We learn that at a special election for Sheriff of Pike county, held on Saturday last, James Graham, Whig, was elected by over "H) majority, a thing entirely unlooked-for by the Whigs, as the Locos have claimed the county for Polk by some 80 votes.

How this was to be done no did not know, and so let it pass by. Some deep laid scheme of rascality, wt had no doubt, was to be played, but we had no idea of its nature, until we met with the following letter in the Indiana State Journal, which explains a part of the secret at least, though we believe wo hae an inkling of mote of the game, which we give in another column. If the matter has blown too soon for our Tory opponents, they may thank the indiscretion of their own friends; all we have to say upon the matter is, forewarned, forearmed. We will see that you are attended to In the scheme as far as our oicn county is concerned. Let our friends else where watch the polls narrowly; and every person that is legally entitled to vote, let him, yea assist" him, be he Whig or Democrat, but every ono who attempts to do so, who is not entitled by law, stop him and have the law take him under its especial protection. Here is the letter referred to, with tho remarks of the Journal, which wc recommend to the immediate attention of our friends throughout the county : Last night's mail brought us a letter from one of the most prominent Whigs of Louisiana a man for whose reputation Mr. (.'lay himself will vouch from which we make the subjoined extract: ''A friend of mine, a very ardent Whig, was yesterday in conversation with a prominent Locnfoa r-..-i c. :. ..i ,,r Mb, in which the Locofoco strenuously urged my frir-nd not to bet on Indiana, for lie would assuredly lose. This advice was urged with so much seriousness that my friend was induced to continue the conversation for the purpose of extracting whatever information he might be able to obtain. In the course of a long and coUi iential talk he lefirned from his Locofoco frien 1 that the Polk men are perfectly certain of carrying the Slate of Indiana: and the grounds upon which they found such confident expectations, though st;. riling enough, are not such as to astonish any one at all conversant wilh the tactics of the party. The superabundant strength of the Locofocos in Illinois induces them to believe they can safely spare FIVE THOUSAND V O T E S FROM THAT STATE, TO RE USED IN INDIANA!'' Forewarned, friends, be forearmed! Friends on the border, see to this! Our friends on tho Kentucky line will do well to observe closely lo adopt a system of thorough organization which will effectually prevent such frauds. This is easily done. Let every loicnship provid-j a committee of old citizens io guard ihe polls and, as far as possible, let t:.o voters remain in their own town- '. ip: to vo'c. i

SCT We could easily pile proof upon proof, of the falsehoods circulated by the IVkites in Kcndnll's vile 4 tract,' and up

on the stump, in relfttion to Mr. Clay's course gtanting pre-emptions to settlers upon the Public Lands; ami we shall next week publish an extract from their own President, Van Buren's Message to Con gress in 1837, to shame their baseness, if indeed, shame be not ashamed to mantle the features of such a deceptive set. Mr. Clay voted for the pre-emption connected with distributing to the States the proceeds to w hich we must look for exemption from oppressive taxation and wrong. Indeed Mr. Clay proposed a general preeruption, in connexion with distribution; and many of his calumniators know this, when they proclaim the contrary. Our State claimed and attained the pre-emption on the last Miami Purchase under the srrant of land made to the Wabash and Brie Canal, A-Jiich Mr. Clay advocated and James K. Polk opposed; and Mr. Clay believes the proceeds should now go un der the Deeds of Cession, to the benefit of the Slates instead of rewarding LegTreasurers and political knaves. The party Inaders throw out falsehood to preju. dice the people against Mr. Clay, about pre-emptions which be it known, in ma ny of the new States, only defrauded the people, to enrich speculators while :heir Po'W'.... insist unon retaining the e IT.

Ah! they now are the leaders of the party! and false hood and abuse are now its weapons to fight for Polk: Ashland, Sept. 25, 1843. Der Slit: I received your favor trans milting a Lee County Democrat, contain ing a copy of what purports to he a speech ot mine delivered on the pre emption bil in the Senate on the 29th of January, 1838 It is a gross caricature of what I said and I so pronounced it in the Senate. regret that I have no copy of the correc tion by me, but it wag published at the time in the National Intelligencer. I was opposed to the pre-emption poli cy by itself. I believed it fraught with in justice to the public; that it occasioned great irregularity in the settlements of the public lands, and engendered controversy and dispute among the settlers. When, without the authority of law, the public lands were settled, I considered and treated s; ch settlements as trespasses on the public property; so did Martin Van Ruren in hi? message to Congress Rut I never used the epithets, which were put into my mouth, against the pre-emptioners them selv.is, many of whom I knew to be re spectab'e, and mv friends. I was willing on a general adjustment of the land ques tion to combine the pre-emption and dis tribution principles together. And, accordingly, you will find in the Senate's journal of 1840 -'-11. pages 155-'G, that I voted for such combination. Again, I voted for the distribution bill of the extra session of 141, in which the pre-emption principle is incorporated, and large and liberal grants are made to the new States. Accept my best wishes for your health and prosperity. Your friend and ob't servant, II. CLAY. Mr. J. II. Clay Mvdd. The following is an extact of a letter on the same subject, written to E. M. Samuel, now receiver at the land-office in Plattsburg. Mo., by Mr. Clay, bearing date March 11, 1831), and was first published in the Star, at Liberty, Mo., in the following month: The expression of robbers and landpirats, nor any similar expressions, were never applied by me to pre-emptioners. On tha contrary, whilst I denounced preemption laws, and the act of taking possession of the public lands, without the authority of law, in strong terms, and as often conducing to speculation, I spoke of my knowledge of many pte-emptioners as persons of high respectability. 'Tho above expressions were ascribed to j

me by political partizans hr party purposes. They first caught my eye in a speech

of Gen. Tipton, pub'ished in the Globe. applied to him to have it corrected, an-i he did correct t'but the erroneous version continued t ) be circulated. At the last session of Congress in the Senate, I stated from my seal the error. Senator Young, of Illinois, who h?d been active in giving currency to tho expres sions, acknowledgcil that I ail not use them, and that he inferred thorn from what did say. 'Mv ooimon in rerrard :o the public lands i9, that they should be administered for the benefit of all the States in the Union. To wards the new States I have always inclin ed to a liberal policy. This was evident from the land bill which I proposed, and which I hope will be ultimately passed. Lv that bill the new States were to receive 12$ per cent, beyond their numerice. share upon the net proceeds of the sales of all public lands, situated within their respective limits.' In a speech delivered on the 2d of Jan uary, 1839, Mr. Clay said: The Senator from Alabama says I have shown myself hostile to the new States Sir. the Senator in this doubtless expressed what he wishes in Alabama to be viewed, rather thnn that which he murht have -------- i j known to be the fact. How, sir, have 1 opposed the growth of interests in the new States? Did I not bring forward a meas ure which would have been of incalcula ble benefit, not only to tliejnew States, bm to the old also? And would it not havedis tributed the avails of this vast property to the-;! all w ith equal justice with this impor tant exception, that it would have given tho new States 12 i per cent, beyond whit the old States would have received? It the Senator from. Indiana, Mr. Tipton, will recfcollect a speech published as his, he..' wj-'rememuer expressrons anrmuicu in lhatiepeech to me against pre-emption. . .-T.-f . ' ...:u. ers, which formed the subject of a coveration between us. At the suggestion o some friend who called my attention to tha expressions, I went to the Senator and stated that I had never used this language. He thereupon read it and admitted that 1 had not used it. Ho promptly corrected it, and sent me a copy of the corrected speech. Rut it was, notwithstanding, the erroneous copy which was circuiaieu io my prejudice. Did the transparency man find the genllrman he wasin search of the other day, when he was informed by a whig that 'any n who said that Mr. Clay was acces-s-oy in any way to the death of Mr. Cilly, was a liar, n villian and a scoundrel?' If he did, why did he not whip Aim? The Whigs had another glorious turn, out on Saturday night last, outnumbering the Locofocos' greatly. What made the matter a greater cause of exultation to the Whigs, was the frf, found out sometime in Ihe evening, that the Locos had during trie week been doing their utmost, oy secret means, to drum up their forces, from far and near, for the purpose of outnumbering the Whigs in the procession; and then the Whigs without concert, or a knowledge of what was going on among their opponent?, beat them in numbers and transparencies. Good! try it again, and we will beat you worse than ever. fCJ We publish in another column, an article from the New York Courier and Enquirer, which reveals one of ihe most damanable plots ever recorded. A lying Locofococo tory sheet published at Harrisburg, in Pennsylvania, has delib erately, wilfully, and knowingly perpe-; 1 C 4 I . t,atl nsw-tanfrri I'll m ' trated a forgery that should consign him to the Penitentiary for life. In our paper of to-day, we have shown, that large sums were raised in England, for the propagation of Free Trade doctunes in the United States, which the tones did not deny, until this forgery of the Ilarrisburir Democratic Union, has made it to

read, for the assumption of Stale debts inated the Hon. Silas Wright, for Governby the General Government! " and there-jor of that State. The Wr igs of New Y.. on assumes that Henry Clay is in favor in 1840 whipped his master. Van Buren,

of that measure, and that the money is to promote his election. This very fact, we feel assured, will sink them still lower in political condemnation. Wake, up In diana! See the full extent of the infamy of a party, which while using British gold for the promotion of your country's destruction, would try to blind your eyes, by crying "wolf, wolf," in order to call off your attention from themselves. We wonder if this wai one of the means to be used to revolutionize this country? A Contrast. The Whigs seek to meet their opponents, in debate upon the measures, which divide the two parlies but Locofocos as studiously avoid it. They dare not meet our speakers, for well they know certain defeat awaits them. Principles they have none. The whole burden of their song, is to oppose the Whigs. Ask them what they are for, they will answer "Poik, Polk and Dallas!" "Well, what measures are you for," they answer again, "Polk and Dallas!" Tell us what principles you contend for, in opposition to Whigs! and they will answer, "We go against Henry Clay!" Even lexas, is gelling to be talked less about than formally. The only thing they are decided in, is. "We are against, whatever the Whigs are for and for 'very thing the Whigs are against!" O Gemini! what a party! pC7The New Orleans Picayune of ihe 18th tilt, reports two cases of Yellow fever at the Charily Hospital; on the 19lh the Board of Health, reported some additional rases.

It will be remembered, that we week f.rr, i-et published a It iter from the

Rev. N. II. Ila'l, of Lexington. Kentucky, ie in answer lo one addressed to him from a gentleman of Ohio, whirh contained a complete refutation of the base slanders, utlered against Mr. Clay, by the vile demagogues of the Locofoco party. This evidence was given "from a personal and intimate acquaintance of twenty years standing, and who is vred Unown in mis place as one among ihe" most estimauie and pious of PrebV teriJHi clergyman. When he was here upnti 'Jiis'sevcral visits. all men, who loved that which is good and amiable, were loud inhi praise and tojudje by the language or all,' he $tood hit ii in their estimation. Well getlne reader, in .the discharge oi what we. and no doubt he cousidereu an imperative duty, when called upon, he unhesitatingly defends the innocent, from the false aspersions cast upon an associate, Henry Clay, by declaring him falsely accused. For this act of sheer justice he is now slandered by some men in this very place, as a "liar a scouuuici, &c. &. -Can such things be And overcome us like a xummer cloud Without our special wonder?' . i- , i.i Nay, it not only excites our wonder. but our indignant contempt. It plainly proves that Locofocoism is desperate, degraded, and will not stop al any thing in its vile efforts to carry out its foul pur poses. No character is too sacred, none too holv.if it is in its way, to escape its alinniinablp defamation. We SUPPOse, if Mr. Hall, had told a lie, and said Mr. Clay was all their vile demagogues say he is, then would Mr. Hall have belsn in their estimation, all that was amiable. But he told the truth, and therefore he has called forth all their filthy abuse. It is said, the 'slanders of the vicious, are the goo l man's praise, 'and in this instance, it is true to the letter. More or the Rrilisli Gold. More Proof The fact Attested! Read the following, fellow Whigs, and circulate it among your neighbors. Read honest Democrats, think then if you can conscienciously, vote for Polk, the candidate of the British! Read it calmly, and reflect upon it, and say whether England, whom we have twice whipped with our arms, shall conquer us with her gold! It is now brought to a demonstration, that the present contest is. Polk and British gold, against Clay and the Tariff. We copy from the Wheeling Times, of the 1st inst. Kritish Hold Proved. We have published evidence ttiat there were subscriptions of money in England for the purpose of securing the election of Mr. Polk and Dallas, and the free trade nandidn ipo, enough to satisfy any man that the present cauvas was carried on by the Locofoco party upon BRITISH GOLD; but we are not yet done with the proof. Read, read Americans, the fol lowing extract of a letter from John Og den, a man working in a manufacturing establishment in England, to Ins son in this city. "I was in London about a week ago.

Tho course alluded to only exemplifies the unprincipled propensities of Locofoco spoilsmen, which becomes intensely vehement, and unscrupulous, as its ruinous party existenoe, approaches a certain dissolution. The W estern S u rf lart week trumps up from the tomb c f infamy into which h & irs perjured anthor were cast in 128 a certain notoriously false alUSavft of one "J.

I cannot at the moment, nor is it necessary to expose the cheat, referred to, and furnish you' with the immediate exposition of Downing 8 guilt, which the publication on its first appearalice called forth and the evidently vile motive and objrct of revi ving such a fabrication now,1 is too evident to require a remark. No man knows better than E.

Froru the . Y. Courier and Enquirr. Gross and Infamous Forgery and Calumny. The following flagrant forgery is from the "Union." a Locofoco paper published at Harrisburg, and it seems lo us that its simple publication is all that can be necessary to arouse one universal burst of indignation throughout the country. It is well known to our readers lhat the free-trade men in England have recently raised immense sums for the purpose of employing it in putting down the manufacturing interests in the United States, and lhat these enormous funds have already been so employed. Large amounts of money have been expended in printing and dirtributing tracts, in the payment of agents, and in other instrumentalities for putting down our tariff; and as the readiest means of effectuating these objects, t!ie election of Polk to the Presidency has of course becomo a darling object with these dispensers of IJiitish gold,, and, with that object in view, Tast disbursements hav been made, and th means provided for a great many more, for ihe same unholy purpose. This impudent and nefarious interference by aliens with our elections, has been exposed, and severely animadverted on by ouiselves and our brethren of the press, and we dare say will continue to bo exposed and denounced in still stronger language; but, in the meantime, in order to avert, if possible, the consequences of ihese infamous proceedings from themselves, the Locofocos have commenced their scoundrel attemj U to divert the publio attention from their own acls, by the means of the grossest perversenesx snd the most palpable and direct FORGERY- This Pennsylvania Print has had the shameless effrontery lo lend off.
