In a word, in its n«,ws, its editorials, literary, miscellany, and in iu general reading, it shall not bo surpassed by any paper circulated in the State. It Witt be particularly adopted to the family eirele. No thinking man in the State can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel, at the small cost at which it is furnished. THE BFNTINEL, in addition to its superiority, is moreover an Indiana Paper, devoted to and especially represents Indiana’s interests, polities! and otherwise, as no foreign paper will or can do, and ought, therefore, to have preference ever the papers of other States, and we ask Democrats to bear this in mind, aid Selbot Their Own State Papeb When they come to take up subscrip lions and make up clubs.

THE IMPENDING CONFLICT.

The recent elections have revealed poJi'ictl conditions which will, without doubt, make the Presidential election next fall the greatest political conflict of our history. It is due to truth to say that the conditions uh <wn are Much that each party may reasonably be'.ieve that it can succeed by » mighty effort. Here in Indiana, as in ’76 and ’BO, will be enacted a mighty struggle. Thu corrupt parly whkh has boon for nearly a gens fndon fattening upon spoils smi phindrr, will gorfrnm its J<>rg pos* session <<!' a Gauaau flowing with the milk and honey ot sp'hifi, only when it has exhausted ite utmost endeavors to stay The Country is no stranger to the character and variety of means brought into requisitions where Republican monopolists, boasts ami plunderers united iy make an effort. 1 Follow Democrats, there are conditions upon whieh we may reasonably r ;ck«n a robabie success. These c >ndit tons, and the duly ones, are a uniied and great effort. Evkry B«OUL DIR TO THE whirl! Even now the conflict is in the air.— The Sentinel will contribute its best effort te the end es a grand Democratic victory. Its work can l>e best done when a weekly visitor to every Democratic home, hence we aak to become such a visitor, and add that now is the time for every Democrat in the State to subscribe for the Sentinel.
