WHIGS, TO THE POLLS.

The oloction is at hand. Have Whigs any preferences? Have they any rights or principles to sustain? Then why not press forward and support these principles at the ballot box Do we not believe Whigs qualified to fill tho various offices? Aro wo not willing to trust them? Do we not prefer Whig principles and measures to ail others? What Whig will answer these questions in any other way than in the affirmative? Such being tho case, the question is at once answered, how every Whig will voto when he comes to the polls.

The "Lexington Roporter," referring to the coming Election thus discourses its readers

We hold that a Whig Legislature is jott as competent ae a Locofoco Legislature, to (rant nit appropri1 «t« and constitutional rtfwf to the people, if Ac people as* for it at the hands of the Legislature.

LOUISIANA ELECTION.

From the latest returns of the Louisiana election, it would seem that the whigs havo not elected any one of the four members of Congress from that State. The vote appears to have been very small—and an exceedingly slim turn out on the part of tbe whigs. Tbe INew York Tribune says:— 3 "The poll ia little more than half fat wt#uL

THE TIME IS COMING. rOne week more, and we shall all be called up«on to vote. The task we presume will be pleas®nt and easy for all who have made up their Vfminds as to the candidates for the several of^fices# For Whigs there is one standard, by "which duty can be marked without difficulty. .%* the candidate capable, and is he a Whig, «nd in favor of Whig measures^ -This rule ought to "be allied among Whigs, to all the officers and candidates for office. But particularly it should not be lost sight of, in reference lo Governor, Lieut. Governor, Congrew, Senator, Representatives. In all these important stations, the influence of true Whig principles may be more or less involved, and "nnd exercised, for the benefit of our common ^country. It is through these responsible stations that whig measures, in one way or another, are to be carried out. Let no man lose eight of this important fact in casting his vote. For Governor and Lieut.

BRADLEY.

For Congress too, although but little of .good may be expected under the present Tylor Administration—still if is of infinite consequence that our district should be represented by a whig at Washington. There will probably be an attempt, cither to modify or repeal tho Tariff, all which should be guarded. The question also of admitting representatives to Congress, from Locofoco States, "which have choaien to disregard the Districtting Law passed last session, and have elected under tho old general ticket system, will of course come up for decision in Congress.—

PRESIDENT

A Senalor to our own State Legislature, for three years, is perhaps of more conse quor.ee to whigs, than for tho passing moment many are inclined to consider. The election of a U. S. Senator, besides very important elections of State Officers, of various kinds will come up for aotion in the coming throe years. How essential then that a true whig should represent dur district 1

Of Representatives—There are so many ways by which our principles are involved through tho Representatives in the State Leg islature, that it can scarcely be necessary to admonish whigs on that subject. Altogether, then wo say, let the whole of our tickets, be whig and true whig. In such case, wo are sure to be on the right side in casting our votes.

THE DUTY. OF TAKING AN ACTIVE PART IN ELECTIONS. It is the duty of «very good citizen, uot 'only to vote, but to use a proper influence in the important right of suffrage, ft will not do for our best citizens to fold their arms and ,5ay thev^will not trouble themselves about elections/ ^Forj^xaetly in proportion, to the indifference exhibited by those who hold responsible places in business and society, towards elections, will be the noisy zeM, of irresponsible and less worthy aspirants in reference to .chosing for, or filling important offices. By the Constitution and Jaws of our country, certain offices as a part of our Government, must be, at certain periods, supplied and filled. These places mast be occupied by some body. And it therefore becomes thtfdnty of all to look to elections.

A correspondent of tho Madison Banner under the bead of "The Duty of Taking an Active part in Elections," writes as follows:

Many good men think they folly discharge their duty to their country by simply depositing tfaeir vote in the bsllot box.

They make no effort to innueace the votes of others, to persuade men to sustain what they believe to be the better policy- They will take no part in what they call "the strife and excitement of politics," bnt leave all this to the management of those who have a taste for such things- Now. it appears to me, that a man of see, inteUkence and moral worth, ought to have more influence the affaire of oor government than one who is destitute of all those qualities. But in voting.

our law krnTW«'ho distinctions, and con mftke no difTerericw. is the diflifibce t« le msdef It ie in th#iapcficr Hlfluence which the eood citizen jjenerally fias overtbe1 bad one, and wfiich infuenee, if exerted, will give him the greater power in the legislation of the country. This influence is a precious talent, and no good citizen ought to bury it in the napkin-— He cannot cast off the responsibility of its possession, but is tinder the highest obligation to hiscountry to employ it to the very best advantage.

Many good Christians consider it a stain upon their profession to take any active part in elections. Now I do not dwire ihem to become political brawlers, for whom I hnre na much contempt ns they can possibly possess. But I say. they bnve duties to their country to discharge as well as duties to their God, and that next in importance and obligation to their dnties to the Great Father of All, are their duties to their country.

Christians may disseminate political truth and exm political influence without any degradation to their profession, and it is their duty to let their''light shine1' politically as well as religiously.

How often do we hear bitter complaints from our best citizens on account of our bad laws and the bad administration of the affairs of our government. Well what did they do, Or try to do, to prevent this state of things? They voted, perhaps, for candidates opposed to the poliey of which they complain but did they makeanv further exertions—did tliev turn out and Inbor for the election of those candidates? If not, let them hold their pence and bear, as best they can, the evils of legislation brought upon theStateby iheirown indifference to the resultof popular elections.

JAMES WHITCOMB.

This gentleman, the Locofoco candidate for Governor, spoke again in our Court House on Monday last. We heard only a part of his discourse—so far as we heard, it was very much after the manner of his spepch delivered in the same place some weeks since, and which we noticed at the time. We observe no change in his sentiments. He is still violently apposed to the Land distribution —thinks such a project would absolutely ruia the country—though we could not gather from his argumont, why the proportion coming lo Indiana, would not be a very convenient matter, in the way of some relief in tho discharge of our heavy State debt—which in the end must be paid by a heavy 4ax upon th|?- people, tjnTc&js relief cati be oVtaTned to considerable extent through this very means of distribution of the Land sale?.

In our hearing Mr. WntTcoMB said nothing about & National currency. He spoke at some length of his laborurs and toils while at Washington as Land Commissioner. Of his deplorable condition as an old bachelor, be was quite eloquent—and we left him while discussing the item of tax on tobacco in

JOSEPH A. WRIGHT.

MB. WRIGHT,

we believe, has about closed his

arguments in favor of his own election to Congress, in Vigo county. We heard him a few minutes at Otter Creek, last week. The last point of his speech on that occasion was quite affecting. It had reference to our own Congressional District, as formed by tho last Legislature. He spoke of the unnatural shape of the district, of its embracing counties between whose inhabitants, there were no sympathies, in CG^imon either in the way of neighborhood or business. He said that Hendricks ought to havo been given to tbe Indianapolis district, and Fountain in its place attached to oucs. With all this we were some what edified, as well as greatly abused* For we happened to be in the lobby of the lower House at Indianapolis, last winter, when a motion was made (we believe, by Mr. BRADLEY,

our present candidate for the office

of Lieut. Governor) to amend the district bill, by annexing Fountain toour district and taking off Hendricks, just as Mr.

PPRIGHT

now su^csts, tbe district ought to have been shaped. does Uft reader suppose was the result. Why, that Mr. WRIGHT'S own party, thfe Locofocos, to a man, voted against the amendment. Now we must contint if Mr. WRIGHT'S whole speech, was of this same humbugging character, the good people of Otter Creek must indeed have been greatly edified. fcfi qij WAMTX LINES.

We Wish to caution our frtehds against this old tune. S*t every whig inquire who it is talks to hitdabout tba foily of drawing party lines. He will always find such hints to come from a locofoco, or one who has just been talking with a locofoco. And yet they are the very met) when to draw the line strong* although they talk differently among whigs. We say beware of ox* mail who attempts to persuade bis neighbor against party lines. That man always has some object in view, detrimental to the whig cause. Vote for men who ana sare to carry ettf measure* and then a whig is sore to vote

Who has conducted State affairs so unexceptionable that his bitterest opponents cannot find fault—and who stands before the people, an honest, capable, efficient WHIG Governor. Shall these facts, full in the knowledge of every whig in the State, be overlooked and set aside? Shall all these qualifications be waived, and whigs sustain a man who is opposed to every measure of policy they ndvocate—who has never been tried—and whoso administration we can judge of, from the destructive tendency of his principles Principles that are averse to whig principles, and that whigs consider as detrimental to the interest of the State.

THE AUGUST ELECTION. As the election fast approaches, the time draws nigh when the responsibility will devolve upon the citizens of this State of decididing, what shall be the complexion of those who are to govern us for a period of time hereafter. Although we cannot doubt of the triumpWflt success of wh% principles^ yet we would estreat a -full turn out of whigs* and discard any apathetical" considerations of the importance of the election so ^lose at hand—for by the numerical vote in this contest will be judged the estimation entertained by the people of Indiana, of the principles at issue. We sincerely call on whigs to consider Khat advantages are to be derived, by a deviation- from their principles to support those that have always been considered by them, as deleterious to the prosperity of the people, either in State

almost

14,000 votes over its opponents in the State of Indiana, and the great majority by which it elected

its Governor, will

relinquish its principles and become derelict in its duty on the 1st Monday in August*. Already do we find our scheming opponents assuming their usual policy previous to an^ele% •ftfmj, jfirtVGkingttie {MridtfC felr|ahc?alfon of pdftv A precept that is never practiced* by that party—for who ever heard of

Democracy polls to make a gen•rous sacrifice of pri/ictpte for the country's good The'old saying, whjcf? has long since passed into a proverb with that p£.rf/» "that if,they were to run the Devil they Yvouitf support him," remains too true for whigs to be misled by such deceptive appeals.

MOCRACY, that pretends to cry down any division among the people, while at the same time it propagates evil distinctions, by arraying the rich against the poor, that are the very bane of society. A man, who, by his own exertions has acquired competency, must have the worst feelings of his more unfortu nate fellow-la borer exerted against him, be cause he has not been equally successful in his undertakings. Whigs desire no such discrimination among the people. But Democracy, whose sympathy they would have believe is all for the poor man, raise the cry of "the rich grinding the face of the poor. Sweet sympathy Democracy feels for the poor man, when it is in favor of drawing the last copper from his treasure to pay the salaries of tMosenow presuming to be the poor man's friend I Is there a poor man in the State of Indiana4 who desifes such sympathy are not his taxes already a grievous burthen to him, without an additional one to support the government Yet Democracy in every quarter, asks the repeal of the Tariff-—pre-ferring that all men, and every poor man shall be taxed yet heavier to support government bearing down upon rich and poor, making the poor poorer We call upon every man to consider well before he casts his vote for the so cat.'ed Democratic candidates now soliciting tho tfjflfages of the people—for whoever gives them hftf support, votes almost directly for DIRECT TAXATION. Better to loaf jMfey in harvest—.better to leave thescytbe in tns uncut swath,—the cradle in the uncat grain, than that your absence from the ballot-box should cause the selli&g of your scythes, your cradles, and your grain, to pay a DIRECT TAX. Rally, than, friends, under the banner that always floats Jriumphant when whigs enter the contest resolved to conquer. Come to the rescue with a bold front, from the East side to the West—from the Ohio to tbe Lakes. Charge on them in solid column, every man determined to do his duty, and proclaim to the world on the first Monday in August, that whig principles still triumph in

FOS»TH£ WABASH-COtptHW.

Ma. Ew^oB:--In the Wabash J&xpress of July 19ih* I not:ce an article signed "Jfffersouian Democrat," itl which the writer, under the pretence of showing that the Editor of the 'Coarier'was mistaken in th» arguments and positions of ibe candidates for Congress in li»s"di5trict, seeks not only to prove that Mr.

Te.riff, but that bu was very far from ultraism Nsnd that bis remarks were characterised by "candor and charity"

However, Mr. Wrighi may have glossed his loco focoism in the county of Vigo, every person who knows him, knows that Mr. Jh*y has but to express his opinion, on any given Subject, to enlist Mr. Wright's opposition to it. But I will not slop to make words

gand candor of Mt. Wright. When JMr. Mc"Gaughey addressed the citizens of this county, he more lhan once avowed, that he should not treat his competitor us other than hoopr* able he spoke of* him in no other ternr.s, as must bear Witness who heard him. How it with the candid and charitable Mr.

Wright? He could not Content himself by explaining to the pifople the principles of himseifand pitrty, but he must make personal Kttacks npofl'^Mr. McG. concerning certain votes thai he gave in the Senate-at the last ion, and for refusing to vote, or in his own ngunge# bolting on two or three occasions 1 propose toexamine a few of Mr. Wright's otes j/t the Senate at its 24th session, Jf39-v fjg."*'«

All will remember theimmenso debt which ng over the people of the State at that lime, rtnd not few will recollect the daily sacrifices «t" property by the Sheriffs and Constables. jThc first Belief Law was passed at that session, giving an additional and further stay lipon judgments and executions and the peo* ale-loving Joseph A. Wrighi, voted against tpis law see Senate Journal of that year, ^age 438.

Again a bill came up at that session extending relief to borrowers of common School, Seminary, College, And sinking funds: it was ipgtd a second time Mr. Stephenson moved that tho bill be laid on the table— the ayes & *bes ordercd.anJ Mr. Wright boiled,—— the bill was lost. See page 441 of the Jour-

I. On the same day a bill came up pointtrtJt tho mode of levying taxes, and fixed per centum &c., and again the candid and pkaritable Mr. Wright bolted. And yet t&ain, when the bill for dissolving the board of public works, nnd the Board of fund Commissioners came up—(the importance of ^liich all will remember)—this same consister,it, candid and charitable, Mr. Wright voted four several times in one day upon amendn|ents of his own and others to said bill—-he tfeen voted against the bill being read a third tlftie he was defeated in that—the bill came typt for final passage, and Mr. Wright bolted. But the bill was passed, and Mr. Wright immediately came into the Senate, and on motion of Mr. Kennedy, a locofoco, voted for the printing of one hundred copies of the bill.— gte Sen. Jour, page 446 to 450. Nor is Ihis ill 1 could go on and show some twenty other occasions, by the same journal, when Air. Wright bolted at the calling of the ayes and noes,^but it is unnecessary. 1 have airendy shewn sufficient to enable all to see the disingenuous and "insidious" manner in w&ioh to labors JodesSroy^^Biopponent-*^ Sovrqs which is anything elso but candid and: lhamablfe.

Besides he sought the absence of Mr. McGfttighey, to make personal attacks upon him. Although he had been requested to travel with Mr. MoGaughey, when they could have made tRfeir speeches together, and the people would havo teen enabled to judge between them. fa it qot cowardly and dishonorable to sfaftuCT afld calumniate an antagonist when lie is absent pnc( cu^not defend himself and more especially in tVlx- \7:.urbt, inasmuch as he wilfully neglected to face Mr. 3JcGaughey with his charges, but manifestly sought his absence, that he might by fair means or foul, ruin him in the estimation of the people It seems so to ono who is fond of

By the Caledonia we have received our files of Liverpool papers to July 4th, inclusive,.and London to July 9a.

Thamtelligence brotuHit by this packet possesses no striking feature. The riots at Wales, which have been suppstWcid, and the agitation which still prevails in Ireland, are amongst ihe most striking events of do* mcstic interest. The rates exacted for tolls, the num ber of the toll gates, hatred of the new poor law, and theafcsense of work, are the causes which have mainly contributed to the recent disturbances in Sooth Wales.

Mr. O'ConneH continues his triumphant course of agitation in Ireland. The movement, however, excites lew alarm, and forms less prominent topic than heretofore in the journals.

Irt the English Parliament the Irish Arms Bill hss beenfiffe principal subject of interest, and the debate, nominally upon that, bat running into investigations ol Irish disturbances. In the House of Lords the Canada Corn Bill has been read a second time. A somewhat amusing scene in that house we copy below from theipodon Times-

was posted. He com*

municated to the officer in command, Capt. Cook, the facts we have stated, and also that no escort had been provided by tho Governor of Santa Fe, for the safety of the Traders after they had crossed tho Boundary line. A small party of observation had been sent out by him, and they met with a detached party of the Texans, but aa the latter pretended to be Americans, they, alter same intercourse with each other, separated, and the Mexicans returned home. We understand, that it'is exceedingly doubtful whether the Governor can, or will, furnish a force sufficient to protect tl.a trader from the contemplated attack. In this state ot things, Capt. Cook, at the pressing solicitation ol the Traders, had determined to change his routs, nnd pro« cecd u|j the Arkansas—that river being the boundary line—and give them 'protection as for as Bone's tort, Which is about three hundred miles from Santa Fe Meanwhile, an express was to bo despatched to lie Governor, informing him of this proceeding, and Captain Cook Had agreed to remain fifteen days at the Fort, for the expected escort. Should it not be sent, it is probable that the Mexican portion of the expedition win return with him, as they would not expose them* selves to robbery, either in Bent's Fort or by proceeding on their journey. This being the determination, the patriotic frae-bootenr may, after all, miss their spoils.

We learn that Col. Warfield was with Col. Snively. He. with some twenty outcasts from the Forts and Traders ot tbe mountains, had signalised himself by a show of an expedition against a frontier town of ^New Mexico, called the Moro.

Arrival rrom Bent's Wort—Progress of tike Santa re Traders—The Marauders, Mr. St. Vrain, oi the trading company of Bent and St..Vraip,and other gentlemen, arrived in this city yesterday evening from tbe principal fort on the Arkansas. We have seen Mr. St. Vrain, and learn from him that he left his establishment on the 21st of May that on his arrival at the crossing of the Arkansas, he there found Col. Snively, and 180 Sioils men of the Texan army, awaiting the approach of the Santa Fe Traders, who left our frontier about the 10th of last month— avowing his purpose to rob that part of the expedition which was composed of Mexicans, and to whom a very oonsiderable proportion of the goods belonged. The Texan Colonel manifested no disposition to Interrupt Mr. St. Vrnin's progress, and declared his intention not to molest any American,-unless, indeed, they should think proper to offer aid lo their fellow travellers, in resisting tbe attack's of the marauders. The Texans wore well armed, and determined to secure the booty, if possible. Mr.. St. Vrain proceeded on his journey, and met t!ie company of Traders, under the escort of the U. S. Dragoons, about sixty days' travel from the place where
