Tl, fr;rnr!s of the late Governor Willard, in New Albany, have determined to erect a suitable monument over the remains in the cemetery in this city. The necessary fund could be easily raised here, but it has been suggested that thousands of the friends of the late Governor would desire to contribute to the fund, and hence it has been determined to solicit contributions from the people of the entire State no one individual to give more than one dollar. A circular will be issued in a few clays, or as soon as the details can be arranged. New Albany Ledger. The above is the most agreeable paragraph which we have read in the Udger for a long time. We trust there will be no difference among Democrats about a monument to Willard. He desei-ved well of his party while living, and his memory should now be revered, when all that is mortal of him is dead. Let a monument be erected to the late Governor, to remind every young Democrat of genius and talent, no matter how humble may be his present station, of what he may become by following in the political footsteps of Willard. Democrats! send along your dollars, to aid this praiseworthy undertaking. A Breckinridge Editor Triumphant in Indiana.. We take great pleasure in recording the fact that A. B. CARLTON, Esq., the late Editor of the Old Line Guard, has been triumphantly elected Prosecuting Attorney for the second Circuit. The Douglas men in several counties were very bitter against him, and did all they could to persuade old Democrats to strike his name from the ticket We trust our friend Carlton will keep on the stump, and now prosecute most vigorously the men, Douglas and Johnson, who in their speeches on the 28th ult., on the old Fair ground in Indianapolis, instigated their followers in the second district to pursue fuch a course against him. Five Breckinridge Men Elected to Congress from Pennsylvania, It is stated, on the authority of Forney, of the Philadelphia Frets, that all the five Democrats elected to CougreM from Fenasylvaoia are Breckinridge men.

"Prove It!"

The Louisville Courier is anxious to have it proved, that Mr. Bright voted the Republican ticket at the late State election. Mr. Bright has not yet denied the charge, and we presume will not. Ot course nobody knows but Mr. Bright himself, the names upon the ticket he voted. State Sentinel. The Sentinel reminds us of the man who ran about in a crowd inquiring, " Who struck Billy Patterson ?" The Douglas State ticket was struck very hard at the late election by somebody, that's a fact. But who struck it? that's the question. The Sentinel first said, that it was defeated by the aid of Republican votes imported from other States. Then it said that it was defeated by the Breckinridgejnen, and thatjdessrs. Bright and "Fitclf voted against it '"These two assertions contradicted each other. If it was defeated by imported Republicans, it, of course, follows, that it could not have been struck down by the Breckinridgers. Now, the question again arises, " who did strike Billy Patterson ? " Will nobody answer ? The Sentinel has been running out of the State, in various directions, to ascertain who did it First, the Sentinel ran to Cincinnati, and was told there by the Gazette man, a rank Republican, that it was Bright who struck Billy. This ,was denied. Then the Sentinel ran to Louisville, and was told there by that veracious KnowNothing, Prentice, that it was really Bright, and no one else. This was again denied. Then the Sentinel said that the editor of the Indianapolis Journal had admitted that Bright was the very man, and no mistake. But the Journal editor, when he found the question becoming a serious one, " who struck Billy ? " denied that it had said Bright did it, and said that the Sentinel must have inferred it, from one of its articles written in a Pickwickian sense. This started the Sentinel on another trip to Cincinnati, where it was told by the Enquirer editor, that somebody had informed him that some other person had said, that he had been told by a gentleman of veracity, that he believed that French had guessed that Bright did actually strike the blow that knocked down Billy Patterson. During all the time that the SetUinel has been thus running about out of the State, for information as to how Mr. BriMit voted in the State, the friends of the Senator have be n calling lustily upon it lo "prove it" "prove it" "prove it." And now, lo-and-behold ! the Sentinel admits that " nobody k nows how Mr. Bl ight voted but himself." Such is the beginning and progress of this very serious question ; but the matter is not yet decided. The question still is, " who struck Billy Patterson? " . The great body of the Bieckinridgers in the Pocket (their strong hold) did not do it; tor the returns show that they nearly all voted for Hendricks and the other candidates on the ticket with him. We are very sure that we did not strike Billy, for we voted for none of the candidates for State officers at all, on either side contenting ourselves, as we did, by voting for two or three Breckinridge men for County offices, whose names were on the Hendricks State ticket. All of our friends, so far as we know, pursued the same course. "II 'ho, then, did strike Billy Patterson?" Did the imported Republican voters, whom the Sentinel first charged with the offence did they strike the blow ? We cannot tell ; but whoever did do it, as an Irishman would say, "done it nately." WTe rather guess, however, that the little Sucker and the saloon candidate for Vice President did the business, when, on the old State Fair Grounds, they threatened to "whip" those awful " disunionisis," " traitors," and " camp-followers," the Breckinridge men, and the Republicans, altogether. The Breckiiiridgcrs didn't care about being " whipped," and so a great many of them stayed away from the polls, apprehensive, as some might have been, since the partial fusion of the Douglas men and Know Nothings, that the brass knucks might be there. The loss of their votes, resulting from their absence, was a bad blow to Billy. : But there is one thing the Sentinel may rely on, and that is this: although the Breckinridgers, in large numbers, didn't go to Hie polls to vote against the Douglas State ticket, in October, they will all be on hand in Novemberthe sixth day of November, to face Douglas himself. The Little Giant Billy will then receive a blow from them which will be a settler and the question will never be in doubt afterwards, "icho struck Billy Patterson!" Trading and TraffickingA Great Business Week in Indianapolis, The Sentinel's object in raising a dust about Mr. Bright's vote at the State election is, to divert the attention of the people from the coquetting going on between the Douglas men and the Know-Nothings. There are whispers in every quarter that the leaders of the two factions in Indiana have been busily engaged all this week in dark corners and by-ways in negotiations to bring about a consolidation of the Doug1 is and Bell electoral tickets. The Douglas leaders have offered, we understand, to give the Know-Noth-iix's four of the electors, if the Bell men will agree to withdraw the ticket which they have now in the field, and unitcjwith them. We hear that the Bell nien insist upon having seven of the Electors leaving six for the Douglas men. How the negotiations will terminate, we cannot say. But if what the Cincinnati Enquirer says about Bell's chance of success in the House of Representatives is true, his friends would proe themselves to be ninnies if they accept less than a majority on the ticket. The Enquirer says that Bell will carry more votes in the South than Breckinridge, which, of course, is all fol-de-rol; but if the Bell K.-N.'s believe it, they should exert themselves to get every vote they can in this Stite. Every ' one will have very great influence m his scale, provxi ded he gets into the House. They should keep a j sharp look out lor the Douglas managers. If the I Union ticket should be elected in New York, the j eighteen Douglas men, whose names are on it, might 7 . -, ,. , , t .Kn l!tL. nrtiv..l.tatil1nrr lliow liavo agreed to ,ote for the candidate opposed to Lincoln who shall receive the highest vote in other States.

that easy, if Bell should not receive more than eigh- sas) Constitution, was actually the god-father of that teen votes in the South, (and no one but the Enquirer instrument himself 1 As little faith as we had in editor believes he will get even that number,) the Douglas' political Iwnesty as much as we had seen of vote of Indiana may decide whether Bell or Douglas his two faces on the Territorial question since he perwill go into the House along with Breckinridge and ambulated the South and the North we could hardLincoln.

There can be no question that one, if not both of these parties, will be cruelly sold ; and that the honest mon of both will wake up one of these mornings and find the coalition ticket under the sills of their doors, if not in the columns of the State Sentinel. Let them look- out.

Mr. Bright has Not yet Denied the Charge. Slate Sentinel. Mr. Bright has not been in Indiana since tins election. He left home the night that the polls were closed, for New York. He, therefore, has not seen, in all probability, either the Seniinel or JjUeclwvge It; howeverTthe Seiiiinel cannot - furnish any better evidence in its support, (that of French, the Jeffersonville Republican editor,) it is very likely that Mr. Bright will not condescend to notice it. French's evidence don't amount to anything, anyhow, whether true or false. The Sentinel is very eager for the Senator of Indiana to deny the frivolous charge made by a Republican editor, as to the vote which it is said he gave for State officers. Why does not the Douglas organ deny the serious charges made against its idol, the Senator from Illinois, by not only Republican editors, but also by Republican members of Congress? The Sentinil has been as mum as any of its present Know Nothing asso ciates could be, about the charges made by Burhngame, and other Republican leaders, respecting Douglas' offer to Sell himself to their parly in 1858. Why does not the Sentinel meet those charges? Has it received instructions from Douglas to keep dark ? He was charged with holding several caucuses at his house in Washington, of the Republican Senators. He was charged with making several Overtures to them, inviting their support, to aid him in his re-election to the Senate in that year. He was charged with offering, if they would give him such aid in 1858, to fight their battle in 18C0. He was charged with saying that he had taken a " through ticket " for the Republican camp; and that he would " cut down the bridges," which connected him with the Democratic party as soon as he got the "crowd" over. Horace Greeley, the leading Republican editor in the country, was present at one of these caucuses, and published in his Tribune that the overtures then made by Douglas were " sa'isfictory." Greeley, whatever may be his political errors and they, certainly, are black enough is still, in a personal point of view, a respectable and responsible man, a very different man from French. Has not Douglas, during all this campaign, been engaged in making rood his overtures ? Has he not been making politi cal capital for the Republicans wherever he has made speeches? Has he not been laboring in Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, to get the " crowd" over ? Has he not opposed, everywhere, a fusion of his friends with the Breckinridge men, while his friends have sought a fusion with the Republicans in Pennsylvania and Oregon, and with the Know-Not hings in every other State ? Did he not tell Blair a long time ago that he had " Jo Lane's head in a basket," and that he intended to give his seat in the Senate to E. D. Baker, a notorious Republican And does not' the recent news from Oregon prove that his declared intentions have been carried out? Does it not prove that his friends in the Legislature in that State have actually nominated, in caucus with the Re" publicans, the said Baker? Did he not promise Blair, the Republican member of Congress from the St. Louis district in Missouri, that he would give him the seat of James S. Green in the Senate, if Blair would use his influence, in 1858, to induce his Republican friends in Illinois to return him to the Senate? And are not the Douglas men and Republicans in Missouri now acting in concert to defeat Mr. Green, and to . carry out Douglas' plans? AH these charges have been blinked by the Sentinel. It has nothing to sayabout these doings of its great Magnus Apollo to overthrow the Democratic ascendancy, in the Senate as well as in the Presidency. It has not a word to sayabout Douglas' vote in the Senate to oust the Democratic Senators from Indiana, and to give their seats to Henry S. Lane and Mr. McCarty. But if it can find a little frivolous item in an obscure Republican paper, merely inferring, from some remark made by Mr. Bright before the election, that he was opposed to the Hendricks State ticket, it seizes hold of it with a nervous clutch and ushers it forth in its columns as evidence that he actually did vote against that ticket. r No paper claiming to be Democratic, was ever known so derelict in its duty to its party as the Sentinel has proved in its attempt to uphold Douglas. None has proved so ready to seize upon the most trifling pretext to injure Bright, and to keep alive the discord and disunion amongst Democrats. Why does the Sentinel labor so hard to keep up the split in the party? AVhy did it refuse to support the overture made by the Breckinridge State Committee to the Douglas Committee in July last, for an union upon one electoral ticket ? Did it not refuse to support that overture because it came from Bright's friends ? Why does it not notice the proceedings of the Democratic meetings in Vanderburgh, Monroe, and other counties, composed both of Breckinridge and Douglas Democrats, who have taken ground in favor of the Breckinridge overture ? Why does it not notice the course of the Lafayette Arg us, Greenfield Sentinel, if not other Douglas papers, who have come out in its support ? Is it not manifest, that it designs to keep open the breach in the Democratic ranks, in order J that the Republicans may ride into power through the ; division ?

The Douglas Men Helped to Defeat the Democratic State Ticket in Pennsylvania. ,. ' ADMISSION OF THE FACT BY THE LEADING DOUGLAS ORGAN OF PHILADELPHIA. We invite attention to the following article from the Louisville Courier. It will be seen, from the extracts which it embraces from Forney's Press, the chief Douglas organ in Philadelphia, that it is admitted that "theRepublicans, in a large degree, are indebted for the result over which they are now exulting in Pennsylvania, to Lehman, the confidential friend of Douglas, and tc prmcjp(d leader of his forces in that State. So it goes there as it does in Oregon. While the Douglas men and the Republicans are coalescing in

those States, the Know-Nothings and Douglas men are fusing in Indiana and Ohio, and all the Southern States. In all parts of the country, the three branches of the Opposition are now making common cause against the friends of Breckinridge and Lane: In Pennsylvania, it seems, the straight Douglasites can only claim one member of Congress elect Lehman, of the first district, granting that ho will be entitled to his seat. The certificate isgiven in this instance, Lehman contends unjustly, to the straight Black Republican. Of Lehman, Forney's Press, the Douglas organ, s eaks as "the only Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania identified with the great struggle against the corruption and treacheries of the administration of Mr. Buchanan;" and taking occasion of the circumstances of his case, it declares that "thousands of hon est Democrats" (Douglasites) sympathise in. the joy with which the Black Republicans hail their magnificent triumph in that State. It seems that Lehman, who appears to be about as good an Abolitionist as his opponent, has been refused the certificate of election by the Black Republican authorities; and the Press is complaining of what it evidently considers bad treatment from its friends and allies, and thinks the certificate should have been given to Lehman, not so much because he-is entitled to it, as because to deprive him of it is to strike down one of " the men who litis stood in the forefront in opposition to Mr. Buchanan and his Administration, and to whom, in a large degree, they (the Black Republicans) are indebted for the result over which they are now exulting." This, it thinks, the Black Republicans cannot allord to do; particularly as, in this case, " thousands" of their own people, " in all parts of the State," have felt so much anxiety that Lehman should be elected. We commend the following paragraphs from the Press as furnishing evidence that Curtin is, "in a lare decree," indebted to the Douglas men for his election over the Democratic candidate. Hie JJouglas organ here will either deny what Forney says, or, admitting its truth, have "no complaint to utter" against its friends in Pennsylvania for the course they pursued : " The action, yesterday, of the return judges for the city of Philadelphia, in the case of William E. Lehman, claiming to be the Representative elect from the First Congressional District, will be regarded with general surprise. So much anxiety had been manifested by independent men of every party, including thousands of Republicans in all parts of the State, that the only Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania identified with the great struggle against the corrup tion and treacheries 01 the Administration oi J"iBuchanan, should be returned to the new Congress, that the decision of the return judges, under the circumstances of the case, will be looked upon with much suspicion. " The Republican party have just achieved a magnificent triumph, and in the joy with which they hail this triumph they have the sympathy of thousands of honest Democrats. They cannot afford to stain their victory with fraud. They cannot afford to assist in striking down, by the basest agents, the men who have stood in the forefront in opposition to Mr. Buchanan and his Administration, and to whom, in a large degree, they are indebted lor the result over winch they are now exulting." ' The Douglas Flag Struck Down in Han- : cock County. It gives us much comfort to say that the Greenfield Sentinel, heretofore a Douglas paper, has struck the little Sucker's name from its flag staff, and hoisted the broad pennant of Breckinridge and Lane. We say, success to the Greenfield Sentinel! Hear what it says, upon taking its post upon the ramparts of the true De mocracy ; : RESULT OF THE STATE ELECTION. The election is over, and the Democratic party defeated. It requires no extraordinary political sagacity to see who is responsible for this defeat of the Democracy. All compromises and overtures, made by the Breckinridge Democracy, were scornfully rejected spit upon ; and no one doubts but Mr. Hendricks had the power in his own hands, to say whether a compromise should be adopted by his course he said it should not, and an overwhelming defeat is the consequence. It is then obvious that the defeat of the Democracy in Indiana, and perhaps the whole Union, is attributed to a few original Douglas men such men as Colonel Walker, Lew AVallace, Bingham, the Abolition Editor nf the. Slate. Sentinel, and a few other minions of Doug las and Abolitionism. The old Democrats of Indiana labored for a compromise the new-fangled, jack-legged Democrats defeated it. Who, now, is responsible for this defeat? The neonle will know who to hold responsible, and will put their foot on the necks of those men who WW in '58, and then initiated the defeat of the Democracy in iU We must recollect that the overthrow of the Democ racy this vear can be traced to the bolting movement in '58, of "the original Douglas Democracy, as its only legitimate source. In '58 the Douglas Democrats struck down the stronc champions ot Democracy in Pennsvlania and Indiana. As soon as they had suc ceeded in disorganizing the party all over the country fhi.v hpimn to f fill into the Republican party. During the last four years Douglas has made nothina but little stump speeches and converts to the Republican party. He came to Indiana to carry things by storm heralded as the champion of squatter sovereignty. Well, he did carry the State by storm to the Republican party. Indiana Dave JBuclianan 25.000 maioritv in 1856 in 1860 Douglas carries Indiana against the Democrats by 10,000 majority on the State ticket and Lincoln will beat Douglas 40,000 in this State. The Douglas Democracy now want to compromise, when the party is defeated, when a com- ' promise can do no good.

The last sentence of the above paragraph, which we find among the selections in the Cincinnati Courier, is incorrect Major Noaii, who commenced his editorial career in New York as the leading organ of the Democratic party during the last year of Madison's Administration, wrote the drama of " She would be a Soldier." The present editor of the Old Line Guard was then a small boy, engaged in Noah's office, (the National Advocate,) and used to carry the Major's manuscript copy of the drama to the printers, and rcturn the proof-sheets to him. He, therefore, knows

that Barker did not write, " She -would be a Soldier;" but he deserves great credit for other literary, as well as political, productions from his pen; and especially for the able support which he gave to Madison's Administration, when he loaned his money to the Government to carry on the last war with England.

A Douglas Editor in Pennsylvania Don't Like the little Sucker's interference in the State Election. The Pittsburgh I'ost, an intense Douglas paper, but anxious to carry the State against Lincoln, has become a littled riled, and gives its favorite the following backhander: Forney, and other irrepressible conflicted, are very fond of telling the people that Douglas is opposed to fusion; that he wishes his friends to make tickets and stick to them, &c, &c. Now, we have before said, and reiterate the satement, that it makes no difference to those who prefer Douglas to all other candidates, what he thinks ot their local tactics in tins campaign. It is no manner of consequence to us what Mr. Dougglas thinks of the expedient which we in lennsylvania, or they in New York, may adopt to advance one common principle, provided we resort to nothing unfair or dishonorable." It is our own business, purely; and in no better way can Mr. Douglas prove his devo tion to the excellent doctrine ot "non-intcrvcnuon, than by letting us "manage our own affairs in our own wav." So much for Mr. Douglas' interference in State politics out of Illinois, where he lives. From Henry County. Julian's Abolition District, October 17, 1860. $ Messrs. Editors : I am a reader of the New York Day Book and the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel the former standing upon the Constitution, advocating the true Democracy, the Union, &c., the latter for semiAbolitionism, Douglasism, squatterisin, and all other isms opposed to pure and undefiled Democracy of other days. His honor, of the Sentinel, since the election, thinks that the Hon. Jesse D. Bright voted for the Abolition State ticket. He and others of the Douglas craft, have the audacity to say that the Breckinridge men, led on by Bright and Fitch, were the cause of the defeat of the State ticket. Bright and Fitch are fully able to defend themselves. We don't believe a word of it here. But suppose he or they did vote for Lane. Who voted to keep Bright and Fitch out of the Senate? Senator Douglas. He voted to give H. S.Lane a seat in the Senate that is a well known fact. I say to Bingham and Douglas, " Physicians, heal yourselves." It comes with an ill grace from such allies of negro equality supporters to charge us National Union Bright-Breckinridgc men with so grave an accusation, that we voted or assisted in the election of the Republican ticket. Those that live in glasses should not throw wool. So far as (his locality is concerned, the editor of the Sentinel is much mistaken. In this Godforsaken Abolition town there are a few Breckinridge votes, and, to my personal knowledge, they voted the State ticket, from T. A. Hendricks down not with a good hearty will, but as the best we could do, under the circumstances. Thei-e was no disruption of the Democratic party when this ticket was made, but since there has been. Who brought it about? Such men as the editor of the Sentinel, the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and such men as his lordship, Ed. Johnson, of Newcastle, who fell upon his dignity in this place, and declared that he had voted for Douglas fifty odd times, and would have voted till the present time but what he should have got the nomination. It was, with the North, Douglas first, Douglas last, and Douglas all the time. Douglasism, or ruin, was the motto. Now we see and feel the result. AVe expected a defeat so soon as we went on board with the Douglas craft, therefore we are not disappointed.
