama, which will be apt to cause, a shakir.g among the dry bones of "the ; faithful" in that Slate. The address is very long ' making a pamphlet of seventy-three pages j and is an elaborate vindication of the course of , the writer, both iu the Convention, and since his return, in opposing the election of Gun. Cass to the Presidency. Mr. Yancy exposes with grat power, the du- j plicity of the Northern Democracy on the

slavery qttestion.reviews with great severity the . last, and spoke there, and again thousands crowtortuous cours of Gen. Cass, and gives his Nich- 1 ded around him. He proceeded that afternoon olsou letter a scathing criticism. He also deals as far ou his way as Springfield, and In a few some heavy blows upon his colleagues in the j minutes the street in front of the hotel at which

convention who are now supporting Gen. Cuss, ! shows conclusively that they are violating their pledges and the instructions contained in the j resolutions of the State Convention which gave j them the appointment, and maintains that they are acting in had faith to Southern interests. Of the three delegates who have assailed him through the newspapers, to-wil: Messrs. T.San- ; ford, John A. Winston, and D. Salomou, Mr. j Yancy retorts with withering severity, and makes some revelations that will be auy thing but comfortable, we should say, to some of the gentlemen named. Take it altogether, says the Advertiser, it is a remarkable publication, and will evidently produce a sensation. Iii connection with this subject, it may not j be unacceptable to tho friends f Geu.

The meeting of the Barnburners, that was advertised to be holden on Saturday latt, in this place, crime off, according to previous notice.

Ohio Interior Corwin among the People. The Whig masses in Ohio, are now moving in the cause of the country the cause of freedom, peace and prosperity as becomes Whig9, as becomes lovers of liberty, as becomes enemies of chicanery, misrule, and arbitrary power.

Thomas Cobwin is among them, filling theap pointmcnu made for him by the State Whig Executive Committee; and although in feeble health at this time, he is a host, to take counsel if him, and to cheer him with their prosenee and their voices. He spoke a few days ago at Wilmington, and the citizens of Clinton county moved en masse to the place appointed for the meeting. II-s went to Xenia on Wednesday he stopped was crowded, and, poor as was his health, and jaded as ho was with travel and a two hours' address at Xenia, he was obliged to show himself upon the porch, and pass cougrat u!atious with the people, when he was permit ted to retire, receiving as he did a repetition of three hearty and prolonged cheers that had greeted his arrival. Of Mr. Corwin's speech at Xenia, the editor of the Springfield Republic, w ho was present, writes as follows." "In risiug, he said that ha had just risen from a sick bed that he might speak five minutes, perhaps ten, perhaps longer. He did not know however, that he could stand up that long. But the occasion demanded that he should aay something, and tracing the principles of the Whig party trom their source, he asked the question "I Generul Tuvlnr n Wilier ?'

It was supposed, when a portion of the Democratic party, iu New York, delermlued to secede from the regular nomination made ly their party at Baltimore, that its infiueence would be coufined to that State. To the great surprise, however, of the Cass wing of the Democracy, the dis: fl'xliou is rapidly extending into other States. Whether it will increase to such an extent as to compel the withdrawal of Gen. Cass, remains to be seen. A State Conveution was held in this city, on laBt W1'!. for the purpose of forming an electoral ticket. After some difficulty in find ing suitable material, they succeeded in the object of their assemblage. We are not able to give the names of all the gentlemen selected as electors. We understand that Mr. Ellsworth, of Lafayette, and J ohn H.Bradley, of Columbus, are Electors for the State at large. Ovid Butler, Esq., of this city, is the elector for this district. We atteuded the Convention and heard some of the speeches made. On Tuesday night, Mr. Harding, one of the leading Abolitionists of the State, entertained his audience with a speech of considerable length. In the course of his remarks, for the puapose of making Van Buren palatable to the AbolitionisU.he took the ground that in a! I his former opposition to them, and all his political iniquity, should be buried with the pust and that all should now rally upon him, because he was now right. He acknowledged that it was with some difficulty he got his own consent lo go for him but he had finally concluded to do it. Johu W. Wright, Esq., of Logansport was called on. He did not altoeether aeree with Mr. Harding, and began his speech by saying iu substance, he was not in the same position as that occupied by his friend. He (Mr. W.) had always been a Van Buren man, and in now supporting him there was no political inconsistency. There existed no necessity to take auything back, or lo forget anything In relation to Van r, t-i ., . , , . ' ' Hur i. I hut criintlamnn naH ftlurava iiaaii l ' right, aud had never taken anything back. He stood now where he always had stood. There was, then, on his part, no sacrifice of principle in giving his support to the glorious old leader of democracy. He had read one truth in the State Journal a few days ago. That paper state.! that "Van Buren had now the hearts of nine tenths of the Democratic party." That is a fact if they only dared to speak out their real sentiments. There were a great many Democrats who refused to wear the collar any longer, and especially is it so in the Northern part of the State. John U.

Mll Rebuked. We copy the following remarkable rebuke from a late number of the Buffalo Dally Advertiser. It will answer for the meredian of Cin cinnati, quite as well as for that of Rochester. A Dr. Dean, in Rochester, a few days since, hitched his horse to a shade tree in front of a gentleman's house, where he had no business. The gentleman not relishing that his trees should thus be destroyed, very quietly drove the horse and buggy to a livery stable, and had them 'put out. The Doctor, returning from the visit to his patient, and finding his horse and buggy gone, and believing them to be stolen, issued a flaming handbill, headed 'Daring theft,' and also advertised them in the morning papers. The next day, however, he leared that his horse was safe in a public barn. The Democrat says that the Doctor wishes to apologise to the community for the imputation cast upon the good name of the city by insinuating so bold a theft could be committed in the day time. He should learn that shade trees were not set out and pruned through years with much labor and care, to be J maue uiicniug posts or, thus rendering them liable to be destroyed.in five minutes. And all should bear this in mind in cities. One of our citizens used lo go out and quietly cut the hal ter, whenever a horse was fastened to a tree in front of his residence, which proved quite an effectual remedy to the encroachment." O" Gen. Taylor was fighting the battle of Buena Vista at the very time when the Locofoco editors and leaders in various parts of the United States were censuring and slandering hiiu. The miserable hacks of party were trying to disgrace him by proceedings of Congress when he was driving back the hosts of Santa Anna. Santa Anna and the leading Locofocos were then co-operating to do the same act to crush Gen. Taylor. About that time, Gen. Cass was so destitute of magnanimity as to vote for a virtual censure on Gen. Taylor; he, in his extreme bitterness, desired to degrade the brave General who led our armies to victory on the Rio Grande; his contracted partizan views would not permit him to give a vote of thanks to the hero, but he struggled to fasten a virtu al vote of censure on the man who at that time 'wing new luswe on me American arms. This Ignoble conduct on the part of Cass, manifested a littleness of soul characteristic of the! . ,.... man ; he then saw that the people were determined to make Gen. Taylor a formidable Cmdidate for the Presidency, and he determined to give him a legislative stab in advance. The other Senators, more just and magnanimous, defeated his dastardly purpose. iLT The Philadelphia News declares that the gallant veteran, Commodore Stewart, is in favor of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. There is peculiar significance in this when it is remembered that Com. Stewart was a prominent candidate for the Presidency before the Democratic National Convention which nominated Mr Polk. Tnylor Rntlflcntion TIreting In IVew York. All the New York papers agree in representing a meeting of Whig young men in Washington parade ground in that city, on Tuesday even ing week, to ratify the nominations of Taylor and Fillmore, as the largest and most harmonious held in New York for year back- The Journal of Commerce says: "We commit no exageratlon in saying that twenty thousand persons attended it. Jonathan W. Allen, Esq., was appointed to preside. The Hon. Frederick Talmadge, and Messrs. Brooks, Raymond, and others addressed the meeting, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. Talmadge, in the course of his speech said that Mr. Clay would, before the ensuing fortnight had expired, endorse the nomination of Gen. Taylor, and give him his cordial support."

XT The Washington Union contains the following attack upon Gen. Taylor"There can be no doubt about Gen. Taylor being opposed to the extension of slavery. His letters to Gen.

Kent exposed bis knavery to his face in such a way that he attempted to creep out of his guilt by blusteirng after having failed by lying. This was on a question concerning his fidelity to his constituents. When they wished to know why he left Congress before final action on an important measure, he excused himself by asserting; that he had paired off with a member from Georgia, and that in this way it was not absolutely important for him to be present The Journals of the House were examined, and they proved this statement, made by J. L. White, a piece of knavish lying, and the member from Georgia pronounced the whole statement, a lie from beginning to end. Mr. J. L. White made statements too, purporting to be remarks made to him by Col. Benton, and when Col. Benton was written to on the subject, ha declared that nothing of the kind had ever occurred. Soon after the election of J. L. White to Congress, he went to one of the most honorable and upright men in Indiana and borrowed money under the most sacred pledges, pledgee which an honorable man would have died rather than break. J. L. White broke them most remorse lessly, and disgraced even himself by his conduct about this sacred debt. Throughout the district that elected him once to Congress, he fell so low, and felt that he so 'certainly merited the scyrn and contempt of all honest men, that he could not venture to live in Indiana after his exposure. He pulled up stakes and attempted to bury himself in the city of New York. And now this Limpndent fellow is raving through New York on the free soil principles audita abusing Gen. Taylor. Listen to the wretched outcast from Indiana, iu a speech before the Buffalo Convention on Gen. Taylor's election. "If he is, what sort of an administration will we have? f Miscellaneous. 1 Miscellaneous some one says. True, pledged to nothing but himself, you wo'd find this government turned into a kind of military hospital for tlie sick, sore and superanuated soldiers. Imagine that the old man occupied the White House. Bewildered by the strangeness of his position, he would surround himself by his friends from the army, for, as I understand it, he has not slept in a civilized bed for forty years, and, of course, his only friends and associates have been those of the camp. On one side you would see corporals, wounded in the leg or arm. On the otter side, a colonel, wounded in the face, of coarse. ! Laughter.

Of one thing we can yenture to assure J. L. White, upon "authority" of Gen- Taylor's whole life. When the "miscellaneous administration is made up there will be none of his ilk in it the materials will be honest, and they are more likely to answer the wishes of the American people, than if they were made up of such characters as J. L. White. We wish John Van Buren and Benj. F. Butler joy in such an associate as J. L. White. They may rest assured of one fact if they have any dirty work to do, they have, in J. L White, a fit tool for it, and the dirtier it is, the better is his adaption to it We hope that when Benj . F. Butler is done with J. L. White, he will send him to Sandy Hill, where be may enjoy "the stated preaching of the gospel" we know of no man who stands mors in need of it Louis ville Journal. O The New Hampshire papers state that John P. Hale has recently been franking home Clayton's great speech in defence of Gen. Tay lor. ID" The Democratic Journals of the State neer at the idea that Mr. Van Buren can draw votes from Gen. Cass in this State. The Wa bash Sentinel of last week says: "We can confidently venture the assertion that there will not be one hundred men in Indiana, who are identified as being member of the Democratic party, that will cast their votes for Martin Van Buren. It is on the other hand among the Whigs that the falling off will be Free Soil Whigs bear that! Viewing this movement aa playing directly into the hands of Gen.

There are a good many inclined to give it a lift in November for the good it has done, if they conld be stki they were not thereby aiding in the election of Lewit Cass.

Cass and his associate from the head of our columns, and have substituted the nominee of the Buffalo Convention. We adopted (we confess with misgivings) the name of Cass shortly after the Baltimore Convention, and at a time when there was no alternative but this course for neutrality in a newspaper, is a cold and repulsive companion." Wow Tork for Taplor. The Herald has an estimate, based open the strength of the election of 1847, in which it allows Martin Van Buren fifteen thousand Whig votes, and says that the Whigs will then poll 217,000, which will be a majority over the Hunkers of 75,000 and of 90,000 over the Barnburners. It adds that New York may beset down "all right for Taylor." Spirit of the Age . The great meeting at Buffalo was opened by a speech from a colored gentleman. He gave complexion to tlie affair. Gen.
