(Porter County Vidette, Rep.) “We read the Indiana Sentinel with admiration for its advocacy of ’he honest dollar promised for the pubi c debt, and of the true economy of using public debt for currency and saving so much interest, instead of p y ing interest on bonds and 1 -tting bui k debts serve for currency, but when we see it seems to use such policy for only partisan advancement., we are mortified by its illiberality and lack of candor. Those iepublicans w o advocate the same views seem t > <h> it from a patriotic motive.” To which the Sentinel very pn niptly and correctly responds; “Our cotemporary is not well informed. The Sentinel has been told by the Journal that the two graat measures of relief now pending in the Senate, and which have passed the house byoverwheln - ing mt jorities, are purely democratic measures, to which we say amen.” And we will add that “Those r • publicans who advocate the same views” only "seem to do it from a patriotic motive.” Every ladical paper advocating these views, that has come to our notice, excepting the Vidette, have done so with the declaratory statement that the opposite policy will “snow them under.” They certainly “seem to do it horn a patriotic motive.”
