The Jeffersonian. speaking of Jadge Borden's address at Spartansburgh, Randolph county, Indiana, says: " Mr. Borden's positions on all t';o questions discussed, were about the same as those l Mr. Julian.'' In this attempt of tho Jeffersonian lo boost George W. Julian on to the democratic platform, the editor docs great injustice to Judge Borden. Judge Borden is a democrat never voted anything but a democratic ticket in his life. Has always favored tho democratic organization, voted for General Cass, and will sustain the democratic nominee for President in tho next election ; vote for the democratic candidates for officers in the House, and will vote against the repeal of the fugitive slave law Now fur the difference. Julian never voted a democratic ticket in hü life, was always a rabid whig until Holloway beat him for tho Senate- Since that lime he has voted the free-soil ticket never supporting democrats; voted for Van Buren in lS4t. and in the last Congress against every regular democrat for office ; was never admitted into a democratic caucus in his life, and shoul.l he be elected, he will again vote with Durkee, Giddings, and Tuck, fr some red-mouth ed abolitionist. Yet the Jeffersonian says Judge Borden occupies abont the same position. JIajor Mace. The Indiana State Journal of yesterday contains an extract from tho Lafayette Conner to prove that Major Mace is opposed to the fugitive slave law. Now the Major in al- Iiis speeches has avowed himself in favor of the law and against its repeal. Wc hope ow friends will take his word in preference to the Editor ef the Journal or even the Courier. If they fail to vote for Major Maee, who is the regular nominee, they aid in the election of Mr. Brier, who is an avow ed opponent of the law. IL7"Tho editor of the State Sentinel exhibits more anxiety for the defeat of Mr. Julian and the election of Mr. Parker, than he does for the election of any democrat in the State. This looks very singular to democrats. J'.jj rsonian. Tho editor of the JefTersonian exhibits more anxiety for the election of Mr. Julian than he does for any democrat in the State. This looks very singular to Democrats. The truth is, we shall hereafter see our friend Elder at the free soil communion table with Julian, Vaile, and Hull. Sorry to lose you Jeemrs. IJ"Our friend Elder is very much alarmed for fear the Whigs will get a majority in the Legislature, and make an nnfair ard unjust apportionment. We arc in favor of adding to the fourth district Randolph county, which would concentrate free soilism. We are decidedly oppoaed to the extension of that institution. A district so formed would leave the rest of the Stato uncontamin. ated. Scoundrel isan. The following is an extract from an abolition lecture delivered at Danvers, Mass., at a late gathering of fanatics on the sabbath day by the Rev. Parker Pillsbury: " George Washington waded in blood through an eight year's war; be then went home and grew rich n selling his neighbors and stealing their hard earnings. N There is not a sterile hill-top in Austria but that is more sacred to freedom than Bunker Hill snd th plains of Lexington and Concord. The vilest mud scow that floats on the Danube is a nobler craft than the proud frigate Constitution." ilank treason, for which the author deserves to be ant g, and his polluted soul " turned into Hell with all She aations that forget God." How Fraternal. The Sewaxd organs in New York let slip no onpor(unity to hit the "Compromise" President, as they sneeringly style Mr. Fillxobe. Here is the latest one from the Albany Knickerbocker : Thank rz roa Nothing. The State Register, Rochester American, and other supporters of the mongrel administration at Washingtoa , are trying to be satisfied with the endorsement which Fillmore receives from the Whigs of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vermont. These endorsements are very ranch like the certificates of character given to poor servants. "Yon won't do forme, Biddy. Here's a recommend, and I hope you'll get another place as soon as possible." CTAt an Anti-slavery meeting held in Geanga Co., Ohio, on the 4th inst , Mr. Gidding was present and publicly announced that he had withdrawn from the N. 8. Pretfbyterian Church on account of Slavery Sev Lisbon Aurora.

George W. Julian and Repeal. We understand that Mr. Julian denies that he is for the repeal of the fugitive slats law. Ho talks about amending the "objectionable features" the ' harsh provisions'

of the law Now all this is sh ei hypocrisy tu gull the Union democrats. During the last session he introduced more lhaa fifty petitions, all for the rep al of that law. That he was in favor of granting the prayer of these fanatics we have positive evidence. On the tilh of January he introduced the following petition, the proceedings on which we copy from the Congressional Globe: FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW. Mr. Julian moved to suspend the rules, to enable him to present a petition or memorial from the yearly meeting of the Society of Friends in the State of Indiana, asking for the repeal of the fugitive slave bill passed at the last session of Conirress. His object in asking the House to suspend the rules was that the memorial might be relcrrcd to the Judieiary Committee, with instate- i tin favor of the prayer of the aSlSWHsl I ed for the yeas and nays on the motion to , 1 9 tions to repor i -t He akcd sinnend the ru Mr. Brown, ol Indiana. I siiouiu iikc to mow w newer there has been any objection to the proscnlatiou of tho memorial? The Speaker. There has not. Mr. Julian. I make the motion to suspend tho rules in case there is any objection. Tho Speaker. Tho gentleman from Indiana, then, asks tho unanimous consent of the House to present the memorial referred to. Is there any objection! Several members objected . Mr. Julian. Then I move to suspend tho rules, and ask for the yeas and nays on that motion. The yeas and nuys were ordered. Mr. Hall. Is it' now in order to have the memorial read. I want to know what I am voting on. Tho Speaker. The House can order it to lie read. Mr. Inge. I object to the reading of the memorial, unless the House order it. The Speaker put the question, and the House ordered the reading of tho memorial. The clerk read he memorial, as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congrcst Assembled: By the following memorial, the Yearly Meeting of the religious Society of Anti-Slavery Friend would respectfully present their views on certain subjects, which should undoubtedly awaken tho interest of every citizen of our common country. While we have ever believed civil government to be of Divin ordination, and admitted it to be the duty of christians to be in subjection to its authority, wo have beheld even in our own favored country, blest with better institutions than most other nations, many deplorable instan - - . . . I . ... - I L - . I. ces of its perversion. V henev enevcr the powers of any Governm -'i are so wield-! to conflict with the Divine law as frl down in the ed as Scriptures whenever they support any institution subversive of justice, it is evident that (bat government is perverted from its true object ; and from such an administration we believe it our duty to withhold alt active support. That the system of chattel slavery, is tolerated ami legalized in the Southern portiou of this Union, and also in that District over which you have full jurisdiction, is nn institution of injustice is too plain a proposiiion lo require argument for its support. While wo continue to urge upon you the duty and necessity of abolishing slavery wherever you have the power, and of doing whatever else you can to weaken that iniquitous system, we feel called upon at the present time, particularly, to denounce a bill recently passed for the rcclamnti n of fugitives, the whole of which seems to be based on the assumption that the legal slaveholder has a right of property in the person of the unfortunate man whom he claims as his slave. Were it possible for you to divest yourselves of the prejudice of education, and come out of the mists in which the habit of considering slaves as property has enveloped you, and look upon man in his true light as the noblest creature of Infinite Wisdom, an object of Divine grace, and heir of immortality tho proposition that ho could liocomc property, would certainly appear preposterous in the extreme. We arc aware that it is argued by some that the people of the freo States are bound by ä certain compromise in tho Federal Constitution, to refuse assistance to the stranger, fleeing from Republican oppression to monarchical liberty; yet, while we must ever contend that there is a binding law higher than any human enactment., we must view the above-named bill as a law far more unjust and wicked than is required even by that unholy compromise. In paying the salaries of the commissioners provided for by this act, we see nothing but a useless, worse than useless, and prodigal expenditure of the national treasure. According to the provisions of this bill, the testimony of the claimant, or agent, is to bo prima facie evidence ffainst the albged fugitive, and so he is prevented from giving his own evidence, which makes every colored prson bablo to bo taken, though legally free; and renders the law unfair and odious in the sight even of those who believe that that is propeity which the law makes property. By another provision, it is made a criminal oflonee, punishable by a heavy fine, to assist a fugitive peaceably and luadably striving to regain his lost liberty his natural and inherent rights. How plainly is this contrary to the equitable and merciful precepts of the Gospel. To feed the hungry, clothe the naked, defend the fatherless, and plead for the widow in short, to perform deeds of charity a. id mercy, is made the duty oi the follower of Christ, and will be taken as evidence of their love of and faith in him; but by this law it is made a crime! Thus has Congress, at its last session, in the passage of this bill, set good for evil and evil for good light for darkness and darkness for light; and wc would extend to you an earnest and friendly warning, to leware of the woe pronounced against those who thus do. In conclusion, we appeal to you by your love of Right and Justice by your love of the peace of your country, which is endangered by laws so repugnant to the feelings of tho mass of the northern people, and by your hope of happiness hereafter, to immediately repeal this cruel, wicked, and infamous law, no longer suller our national professions to be so belied, and our national character thus disgraced. Signed by direction, and on behalf of the meeting aforesaid, held at Newport. Wayne county, Indiana. 10th month, 3rd. 1S50. WALTER EDGERTON, Clerk. Mr. Richardson inquired if it was in order to move to lav the motion for tho reception of the petition on the table? The Speaker stated that the pending question was on ihe motion to suspend the rules to enable the gentleman Irom Indiana to present the memorial. Mr. Stanly asked if the gentleman from Indiana could not, nndcr the rules of tho House, present the petition and have it referred to such a committee as he ocsirad! The Speaker replied that the gentleman from Indiana could, under the rules of the House, present the memorial and hare it referred, but not with the instructions which he proposed to give. Mr. Stanly. I understand, then, that he asks to suspend the rules only iu order to givo instructions to the committee. Mr. Kaufman desired to know what the instructions were, which the gentleman from Indiana propot-ad to givo to the committee? Mr. Julian said that his intention in asking to present the memorial was that it should be referred to the comtnittec with instructions to report in favor of the praver of the memorialists, that the fugitive slave law should be repealed. Now if Mr. Julian was in favor of amending the law and not repealing it, why did he not move to so instruct his committee. We have no fuither comments. Democrats of the fourth district, if you desire this slavery agitation to be continued, if you arc in favor of the repeal of the fugitive slave law, vote for Mr. Julian!

r an iue next morning at nine o clock, attended by her ladies and gentlemen in waiting, to inspect each depart ment personall v, and to receive information from those severally in charge; consequently there was quite a gathering of nobles and citizen from the West End. After a time the Queen arrived at the beautiful fancy soap stand from Philadelphia, at each great orner of which, stand in bold relief the busts of Washington and Taylor, with an inscription on the head of each, viz: ''This is all solid soap." "The Queen seemed to doabt tho fact, and suddenlytaking a gold pin from her dress, was about testing the truth of it, by running the pin into the head of Washington, when the Philadelphia seeing her object, placed his hand between the pin and bust, and with gravity and politeness of his lody, observed "It is the bust of Washington, your Majesty." Quick as thought Prince Albert said, with a smile, to the interested Queen, "It is only royalty picking at liberty " The next morning an order came from Buckingham Palace for a box of the Philadelphia soap." ItA man named Henderson, of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, a few days since cut olT ope ol his hands, that he might have an excuse for not laboring for a living. fCWe learn by a telegraphic despatch that the Hon. Wm. C. Preston, of South Carolina, while on a visit to Fairfield, was struck with paralysis.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1851.

8am Drentoa Sold. We rati tell ihis Reverend gentleman in advance thai he is sold. The free-soilers in Randolph. Grant, ami Jay, will vote for Borden. This has been brought about I r ft ft r I I , , oy George n . junan anu nis menus in ayne couniv. where Judge Borden once resided and where he has many friends. To con vi nee tho Democrats that the freesoilers arc extremely liberal, they voto for tho democratic candidates for county officers in Union, Wayne, and Henry counties. This is not all. The Jeffersonian comes out nnd represents Judge Borden ss occupying i the same ground as Mr. Julian, thereupon the organ of free-soilism, Vaile'" paper, at Centreville, comes out and recommends tho frcc-joilcrs to vote for Judge Borden' and asserts that ho (the Judge) "not only takes ground iu favor of the repeal of tho present fugitive slave law, but , WByj Wmjfk ha hW ( lTWaStOseeora the person ... , , T . u Ll claimed as a slave a lair Jury trial with the same right of appeal as exists in other cases." This is doing Judge Borden great injustice and may if uncontradicted lose him more democratic votes than there arc free-soilers in the district. From those who have beard both tho gentlemen, wc understand that tho assertion of Mr. Vailo is wholly unwarranted by the facts. Mr. Borden takes no such position. Il is a mere trick to reconcilo bis friends to the support of Julian, and, if it were the means of defeating tho Judge, Vaile, who never voted a democratic ticket in his life, would not care a fig Ihe object is to elect Julian and to reconeile the democrats who are opposed to him. In this trick Judge Borden, we arc assured, has no agency. The ob- j ject of it is to benefit Julian. Ho that cannot see it is blind. It may bo the means of increasing tho Judge's majority. It may utterly annihilate Brenton. who has gone over to tho Nul party, body and breeches. lational democrats look out. Be not carried away on the ; eve of the election. Vote for Judge Borden because he is a democrat, a gentleman of talents, and the nominee of your own convention. Suffer not the free soilers of Wayne county to take him to their foul embrace w ithout his conseut. The Madison Courier. This free-soil disorganizing sheet since it has been denounced by the democracy of Jefferson county, in mass meeting, and excommunicated from the democratic i dllircn has become perfectly rabid. It talks about the freedom of tho press being assailed. Now wc think there is not a single reader of the Courier in the State who is not convinced that it is nfree press perfectly free. It peak of Senator Bright as the " great Rhi noceros," " Dictator," " Imperial Senator," " base counterfeiter," " the owner of thirty-nine human chattels," and as for us, the Editor of the Sentinel, he has ceased all arguments and deals only in low personalities, copies largely from the Indiana Statesman to showin what estimation we arc held by the people of Indianapolis, where we reside, 8tc. After throwing all sorts of Garbage on us, on Senator Bright, and on all who disappiovc his course, he complains pitiously that the freedon, of the press is assailed. Talks of the serfs of Russia and the people being soid like '' human chattels." All this trouble misht have been avoided if Mr. Bright had been disposed to buy him. Tha purchase would have been all that he desired. 0The JefTersonian contains a lopg apology for Mr. J slian, excusing him for voting against the democratic candidates in the organization of the House. In relation to door-keeper, the editor says: " Door-keeper was next balloted for, and Charles L. Weiler was nominated by the democrats. Serious charges against his character were made, and for that reason Mr. Julian refused to vote for him. If Mr. J. believed the charges founded in truth he was justifiable in not voting tor him, even had he been pledged to vote for democrats, which w as not the case." What were the serious charges against his character? Mr. Weiler was for many years a clerk in the post-office department , and is now the Editor of the Hamilton Telegraph. We know him well, and can unhesitatingly say that any charges against him are utterly groundless. The truth is, Julian desired the election of Scrvetus Tufts, a vry -decided whig, for whom he had voted. Mr. Elder will not pretend ts say that Julian's vote would n it have elected Mr. Weiler. Ho refused to give it, and a whig was continued in office. CThe whig papers in the Third District inqnire why, at the first session of the last Congress John L. Robinson was allowed mileage for 910 miles and at the last session 1,030? We answer this question with great I pleasure, and the answer is an argument in favor of a change of the law, for which Mr. Robinson voted. The law allows mileage by the route usually travelled. At the first session the routo usually travelled from Mr. Robinson's residence was by tho way of Brookvillo to Cincinnati, toe. Before the next session, the railroad j was completed to Rushrille, which changed flic route by way of Madison. The introduction of railroads whilst they have increased the facilities far travel, have added more than 20 per cent, to the mileage of memn s of Congress. It was Mr. Robinson's right under the law. The committee allowed it, and it would have been regarded as shear demagogucism if ho had refused to take it. tC" Mr. Brown savs his hostility to Mr. Julian is not , personal but political, and is on account of his course in Congress. Mr. Brown was just as hostile two years ago to Mr. Julian as he is now. Mr. Julian had not . been in Congress then, and why was he to hiiterly opposed to him at that time if hi, hostility was not personal? We guess personal feeling is at the bottom of it.Jeft r ,J ftrsonian Two years ago the contest was between Parker, a.j Taylor Whig, nnd Julian, a Van Buren Abolitionist . ; Having had some experience in Congress wc knew that : a brawling abolitionist could do more harm than a whig j j we therefore preferred the least evil. When Mr. Julian , resided in this district, ho was a bitter, unrelenting 1 whig. He had abandoned the whig party, and united j with the Van Bitch traitors to defeat Cass. As the ; friend of Cass, it was not very natural that we should ) desir his success. Wo predicted that if he were elect- . ed lie would stand in opposition to the Democratic organization, and wo are sorry to say that our predictions were verified. Wo then opposed Mr. Julian for what we knew he would do. Wo now oppose him for what he has done, and what he will again do. TT mm T I P J . I a. I . iu we .earn i.om mao.son mat mere is now a strong prospect of electing Cnpt. John A. Hendricks to the Legislature. Capt. Hendricks is a gentleman of much capacity, and should he be elected, will mako an able and efficient Representative. His chance of success. ' 1 11 Madison courier, winch is now only sustained by tho whigs, with a view of dividing and defeating the democratic ticket. This tho democrats understand, and its influence kicks backwards. John 6s Davis has Resigned. We have just been informed by Governor Wright that be this day received the resignation of John G- Davis, Esq., clerk of the Parke Circuit Court, and has filed the same in the office of Secretary of State. We hope this will quiet the fears of our whig friends in the 7th district. They had no such qualms when voting for Gen. Taylor. D The uniform of the army has been changed. The frock is substituted for the dress coat, and the Hungarian cap for the French chapcau. The precise cut of the whiskers has not been determined. J i Hon. Willis A. Gorman and Eli P. Farmer, the candidates for Congress in the Sixth District, will speak at Waverly to-morrow, and at Moorcsvillc the nextday, at one o'clock.

Wabash College. The annual Commencement of Wabash College, located at Crawfordsville, came oft" on Thursday last, 24th inst. A large number of visitors were in attendance during Commencement week. The several classes were examined on the 16th, 17th, 13th and 21st of July, and we are informed by those present that the students as a lody acquitted themselves with great credit. On the evening of the 21st, declamations were hcurd from a number of students, at the close of which the first prizo was awarded to Blackford

Condit, of Terre Haute, for proficiency in declamation TLo Rnnuni meetin of the Board of Trustees was held on Tuesday. On Tuesday evening an oration was delivered before the Lyceum Literary Society, by Rev. Edwin Holt, of Madison, which is said to have been an able effort. Mr. H. preached a very eloquent sermon at the j;ccoruj Presbyterian Church, in Th. wKh A,.,lmu of Wn Wabash Academy ol Seien in on Wednesday morning. 1 this city, on yesterday. nco held its annaal meetThe Society is composed of some of tho most scientific i.icn in the State.

A scries of resolution were adopted in favor of a Geological Survey of the State; and authorizing au address on the subject to le prepared by the Society, and presCnted to the next Legislature. In the afternoon of Tuesday, the Associated Alumni were addressed by Rov. Charles H. Marshall. In the evening, an oration whs delivered before the Calliopean Society, by Rev. Thomas E. Thomas, D. D., President 0f souln Hanover College, in which, it is said, he was rather harsh on the isms of the day, especially Bloomerism and the Spiritual Rapping. On Thursday, the exercises of the Graduating Class eame off, whicli wo had the pleasure of witnessing. , The addresses from tho graduates were as bÖDWir Durability of the Real, E. El.

B. was then conferred on the gra duates, seven in number, by President White, followed by an eloquent address to the class. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by the President on tho previous Sunday. Wabash College is in a prosperous condition. The officers are all men of great scholastic merit, having the good of tho institution and its students at heart. The number of students in attendance at the last term was quite large. The College buildings and grounds are beautifully located in the western part of Craw fords villc, one ol the healthiest towns in Indiana, and which

will bo easy of access, by railroads, in less than twelve j smiles of Heaven, they may plant tho germ of a mighty months. Most of the students room nnd board in the . empire, and through their light, liberty, science ami College, and owing to this fact the budding is much j religion, may be planted in the dark and benighted recrowded, but we understand that an addition w ill be gions of Ethiopia, which shall yet stretch forth her hand made to the main building during vacation, which will j to God.

gcology. The two literary societies have, also, very respectable libraries. Julian and Resistance. Wc clip the following from the Jeffersonian: " The Parker whigs arc becoming desperate, and they resort lo every snecies of falsehood and misrciiresentation. They charge Mr. Julian wilh saving that he would resist the Fugitive Slave law. Mr. Julian has repeatedly denied the charge, and said he was in favor of submitting to the law. whiie it n.-inaincd on the statute book, but still the Parkcrites continue to assert the falsehood." Here is a positive denial. Now for the proof. On the 2öth day of September, alter the passage of the Fugitive Slave law, Mr. Julian made a speech in Committee of the Whole on the Army Bill; he said: " I give notice now to our Southern brethren that their newly vamped Fugitive Slave bill cannot be executed in that portion of Indiana which I have the honor to represent. The moral sense of our people will revolt at its provisions, and set them at defiance ; w hile the man who shall attempt to enforce them, will cover himself with the infamy which belongs to the trade of a pirate." mr i . . l i i- ir . iow ne tuner incani ro resist me law mmseii, or ne pledged himself that his constituents would do that which ho was too cowardly to do himself.

Tho roof of tho Statesman Office was struck by lightning, tearing away a portion of a chimney and some of the shingles, but doing no other damage. Judge Hammond's house, adjoining, was also struck, the electric fluid being attracted thither by an iron balustrade in front of the building. No damage was done, except the tearing away of some plastering and the melting of the bell wire. This iron railing no doubt saved the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Hammond, who wore sleeping in a room in the immediate vicinity, as, also, that of some boys who were within six feet of ihe ; roof of the Statesman office, at the time the building was struck.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1S51.

The Election. Next Monday is the day. Democrats, are yon ready ftar the coafttctf Tho election is an important one. The next Presidential election may devolve on the House of Representatives. This probable contingency sdds importance to the Congressional elections. If by division in our ranks, or apathy in our paity, the Whigs e'ect a majority of the delegation in Congress, the Stato is lost to us in the Presidential contest. If tho House is whig, every etlort will be made to throw the election where succeifc to our opponents will lc certain. Democrats, think of these things! Rouse up your neighbors! Show them the importance of their votes! On vote may decide a doubtful district. Let no democrat be defeated for the loss of that one vote. Go to tho polls early. Work all day. Send horses and teams, .and bring out tho lame and the laggards. Let a full vote be cast. Your opponents will bo there. Meet them, not with angry words, but with calm, convincing arguments. Do your duty. Then, with a quiet concienee, you can sleep soundly. You will have the approving smiles of your wife, und your children will rise up and call you blessed. The New Constitution of Indiana. On this instrument-, framed with so much care and Malm, as to call forth the admiration of the most dis tinguished statesmen of the nation, will the people be j called to vole on next Monday. With all its liberal and 1 benefit- uil provisions, no one will claim for it perfection. This is not the question. You should only inquire if it

is better than the old one. In our estimation it is far racy of Indiana, that moment we go into a minority, superior.

Wc have been able to discover but one remedy, and that is African colonization. Let them be planted in the rich and fertile regions of Western Africa.

Whether things arc as thev ought to be. il is unnecessary to argue. Wc must, as practical men, meet the question as it is, and in this view- we sec but one remedy, which is separation and colonization. The .tladisoninii.

The Statesman. This pper Was commenced , and has been conducted with a view of sus'.ainin" the free Soil Wilmot Proviso interest in Indiana. It came out in opposition to the eompr'Tttisc measures before they had passe! Congress. The Editor of the Sentinel, as a member of Congress, sustained each and etery one of these ::reat measures, .Iri.rnnl i . !.. ,r, hi: tunny and quiet to the country.

! As Editor of the State Sentinel, we have steadily dej fended them and the men who supported them, without regard to their location or their names. For this, ws have called doWn oil out head opposition, more fierce and vindictive than was ever before experienced by the Editor of any political journal in the Slate. When we returned liom Washington, last September, the tmpif of slander was at work to misrepresent these measures, and to imieach the motives of those who sustained them. The lion was in our path, ami we made battle. In the conflict the great body or the Democratic party and the Democratic press have been with us. Without their aid the battle would have been easily gained by our enemies, and Indiana would now present the humiliating spectacle of a mongrel Democracy standing on the sectional platform of opposition to the South and their peculiar institutions, w hich are recognised by the Constitution. To oppose these measures and that poiiion of the Democracy which sustained them, was the Statesman commenced. Dr. Ellis in his editorials, from the commence. ment, has fully shadowed forth this as his policy, Speaking of the Fugitive Slave Law, be says: "Let individual do and say what they pleas,-, but the moment the policy of the bloody bill is fastened upon the Dcmocthe Sentinel was to fasten this feature of the Coin pro. mise on tho Democracy of Indiana. If be means the endorsement of this act and ihe obligation of the free States to deliver up fugitives from labor, we plead guilty to the charge. His policy is to repudiate the act. This vvitii tlie bitterness ol a Ciddmgs or a Julian. In an ! article complimenting the views of President Simnsnn i 1 ? he says: Tb u I r ? j-. . . . ..u ..tu uac Mmfii oi, wmcii is so creaitatiie to Vi ,M. llCa" reMdenl Simpson, and to the I Methodist Church, of which he is so worthy a rcprcscnUtlve we ivc bc,ow wjlh t,e $ing,e fmjA the religious sentiment of the country is arrayed against I a measure, its doom is sealed jievoml redemption. "That scimmriii nn neen ontrngcu in ine act nere spoken ol. humanity blushes at the deed, and the slumbering vengeance of a just and righteous God awaits iu projectors." Here is an attempt to array the religious sentiment of ; ,ue county against the law, and to invoke the vengeanee f ' on 'he head of its authors. About the same time he said: "The Lafayette Courier raises the cry to repeal the fugitive slave law. It is hardly necessary, for the bill will be a dead letter in the Statute Bmoks." Here is an open declaration that the people of ludiana will disregard the law and disregard their constitutional obligation to their brcthern of the South. Ha rejoiced in the defeat of long tried and faithful democrats. "Tho Com prom iscis" says he, "at the North arc catching Jesse wherever the people can get a chance at them. Phelps, of Vermont, is thrown overboard like another I Jonah; Dickinson, of New York is repudiated and Gen. I Cass is flunked in Michigan: who goes next?'' The secret prayer of his heart w as that every democrat, from Indiana, who was a compromiser, might go next. That an editor with such feeling should manifest deep inter- ' est in the election of Mr. Julian U what miht lie expected. Wc have no reason to complain, fr by so doing I he but lives up to Lis professions. Wc do not therefore condemn ihe articles in the last number, in support of Mr. Julian, any more than wc wouid an article in the Journal urging the w l.igs to unite and sloe. Mr. Purker. Whilst it would bo inconsistent for the Sentinel to favor the election of Julian, it would be entirely consistent for the Statesman to do so. Wo only complain f tho tamper of the article- Cannot Auditor Ellis diseu-s a question with calmness ami o-d temper? Clothed with official station, cannot be put on the gentleman? Let him urr his fr soil bretln-rn with as much zeal as possible to vote for Julian ami we should not complain, but, liecause we say Mr. Julian is no democrat, he turns round and in his usual felicitous style denounces us as follows: "From this hot-bed of pollution from this lowest sink of degradation from this vortex ol' corruption from this f,.ul ...nl.r I r. ..ollwm -nd i-.liti,.imn..w " ' V i I wT . . T . a . ha . .i m comes Wm. J. Brown and talks about the dishonesty of George W. Julian and his 'abolition colleagues.' Shauio where is thy blush?" This is the language of the man when arguments fail him. Dr. Ellis is a good writer whenever he has a good cause, but this abuse is a specimen of his style in a bad one. Hence in the advocacy of free-soilers aud op. position to the old line national democrats, he is often compelled to resort to this kind of Billingsgate. In thus pronouncing sentence on us, wc have the consolution of knowing that it is only the seiit"ncc of Dr. Eis. B).foie wc aro u üimigntt to the lowest , , r , , . , . , , . depths of degradation be must have the verdict of the people. Hence when he declared that he would "drive Bill Brown out of the State," he over-estimated entirely his authority. Banishment is unknown to our criminal code, and if it was not, Mr. Ellis, by virtue of bis aothority as Auditor of Sta'e would have uo right to psss such a sentence. Dr. Ellis, no doubt, thinks that Mr. Julian is a much better democrat than wc are, or any one who sustains the compromise measures, and he can get the whole herd of Buffalos, that are now lowing and . .... , ,, . aaali: i . j .

Our democracy needs no endorseI wm y ..a , irAA : ment We have been found in every battle from 1S28 up to this timo. The olJ democracy of Indiana will do us justice. The whigs will do us justice in this particular. The political Jackdaws in borrowed feathers cannot injure us. Wc stated some time since that the Statesman was sustained and supported by the free-soil interest in the State. In reply the editor asserted that there were not more than three leading free-soil subscribers on his books. Now ibis depends entirely on who the editor denomi- ! Sentinel, except Mr. Julian, and he received the Statesman. Mr. Pliny Lamb, of Newton, Fountain conntf f sends in the following note, which was addressed to the editors but which they refused to publish : Newtown, Indiana, July I7ih. 1831. Ifaaara. Ellis &. Spann : Gentlemen: I noticed in the Indiana Statesman, of June 11th, 1851, an article denying that yon had mora" than three leading free-soil subscribers on your books. If I am not mistaken you send eleven papers to this place. Seven of the eleven are sent to notorious abolitionists, and three of the others, if not the fourth, are seni to free' soil men or are know n as sneh in this place. If such men as Samuel W. Richrv.
