He is sure to bcelected. A wonderful re-action has taken place in the public mind within the last three weeks. The people, and particularly the Democracy, are becoming awake to the misrepresentations o' the abolitionists. Never yet was a great
battle of this kind won by lies and hypocrisy. The principle in the Nebraska bill, "Shall the people govern themselves, is a vital American principle, which the people
cannot but accede to le traitor, and associate of Giddings, Campbe]!, and the leading abolitionists ia Con

£3TThe Lafayette Courier makes a great ado about an immaterial error we Jell into,
in a short article on Nebraska and Kansas. The point we wished to make was, that slavery had existed, or in other words, thaft slaves were held in the Territory of Kansas under the famous Missouri Compromise: and we wished to know how much worse it

with the question, because slavery existed! ^ation
ihere under the old order of things.— This being the fact, will the Courier be good enough to inform us what efficacy the Missouri Compromise had I: slavery existed there in the face of the restriction,
what good did that restriction do?— The misfortune with it was, that it had no

«tnan and the Democracy, as well as the Journal and the Locomotive, know this.— Careful, prudent, judicious, and so trustworthy as to be above suspicion, he is the very man the people want for that responsible post.
Sundry letters, which Mr. Lee addressed to the Banner of Liberty, has afforded the Journal and the Locomotive, and his enemies generally, their only ground of attack. Those letters were strongly anti-prohibition and as Mr. L. is an anti-prohibition man, there was nothing inconsistent in them.— All that has been said or writu-a about them, he only laughs at. He knows well that the more he is abused about them, particularly by the Journal and its satellite, the surer he is of the support of the people by whom he was nominated. When the former sheet insinuates that those letters are "false and slanderous against his neighbors," lie rests easy and sleeps soundly, perfectly conscious that all the world knows the insinuation a base falsehood, unworthy his notice. If any one doubts, however, he has the letters, and will show them to let them speak fur themselves. It will give
him great pleasure in that way to disabuse the minds of his fellow-citizens. Mr. L. is the strongest man on our ticket, and heucc lie has been made the exclusive object of attack and abuse. lie cannot be injured by such means. The people will stand by him.

This criticism is very mild, and we intend it 5=o. The truth is, he is scarcely responsible for what he writes, for the reason that he has as little judgement as a "natural." So in law a madman is not responsible for his muruer he wonder is, that a sensible party will permit him to continue at the

Dan. Mace, as every body knews, is the abolition candidate for Congress against Dr. Davis. The Major in his life has been the subject of much abuse, always well deserved. At nobody's hand, however, has he received so much as from Fry's. But now that he is nominated by the abolition party, as revised and corrected on the 13th of July, and as the r. belongs to that fusion act,
it becomes necessary to hoist Mace's name at the head of the Journal. It was a terrible pill, and how gracefully he has swallowed it the public may judge for themselves. "VVe subjoin extracts from his last

The italics are our own." Now why should it appear strange? To answer this fairly we will have to go back to 1852.— In No. 7, of the Journal of that year the Dr. gave vent to the following happy arti
cles. We give them in full.
THE ilON. DA KIEL MACE. We understand that the Hon. Dan. Mace in his speech before the Locofoco District Convention, denounced us in very bitter terms in consequence of our remarks upon his frequent political somersets and more particularly our allusion to the "Bioomer Costume." It would se^m that the Hon. Gentleman considers himself privileged to viHify and slander the character of Gen.

requested him to become a candidate. If voted for large appropriations ot Lands tor he is actuated by the Prohibitionists, which ^1C construction ot a great sj stem ot Kail roads in a word, that he has been on both is not altogether improbable, then more than ever lie is not a democrat. There is but one other party in the county that can be made responsible for his present action. We allude to the Know Nothings. Sometime ago we learned that this mysterious order had not only resolved upon beating,

Mace, but the intention, the object he (Mace) had in view, is the point at which we look, and by this we judge him.
The Hon. Gentleman seems to think our allusion to his Bloomerism an unpardonable offence, a high crime, a base assault upon his character. Now if the mere allusion is so infamous, what must be the turpitud

and now credit it to the Dr. as the only truth of all his editorial life. WTe say again the articles are pretty severe, and, as they are in all respects absolutely true, we here now most humbly beg the Dr.'s pardon for having contradicted them.,.. *We will even go farther. Howev

much esteemed friend, W. F. Lane, Esq., of Lafayette. Everybody to whom that gentleman is known knows him to be an honest incorruptible Whig of the old School. On the 17th of Sept. 1853, which was the date of the last convention of the Whigs of Tippecanoe county, Mr. Lane was so highly esteemed by his brethren of that ilk, that he, together with some eight other gentlemen, was duly constituted a Central Committee, charged with the important duty of having an eye over the welfare of the timehonored Whig party of Tippecanoe. At
that time coming events had not cast so much as a shadow before them or, less poetically speaking, no one then dreamed that there would be on the 13th of July, 1854, a State Convention held at Indianapolis, by which the "People's Party" would be bom, and the old Whig party submitted to that singular process lately invented and scientifically termed—abolitionizing. In this state of unconscious bliss, Mr. Lane and his eight compatriots accepted the then honorable post.
But the 13th of July came round. The Bob-tail-ites met in convention full of anti-Nebraska-ism as an egg is of meat. Then and there a traitorous crevr of Whigs, Democrats, and Abolitionists brought in the old Whig party, stripped it of its principles, and dressed it in an abolition coat and breeches, pulled free-soil boots on its leet,
and stuck a Know-Nothing beaver on its dishonored head. "Alas, poor Yorick! There were many noble Whigs who scorned the deed, and have since refused
political association with its actors. Some of them reside in Lafayette. It may look
invidious, but we can't refrain from mentioning a fev/ of them. There are iom. Benbridge, Frank. Lane, Zeb. Baird, David Ross, Nat. Webb, and William Hen
derson, to whom should be all Whig honor and all Democratic respect—noble fellows, and honorable, who love their country as
they hate abolitionism. They resented the murder. Baird be-

SIR:—I have been taking the Banner for several years, and am well pleased with the fearless manner in which it is conducted, and its exposures of the various schemes of priestcraft that arc now threatening to destroy the liberties of the people. It appears that our state is now swarming with those miserable hirelings who are en-o-ai'-ed in preaching a crusade against our glorious institutions, that were established, by the blood and treasure of our revolutionary fathers. They have unfurled their banner to the breeze, with this inscription:
