W RIGHT Will address hid fellow citizens at the following places : Sullivan county, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2 o'clock, P. M. Greene county, Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2 o'clock. Monroe county, Thursday, Oct. 19, 2 o'clock. Owen county, Friday, Oct. 20, 2 o'clock. Putnam county, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2 o'clock. The friends of Cass and Butler will see to making the above appointments fur Mr. Wright in those counties, at such places as tiicy thinx beet, at the time? abovo mentioned, and advise Mr. Wright. We understand that Mr. Wright waa present at the Great Mas- Meeting of Indiana and Illinois, at Paris, on the 21st of September, and that 1ns speech on that occasion was every thing that his numerous friends in Indiana could have desired. Gov. French was present, and pronornced Wright's speech to be ore of thj best efforts he had heard during the canvass. We hope our friend. in Sullivan, Greene, Monroe, 0ven, and Putnam will rnskr arrangements 'o have a general tuai out at tiie above appointments. We warrant that Mr. Wright will nM disappoint them. We learn that the reason why Mr. Wright has not tsavelleu mo.e during the canvas over the State, is on account of siiktie? :n hi fdMuly; he has been doing govt! service, however, in portions of Indiana.

C. have recently preheated to Lt. Col. Fremont, late of the U. S. Army, through Hon. Mr. Rhett, a splendid sword, as a testimony of their high appreciation of his character and services. No man in tiie army or out of it is more deserving of such a compliment. "If Gen Taylor is elected, he will do more to euro the spirit of conquest, and check the spread of Slavery than any other man the Whigs can elect." John Q. Adams. We find the 'above in the Dayton Transcript. It is not true, and Mr. Adams never said any thing like it. This was manufactured cut of whole doth. Ct-The Cimbridgo Reveille still continues its slanders of the Indiana Volunteers, lt may answer its purprae in its own locality, but it will event-ially recoil upon itself. The slur against Mr. Smith, who served his full term in tfte service of his country, will be duly appreciated by his comrades. That against the Sentinel vc piss over as harmless, the editor being kn ttcn. He had better seek game of his own cilibre. fjrThe prefs of advertising shows for itself. That on our job 1 ist is still greater; and the absence of one of the editors and two of our hands, with the sickness of a third, we hope will be sufficient apology for apparent neglect in msny respects. 0- Wc sec it stated that Gen. Pillow is a candidate for Congress in Tennessee. This is from a whig paper, rnd should le received with due caution, though it may turn out to be true. fj7A regard for Whig principles forbids the nomination of Taylor. Indiana Journal,

OCT The editor of theState Journal rolls up his eyes in holy horror because in our last wo chose to say some things of Gen. Taylor i-Uinly. The Journal seems to think we should be sent to the Penitentiary for snying that Gen. Taylor is a vile old slanderer." This is a new penalty for telling the truth ! That Gen. Taylor has slandered and attempted to bring the volunteers generally, and Indiana's volunteers pnrticularly, into bad repute, and that too without just cause, cannot successfully be denied and whig editors are about the only persons who attempt to deny it. Tiiis must be admitted, for it is susceptible of the most dirtct and positive proof. Indiana's sons have been slandered then, and the people from the depth of their hearts have said to Taylor Qj- thou akt the max" who has done it. Eery slander is of necessity u7e, and because Taylor happens to hold a high position in the army, and is accidentally attracting much of public attention throughout the country, is no reason why a slander emanating from him should not be as vile as if it came from a more humble source, but on the contrary makes it more vile. Oh, but says the Journal, Gen. Taylor, on his return from reviewing the troops at Pascagouln, was received p.t Pass Christian, a few days ngo, in the most enthusiastic manner, by the people of that place." No matter for tbat ; as many or more would turn out to see him handed, any day. But Gen. Taylor says on that occasion, ' To them (the soldiers) belongs the glory, and to them I frankly yield all caim to the laurels that adorn their brows." Well, why in tue name of heaven, if he meant any part of this for Indiana, why did he not say so in his official reports, and when importuned to do them bare justice J And why, again, did he not afford a small pittance of relief fro'n his bountiful wealth to the two poor soldiers who applied to him but a f'e.v weeks ago; why die li2 turn roughly away from these poor men and leave them to suffer as he did 1 T.ie Joun.al continues, "The people of Indiana and of ihn u tiole ountry understand the Second Regiment milter perfTily well. They know that Gen. Taylor's Report was nad out from the teports of his subordinates, liie facts found by the Court of Inquiry subSfqiieiitly held, were never placed before Gen. Taylor i:i socli manner as to justify any correction of his official r.port. They know, too, that neither General Wool, or Lane or Col. Davis, all Locofocos, corrected th'i- reports, and that they remain on file in the War Department, as they were presented to Gen. Taylor." The first sentence is true, and we rejoice that it is so. The remainder to the end of the quotation is false as we have demonstrated over and over again, so far as Gen. Taylor and Gen. Lane arc concerned. Gen. Lane d id correct his report and Taylor refused to take notice of it, being determined to brand Indiana's troops as cnicards and fugitives. The Journal waxes more indignant as it proceeds; hear it: "(Jen. Taylor is denounced as a "Southern Slave Driver, and his supporters as "lLuiuhl" ' And again a few sentences below, 'IIov different i the language used by the Whig Pre?s, when speaking of their opponents ! However much we may difwitfi them on measures of public policy, we regard them as men. not "hounds" entitled to the same rights and privileges we enjoy, and worthy of the same respect." The world has already applied a much more withering epithet to thoe managers of the Whig party who foisted Gen. Taylor upon it as its candidate for President, than any which we have applied to then.. 'Throw principles and measures to the d 1, and go for availability and the Sfoils" is their game, openly avowed. Are we bound to ply such men with sweet and soothing words 1 Do they deserve it at the hands of honorable men 1 As to the manner in which the whig press speak of our party and its candidates. The Journal's assertion is not true. Gen. Cas$, than whom a better and purer man does not exist, is constantly characterized by the Journal and the whig papers generally as an old federalist, a cold-hearted, proud and unjust man; as having sold whiskey to the poor Indians at forty cents per gallon; as having oppressed the por and made an imtnen.e fortune out of them by unjust means; as being ihe servile tool of Louis Philhppe, King of France ; ns having swindled his fellow partners in business transaction-; ; and ns having drawn lire sums of money from the National Treasury on Iiis own draft for services which were never rendered, each and every one o'' which charges are as false as the man's heart who could make them is deceitful and wicked. Col. Weiler, of Ohio, tiie democratic candidite for Governor is called a thief by these same respectful and considerate gentlemen. What hypocrisy it is for the Journal to set up such a claim as it dors in the exlract quoted ! Hear the Journal again, "Not atirf:cd with thus denouncing their opponents, the editors of the "Sentinel" most grossly traduce those they pretend to regard i s their friends. They charge that they (dd themselves to the Vhig3 in lova, und fear they will do s. in Indiana V We charged no such thing. We charged that the whigs brought up a roving band of outlawed Mormons, hilf of v honi h, u'd ha,e been Landed for crin a aait.st the laws of the land long ago, to vote the

whig ticket :n Iowa, und it has been proved since that our statement was correct. Dare the Journal accept our former proposition in regard to Gen. Taylor and the Indiana volunteers, to wit., that tli2 Journal publish Gen. Lane'b defence of himself and those um'er his command, and thereby end the controversy ! Dare the Journal let Gen. Lane speak to its readers, or is it afraid of the exposure Taylor and his lying report would thereby undergo 1 We shall see. CO-The Whigs of the State of New York, (says the St. Louis Union,) have thrown overboard their present Governor, John Yon no, contrary to all usage in such cases. Why is this 1 Our readers will remember that Gov. Young was one of ihe earliest and most zealous supporters of Taylor's nomination for the Presidency. He also vindicated the justice of the Mexican war. in his last annual message. For those two offences against whiggcry he has been overthrown. The New York whigs are resolved, like the whigs of of Ohio, to wreak their vengeance on ail wjjo aided in forcing Taylor on the party. Even many of those who will veto for Taylor, will punish those who reduced them to so sad a dilemma. Mr. Fish, who is the present whig nominee, was a Clay man to the last. Friendship for Taylor is an unpardonable- offence to New York whiggcry. What a party ! The sap-head of a little thumb concern ot Charleston, Ind., yclept "Banner," is undertaking to prove that, Gen. Lane, and all the other officers and men of the Indiana regiments were coicard! They will answer him or it, at tho polls. The U.S. Navy. The navy of the U. States now comprises seventy-eight vcsels, of nil descriptions, of which 11 are ships-of-the-line, 17 frigates, tdoops-of-war 11 steamers, 5 schooners, 7 store-vessels, 4 brigs and 1 razee, carrying a total of 2,174 guns. Of these, "."S guns are employed in the Pacific, 77 in the Mediterranean, VM by homo squadron, 70 on the coasl of Africa, 74 on the coast of Brazil, t( in tho East Indies, G in the coast survey, and one in the lako service; while 1U vessels arc on the stocks, rating G10 guns ; 15 in ordinary, rating "JO guns; and 5 others preparing for sea, rating 119 guns.

decidedly, if its advocates tell the truth. Indeed, it , not. bo alarmed about Gen. Cass in Ohio, even should is in a declii.e," got the galloping consumpiion, cvi-; they hear loud crowing from the whigs, in Indiana, detitly. Read the following from the New York ; over the Ohio State elections. Our democratic friends Mirror, an original Taylor paper, and then say what, may rest assured, that Ohio is safe for Gen. Cass unyou think of the condition and prospects of its cause: j der any circumstances that may arUo.

44 Whigs of New York ! If you dont want Lewis Cass for your President, you must go to work. We mean to 4 tell the truth and shame the devil," (and the whigs too if wc can,) and we do not hesitate to say that the whig party of this city deserve defeat for theirapathy. A hard-fisted working-man, who thinks he could circulate two thousand copies of the Mirror containg Gen. Taylor's letters, where they could make ahm st that number of converts lo our cause, has been trying, for a we h, to lind a finance committee who will raise A2i) to pay for tho documents, but uilhnul success. An the whigs disconsolate and discouraged because Horace Greeh-y and Joe White have left the party? What are the 4 Old MVn's C untniltee about 1 We might as well Lave an 4 Old Woman's Committee for all we can discern in the way of active energy in the cause." Pioei ve Til is. Tiie Greenville (Ohio) Patriot, a conscientious whig paper made the following remarks, some time since. We wish our whig friends to preserve it. "The speculators in Taylorism are in the main j composed of broken down political hacks of both parj tics." 44 ALL, or very j nearly all, of the "demonstrations" made in favor of ) Gen. Taylor, are the result of the Schkmi.v; of such i ..Kt:...! . . Ii.ll'C. T- . 7 1 or 1 1 pou.Kiii juwa&cs as Uhu 1 rec it , j r.mes waisoii w e'D, and James Gordon Bennett. Tiie People the Farmers, Mechanics and Laborers have nothing to do with them." 44 But wc DENY that Gen. Taylok is popular with the M..ssr." 44 We don't b-'licve he would receive FIFTY votes in DARKE COUNTY (where we poll 3,0(O) if the election were to-morrow. Wc don': behove he would yet K,(i('0 votes in Ohio, if he were placed upon the track ut the next election." Shameful. 'Ihe following is from the New Orleans Chronicle : Uou-L uns! 2te:ity feiici'OMty xit lZnst I'ascapoulii. Two poor sick discharged soldiers came no to the betel, who had hy sickness been entirely bereft of means, and wished to reach New Orleans where they had friends and some money, and they, in their dilrts, applied with tears in their eyes to their noble, lion-hearted Rough and Ready chief, who had perhaps led them in health to battle, victory, and glory on the plains in Mexico they wanted only two dollars to take them lo New Orleans who as Readily evaded them by saying they must call on the Quarter Master, or must speak lo the Quarter Master. One of the soldiers replied, 44theboat is in view, we want to leave in her," and then appealing again to their General, sayi ing, 44 we will die here, we will die here, wc want to get away, there is no time to lose ;" the General then Roughly turned his hack upon them and walked away upon the gallery to a groupe of ladies and commenced conversation with them. As their old General turned from them one of the toldiers says to his comrade, 4I did not think Gen. Taylor was such a man." At this stage of the affair, a plain country gentleman observing it all with amazement, and being moved by the emaciated deathly appearance of the sick soldiers who were mere skeletons from the Mexican diarrhcea, readily gave them two dollars, all they wanted they eaid. If the foregoing facts are doubted or denied the proof will he forthcoming. Whigs, do you not admire your candidate! Generous man ! F'ncts for Politicians. Singular fcaluius in the Presidential election for the fast three terms : In lSWi the Democatic electoral vote was IGU Whig H O; la 14 the Democratic electoral vote was HO Whig 105; in 1810 the Whig vote wss 210, or just double that of 1814. A if er States have invariably given a Whig electoral vote ; eight States have invariably given a Democratic vote ; four States have voted twice Whig and once Democrat, re States have voted twice Democrat and once Whig. The following nre the vine Slates which invariably voted the Whig ticket : Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Tennessee and Ohio. Democratic States; New Hampshire, Virginia, j fcoutti Carolina, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri, Arkani sas and Michigan. J The following four States have voted twice Whig ami once Democrat: Georgia, Connecticut, Indiana j and North Carolina. J The fol low inttjive States have voted twice Democrat and once Whig : Maine, New york, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Mississippi. Such an have virtue alwayp in their months, and neglect it in practice, are like a hnrp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music.

Circular of the Demon: tic. Slate Centr;il C'oiumiltcc. TO TIIE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF INDIANA. In little over four weeks from this time, the people

j National lirpuniiromsui and modern W higgery, lias never been seen abandoning all principle until the present election never has been seen until now, supporting a man for President, who refuses to be the exponent of its principles; hence, in the coming election, it would be well for Democrats to guard against every species of intrigue and duplicity. Here, in Indiana, where our State elections were carried by a majority of six thousand, in the popular vote, and by a majority of twenty-six on joint ballot in the Legislature, the idea has entered the minds of the wire-workers of the whig party, that by a secret organization in every township in the State, tho object of which is to get every whig voter to the polls, and discourage every democrat from going there, they can even succeed in this State in consequence of the apathy and neglect of the democrats. Their hope is also, should they not Micceed in the Presidential election, of which the more discerning have faint hopes, they can hi 1 reduce our innjoritrs. as to give them a chance in our State elections next summer, for Congress and the Legislature, and this is no doubt a dearer object with many of them, than even success in the Presidential election. The question prevents itself, will the democrats of Indiana, by failing to attend at the ballot-box in November, weaken the majorities they obtained at the August election, and by that means encourage the whigs to struggle for the ascendency at our next state elections? We are also on the eve of the Ohio State elections, where a most singular anomaly, in political matters, is presented. In that State, to a great extent, the whig and free-soil parties are united on candidates for State officers, although bitterly opposed to each other in a Presidential candidate. Tho whig candidate for Governor, in Ohio, refuses to advocate the election of General Taylor fr President this satisfies the free-soil party of that State. The whigs having no other resort, are compelled to support him. The whigs are also supporting at least four decided members of tho free-soil party for Congress, having no candidatfH of their own. The whigs here in Indiana, by way of keeping up th'ir spirits, openly boast that in Ohio the free-soil men have made a bargain to support Taylor for President if the whijs will support their candidates for Governor and Congress; but in this they are greatlv mistaken. The free-soil men of Ohio have no need of making pledges to the whijjs, for the latter party have no other alternative j hut to support nnti-Taylnr whigs, or suffer democrats to he elected. Their hatred of the democratic party induces them to net with the friends of Van Buren and t Adams in the State elections, and democrats should 1 The elections in Maine, which have just transpired, enables us to put that Slate down for Cass and Butler as certainly as if they had already received the votes of the people of that S'ate, and the democrats of the North will be true to their integrity. The reduced whig vote in North Carolina, and the triumphant democratic majorities in Arkansas and Missouri, show that the South also will not desert democratic principles. In the States where State elections have already taken place, since the nominations at Baltimore and Philadelphia, the nn-gregato democratic over the whig majorities are nearly forty thousand voles in States too, comprising some of th" whig strong holds of the Union. If there was nothing else, this would, of itc??lf, prove the triumphant march of democratic principles, throughout the Union ; and in the language of our own Indianu resolutions, knowr.g no east, west, uorlh or south in their language and sentiment. If it were neeepstry to appeal to sectional feeling", we have ev-ry thing to urge in favor of our candidates: for the balance of the democrats of the Union have been generous to the West in giving her both candidates, from States too, one oti the North, the other 0:1 the South of Indiana. We should bo proud of the honor, by voting and doing all we can for our own candidates : but never harbor that sectional feeling which has been so generously waived in our favor. We cannot too much urge, upon every democratic voter in the State, the necessity of attending the polls at the Presidential election and casting his vote. Also, that every democrat sees that his neighbor attends. Conveyances should bo prov'ded for the old, the feeble, the sick and infirm to get them to the poll?. The coi.ntv, township, and road district committees should be active; the enemy are secretly organizing, and are determined, if possible, to bring every voter to the polls. If in any county, either the county, township, or road district committees are not now appointed, these committees should bo speedily appointed, even if meetings have to be called for that purpose. And where vacancies exist in any of these committees they should be immediately filled with good and true men, who will roll up their sleeves and immediately go to work. Let us all, committee-men nnd democrats generally, give a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together, and Indiana will roll up at least a majority often thousand votes for Cass and Butler.

Wc have not seen a better and harder hit upon the Taylor whigs, than the following pithy putting of the case by Mr. Bolts in his last letter: ,4But suppose I were to sy to tho whigs of this district next spring, that I would as soon accept a nomination at the hands of the locofocos as from them, and that I would make no pledges, ami would not be the exponent of their party principles; and that, if they elected me, it must be on their own responsibility ; I beg to ktiow what twenty years of laborious work in the whig cause would avail me 1 And why shatild I not have as much right to take that ground as den, Taylor Vf 0""Wecopy the following rich 'tin from the Spring field (Ohio) Republic of last Tuesday: raO DICK LOGAN.

Fiom the Lrui$ville I)emcert. It will be n mei! b r d that 01.0 Slewart, of Pennsylvani'i, we h iii ve a mi ce-s. r of Ojh and a tit successor he is inad.'a spt e:", in which h made out a frauduh-nt, lying, tnoiisliou- account of etra allowance made to General Cass. The whole thing was exposed by the I Pm. James A . McCIernaiul. so that Stewart, if he had possessed the h ast scum; of shame, would have sneaked home and never hld up his head again amongst white nan. He had made out some hundred thousands of dollars as h iving been paid to(ieneral Cass; whereas, in fact, the whole sum was about

914,000; and this sum was allowed and paid by the! most unquestionable authority. We simll not take; the trouble to expose this speech of the Ocle Stewart. ! A man who could be gulhd by such a whig roorback has not sense enough to be a democrat, at any rale. ; He ought to vote w hig, and better do it. j There is another matter, however, that we shall) publish, just to scare our coon neighbor into his hole. He thinks, or tries to make his renders think, that j these things called rations are nil eaten by those who! get them; so that when a man getsiU) rations he eats them all up. On the strength of this idea the editor puts fortli,tliinp,8 with which he thinks to pas off as witticisms. In order to help him on to more capital of this kind, we must publish the extras paid to General Taylor. Previous to the adjournment of the late session of Congress, a motion was made by whigs to examine at the proper departments, and have reported all these extra allowances to General Ciss. The democrats oroposed to amend the motion by having also the allowances made to Taylor. Some whigs opposed this, but it carried, and the report was made.
