Tlio Result of Hie EtccStaai Ts of coarse highly gratifying to all sincere lovers of our principles ; but it i of the greatest value also as a timely rebuke to falsehood. The late political campaign in this State was as nearly as possible, on the' f. deral side, a copy of that of 1910. It was a studi d - . , . .

by the most adroit W n-committalism.

A lew Pl.tiii Words.

The Indiana Journal of the 10th int. contained the follow ing '.Now that the election it ow, tud with it the u-uai eiritrmcnt which it ocraaiona. we n-k can.hJ Ihtwnrut to rrsd the following, which appeared in the J. fT-rauman jeal ,,r.

Whitctunb is a Methodist. But we are .... I .. ,m,I,. .1 iiwf.it I in nil 1 1 11 ill 1 1 1 r.'i 1 iiiui-u 11 .i- iii in. ..v.. mm one. For it will be recollected that it was charged by s-me of the federal whig press in l-u.J, that Gov. V. was elected bv Methodist votes in that year. a I'his was then disproved ; atid while on this eubject, w e w ill stats that w e are authorized to challenge contrad, cti to the statement, that Gev. V. never solicited B v -to during either canvass on religious or sectarian ground-;. So far d.d ho carry this, w hen questioned on the grounds of objection to Gov. 1hg- j ger, on the part of some of tbat numerous and respectable persuasion, that he felt happy in being able uniformly to reply, that "he did not retain the circumstances as related, sutTiciently in mind, to justify a repetition on his part proper, particularly in h:s position, at that time before the people." J low many, are may ask, of his bitter opponents would have imitated nil example ! But we are wandering from the subject. The mitfeie of the Jefleraoniafl did not go to injuriously affect .Mr. Marshall or any of his friends. Injudicious or unjust praises bestowed upon a friend, are not as frequent nor as hurtful as the unjust abuse and slander of enemies. "Now that the election is over," as the Journal says, and w ith it the usual excitement which it OC easions," arc also ask candid IV"V to read the I !alsehoous which appeared in U"hti papers just "on v ' ' J . . . the eve of the election," and say w hat they think of them, viz : if, in the Greensburgh Hep s.t ry, stating that Gov. Whitcomb had been Ctmkjded at New Albany : ihatt in the Louisville journal and other federal papers, that be had had bil n te pulled : and that in the Evansvtlle Journal, that it was proved upon him in the faee of Iiis public denial in Sullivan county , that he bad pledged himself to serve but one

term. & . &c. What wilt a decent people think ofjofthat sheet, commenting on our notice of tbe rise slanders disgraceful to a gentleman, saying nothing . in flow , is en ugh to almost convince one it is wilfully

of public functionaries, as to whom whigi profess generally referential regard? But we need not ask, what will a candid people say to tnrh cowardly slanders. Tliey have already spoken at the ballot box by doubling Gov. VVhitcomb'a ma-1 jority. To use the words of tlie Journal, "now thai tne elect.on is over, and with il the usual excitement which it occasions, are shall recur to a few more ot the slanders that were wickedly and recklessly sliowered during the late canvass on the heads of Govern r Whitcomb and Lieutenant Governor Dunning. Paeon it Konsul, That in Floyd county, w here our volunteers were en-, a aaalu camped, and w here it was repeatedly cnarged ami aib'ged, hi ifore th electiom, that they had been outra elected their Clerh of the Circuit Court, and even given a majority fr their candidate for Lieut. Governor : yet Cov. Whitcomb, even tk n , and in th fno of aä this, Ins received majority of the popular vote . ., rw. ... . , , at the bc'I -t box! This.lt wi be conceded, was , . - , r not owing to the unpopularity of the rest of our canI dictates, for all parties cheerfully near testimony to (their character and standing, and especially to the al- ,. , , .. .. f. . i most unrivalled personal popularity ot Jar. W instand.ii. ley, our candidate for Senator. What is the irresist ible conclusion ? Why ; that the people of Floyd, w ho w ere constantly in the habit of visiting the camp and the town in great numbers, while the volunteers remained liiere, and who saw the condition and treattnent of our little armv with their own eves, and not i.i a -a a i through the spectacles of prejudiced politicians, have I borne their testimony in favor of Gov. Whitcomb, and nsainst his slanderers. Floyd has sriven her verdiel ! I What have the Ef. A. Bulletin, the Louisville Jontoal, the Louisville .AI rning Courier, the Evansville Journal, the Madison Banner, the Indiana JourI i. i uri if .i i . aat , i correspondents, young ami old and big, now to say I The result throughout the S ate, and especially in Floyd county, is not very complimentary lo their eharadaf f r veracity m the estimation of the people. True, gentlemen, vou showed no small amount of talenl , , ", a:ul industry m cool, systematic misrepresentation. The only diffieuhy wns, (and it is tbe difficulty that always hangs around the neck of the whig purty like a millstone.) pon conaed too largely on the ignorance of the ptafie. Vou have acted on the principle that all's hit in politics.

We cannot be accused of selWe early opposed it, with but a slight, w w - . tical (.mct earnestly I oppused it in its earliest shape w hen the law contem plated reducing lhe pr.ee by fixing it at 50 cents each notice. It is fad that under tbe old postage law, some c! rks in forwarding a month's notices, have i , .1 i it , 1 enclosed the amount in on! dollar notes, and the posti ! age on a letter has reached 02 cents. Whether this , lt .L i .- . , was ikhk iioeuieuiaii inroogu pouiicai ipii ii we ' will not say. We have selected the following from aumbrn 0f (,..r. Df . Sltiuiar tone, to correct m be ,tatmeiltt and on aM,)nMt of and honest views and its manly independence. It is from the Indiana Blade: 03 rS Hie of the papers of this Sta'e arc making a fuss about the publishing of est ray notices in the paper published by lhe State Printer. The law is exactly as it should be, and those who complain of it inu't be rather poor in ' cyphering If arrangements were nude for publishing in local paper, we would never publish one of the cstray udverlisenients, hr tne reasons given below, and of course it would never be published at all. In this e Nitttv then? would not in all probability he more than one notice at a tiista, and for this we w ould get fifty cents ; and for tins fifty cents we would have to send Wie paper to each County Clerk (and there are ninety le rs are WOTUl PVC cents eacu, uiaauig ioui imiwra and fiftV cent-, so that our actual 1 s would not be less than four dollars on each notice. The State paper bv getting all of this work can ajbfd to do it, provi ded it does not look lor too extravagant proms. But, hat is of more importance than all this i-V that :ill ÜM estray notices are published in one paper,! mmi f0 J?' m to"ld 111 U!e office of each county.

At St. Jose, Vngns, and St. Miguel, Gen.

As to the writer's suggestions about abandoning the expedition, we presume others will differ from him; 1 r it cann t be expected Ol one who has communication? cutoff from him for months at a time w ho cannot possibly be supposed to be able to view the i 't ground on which he is called to act to be able to form the best judgment in tl.e world.

It consists chiefly of compliments. Thetollowing is translated from the Bepubiieano of thc23dol August: 'We see it stated in the Diario del Gohierno of the 18th inst., that the brigade which was ready to march al the time when the prmwuiamtenPi took place, h is not vet been able to leave, as it was desired to finish providing it with every thing necessary, in order that it may not depart like the brigades which the late administration caused to march, without equipments, and, above all, without ammunition.

On the 2$d of August, General Salaa issued a decree, declaring the constitution of 1824 5r the federal constitution in force until a new Constitution should bL established, abolishing the assembl es of the departments and requiring the present governen of department! to style themselves governors of States. The Vera Cruz fndicador of the i.7ih of August, states, that the preceding afternoon, a boat vas def snatched to the city from one of the U. IS. ships-of- ' war, under 0 tlag of truce, bearing a letter iddn BSed to the com isndant seneral. The boat returned im. nsedtately, the officer 111 charge saving that he had no . rs J orders to wait for an answer. The editors of the Indicad r say that they ascertained that the letter enclosed another from the Secretary id' Slate of the I'nited Slates, to the Mexican minister of foreign affaire, which the American Commodore requested should be sent to him. The ndicador says Ihat nothing eras known of the contents of the letter; but that the present government, w hose principle is to make known to the nation every thing that occurs, good or bad, w ill soon publish its contents. Santa Anna, in his reply to General Sa las's address Bays, that Ins wound having been irritated by his -ase. and bv excitement, it will be ncvessarv for him to wait at Encero until it is in a condition to enable him to travel.

A steamer was sent after him wilh the sheriff's posse, and a writ of habeas corpus, but it was too late, Capt. II. was taken, however, with his small boat returning to the city. The charge is that of kidnapping a freeman in Massachusetts. Advance is Wheat. The Mills in this place are now paying ttxtyßt cents jer bushel for wheat an advance f ten cents since our last publication. This is a considerable advance above I 'incinnatj prices, and we believe the highest price paid in this State.

Salt, Iron and Groceries are sold here at Cincinnati prices, end l'rv lioods are sold as cheap, if not cheaper, making it altogether the best trading point in the west for interior fauaners and dealers We refer our readers lo our advertisements f r the places to find cheap goods.
