The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION c^enffan TUESDAY NEXT, tie 2d iff November.

A WORD TO WHIGS.

An important election is at hand—are all ready? There is now a duty devolv ing upon every lover of bis country.— Will every Whig be out? and will each one see thnt his neighbor also goes to ttye election. We consider the present a crisis it is so. and should not pass without every effort commensurate with the importance of the occasion. An election has just passed—and although entirely different in purpose and charac-. ter, may have in its bearings some influenceupon that which is to take place on Tuesday next. Experience however, has taught us that Presidential elections are not to be judged of, or governod by State Elections. A thousand influencesoperate in one, which are not fell or recognized in the other. Both are important—but each involving considerations of political sympathies different from the other. Every man feels himself a citizen of two great Republics in this country—and yet having a relationship which endears ench to the other as members of the same fomily. There ore certain principles which we all recognize as common to both. And so far as Whigs are concerned in proniulga* ling and sustainiug these principles,they dosire 10 have tbem carried out in reference lo both members of this interesting family. The State election has passed and did not result as Whigs of course could havo desired. That however has nothing to do with the election next week. An effort has been made on the pari of our disinterested opponents to create an opinion that Whigs are disheartened and have become careless and indifferent as to the election which is to come. Lei them enjoy such opinion if it will do them any good. We all know very differently. And knowing differontly let us act in accordance with this knowledge. Every Whig has something to do from this to the election. As tio wishes his principles susmined, so will he be interested to secure the election of Winfield Scon to the Presidency. Every vote will count, none should be lost. Take warning from the action of our opponents. They leuve no stono unturned to havo out the last man to the polls. We have a standard bearer who would be an honor to any country at any age. Nay, more than that, he is an honor our own, and as such deserves to be elected resdent of these United States. {tresis upon us Whigs to act on this occasion promptly, effectually, and to the purpose. Democracy is bragging that Indiana shall be carried by fifteen thousand against Winfield Scott. They know better, this brag is for effect. They ere trembling this moment for the result in this State. Let us give them a long pull, a strong pull, and pull altogether, and their boasted ma jority will be minus on Tuesday next.—

If every Whig in the State does his duty, the majority which seemed to be against us at the State election can be overcome and a liitle balance to foot up o« the other side. Lets try it.

The Democrats of this State boast ovtr having 20,000 majority at the recent election, and yet come down to betting on 6,000 majority tor Pierce in Indiana. Here is a reduction of 14.000. At the meeting at the Court House a few evenings ago, one of the speakers asked if this State should only give 8,000 or 3.000

majority for Pierce. This is

coming,

down about 18,000. What doe* it mean? Does it not show that the Democrats themselves are conscious that Gen. Scott is going to give them a close race in this State? They may well be so. for if every Scott man turns out on the Sud of November the Democratic par ty will team that a State and a National election are two very different things a Indiana, and that Gen. Scott haa a strength in this State the Democracy have b«t little idea of.

Loterfbc* prospects for the Presidency in Indiakf, ram be gloomy enough when the Govet^or of the State, Jossm A. WRIGHT, lajvasid* the duties of hie office to take King.

WORD TO rOHEIHNER*.

We wish to tella plain truth to foreigners. If there ever wu a wretchedly abused people. it it foreigner* who come to thia ooumrjr to settle and work Tor life. We have reference more particularly to that class who are •aught as laborer* through and over the country. You are seised hold of at every port and landing plaoe, on the moment of your arrival, and taught to believe that Democrata are our friends sod whigs your toe* raies. This poison is stilled into your ears continually, and you too often listen to it, and swall vf it all as Qospel truth. For this you are not to blame—you think of no reason why you should be deceived. You are not aware of the game of deception constantly

benefit of thoee who wish

you aubservicut to its aggrandise-

ment! Yuu» votes are wanted,and must be had it evory sacrifice. Democrats promise every thing—you are to be fed, clothed and sup* ported by the Democracy. Never was such a delusion. Never was honest people so deceived. You never yet have got anything from Democracy, or from the Democratic party, as a party. Not the first dollar, nor ever will. They have it not to give. It is not io the nature of things. There is no such thiag. You are saught to labor on public works, because your services are needed. You are persuaded that this is a favor and privilege. And where doea the money come from that settles your labor f— Is it Democratic money! No such thing. It is money raised by tax, to which whigs contribute aamuch as Democrats. Look at the public works of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio or Indiana. As whigs or Democrats may have the ascendency, or hold the Administration, as has happened alternately, in these several States, so will be the corncommissioner. er sgents, through whom the public works shsll be carried on, or money disbursed. But the money disbursed to you is not democratic money because the agent or commissioner happens to be a Democrat.— He pavs you not a dollar on his own account, and you need not thank him for the first cent. This is all humbug and gammon. You get no favor from Democrats, they have it not to bestow, but they hoodwink you mosteffectually.

Take again the case of enterprises, or public works by stock companies, such as certain canals, and perhaps most of the extensive railroads of the country. It is said to be a well authenticated fact, that upon an average two thirds of the money invested in these enterprises is absolutely whig capital. By whom then are you employed, or whose money is it that pays you on these works? Per chance the president rosy be whig or democrat, but the capital is largely whig funds. Who then is is it gives you employment! In such cases you are more beholden to whigs thsn democrats. These area few truths which we wish you think of and consider.

Another matter—Democracy boasts of giving you the right to vote—-yes indeed! and pray how does that benefit you? In that very particular you are made use of —your votes are wanted, and you are given the right mechanically to cast your votes not for your own good, but to serve others.~ Look at the new constitution of Indiana— after six months residence you are allowed to vote—but mark the word! Can you hold office? Ah, no! That would never do—that was not the purpose for which yon are to be called upon. You may vote because your votes will count, and that is all that is cared about you—just think of it Turn the matter in your minds and say if we have not spoken truth.

We have called your attention to these things in order that yoar eyes may be opened Vn time for the electron just approaching. An election of great importance te the country. You will nodonbt be cajoled no little, and talked to about democracy! democracy! Ah, that is the talismanic sound— democracy* But look to it and inquire why you arc thus run upon by democracy.

You have the right to vote for President •pray use it according to your own discretion, uninfluenced or una wed by threats or persuasions—go to the election if you choose-and when there, vote your own ticket, as you please—but dont bo dragged there like cattle, and told to vote a certain ticket, and no other. What kind of privilege or liberty is that, to be fairly forced to the polls, and there made to vote a ticket put into your hands. Make up your minds as men, and then vote aa you please, under and by virtue of the lawa of our country— Laws that protect you—made and enacted by whigs and democrat*, and to which you are equally indebted for the security of life and property

WOODRUFF -HOUSE.—This excellent Hotel, situated on Sycamore street, beween Third and Fourth streets, Cincinnati, is now under the entire proprietor, ship of PERRV E. TOTTLE,who is essisted by J. W. ('elites. This House is most admirably conducted. Visitors, will here find the best accommodationsi under the gentlemanly deportment of the Proprietor and his assistant. We

particularly recommend this House to

our friends.

PaAIRIS CITY BANK.—The new Benk, established under the provisions of the new Banking Law, is expected to go in* to operutton in thia place early In November. Capital stock 9150,000. The name of C. W. BARBOUR IS mentioned ts the probable President of the inatituti«m. Jno. F. Croft. N. Preston, Jno. H. O'Boyle, J. H. Hager. and H. K. Wilson are named in connection with the Ceshiership.

A WORD TO DEMOCRATS. We wish a little converse with Democrats, not in the way of dictation, certainly* nor even in the shape of advice. Either would be assuming more than we intend on thia occasion. Byt if we eould by any chance say a few words which would induce Democrata to vote for Gen. Seott, we should be happy in having done so much for the good of our common country. That you are endeared to the term Democracy we know and we would not for one moment ask you to do anything by which your rights, title, or claims as Democrat* should be forfeited. We know better than attempt anything of the kind. That is not our object at present Wf hold it that there may be occasions wheu a groat man may be voted for for President of the United States without sacrificing political names or principles. That has been done on one or snore oocasions since the establishment of our Republican form .of Government. Thousands of you did vote for Gen. Harrison tor President, and that without ever sullying your namea as Democrats. What has been done once may be done again. Why not Who ev8r pretended that voting for Wm. Henry Harrison lost any man his place in Democratic ranks 1 It did not, or some of the best material would have been lost forever to that party. Why did you vote for Gen. Harrison 1 Because be was a great and good man—becauae he was a true patriot and had rendered important service to his country. Those were good reasons, and the influi^nce of which showed you to be able to regard country more than party. At least so far as mere party names could operate. Now what ol Gen. Winfield Scott I Is he too, not good man—a true patriot—and one who has rendered important services to his country You profess to honor and cherish the memories of those who fought for our liberties. Is it not part and parcel of the same principle to honor and cherish those who fight to maintain and sustain the liberties so dear to us, and for which so much blood was shed to acquire Is there a man living who has done so much for his country as Winfield Scott! Can history give you the name, since Washington, to whom the country is so much indebted as that of Gen. Scott Have not his services been unremitted, and self-sacrificing? And shall he not have your votes for President! You know all would be safe in his hands. His past life is a guarantee for the future. No matter what your papers may say, or your speakers may speak, you know, each and every one of you, that a purer, and truer and safer man does not live than Gen. Winfield Scott. This you know and will not deny. Voting against such a man, is voting against patriotism.— And, that must be a position you would not like to assume.

In supporting Gen.' Scott you will riot be without examples which cannot be regarded lightly your system of political ethics.— Your great lights of Democracy have beeg the unwavering friendB of Scott. Madison tendered him a place in his Cabinet, and sent him to Europe on a very important mission. All this did Madison without incurring reproach, and still lived a good Democrat. Can you not therefore vote for Scott for President and still live good Democrats) just as well as did Madison Be assured you can and the act will never be brought up in any other way than as redounding to your political honor. Monroe, Jackson and Van Vuren, a-M reposcd a confidence

Scott which induced them to seSeCt'him over thousands of their fellow citizens for trusts most important and delicate. Trusts which required the highest order of character and diplomacy, properly to treat and settle. Yet Monroe and Jackson lived and died good Democrats—their political principles never in the least tarnished with the exhibition of preference for,and trust in Winfield Scott. Can you not vote for Scott for President, and yet live and die good Democrats 1 Try it. As your illustrious predecessors have done, go you and do likewise. You will never rue, or be ashamed of that day. Your children and grandchildren will sing jmd praise the act. Your country will be honored, and your institutions rendered more stable perhaps, in the election of Winfield Scott

We have ventured thus to speak to reasonable Democrats—those who may choose to think and reflect for themselves. Remember, we ask no political sacrifice, we ask you only to do that which can with propriety be done without endangering political caste. It will hurt no man to vote for Gen. Scott. It would be a vote to make any man proud—an act to enable any one to hold up his head and look Whig or Democrat forever in the (ace.

Some

Democratic papers snd politicians

still hsrp upon Gen. Scott's visit to the West, ss sn electioneering tour, snd deride his speeches with a great deal of fervor.— In all the specchcs we have resd, that were made by Gen. Scott while West, we have not seen the slightest allusion to politics, nor sn intimation of his being a cand dale.— We observe, however, in a speech recently delivered at an Agricultural Fair, by Franklin Pierce, be very modestly keepa you aware that be is before the people for their suffrages. Not so in Gen. Scott's speeches. Such is the difference between the two men. The nerves of Democratic politicians are dreadfully shocked if Gen. Scott responds to the grstulations of his friends, who convene at their own accord to welcome and extend him the hand of friendship.

U. S. SEHATOR.—Gov. Wright has issued a card stating that he will not appoint a Senator in the place of JAS. WmTcojfB, deceesed—before the meeting of the Legislature, unless circumstances make eech appointment absolutely

Let Catholics remember that Franklin Pierce assisted in (twining a Constitution which prohibits Catholics from holding office, but permits nrgroes to hold office.

STATE FAIR.

We visited the State fair at Indianapolis on Thursday week, but in consequence of extending our visit to Cincinnati, have not since had time to speak of the exhibition.

This was Indiana's first grand Exhibition of a State Fair. And it is saying but little to represent this first attempt as one, worthy of the State, and the Society by which it was got up. It was a grand exhibition, and would have done honor to an older Society in an older State. The exhibition of horses and cattle was very extensive, and embraced animals of fine blood and the very first order. No one could look over the many stalls and pens, without a feeling of gratification with the progress of stock raising in Indiana. There was also sheep and hogs in abundance of fine bloods, and choice stocks. Not the least interesting portion of the exhibition was a row of coops containing a great variety of Chickens, Turkeys, Geese, Ducks, Pigeons &c., &c. The names we did not get but the specimens exhibited were sufficient to show that in the poultry line there is also great effort making for improvement in breeds and quality. There were two large buildings filled with various specimens of improvements in machines. Agricultural or Horticultural products, altogether too numerous to specify, but which excited interest and curiosity to a high degree. No one could cast an eye even cursorily around, without being satisfied that Indiana has already reached an exalted position in Agricultural improvements. Speaking of a Fair, of course much more is embraced than may properly be classed under the head of Agriculture. And this surely may be said of the late exhibition at Indianapolis.

The beneficial effects of such exhibitions must be obvious. No farmer of any ambition or pride could have cast his eye over the Fair grounds, containing such stocks of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, without being incited to emulation—not only his pride would be aroused, but another feeling, that of profit and gain must necessarily be excited. We could have wished every farmer of Vigo to have witnessed this exhibition. It could have done no harm, and could not well have failed to produce a happy and beneficial result.

Of the number of visitors present, it would be difficult to speak. We heard them variously estimated, at from fifteen to thirty thousand. The enclosures embraced about fifteen acres, and for several hours during the afternoon of our visit the whole space seemed to be occupied. Some places of course more crowed and dense than others. At one of the large exhibition buildings it was a regular squeeze—and officers were employed to direct the crowd to pass up one side and down the other.

The list of premiums has not yet been published, and of course cannot be specified with any degree of correctness. We saw a beautiful set of carriage harness exhibited by Mr. St. John of Terre Haute which it is said took the premium. There were other articles from our Town and county which may be noticed if handed to us for publication. The Exhibition was altogether an affair honorable to the State, and cannot fail to be productive of good effects. It is proposed to have the next annual State Fair at Lafayette ~~~~~~~

How. GEORGE W. JWLIAK, Freesoil &c candidate for the Vice Presidency spoke at our Court House Tuesdsy. We did n»* bear tho speech. upo» ««Taverage,we think time might poaaibly be better employed than in listening to harangues which seem to have no definite purpose in view except that of mischief to one or the other of two eld par ties, without design of good to either, or possible benefit to even a third. We do not know that Julian premeditately designs injury to the Whigs, ovtr that of the democrats, but, we sre satisfied that his discourse here so far as we hear of it, must have tendency prejudicial to the Whigs. He attempted as we understand, to make the impression thst there wss but little difference, if sny stall, between Whigs and Democrats on the subjects of the tsriff or internal im provements. This is all gammon, if not something worse. We hope Whigs will not be led estray—and let no well wisher of his country be deceived by this kind of talk.—

There is something under the rose not palpable to the eye.

TERRE HAUTE AND ALTON RAILROAD.— We learn from the Charleston <Courier>, that a proposition for the county of Coles to take $25,000 stock in the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad, in addition to the $75,000 already subscribed, is to be voted on by the people of that county at the ensuing election. A proposition to increase the rate of interest on their bonds from 6 to 7 per cent, is to be voted on at the same time. ~~~~~~~

Ctactrrr JUDGE.—Our Judicial Circuit now consists of Putnam, Vigo, Clay, 8ullivan, Morgan, Owen, Greene and Monroe. At the late election for Judge, JAMES HCOKES, Esq- of Bloomington, received 8719 votes. D. R. Eckels received 7172 votes. Electing Mr. Hughes by a majority of 1547 over the late Judge Eckels.

DEATH or WIWTER.—Werefer oer readers to Telegraphic nodcea of the bat moments of Daniel Webster. He died at o'clk on Seodsy morning last at MarsbfieW, and it to be buried en Friday next.

The Whigs have been frequently unfortunate in not having a candidate worthy of tho support of many of oer opponents, because, in their patriotic wisdom he has .not beee qualified for the offloe. It will be numbered that in 1840, Gen. Harrison was denounced as an "old granny," and instead of possessing capacity to occupy the White House, they sneered at the log cabins of the West, and said that Gen. Harrison's proper place would be in a log cabin along with hard cider and coon akina. The jmpb thought differently from these wise

and elected Harrison President It will be remembered also, that in 1846 Gen. Taylor was exceedingly obnoxious to the Democracy on account of his "imbecility," as they were pleased to term it, that he was a "miserable old dolt," and would be a tool in the hands of other men. As in 1840, the people thought differently and elected Taylor.

Consistent in their abuse of the old men who have become grey fighting the battles of their oountry, the leaders of our opponents are urging an objection to Gen. Scott, that he too, has no abilities for discharging the duties of President. We hsve confidence that the people still appreciate gallant services, and as they have done on other occasions, will disregard the vile abuse that is heaped upon our beat men, by politicians, and that on the 3d of November the people will place Scott in the same chair they placed Harrison and Tsylor "V

NOVEL PROPOSITION—BRIDGE ACROSS BROADWAY.—Alderman Siurtevant presented a petition in the Board of Alderman, last evening from John N. Genin, hatter, asking for permission to construct an oriental bridge, singlo arch, across Broadwsy, from the sidewalk In front of St. Paul's Church to that in front of his store. No. 214. The structure to be called "Genin's Bridge," and built at his expense tor the accommodation of pedestrians. This project the petitioner claims is for such, in view of that crossing being the most dangerous in Broadway.— Accompanying the petition was a plan of the proposed bridge—a very handsome picture. Upon the bridgo ladies and gentlemen are represented as crossing at their leisure while beneath it, as may occasionally be seen, are quite a num-ber-ef pedestrians endeavoring to cross through a pool of mud, and one unfortunate individual is pictured as being run over by an omnibus. The dimensions of the bridge are as follows: 16 feet from lower part rf the bridge to the ground width of bridge 5 feet 6 inches width of siairs.3feet 9 inches.— The petition was referred to the Committee on Streets.—-N. Y. Cour Sir Enq.

PENN'SYLVNIA WHIG GAINS.—In 1851 Bigler's majority over Johnston for Governor, was 8,465. TheBoliimore Sun a Democratic neutral paper, givs the returns from 22 counties «t the late election, showing a Whig gain of 1,26'J, and reducing the Locofoco majority stated above, to 7,205. The Pittsburg Journal of the 18th thinks this changes the face of things in that State very seriously, admonishing the Locofocos to prepare for certain defeat in November.

The Whigs have also elected one more Senator than they had last yeargiving them 17 mombers, while the Locofocos have but 15,and the Natives 1

STILL DESERTING.— The Green Bay (Wis.) Spectator, says thai it has a list of forty-seven democrats of that sparsely settled country, who declare themselves for General Scon, a majority of whom are adopted citizens.

GEN. SCOTT'S SPEECHES.—The Boston Transcript, an independent paper, the Editor of which is a personal friend of Gen. Pierce, contains the following just remarks upon the recent speeches ol Gen. Scott: 1 "We have looked through these brief sddrosses in vain to find the defects which some of our cotemporaries seem to detect in them. They are such plain, off hand, unstudied remarks as any man might make whose life had been spent less in literary studies than in the tented field. And yet we are told by those who know Gen. Scott intimately that he is a man of extensive attainments in reading, and thst few of *ur public men are so generally well informed, or have at their command so large a fund of facts of every day utility. The 'gift of the gab,' to use a vulgar but not inexpressive phrase, is no criterion of a man's abilities or qualifications as an executive officer even in a civil capacity. Some of the greatest statesmen have been auch mere at

me re rs in their speech that

any glib pettifogger could appear to more advantage, and pasr for the better man among the unreflecting. We do not believe that the asaailants of Gen. Scott can harm bim by criticising hia speeches for ninety-nine men out of one hundred will say—"I could have done no better myself probably not so well."

IN A FAMILY,

A school• teacher, who has been enga'D his profession, and witnessed the influence of newspaper on the minds ®f 4 family of children, writee to the editor of the Ogdensburg Journal, aa follows -.

I have found it to be a tmwers«l feet, without exception, that thoae schools, of both sexee end all ages, who have itccess to newspapers at home, when compared to those who do not, are— 1st. Better readers, excelling In pronunciation and emphasis, and consequently read more understsndingly. 2d. They are better spellers, and define words with greater ease and accuracy. 3rd. They obtain a practical knowl* edge of geography in almost half the time it requires others, es the newspaper has made them familiar with the location of all the important places, nations, their government, and doings, on the globe. 4th. They are better grammarians: for, having become familiar with every variety of style in the newspsper, from common-place advertisements to the finished and clasical oration of the statesman, they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text, end consequently analyze its construction with greater accuracy. 6ih. They write better compositions, using better language, containing more thoughts more clearly expressed. 6th. Those young men who have for years been readers of newspapers are always found taking the lead in debating societies exhibiting a more extensive knowledge upon a greater variety of subjects. and expressing their viows, with greater clearness and correctness in the use of the language.

TAXING A NEWSPAPER.—On ihe morning of the 7ih inst.. a man named John Henry was caught taking a copy of the North American from the door of a subscriber in West Market street Philadelphia, and held to bail 10 answer. The paper had been missing for some lime previous. This case of detection should be a warning to «ll others offending in like manner. It is a mean business any way to take a newspnper without paying for it.

There is another class of newspaper readers who are possibly more despicable than the aforesaid John Henry. We allude to the class of persons who are too economical to subscribe for a newspaper, but who are, nevertheless, very regular in their attendance at certain public places about the tune the paper is thrown in, to read it, to the annoyance of the subscribers, who are too polite 10 ask them—-Why don'i you subscribe for the paper?—Madison Courier.

There is good story toid of old Mootray, the native East Indian general.— His followers stole from the English, lot of hermetically sealed provisions in tin cases, and not having seen anything of the kind before, he mistook them for canoster shot, and fired nothing from his guns for three days, but fresh lobsters, pickled salmon, and other delicacies, supplying the British camp with a shower of the freshest English provisions!
