It is bold, frank i nil ne i"urni ueepiy .... , i Read and and independent, characteristic of the man. ponder well what he says in relation to the slavery question. We hope to hear nothing more aiiout interpolating the Democratic creed.. The Issue. A series of articles have made their appearance in the Daily Lafayette Courier, in relation to the Compromise measures, and the policy of the Democratic party in Indiana in reference to these measures, which demand 1 Irora us some notice ; for the reason, that they foresba- I dow the policy of a small fragment of the Democratic party. The Courier is edited by W. R. Ellis, a brother and former partner of the Auditor of State, and editor of the Iadiana Statesman These articles, no doubt, speak the views and sentiments of the Auditor, who is shaping his course for a re-nomination for tbc office he now holds. In the controversy between the friends of Gov. Wright and Hon. Jesse D. Bright, we have taken no part, notwithstanding the Ellis clique have set us down as the enemy of the Governor. Wc stated that Gov. W right had always been the friend of the Compromise measures We did so on the authority of the Governor himself, and on the evidence of bis written letters and printed speech1U t tmi- . I es, end h.s message. Now, Ellis denies our authority to make any such declaration, and says-. " We are no nearer 1 acquiescence in the F stone test' of Democr ....... I r,m 1 j ' I ' V neu. .'I III null! Hit kJV li.iuci. X.'U i......l.asi 'Abolitionist,' ' Fanatic,' ' Frecsoiler,' 'Away with him,' ' - . . . C - . 1 ' Hang him,' and the like, that can bo crowded into thc ( Sentinel and Madisonian, c.unot Irighten Joe Wright, or any other man of sense, from the MM of our Democratic sires." What he means by frightening Joe Wright from the faith of our Dtmocrattc sires, we arc unable lo divine. If Gov. Wright is in favor of the Compromise, as he has always asserted, why the necessity of talking about frightening him from the Democratic faith? Does he mean to say that Gov. Wright is to be frightened by an endorsement of the Constitutional justice and necessity of the Fugitive Slave Law? We doubt his authority to make any such assertion. His object, we presume, is to build up a platform for the Democratic party of Indiana, and toplace Gov. Wright, and the nominees of the February Convention, on that platform a platform which will be broad enough to include the Demings, the Stcvenses, the Julians, and the Hulls, and thereby eondemn and repudiate all who have supported the Compromise measures. This platform isj foreshadowed in the following oxtract: " Thi AiJ' stment Adjusted. We have seen nothing of late that comes nearer our views of the manner of disposing of the Adjustment measures, by the Demoratio party, than the suggestions of a correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from Saint Louis. H. . -.1.1 WT t li . ii i.l is plan is that the North shall acknowledge the right I of the Slaveholders to recover their slaves, after a fair ; trial, with all the necessary safeguards against kidnap- ' ping treemen; tb.it the South shall agree to amend the Fugitive law, in every respect in which it is liable to sorions objection, whether on account of its unconstitutionality, the unnecessary hardships inflicted on the fugitive, or its infringements on thc liberties of irce ciiizc . aad further, that they should assent to a thnitafioa clause to iho Fugitive law, so that on the same principle by which an ordinary debt is outlawed, a slave going unclaimed six, eight or ten years, shall be free. " That the North are willing to accede to the South their right to recover their slaves, after a fair trial, there can be no dispute. And if the South would submit to a modification of the Fugitive law, by which its most objaetionable features would be changed, a Union platform could be adopted, upon which the Democracy of the Union could unite, with a hearty good will, and triumphantly elect any man who might be the nominee of thc National Democratic Convention. Such a course strikes us as far preferable to fiat marked ont by certain dictators, who would rather glory in the defeat of the Domoerntic party, than submit to the alteration of the Compromises, even to the crossing of a ' t ' or thc the dotting of an i."' The above paragraph appears in thc Cornier of the 3d inst. On the following day thc Editor again refers to this subject and calls attention to the fact that an attempt will be made by the Democratic Convention to endorse these measures. That our readers may sec his object, we copy them entire. I xt Ear ola tion. We havo already said as much on the subject of adding to the Democratic creed, the compromise measures, as a proper regard for the tastes of oar readers would seem to dictate. But as thc time is fast approaching when the two parties, Democratic and Whig, will be called upon to tike some action on the subject, and as there is a manifest determination on the part of a portion of the Democratic press to force the Democratic Convention to endorse in toto to the fullest extent, the to-called compromise measures, including the Fugitive Sla.-e Law, we shall be pirdoncd for reverting to the subject again. There aro various reasons why the Democratic party ought not to take such a course. And First There is nothing of a party nature in the compromise measures. They are merely an act of Congress, subject to amendment or repeal at any time, when the good of the country may demand it. Stcond There could no good come of it, but evidently much evil. Without such an interpolation the entire party could be rallied upon tho unusually largo ticket that will be formed, thus securing complete triumph. TAir' There are thousands of Democrats, good and true, who never can be made to endorse thc Fugitive Slave Law, as a Democratic measure Democrats who have ilnnp n a mnnh urvin in I Urn rank. a. an .ik... And it would be a flagrant wrong to diive such vcter! aas from the ranks. I We again repeat, that if these were tho is dated opin- . -e -..u lUe.u unnouceu; bat they foreshadow the policy of a small branch of the Democratio rxrty, beaded by Dr. E. W. H. Ellis, the ! ' xt n n i - ... I preaeat Auditor of State, who are determined to cot.trol, if possible, the approaching Democratic ConvenIn relation to this policy, we wish now clearly and unequivocally to define our position and the position of the Sentinel. We mean neither to deceive or be deceived. We will support the nominees of that Convention, proridel they are sound and consistent Dcmoorats, aad opposed to the further agitation of the slavery question, aad in favor of adhering to the compromise measures, and opposed to the repeal of the Fugitive Slavo Law; and the man on that ticket who refuses to show bis hand, or whose position is the least doubtful, will be defeated. If the Convention follow the noble example of Pennsylvania, and other Northern States,' by fully these measures in the series of resolutions may be adopted, all the candidates accepting the i tion, will by tbat act place themselves on the platform of the Democratic party, and farther exposi. of their views will be unnecessary; bat if thc Contbe non oommit'.al policy of Ellis h. Co., the people will know the views of their candidates, and a reference to past acts will not satisfy them.

It is sometimes necessary to talk plain, and always right to act aith boldness. That time has now come. We shall urge the people to send delegates to the Democratic Convention who will not sell themselves to the Julian and Ellis faction thnt will not disgrace the State by consenting to a set of milk-and-water, unmeaning resolutions, and who bove all will see that the ticket is composed of sound, able and conastent Democrats.

Lane in reply said, that never in the varied history of his life had he felt more embarrassment than on the present occasion. His heart was too full to give utterance to the feelings and sentiments inspired by the scenes around him. The kind and complimentary manner in which the Governor of the State had been pleased to speak of his services, and the assurance that these services were held in high estimation by his follow-citi-zens of Indiana, but added another to the many evidences of friendship, confidence a d regtrd he had heretofore received from them, the recollection of which he should cherish to the last hour of his existence. He felt

that he should never he able to raauite the disinterested

kindes th people of Indiana, for the steady and uuiiorm support ne nau receivea at tneir nanus in me 1 varjom .ttlls he had been C!W to fi Th : made to bia services in the Halls of Legislation, and the ' mimwe part he hail acted on several questions, of vita ,, ,J ' . e ' , ,h . . . many recollections of a most agreeable character, and though a detail of the events connecting themselves with position sno now occupied, and he joined witn the uovernor and those around him in rejoicing at the bright fu- ; tore winch awaits her in her rapid and onward giowth. j He felt more than compensated for what little be might have done, as a Legislator, to produce this result, the evidences of prosperity which he everywhere witnessed j since his return to the State. He said the Governor attributed much to him, which he felt he did not merit. He had, however, been the artiticcr of his own fortunes. Thrown, at an earlv aire, 1 on his resources, without friends and without means, exccpt of his owii creation, huhad been compelled to struz-' gle on, unaided by advantages enjoyed by the wealthy j and opulent. But he thanked heaven that his lot had been cast in a land of liberty in the Mississippi valley ; a field where energy, industry and enterprise, are almost ' certain to meet with a rich reward Happy and contented with his lot, he was quite willing to have remained a private citizen, at his humble residence, on the banks of the Ohio. He had no political aspirations. When, in 1346, the tocsin of war sounded on the bunks of the Rio Grande, obeying tbc natural impulses of his heart, he enrolled himself as a private soldier, to contribute his mite to the defence of his conntry. J5y the kindness and partiality of the trallant sons of Indiana many of whom are here to-dav he was elect-' ed as Colonel of a regiment ; but before he assumed the command, he was, by the Executive of the nation, apappoinlcd a Brigadier General, unsolicited on his part Of bis services in that command, the Governor, he 1 said, had spoken in a manner which he did not feci that , he merited.
