By order of the Stste Central Committee, L. DUN EAP, Chairman Look Out It hardly neceysary to caution for thy know by all past experience, that on the eve of election, it is the habit of whig scoundrels to set on foot any kind number cf Pus for the purpose of deceiving and cheating th? people.

Look out for them, democrats, not so much on your own account, a.s to prevent honest whigs from being gulied by thern. Look out too, forppurious tickets.

We should not wonder to see tickets headed Cass and Dutler, with the names the Whig electors following them. A man who votes such a ticket will be cheated. Traitors, who gave the Mexicans all the "aid rnd comfort" they dared to. and who hurrah fur the man that tried to disgrace our fellow citizen and the State, i will do any thing that is mean, treacherous and vil- Look out for such wretches, we say A few of the Looof jcos, not satisfied with our Dis-entche. sent for some Is couco Thev received for answer to their enquiries, that Foku was certain- ly tlected Governor of Ohio.

(j-The Journal is guilty of the grossest deception, No such despatch, as it asserts, has been received by -ither Locofucos" or Mexican Whigs. The des-j assured us that Ihe Legislature of Ohio is cer-! tar.ly democratic, while tho quest ioii of the Govern- or'a. election was involved in doubt. There seems to be no doubt that the v.hig returning oHjcers are i linking, in some instances fils? returns, for the pur- deception, so atj to inlluence Presidential; election.

There is no limit to their rascality, nor can we exprvt anything totter from Traitors, as many of tfctrn are. 0r A typographical error occurred in the last sen-teneo ef th5ih paragraph of Mr. Owen's letter to Mr. Evan0, by the use of the word cxtra-oii'ca, in- tid of as it ought to have been. The err is au provoking to us as it must be to Mr.

Uwen. We read th MS. ourselves, and know we read it aright ye! the- errcr escaped. Wc discovered it after trie -weekly edition was printed, and corrected it in the weekly; but we mention it, that if tho letter Lj copied from the seini-weekly, the error may be noted and corrected. Major Lemuel Ford.

Amongst the invited guests, at the Democratic Ear-be, Ue in this city on the 4th we saw Major L. Ford is the representative of the Indianians, in the regular service in the war with Mexico. Ford was tin orderly servant, in the war of IS Iii, and was taken prisoner nt Dudley's defeat, but saved his life by running the guant-let, between the filen of Tecumsch'd Indians. He commanded a company of mounted rangers from Clark county, during the Dlack Hawk war, and was a favorite officer with Gen. Dodc.

In 1810 he came very nearly being elected Colonel of the 2d regiment of Indiana volunteers, and it was much regretted afterwards by that regiment that he did not succeed. As captain ot 3d dragoons he served in the Mexican war, sallied out and escorted General Lane's army into Puebla when that city was besieged. Capt. Ford commanded his own and the late lamented Capt. S.

II. Wulker'a company of mounted riflemen at the buttle of Atlixco; and meeting some 12000 Mexicans, with only a' out VSj of his own command, ho cngnged them, and after a hard fought battle routed them, and killed between 2(K) and 300 before the infantry could possibly get up to participate in this brilliant affair. For this act of noble daring this vctern ii ofheer was brevctted to the rank cf Major, by President Polk. The presence of Major Ford und the gallant officers and voldiers of the five Indiana regimrnta of volunteers, made the scene a most interesting one. The Sentinel attempt to break the force of Mr.

Norland's statement in relation to the Illinois loco-foeo elector slandering the Jd regiment, by saying that Mr. Nowlnnd is the brother-in-law of Captain Rousseau! This is nut true, and the Sentinel folks ought to have known it. Even were he thus related, it would riot prevent his speaking the truth. Why bring in the nam of Capt. Kuu.niiti Docs the the Sentinel design imputing cowardice to that gentleman by implication I Why not como out boldly and make the charge direct Will the Sentinel dare take the responsibility Journal.

Sentinel may not have been precisely cor- rict in expressing its belief" ef the degree of lenl relationship between the parties named. Put persons tun early connected, arc generally Fpoken of as brotheis-in-law, however incorrectly. This is of little wo presume. U. The Sentinel neither "designs" nor sires to impute cowardice to any of the iM regiment it leaves that kind of business, especially in regard to general imputations, where no "responsibility" i.

to be incurred, to the Journal and other whig papers, which justify Taylor's sweeping assertions to that effect, t.ud by implication" reiterate thoe slanders, and sdmit tl eir own infamous bareness. 3. Put the Journal tries to avoid the true issue by raising false ones, not much to the credit of those it pretends to defend. The true issue is that made by Mr. Jucub Peck against Mr.

John Nowland. P. positively declares, and holds himself responsible for the declaration, that there was "no capta or any other o.licer, in either the 1st or LM Illinois regiments, by the name of Vandevetr," and therefore infers that other statements of Mr. N. connected with this are not true.

This is the real isue, which Mr. D. makes in a letter to us. We have only softem the terms which he makes use of, as Mr. N.

can see by the letter, if he wiehes. This issue the Journal doilies, and assumes that Mr. N.s statement was tru which is the main point to be settled. Mr. pVck denies it, and holds himself 'responsible." Journal is earnestly begging and praying the whigs to turn out on the election day and try with all their might to carry the State for Taylor the maligner of our citizens.

Why nil this begging, entreating and whining 1 Did not the Journal most positively aver, after the August election, that the Taylorites had a majority If so, what's the use cf the Journal's crying over itl The fact is, it knows that Tnylor is dxmed in this State, to an overwhelming and terribly just defeat. And if the Journal felt either like a true whig, or an honorable fndianian it seems to us it should be '1a cf it. To cheer the hearts of tho Loco foeo officeholders at Washington, tho Locofncos of Cohrmb 's telegraphed that Wcllnr had been elecied by three thousand majority Oh, tho graph The Sentinel and other Locofoco papers warn the people not to believe telegraphic dispatches." the above sentences appeared in the Journal of the lth. What can be the object of that paper Can any body guess 1 Is it to discredit the Tel-tiV-graph, or us, or the reverse 1 Verily, the Journal is a queer paper, very queer indeed. Is it not a little cracked in the upper story 1 latest news we have from Columbus, Ohio, is that Ford, the whig candidate for govenor, was 03 ahead of Weiler.

Returns not all in officially by some 12 counties, and some dispute or doubt about some that were in. Both parties claimed a probable victory, but neither were very sanguine. This news is reliable, such as our news always is. The ascendancy of parties in the Legislature will depend upon the settlement of two disputed seats in Hamilton County, if there be no other disputed seats. State will go for Cass certnn.

Journal talks about a "spy sent from the Sentinel office to listen to" a speech, to have been made at Pritlgep -rt, by a certain old lady from this town. That is rirh decidedly. The Journal's is irnoving Really we did not know that any such event as the speech wus to occur, or if we had heard of it, thought it of so little consequence that wo had entirely forgotten it. (iov. Letcher, after traveling much through Indiana, fully believes that the State can be carried for Taylor, and he is determined to devote nil his great energies to securing that result.

Thut whenever, in either ol these situations, the ludianiaii fulfils high vocation, witli honor and distinction, tho f.imo of that man becomes tho property of the Siato nnd should to ranked amongtl her denrest (ironies. With feelings of this character, wi have met to-day to contemplate, for a moment, tho char-nrter ol Vienil Joqh I. nne, now far awny, journeying to his distant home in Oregon. Ami why, it mav lie tiked, should we contemplate, his character Has n' fame enrolled hi name aiuongt the proudest heroes of thw Mexican war, and given hnn a litht of which Hiiy American might he promt, nod will not this sullice? 'We answer, that all tins hue, and it is for this very reason vo lire heie assembled.

It is to preserve thai character from iIioms who would lay their unhallowed hands upon it, that we are here assembled.

Caleb It. Smith, Uichard W. Thompson, the Whig Central Committee and others, ol our own State, were also present and what was the objeel i of tho meeting It was to tradurr the character oj Joseph iMiie. Aller diligent March, all over Indiana, one volunteer was found, willing to abuse Lis commander. The name of that individual fdiull find no place in this report-it i enough to say, that lor a similar etlort, the linn ho bears it was hissed in tho whig city of Terre Haute yet, in Indianapolis, tho men we have mentioned, and others, cheerwd the speaker.

The slanders of this speaker gave hcHiimt In .1 lit in vv In. iiNo lie linmelcs-. to i appear upon tho stand and go through with the task as-I signed him, amid the cheers of tho twimc individuals, who had given hun the work to do. This latter speaker, in the midst of the assemblage of Senators and Ex-Governor ol other States, that sur- rounded him, amused Ins auditors hy calling Lane a doi an ox, an ns, mid like classic and diginfo-d b' epithets asserting that he, (General Lane) had written hs defence of iL I i votni.f tVom motives. That he had received his price, as Governor of Oregon for this dirtv work, and had lied with his pri.o, leaving his raithian arrow, aimed at Genera! fund him.

that General Lane had dorn: nothii'g to en- title him to public distinction. That ho ahme, was the author of the report that Indianians had fled from the battle field of ISuena Vista, nnd should be field responsible for it. That ho was paid by the President for abusing General Ta h.r, having deserved no other credit that his few trilling skirmishes, on the Vera Cruz line, entitled him to no promotion. These were the sentiments, if not the language, ho used, surrounded by those who hat! brought him from Kentucky for tho purpose, and it is against them, more than their instrument, that we have met here to express our indignant feelings and to defend a man, now ubseut, who it present in Indiana, would need n', defence Iron, us. i The character of General Lane has been prominently identified with Indiana, for more than a quarter of a cen- tury.

We, of Indianapolis, have known him, as a mem- her, for several years, of both brunches of the Legila- 1 turo of the late, alwavs called, as we are well informed, by the almost united voice of all parties of his 1Iut citizens. Although always a decided Democrat, he re- ceive the warm support of his as well as members of h.s own party. He was a tn u.Cer ef the Senate whet, war was declared as exi-tin- hv tho act of Mexico, and had just succeeded with others, in effecting our State debt arrangement, having been called from his farm to aid in that work, by the united voice of the people of! his District, without distinction of party. The lienor and fame of Indiana wc.ie ever dear to his heart. The charge iof repudiation he determined should never be urged against and his voice had great weight in our Halls of.

legislation. His term Imd not expired, when, with other patriots, lie rallied around ihe standard of his country. Ho did not do like others, express a willing-j ness to go to the field as officers, but he entered the rank and enrolled In name as a private soldier. He was taken from the ranks and elected the first Colonel of the so. -oud Indiana regiment, every private soldier in the rpPlinont Imvinr ri.ilif tn vi.fr- an.

I liurn wo ctun Iticea charge against Ceneral Lane, that in his first re- port, fie saved the reputation of the of.icers of the rcgi- i ment, at the expense ot the men. He stated a ict in his I report, that after twenty-one round the men retired but he knew not then that the words "Cease firing ami re- treat'' had been given by their Colonel, and no one be-I heves, that had he known it, but that he would have i suffered his right arm to have fallen from his body rather than have withheld tho fact. Soon after his election, ns Colonel, he received a comtnision unsolicited and imex-' r.pi'trd on In mrt dent of the United With v. vi iji iaiiii i iid i 1. 1 iii'iu in i ri great distrust of hid abilities, being almost entirely ignorant of military science, lie assumed his new station, and early and late lie labored to qualify himstdf to command.

It ha been i said of General Lane, tint he as born a hero and a sol- dier.and the bloody field or Ituena Vista is a witness to' his cool and self-collected patriotism. Alan early period of Ihe action, he was wounded by a ball parsing through his arm, and while most other men similarly Htuated, would have retired, at leait fur medical relief, that bloody arm was seen, nmid the fne and smoke of the conflict, until victory pe.el.td our standards. It was then, and not till then that he hastened to his physician. Hilt It Wils OII the Vera lim vvhm rrlnnunn li Ith combat with troop, from Indiana and M.io, that, as commander 111 Chief, in tho batlles in which he ewi hmkc wie; ie, mu uieuiny iniiij was engaged, fie won for himself the proud title of the observable in he shape of a craft, was a small scow-Marion of tfie Mexican wnr.

Scott's army. lie was for several months constantly in his saddle. No dilliculty Feemed too hazardous for him to undertake, and was within two hours ol catching Santa Anna in his bed. In fine, it may bo paid with mide to Indiana, that General Lane, in the labt acta, which concluded ihe Mexican var, by Ins gallantry and bold exploits succeeded in chasing Santa Anna out of Mexico, dispersed the accumulating forces of Paredes, and hunted down and completely destroyed the power of the robber chief Jauranta, whose depredations had been so fatal to our troops and trains. In all thee movements no charge of rapine und pillage in urged againnt him, with the exception of Miflering some of Iiis officers to keep as trophies, Santa Anna's coat and cane, with that runaway ntlicer had left behind him in his flight.

In view of these and other considerations, Resolved, That the thanks of the people of Indiana are justly due to Genera! Joseph Lane, for his able nnd triumphant defence of our citizen soldiers, who participated in the battlo of Huena Visla. Resolved, Thai it is our firm conviction, that without Iiis efforts through a Court of Inquiry, instituted contrary to the KUggentions cf (ivneral Taylor, first on his own conduct, and then on lhat of Colonel Howies, and the facts elicited thereby, a dark spot must forever have remained on the fait fame of Indiana. licsolrcd, That wc feel indignant at the conduct of melt of our citizens, hn, for pnrtizan purposes, and to aid in a Presidential election, have imported orators from abroad to defame the character of Indiana's chosen son, General Joseph Lane, and it i our intention, as men who love our State, her character and glory, to hold up euch conduct lo public scorn and contempt. Ittsolted, That there is no excuse for the crying injustice lhat has been manifested against the character of Genera! Lane. That even the success of General Taylor for I'residen', Accomplished by fucli much as these men hope for and desire his election, cannot be justified on such grounds.

Iiesolved, That in our opinion, General Lane lias been sufficiently lender of the feelings of General Taylor. Not a syllable was ever heard from his lips against his old commander, for lie In hopes lie would correct his report, until after his letters to Defrees and Dunn were published, stating lie had no corrections to make; that nothing had transpired to ulier hit opinions. It was then, and not till then, that tho honest indignation i.f (inn ral Lano was aroused. His calculation was to remain in Indiana, where he could have defended, with his tongu, nil against us. (tut an unexpected appointment, as Governor of Oregon, occasioned by the declination of, Ceti.

Shields to seive, hastened him away, in quick haste, from home und friends. Tho reputation of Indiana was dear to him still, and ie he left, he bequeathed to Iridium his parting defence of her hrave volunteers. We. may never be permitted to look upon tho noble, form and 4 witness the lhrohhiups of the patriotic heart of Joseph Lane again. New perils and dangcis may surround him; but in their heart of hearts the true peoph of Indiana will forever cherish his tirtucs and his memory.

The reprrt and resolutions were unanimously adopted as lie sense of the meeting. The meeting was tin addressed by Maj. A. F. Morrison, Capt.

Ldwaud and Senator SStewakt, in relation to tho character and services of Gen. Lane, which were, frequently interrupted by enthusiastic cheers. On motion of Mr. INiwkll Howi.and, a ropy of tho published proceedings ol this and the former meeting were ordered lo bo forwarded to General Lane. The meeting also directed a cony of th proceedings to be sent to the family of Gen.

Lane, who are yet at Evnns-villo. On motion, the meeting adjourned. JAS. 1. DKAKK, Chrirman.

If the people had been gulled by Ford's silence, the Journal would not now have a word to say against him. It goes for the policy likely to win, whether it bo rijjht or wrong. It approves of the same kind of trickery in Taylor, and thoo who mannen and advise him. It nys nothing against his ridiculous and scandalous conduct now it will chuckl' over it sh old he by any chance possibility be successful but if ho is beaten, as he in all probability will be, the Journal w.ll turn riht round, in Ihe present case of Ford, curse him fur his follv and inanity, and with hnr fuo will re- mind the people that it always thought a regard for whig principles forbade the nomination of such man What a pink of a paper The Whigs claim PeniHvlvauia for Tnylor hecauo I Johnson, the candidate for Governor, is sup.

The ringing of the bell Lroiighi together a promiscuous crowd of whigs, democrats, and tree soil men, tho two latter forming a I urge proportion ol the meeting. The scene opened with a two hour speech from Caleh. The speech was utterly destitute of that candor and truth which should characterize a representative in the legislature of the nation. It was mide up of misrepresentations of the measures end principles of the democratic party, and declarations wholly unsustained by fact or document. I cannot givu you a synopsis of tho speech, and if I could, it would not be interesting, eicepting that it might show how far federal politicians can depart from iho truth, and how much they rely on the gullibility of the people.

To the satisfaction of some of bis audience, Mr. Smith proved the war lo be unjust and wicked, and an aggression on weak nhd innocent nation, but in this poitiou of bis speech he was unfortunate, for if the war was so atrocious, how can be ask the voters of the county to siiNtain the uinii who was principnl in all the guilt, whose bauds are ctieekiug with Mexican blood, nnd who lias Hpproved the war by declaring that in it the honor of our country has been vindicated. but Mr. Smith said Gen.
