Old Chippewa in the Field! Meeting of the Soott Club!!! The public are respectfully invited to attend % nesting of the Scott Club, on Saturday evening next, the 10th Inst., in the Warner building. As the object of the Association is to disseminate troth and correct error, instead of creating discord among the people, our political opponents are respectfully invited to attend. The Whigs, one and all, are specially invited to be present. Hon. 8. Meredith—James Elder.—U is an unpleasant duty to refer to the course of the editor of the Jeffersonian in reference to Mr. Meredith. It is unpleasant, because, it more or less involves personal feelings, and these should ntvar enter into the discussions of a political eanrasa. Ir the first plaee Mr. Elder published m article as editorial, charging that Mr. Meredith had caused a Mr. M'Aneray to be discharged ttem labor on the Central Railroad, because he was a leeofoco. This charge was disproved by the evidence, sworn evidence, of as good min as are to be found in this county. This refutation by Whigs and Democrats, would have been sufficient in any court of justice to have exonerated Mr. Meredith, and to have established a full and complete justification of his course.— Mr. Elder himself eould not resist the force of the testimony presented by Messrs. Brady and Victory,' and the Directors of the Turnpike company. We are informed that Mr. Elder has aoknowledged “that he did not believe it, but it would do to urge against Mr. Meredith Until after the election." Whether he made this confession privately or not, his public course in regard to it is reprehensible in the extreme.— He published a base and infamous slander upon a highly honorable eitisen of the county, and when the evidence to refute that slander, without one word of comment, was offered to him, and its publication requested, he eoldlv and meanly replies, ibst he “can fill his pkper with more interesting matter.*' It <■ Very true, thet it would not be interesting to an editor, at least, to have bis own assertions proven to his readers to be wilful and malicious falsehoods. But would not even the code of honor that eoutrols the most debased, have required that the refutation should go to the same reader thet had read the We think it would, anti Bro. Elder has placed himself by his conduct in this affair beneath those who outrage community with impunity. Now, no man in this community believes the charge brought against Mr. Meredith by Elder. He does not believe it himself, and yet week after Week he reiterates the slander—keeps it afloat—persists in giving it currency. How long will he have to pursue such a course to earn for himself the name and character of a common libeller. He has it now. The brand is upon his forehead and he dare not look an honest man in the eye without exposing the bread, for years he slandered Mr. Clay, and while n luge portion of his party have been forced to acknowledge his purity of character, his integrity of purpose, his unflinching patriotism, and high devotion of the country, Bro. Elder has never had the magnanimity to take back his foul aspersions upon the character of that great and good man. Elder, for yean has been in tho habit of most bitterly villifying and ahusdUring the Hon. C. B. Smith, and not content to eoafiae himself to the time Mr. Smith wne before the people as a public man, he pursues him with the thirst of.* vampyre into privato U, Other good men tw k* A* ol> jeet es Ms slanderous pen, and now every number of bis paper, teems all over with the slime of bis corruption, vißifyiog better men than himself Not content with this M'Aneray slender. Elder has get Up anew item. He charge* in his paper of find inst., that Mr. Meredith '‘prevailed upon some twenty odd Irishmen, who work on the Central rand, to go with hiss to Centreville to declare their intentions to become

citizens, promising, it is. said, that their pay should go oh the same ns ts they were l< work. He brought them to Centreville in a wagon with i Mott flag flyhig ove* them—paid for their papers at the Clerk's office, and then took them to a grocery and treated them." This is what Elder says. The following Is what the men referred to, say for themselvee: Cambridos, Sept. 2nd, 1862. Messrs. Editors: — The undersigned, having seen in the Jffefsom of to-day, a statement that Hon. 8. Meredith had lately got some twenty odd Irishmen to go to Centreville to get their naturalization papers, and that Mr. Meredith bore our expenses, and onr time should go on as if we were at world This has struck U* with much astonishment, as we know that Mr. Meredith did not pay our expenses, or ever offer to do so—nor did our time go on—bat was at onr loss. Nor has Mr. Meredith ever enquired of us how we would vote, as has basely and infamously been asserted by that vile calumniator, the Editor of the Jeffersonian. We think it due to the public, to further state, that Mr. Meredith did not solicit us to go to Centreville, hut that some of ns urged and solicited him to go with ns—that he referred us to attorneys at Centreville who would attend to ottr business, and that we refused to accept the suggestion, and induced him to go with os. We also state that Mr. Meredith has never been in the habit of enquiring of Us for whom we would vote, nor do we allow Mr, Meredith, or any other gentleman to dictate to us for whom we shall vote. We intend to vote as we think proper, for the interests of our adopted citizens. It has also been stated in the same number of that sourrilnus paper, that Mr, Meredith took us to “the grocery" and treated us on that occasion. This is equally turn .t*,.-. < wt, us to go to a grocery to be treated, or paid for such a treat for us or any one else that we have knowledge of. If we wish to drink we arc generally able to meet the expenses,—and especially, We would not call upon a man whom we know to be temperate, to expend money at a grocery, for us. We are also informed that there is much alarm at the Jeffersonian office, on account of Mr, Meredith having associated with such humble Individuals as ourselves.— They Heed not, however, be surprised at this association, as Mr. Meredith has ever, when e tiled upon by Whig or Democratic foreigners, been ready to Associate with them as gentlemen, and tibat them as such when their con-

duct merited it. Gan democratic leaders show a* good account of themselves? ft is also stated that we are hands on the Indiana Central Hailroad; —this is not true!— Some of u* were so engaged—some eitiaens of Cambridge—and others engaged in various puoutts wtilol, RdnriV tv Ik Edward Padde, Patric Masterson, Mic’l Cannoughton, John Mister, Patrick Murry, James Murigan, John Flaherty, David Mooney, John Coffee, Michael Kirby, Thomas Flatberty, Michael O’Neal, Henry Castiu, Miles Joice, John Dorn, Lawrence Kinney, John Crady, Michael Dun, Patrick Cossey, McAldrun.

Does Eider concoct these things, or ishc the mere dupe of men as base aa himself. I* he the plaything, the tool of designing men, or does he without the slightest regard to truth tell open and barefaced falsehoods? Will he publish the certificate above, or will he reiterate the slander against the Irishmen us well as Mr. Meredith.

As we said in the commencement of this artjple, it is an unpleasant duty to thus notice Bro, Elder; but we shall have to devote a little mote space to him than we have heretofore done, if he does not mend his ways. “Gov. Wright never was a member of any Hungarian Association itt Indiana."—W. J. Brown.

We believe the above declaration is a 1 falsehood, It was understood last winter that ab association, was formed at Indianapolis, for the purpose of raising “material aid" for Kossuth, and that Joseph A. Wright was choaeu President. It was charged at the tlm that in less than one year, those connoted with it would deny it, but it was s<**rce!y to be expected that the President would deny the part he took in the toadyism. When the Governor denies pedling the bonds, a witness can be produced in this Neighborhood.

ear Horace Greeley addressed a targe assemblage at Columbus, Ohio, on the 7th inst., on the principle of protection; and at the same time Sam. Houston, was addressing another crowd in the same city on Soott and Graham. On the morning of the Bth, the ladies of Columbus presented to the Scott elub a beautiful banner. Several speeches were made on >he occasion. In tho afternoon a Mass meeting was held in a grove near the city. Hon. Tom. Ewing spoke at length on the subject of protection and of River and Harbor Improvements. He was followed by Greeley, who in speaking of the prospect of success for tho Whig party in New York, declared in his opinion, success is certain, and that Ohio is to be the battle field.

Sott Glab—Wright's Speech. Bro. Elder complains that the speakers, in-, eluding ourself, at the Scott club, referred to the speech of Gov. Wright; and that Walpole’s speech has frequently been alluded to. Now, the facto are about this: There is no locofoco game worth shooting at in this town, and it is only when members of that party from a distance come here that we have any opportunity to hear the locofoco side of the question, hence the notice of them. Gov. Wright is a shining mark, and the most random shots hit him some place; and as we expect frequently to re- ' for to his political course we now respectfully invite Bro. Elder to meet us, and defend the Governor. If we have said aught about the course of his Excellency that you object to come out upon the stump and controvert it. Dare you defend his peddling Kossuth bonds—his advocacy of the School bill of last winter—or to ther cinglo net of his whole administration you dare defend before the people. If there is, tell us when and where you will do it, and we will be with you. It is reported that Mr. Fouruey, the dark of the House of Representatives, has become part proprietor of the Union newspaper, and that he will resign his office on the first of December. B. B. French is named at his successor.

Gan. Pleroe Opposed to leHfjyj y It baa bean charged and proven! that the democratic jmrty of New Hampshire have been and arc no# opposed to taking from tjhe constitution of that State, the infamous restrictions imposed upon the Catholics of that 8 ate in regard to holding office. It has beta p oven that Gen. Pierce did not attempt, when tl at matter was directly before the contention, to have it abolished, It has been proven, by the record, that the democratic party in his owff town is largely in taror of retaining it m the constitution. ] It has been proven that fiis father was the ardent friend of the “alien and sedition law."! W* say, these things have been charged and proven, had no locofoco orator or oditor, that we hate heard or seen, attempts to refute the charge or disprove the correctness of the record, as given by itr. Robinson; but Gov. Wright, down to Eider content themselves With calling hard names, atid heaping rile epithets upon men, much more honorable than themselves. We refer the reader to the able speech of Mr. Robinson, a continuation of which will be found in onr paper of to-day, It will be concluded in onr next. It should he read by erery frichd of religious liberty in the Union, and the public sentiment of a liberal and enlightened people should frown down such intolerance in any people, claiming protection nndet our free institutions. A few years ago, a prominent democrat of this county denied that the constitution of Niw Hampshire contained the provision, known as the Catholie restriction. The Same deriiuir.i* u, ~~ now used tfy tne same party were used then, They were forced to knock under then, as they are now, as to who put it there, sad who keep it there. We make no special appeals to the catholics, but we do ask that every citizen, who is Willing flint in this free land, God shall be worshipped according to the dictates of erery man’s conscience, will speak Out m defence of religious liberty.

'‘The people of Indiana have great cause to congratulate themselves upon the good fortune of having such a man Jos. A. Wright for Governor.”—Jeffersonian. Joe Wright will laugh in his sleeve whtn he reads that. Why, Elder must hare beep green enough to have believed all Wright said j about "MY administration." What a soft shell! The speech was only made to glorify thf governor, AH?! ciitch gudgeon* ! Nothing efie. ..’,Aj*wn who is green enough to be eaughf with; inch bate as that, could be caught with strips es red flannel and fish worms, without books.

An Unjust Rcwon.—The Cincinnati Gazette saysi We understand that a rumor is Ire circulation calculated td Injure the Proprietors of Thayer’s Patent Truss Bridge, Thin rumor, which we have been requested to saya that the Bridge over Seven Mile Creek, at Barnett’a, six miles from Eaton, on the Hamilton and finion Railway, which recently gave way as a train of cars *■ jassing over it, was built after Thayer’a plan. Tbia is i<* j t Wag built after Howe’s plan, and whatever injurious inferences may be drawn from the fact of its foiling, ought to attach to HoWe’a bridges—not to Thayer's. Messrs. Rindge, Bliss A Cos., who own the right to build Thayer’s btidgga in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, have completed airbridges in the West, and ought not to suffer by accidents which happen to HoWe’s or any othet bridges. They are building a bridge across the Whitewater at Richmond, for the Indiana Central Railway, as well as some at other places.— These are well spoken of by Engineers who have examined them, and when completed will give those interested in'railway bridges an opportunity to test their strength and durability.

Yekmont Elbction. —The Whig State officers have been elected, but with reduced majorities, compared with the last election. The Senate witl stand probably 26 Whigs and 6 apposition. The House will be nearly the same aa last year. For Congress, Meachnm (Whig) has 1644 majority in the first district. In the second district, Tracy (Whig) has 764 majority and in the third, Sabine (Whig) leads the highest opponent 1280. ; i

Further l>ona Havana. The United States Mail Schooner Lucas arrived at Charleston on Wednesday from Havana, with dates from that city to the 22d instant. The yellow fever and cholera continued to prevail with great violence, both on shipboard and in Havana. \ Arrests continued to be made Jf persons suspected of being connected with th* revolutionary paper. The Captain of the Dicas was offered twenty doubloons to bring off suspected individuals, but he declined.

Mr. Wansraa and Mr. Banks.— Tie followin card refers to tliu paragraph we IWve published to the effect that Mr. Banks, Coalition Speaker of the House of Representatives, had declared that Mr. Webster recently toiq him at Washington that he would rather Massachusetts should go for Gen. Pierce than for Gen. Scott:— To the Editor of the Atlas:

Sin—l beg permission to say that Mr. Webster did not make to me the declaration attributed to him by the Springfield Republican, in the paragraph in which my name wasmenlioned, and which was copied into your paper of this day. Your obt. servant. N.P. BA.VKS.Ja. Wednesday evening, Sept. Ist. All we deem it proper to say now is, that we had most excellent, direct and corroborative authority for our statement iu regard to what Mr. Banks had said since his return from Washington. — Springfield (Mess.) Rep.

Mr Brough went lately in search of Miss Hayes to Massachusetts, to make her an offer of an engagement, on behalf of a gentleman, to sing in California, for which he was ready to pay her 050,000. Mr. Brough was not able to find Miss Hayes, but met her agent, Mr. Bushnell, by chance, who said it was useteas for him to put himself to any forther trouble, as she had already closed with a previous offer, and would go to California in October under that engagement, B@“An election to chose a member of Congress in Massachusetts, in place of Mr. Ran ton I, deceased, will take place oa the 2nd Monday in November.

•V- jm- Cestrevim, t, Sept., 12,1862. Edt. Palladium: The Court closed ita seacion m lost Saturday. No Important cases war* tried- One slander suit was disposed of between two young meM, in which the plaintiff got a verdict for SIOO on * charge of stealing. J trite a large number of foreigners were neticed during the session. The vote of this county will, at the next October election, be Increased, at least, three hundred by the transient foreign population. It la highly probable that there will be no other session of the Court held In this Circuit daring the present foil. The general lew, passed by the last Legislature, districting the State for judicial purposes ia now being distributed, and to coon as they too filed With the Clerks of the several Conlies, the authority of the present judges to aet, will expire. It is true that the judges will hold their offices and draw their salaries until their successors are elected end qualified, but in the formation of new Circuits, there is no provision for the preseat judges to hold on until the new ones take their placet. This neglect in the Legislature will boa matter of regret and rejoicing amongst plaintiffs and defendants throughout the State. Many a poor debtor will bless the last Legislature for this, through its ignorance, giving him a little longer breathing spell, and criminals of all grades who are on bail will “go out in that day” . On last Saturday the Whigs raised a pole at this place near 200 feet long- About a 100 feet high floats the banner of Seoft & Graham, and there it floats its ample folds until the people of the U. Slates shall have elevated these distinguished Individuals to the highest places within their gift. 4 kftp.t .'ttdfu.jMlMMr fils heaH> cheer* given lor Scott, McCarty- and Parker, the crowd repaired to the Court House where a very interesting and forcible address was delivered by 0. P. Holloway on State and National politica, Mr. Parker has, 1 learn, returned home, and

with bis seal and eloquence as a speaker will do much in this district to bring recruits to the Scott Standard. I pity Mr. Grose, when he shall have to come in contact with Mr. Parker. I fear it will be the “aaan” of him. In looking over the presidential returns of 1848, I find that Van Suren’s vote in the old Congressional district, was 1888, and embracing the new district it was 2189, Taylor’s vote over Casa in the present District was 1027, and Mr. Parker’a vote over Mr. Julian at the last election was 602. Gen. Taylor received in this county 2088; Gen. Cass 1482, ami Mr. Van Bureu 880. The vote this year will stand about thus: Gen. Scott 2400, Gen. Pierce 1080, Mr. Hale 680, Mr. Parker’s majority in the district over Mr. Grose will not be less than 1000, The Free soilers will poll for their candidates In the district from 1000 to 2000.

Thofnas Wilson Esq., for several years a resident of this place, and recently a candidate before the Democracy for Sheriff, will leave, with his family, in a few days for the State of Missouri. The best wishes of his numerous friends will follow hint to his Westward

home. The White Water Female College and Academy commences the present session under the mast flattering circumstances. This Institution has justly ncqiJ* high reputation. 1 am &c., LESTER. For the Richmond Pcli-Uomi. Ckrtreville, Sept. Oth, 1862.

Messers. Enttoßs;— Observing In the Palladium that Messers. Wright end McCarty were to apeak in Abington on Saturday last t excluded to attend. Mr. McCarty In n plain and argumentative speech of above an hour in length, was listened to by men of both parties with elo®* As an orator he will not oonipare with the Governor. But as a sound ? radical reasoner he is more than his equal.— here is none of that bombastic eloquence about him that denotes the demagogue. Anti from what I saw of him I am confident that the

helm of State could not be guided by a more able hand. In the speech or Gov. Wright the personal pronoun I figured most conspicuously. He tried hard to impress upon the minds of his hearers, that the people of Indiana should thank him as being the originator of every act that had passed the Legislature since he filled the Gubernatorial chair. The Governor is an able musician especially in blowing on his own trumpet. There was one thing'Messers. Editors that I cannot help remarking on, and that was the winding Up of the Governors speech. The people generally believe that a person elevated to the office of a Governor, should be of a gentlemanly and refined mind, and that in his language and deportment among his fellow men, he should always keep in view the dignity of his office. 1 here refer to the low and filthy anecdotes related by Gov. Wright to some 150 persons,among whom were those of tender years, and from that on to men bowed down with age, professors of religion whose ears have long since ceased to delight in coarse and foul mouthed jests; and much less expecting to hear them coming from the Governor of Indiana. It was no excuse for him in saying they need not put a vulgar construction upon it. It would be done and he knew it. lam not aware that Gov. Wright is in the habit of repeating his vulgar jests at other appointments, but if so, would merely remark to his credit it would be more honored in the breach than in the observance. Yours truly, VINDEX. Good Gathering at Centre will*.

The Whigs of Centre township raised a pole* at Ccntreville, on Friday last. The Cambridge city Brass Band was in n1 enlivened the occasion with their inspiring strains of music. Every thing pertaining to the raising of the pole, which ts more than two hundred feet long, was admirably adjusted by Mr. F. Walts, and at the word of command, U rose majestically, and gave forth to the passing breese its bander, bearing the names of Scott and Graham, which were greeted with cheer afrer cheer as they passed around in view of the crowd. The dey eelected by the Whigs of Ccntreville for raising their pole was admirably chosen, being the anniversary of that glorious victory achieved ju6t forty years before by Com. Perry.

That was a battle for supremacy between England and the United Steles. In it, the Ameriitan arms were gloriously triumphant. We are now engaged in a battle with that same power, no less hotly contested, but only less fearful because it is bloodless. England, assisted by the leaders of the democratic party in this country arc contending for the object of making the United States dependent upon the workshops of Europe for their manufactures; and the Whig party, now as forty years ago, are contending to maka the United States' independent of the world, except upon principles of full and complete reciprocity. Then we say the day was fitly chosen, and we trust the friends of American industry and independence

may be as successful as wore the friends of America* freedom the 19th of September 1812, / Some of the Locos objected to the Whig* raising 09 largo and long 9 pole, for foot It should fall up<tu someone and kill thorn. Oh,i wbat sympathetic souls! They had better look! out about the first of November for fear the lightning may strike some of them. That Gorman dopy. ®gy* The anecdotes In the English copy of the life of Scott about tbe Robber and Pick- 1 pocket , are omitted in the German edition, end we suggest to the editor of the Jeffersonian whether he could not make at much capital by charging the* tk Whig* “looked open the Germane as robbers and pickpockets, and therefore concluded to leave them out of that copy t u —as be did in the temperance item! While seeking to make capital for bla party by misrepresenting the Whigs and their documents to the Germans, we again soggest that the Jeffersonian editor reads and ponders these anecdotes of the robber and pickpocket:—the former would not touch the gold medal presented by Congress to the man who had perilled his life for bis country, and the latter returned the purse, containing a considerable sum of money, as soon as be found out that It belonged to the patriot Scott. Let bim bat institute the comparison between their conduct, and hit endeavors to rob Scott of bis well-earned fame as a philanthropist, a statesman, and patriot, and he will blush at his degradation— if bluth he
