Views of tho Candidates for State Senator, on thc Temperance Question. The following is the letter of the Committee ol" the Temperance League addressed to the candidates for the Senate, and their replies thereto. DkarSir: The undersigned business committee of the Marion County Temperance League, desiring to know whether the members of the League will be at liberty, at the ensuing election, to support you for State Senator, respectfully request to know whether they can do so according to the requisitions of the enclosed pledge? That is, do you favor the Temperance Reformation? and will you, ii elected, actively favor Legislative Enactment for suppressing the making, rectifying, and selling intoxicating Liquor as a beverage? Respectfully, CHARLES SEC REST, ) JAMES BLARE, CALVIN FLETCHER, Cam. C. J. HAND, C. G. DOWNEY, j REPLY OF LEVI L. TODD. Indianapolis, March 30, 1S52. Gentlemen: Your letter, making inquiry as to my course, if elected to the Senate, wrs received by me on veaterday. In rep y. I wish to say to you, and through you to the voters of the county of Marion, that, from my comparative seclusion as a farmer, I have been in a good degree unconnected with the discussions of questions growing out of the Temperance agitation, and have never been a member of any Temperance Society, unless, indeed, my Church membership shall be considered as constituting me one. As a citizen, I am a temperate man in my habits and inclination. I am in favor of such laws as will most effectually protect the morals of tho community, and guard the youth of the country from the great evils of intemperance. No person should bo permitted to inflict upon the public or an individual without being e; and this rule should include all classes of ;t their occupation be what itnay. , gentlemen, with the views I entertain of the subsisting between the people and their reprei, I wilt use my best etforts to carry out the rsand wishes of the majority. This I hold to be the duty of the Representative under all circumstances, and should not be eithei evaded or disregarded. Very respectfully, LEVI L. TODD. Charles Sscrest, Esq., and others of the Committee. REPLY of MR. COBURN. Inlianapolis, March 29, 1S52. GentlkxeN: Yo.ir letter of inquiry as to my course ia Um State Senate, if elected, on the Temperance question was yesterday received. You ask two questions, namely: 1st. "D) you favor the temperance reformation?7' To this I answer, I do. 2d. " Will yon, if elected, favor legislative enactment for suppressing the making, rectifying, aad selling intoxicating liquor as a beverage?" To this I aoswci , that I am in favor of effective legislation to prevent the making, selling, and using of intoxicating liquor as a beverage j that I am, in a word, in favor of the surest plan that will remove the evils of intemperance from the community. Respectfully yours. JOHN COBCRN. Messrs. Charles Secrest, J?s. Blake, Calvin Fletcher, C. J. Hand, C. G. Downey. A Chapter on Dodging. Once upon a time a gentleman was elected to the Legislature from Marion county, and was defeated for another office at the next election because he missed a certain vote ; and though he came in and asked to record his vote before the result was announced, it was assert'd that he dodged, and, therefore, ought to be defeated. t -he same election, in which this defeat took place, a . - . g man, distinguished f?r '- .bilities and good standn , was elected to the Legi.il.. 're. As he was elected at the same election, be was tii'.u.ed as an anti dodger, ia fact , after he bad served a session, he published a card, in which, it may be said, 'jOtt he defined his position in regard to dodging politicians. Here it is: Ixt-iA.vApous, June 3, 1851. Mr. Devries: Having been frequently solicited to become a candidate lot Representative, I feel called up on to statu puoiiciy mat it is not ray uesire or aesign to do so; that while I am grateful for the confidence of the people, and proud of the partiality that awards an approval to my public acts, I would much prefer to see another man in the field. Last year I consented to a canvass, with tue hope that I might be instrumental in selecting r Senator unskilled in tho sciences of dodging and masterly inactivity. Whether that hope was reab ixed, the people know. Confident in the triumph of a well selected ticket, rest Rtsured that whatever it may be, it shall have my support. Truly, fcc., JOHN COBURN. One weald naturally suppose that a gentleman who , would pen a card like the above would not dodge. But, upon examining the Jonrnal of the House of of 1850 '51. we find that be failed to vote TWENTY. EIGHT TLMLS, when the ayes and noes were taken. as will be seen by referring to the following pa of that Journal: 99, 293 , 290, 290, 291, 293,293,294, or.- i or.-, im 4ii . wit kki tktn kt-i cno .no , - mu, m, jvi, iw, 0, j,o, wo, ow, 1, 616, 617, 18, 43, 44, 5, 08, 712, 726.

has missed two vote on one page we have repealed the number of the page, so that both may be seen. In some oases two votes have been taken on one page wherein he

missed one and did not the other. One of the questions on which he failed to vote was a motion to lay on the table the Temperance bill and amendments. Suppose the people of Marion county should conclude that it was just as important to have a State Senator that would not dodge, as a United States Senator free from that sin, where would Mr. Coburn be in this contest? A Change Came o'er the Spirit of his Dream. There u a certain paper published at Vincennes. which is unscrupulous in its abuse of Gov. Wright. It was not always so, but we account for the change in the views ef the editor, from the fact that he is now fighting for the spoils. Hear his language a few months ago. in noticing the Governor's Message: Gov. Wright's Annual Message. This document appears in our columns to.day, and, on the whole, we mu.it say t'.at wo are highly pleased with it, and that it l'.-l I - . . 1 1. l1 v i ' M'H ..." ,.i,r fitttA is ciuite crsunauie iu iuc c.uu.d 1 r -J I'ho nresent manner oi assessing anu conecinig iuc BT Z . 1I C revenue of the State is certainly unequal, and therefore unjust; and it is to be honed that tho suggestions made to the L?fjlature, in this respect, will lead to the adop.

The Governor gives a glowing picture of the progress of our internal improvements expressing his approval of the aubjeet. The Slate University, and the several charitable institutions unuer tne patrona.e of the State, are in very prosperous circumstances. We believe the sentiments put forth by the Governor upon the subject of the compromise and tho Union, to be those of the whole people of the State, and we thank him for expressing Iii opinion so candidly. We forbear , giving a gen ral synopsis, as our readers should peruse it and form tacir own opinions. Thonirh it did emanate from an Exe utive with whom we differ upon many po- : litical question, the recommendations it contains, in tho main, meet our approval.

Such, without distinction ol party, wo know to be the voice, the united voice ol Indiana We subjoin the extract from the address above alluded to, and call the special attention of the reader to the , fact that it was delivered before the passage of the Com- ; promise measures: I trust you will inculcate in the minds of tho young i i ii L-.u r , . i .: I for the union of these States.

I have no patience to sit down and hear men talk about this of that section of the Union, or of the peculiar frame work of society in this or that State, in opposition to those of other States. This continnally speaking of Northern interest, Southern interest, Northern popula tion, Southern population, is an evil that demands n rem-j edv Tiiis Union is not composed of a few cities in the , ouv. u'" " , c ... it . r North or South; the people of this Union consist ofi something else than iron mills and wooden clocks in the North, or of rice and cotton bales in the South.

The time has now arrived when, the influeneo of the West, in her conservative spirit, should be felt in the settlement ol all our national questions. It is high time that she should say to the North and to the South,

" Thus far shalt thou go, but no farther." From our death of Gen. Taylor claims which appertain quite as position, intercourse, character of pursuits, variety of) mUch to Mr. Webster, Mr. Crittenden, and Mr. Corwin, productions, our numbers, and strong attachment to the (s to hiri.self aad that, if nominated, he could not poll Union, we will necessarily, in some measure, mingle the Northern Whig vote, and would entail defeat upon with every portion of our great confederacy. If we are the Whig party. The Republic repudiates the idea that true to ourselves, to our country, to our high destiny, 1 l,e would be beaten from seventy to one hundred thouand'te the cause of civil and religious iiberty, we sand votes in this State, while any other Whig could not may be able, acting in the spirit of our fathers, to be carry it; and yet the Editor of the Republic well knows mainly instrumental in effecting amicable adjustments , that such is the plain truth. We repeat that the Repnbof all those agitating questions which, at different times, i c is just as well satisfied of the truth of our declaration will necessarily arise in a government extending over as we are. He k ;ows it to be true: and yet, such is the such a vast territory, and embracino, so great a variety character of the relations between that press and the of interests. We cannot belong to the South we can- administration, such the want of independence, which

not belons to the North : we will know n-iither in the , .r . . ' 1 1 i ' . . . 1 adjustment of any question that threatens to disturb the ; peace and harmony or the nation. Our high mission is that of acting wisely and justly, in the spirit of c -ncili-ation and concession towards all parts of the nation, that thereby we may be instrumental, at all times, in pre serving the peace and harmony of the Union. We cannot wholly eradicate from the hearts of our people sec tional names and partialities; they are older, in portions of our country, than the Constitution; there were southern colonies and northern colonies before its adoption. The sons of Site England have borne and loved that di$ tinctive .time for more than one hundred and fifty years ; in the sunny Sooth, the name of Southron has been equally cherished and loved. Shall not the yonng and mighty West, too, have a distinctive name, which her htl ll 1 ! sons may learn to love and honor f Let name of Peace Makers! " , Let us not be alarmed at the word compromise. It is the richest word in the English language, in its adaptation to the business of government or individuals. Ultraism never yields or gives; it knows no compromise, and uses no words but those of insolence and dictation The idea of no compromise is only another name for I war. Every family, individual, and nation, must necessarily concede many things to eaeh other, which is for the mutual benefit of all, and here is the true secret of domestic peace and happiness. And why is not the same principle equally applicable to a family of States or oi nations? Compromise, compromise '. This great principle was with onr fathers in 1787, with us in 1820 and 1133, has been thc watchword of our heretofore unparallelled success, and is the talisman of our future peace and tranquility. Differing as we do in soil, climate and productions habits, manners and social relations in . local and sectional interests we can only be one people upon the principle of conees-ion and conciliation. May it be yours to cherish and sustain this sentiment in every young mind that may seek instruction within these walls, and may the principle of concession, concili ation and compromise, be tanght bv yon, as equally applicable to ' nations, states and individuals!

TL'KKDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, 185.

Editorial Correspondence. Washington, City, March 21, 1852. Yesterday terminated the regular debate on the deficiency bill, in an able and ingenious del once of the administration, by Mr. Biooks of N. Y. One hour is allowed the chairman of the committee on ways and means to answer. Mr. Houston, of Alabama, or Mr. Dunhatr.. of Indiana, will answer Brooks, who speaks not for the Whigs but for the Administration. The ordinary expenses of the Government for the next year will reach fifty live millions. A terrible and alarming expenditure in time of peace. The Whigs made a great outcry about the expenditure of thirty-seven millions, which included the expenses of the Florida war, under the administration of Mr. Van Buren. They preach economy and practice extravagance ; and the long columns of figures on the debit side will give them a terrible account to settle with the neonle in the comincr contest.

Our readers aro no doubt anxious to know who will be the Democratic nominee for President, and it would certainly give me great pleasure to inform them, but not being inspired with the gift of prophecy, I frankly confess that I am unable to answer this question which is so often propounded. Cass will, unquestionably, be much the strongest man in the Convention. Like Mr. Van Suren in 1344, he has the old organization, and will receive a majority of tho votes in Convention, and will secure thc nomination if his election can be rendered secure. His friends feel conidenr of tlii-. ns i: m said hc will get the vote of the Union Whips at the South, which will compensate fjr the ! of New York and Pennsylvania. On the other hand, :iiuny of the mos I influential Democrats here are in I'nvor of Ju.Ige Douglas, because all admit that hi nomination would us iact. amount to an election. He would receive 300 electoral votes; but he is young, only about fortv vears of age, and can afford w ' -

Thc nomination of either Cast or Buchanan would leave the i .. r n i t reauiv uuuwuu., .... ...c ..u.iia.io,. . .,, .0, Marcy, Dickinson, or anv fayr man against whom there is no prejudice,, would amount to a certainty. General Lane is a great favor no with member, of C.n -s. He is attending strictiy and faithfully to his duties, and has A'on golden opinions for his high and bouorablc bearing, but bf toe Presidency, candor compels me to say, that, as a first choice candidate, ho lias no strength out of Indiana. . , . . , In case of a failure to nominate citlier Cass, Douglas, or Bnchanan, h.- would stand a good chance among the , outsiders. In this category may be classed Marcy, Dick inson, Wool, Stockton, Dallas, Colb, Butler, Houston, and Boyd, who will all come in at thc scramble, in the failure to nominate one of the three prominent candidates named. Among this last list I think that Generul Lane would stand an equal if not the best chance. It must not be inferred fron what I rftÄe said, that there is any bitterness of feeling among thc competitors or1 e i i. r i i . . their friends- It is a free and harmonious contel and 1 l" nomination win oc tue signal gun lor union and suecess. W. J. B. fCFThc New York Courier and Enquirer rejoins as lollowslo Mr. Clay's late manifesto in favor of Mr. Fillinore ttS the Whig candidate for the Presidency We commend it to the special consideration of all those Whig papers that are just now so deeply engrossed with "Deinocralic discords'' that they have no time to look after li family jars'' in their owu household: " Now, we insist that Mr. Fillmore has no claim to the noriination by the Whig party, except what arises out of his administration of the eovernment since the ... ft - ... . . . '. will ever attacn to tne press at tne capital that he retends to doubt our declaration. The Albany State Register, another member of the harmonious Whig family, thus adds its mite to tho concert: "It is a little remarkable, that while the National Whigs, without an exception, declare their hearty willingness to support Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Webster, Gen. Scott, or nny other true Whig who may receive, the nomination of the Whig National Convention for tho Presidency, yet many of the abolition whigs declare uncompromising hostility to Mr. Fillmore, and indicate gratuitously, and in advance, their determination to support no man. no matter how he may be presented lor the suflraSe? of the Wn,g Party, who is a friend to tbe Conv promise measures ot tne last congress, or in any other way obnoxious to them and their narrow, sectional .;. " views. The PhiladelDhia Su.n. the leading Fillmore naner in - M l Pennsylvania, speaks thus on the subject of the Presi dency : Party does itself justice when it re-nominates ' tried" men for high office, and the people who elected Taylor ai.d Fillmore will be unjust to themselves if they fail to re-elect one who has forced respect from all parties, and silenced the tongue and pen of factious opposition We have much respect for Daniel Webster, though we-con sider Gen. Scott as a weak demagogue, who trims his sail to catch every breeze of popular favor. Out of the immediate sphere of the influence of Senator Seward and his foreign allies. Gen. Scott has no strength, and though the transcendent abilities of Webster arc every wnere respected, r.e nas no popular position, and can revcr be a favorite with thc masses." What beautiful harmony these organs make ! and what ' brilliant prospects they give of the success of the Whig candidate, whether Fillmore, Scott, or Webster ! CSome genius, who calls himself ' Amerieus," is writing for the Journal a series of dull articles upon thc taiiff. He seems to be trying to persuade the neonle lhe any mtans left t0 ,bem f raping bankruptcy , ... . heggnry, and ruin, is to manufacture and consume jvery thing within ourselves, neither exporting nor importing either agricultural or manufactured products in short, . 1 1" 1 .1 T a we should adopt the commercial policy of the Ja panese, only making our exelusiveness a little more ri- j gtu than that people have made theirs. Will " Amerieus" read thc following statement, which is below rather t!ian above the reality, and then inform ; his readers how many manufactories would have to be ' j established to furnish a market Tor the agricultural products of Indiana alone; and, if a sullicient number of manufactories were established, what would be done : with the articles manufactured. Then, if he has time, we should like to k-'iow what number of manufactories would be sufficient to furnish a market for the agricultural products of the whole Union, and what would be done with the produce of the manufactories, if such a number of them was in existence. Would the people not then be f called upon to furnish a market for manufactures? And where would such a market bo found? The statement is by Rev. Henry Ward Beccher, than I whom no man is better informed as to the agricultural 1 .. es,.. v capacities of our State: j " If a million of people shoub annually pour into thc State of Indiana, for fifteen years, the soil would sustain them. If not a kernel of grain were raised in another State of the Union, Indiana, if pat to its full capacity, could easily supply every one." Ret. Abel C. Thomas, u-id.-lv knim-n .n 1.1,.

Will the people of Indiana, at thc next election, place in power thc Party that held the reins of government from 1831 to 1843, who during that time brought the State to tho verge of bankruptey and ruin? Will tho people agai.i place that party in power, after having tested Democrats, and Democratic principles? Their flagrant abuse of power and expenditure of the people's money, during this period, has not a parallel in the history of any State. What was the condition of the finances of the State in '43, when tho Democracy camo into power?

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, IH5.

The Campaign Opened. It will be seen by the letter of our Rushviiie correspondent, that Gov. Wright an.l Mr. McCarty have already commenced the campaign, which is to close with ,be almost unanimous re-election of the former. It seems that Mr. McCarty does not thank his friends j for what he calls the "clap-trap" of dubbing him "a plain honest farmer," and avows, what every man, woman, and child in this community well knows, that he is not a practical farmer. What humbugging expedient wi the Whigs retort to next, now that their candidate . . i . has put an end to tuis one? 1 Mr. McCarty. it appears, endorsed Gov. Wright's administration as an " excellent one." lhis, of course, as an honest man, he was bound to do, but we imagine ..-,. ..... hc w' "nJ ,l an uP1,,il business to attempt to persuade the people to displace an " excellent" administration and aR "excellent" Governor, merely for the purpose of 1 ' " " . r nrupleasing a few corrupt Whig ooliticians. 1 to. It will also be seen that Mr. McCarty, while he doubt - ed the justico of tho Compromise measures, was for careo me jus'.ico oi tna t.ompromte measures . was lor car- ; tuem out KO ,on as u reraained the ,aw of thc , . . ,aou mU ,ll0USht the Fugitive Slave law " might be modified and made more humane.''

tority. Our correspondent is a gentleman of high standing and character, and his communica'ion may be relied on as strictly correct in every particular. ETNothing more plainly evinces the utter desperation nf TflTkL. ,i, ,k: . .kv. iuL ..in" aoi in. in men cacr uisrrt ru aaiiuic iuc . , J control ot eveiy movement, no matter what its object, out of the operations ef which they think they can make a few votes. Some scheming politician, who falsely signs himself A Friend of Temperance," publishes, in yesterday's Journal, a silly communication, under the alarming head of " The Sentinel in favor of Intemperance," in which hc feebly attempts to prove, by stating a falsehood, that the head of his communication is not a lie. The paragraph to which he refers, and which appeared in our paper, was taken from one of our exchanges just as it was printed in thc Sentinel, and the Editor neither said 'agreed," nor anything else, though if he had said so. it would have been no evidence that he was in favor of intemperance. Such a charge is too ridiculous and contemptible to merit serious notice, for we are practically as good a temperance roan, if not better, than thc anonymous scribbler of the Journal, and we only refer toil to show the desperation and hopelessness of the Whig party, who are ledoced to such means of making capital. Wc have, for somo time, been aware that the Whig leaders have been anxiouslv watching the temperance movement, which has recently commenced in this citv, . ' , . 1 , . "l with a view to nse it to their own advantage in the com- j ing elections, but they have just now begun to make that purpose evident. Their candidate for Senator, since his nomination, has, we are credibly informed, signed not only the pledge of thc " Social Order," but also the plede of the Temperance League," binding himself . . CA re. ' not to vote, at anytime hereafter, for State, county, township, town, or city officers, for any man who is not an active temperance man, and who does not actively favor legislative enactment to prohibit thc manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors." Men who favor the temperance cause, from principle and without selfish motives, cannot bo engaged in a nobler work, bnt when we see candidates who have never been actively ensagfd in the cause, just on the eve of the election in which they are interested, become, all at once, such Simon pure temperance men, there is, to say the least, strong reasons to doubt the honesty of their sudden Conversion. ILTThe Administration now proclaims that the proposed Japanese expedition, under the command of Commodore Perry, is principally with a v.ew of making a hydrographical survey ef the coast of Japan, and the East India Archipelago generally an object nevr before attempted by this government;" and that "incidentally every effort will be made amicably to induce the government of Japan to open at least one of its ports for tho purpose of friendly commercial relations." Mr. Fillmore has discovered that his grand fiilibustering project of ''exploring'" Japan by an armjd force, and of effecting a landing at Jeddo at all hazards.'' would tot go down with the American people; be therefore backs out ns gracefully as possible and divests the expedition of all warlike purposes. This is the most sensible thin" he eon!.! tin in the matter.

0Gcn. Scott has b;en a Whig alt his lile, nJ no one , tne ?ncces8 of either candidate, will give an expression nbts his integrity. Who wains pledges fr( m such a ; of thfl yj;e of the wli Slliiilliii it is Whig or Domoan? Jndtana Journal. cratic. The Whig -.lärty, cunningly waited till t ie It is for this very reasir. that he has been a Whig all I Democratic party had selected their candidate, and then

bis life that the people wish to have an expression of' opinion from Gen. Scott. As the only principle recog-1 nised by the Whigs, in reference to measures, is expe- j diency," it is impossible to tell, for three months at a ' time, what any one of them is in favor of, or to what j measures tbe party, as a party, ia committed. If Gen. Scott and his friends be honest, they will not shrink from an avowal of their favorite measures, but will proclaim ( to the people what they note deem "expedient." We have not the slightest expectation, Inwevrr, that they j will do any such thing. E7The Journal says that the extract from the South Bend Register, complimentary to Gov. Wright, which we published on Friday morning, was publish! in the Regi-ter " several vears aeo." It was written and pub lished not quite one year ago, but this is as near the truth as the Journal can come. Our readers will see "by a reference to thc article, that instead of being "a defence against the action of the Governor's political friends," as the Journal falsely stalest it is a general commendation of Governor Wright's official conduct. IFy-The United Uri-lhren nf Christ hrve rcentlv erected a Brick Church on the corner of Ohio and New Jersey streets, 40 by 50 feet, two stories high, with basement. This Society have a well organized Church, a settled minister, and a large Sunday School. This church has been built under the personal superintendence of Mr. W. Evans, and without any pecuniary assistance from the congregation. Such enterprise and liberality is highly commendable. Mr. E. will, without doubt, be remunerated, in time, by the members of the Chnrch, for his efforts in giring (hem a house of worship.

For the Daily Indiaaa Mate dentine!. Rlmivixle, Maieh 29th. 1S32. Editor of the Sentinel: 1 si oliura. and political meetings held here on Saturday weie well at tended. Tho Conn House Was filled K& our best citizens from all parts of the countv Col. McCarty having declined the. request of Gov. Wright that the Colonel shooM speak first, the Governor treated the farmers to a familiar, practical talk of about an hour. Tho earnest, impressive style in which he talked evinced a thorough knowledge ol the art of farming in all its branches, as well as his siicere and deep interest in the prosperity and progress ol the farming interest. Gov. Wright, since '..Is election, has

evinced a concern for the prosperity ot the farmers ol ' Indiana that certainly entities him to their gratitude He has been mainlv instrumental in pnitinc on foot a svstem of imnrovenient that cannot fail In milt Indi. aa the first agricultural State in the Union: and farmers who heard his sneeeu on Saturday can now aiiDreci ale tu0 sliame.u' njusUce that has been done h.m by the statements of interested parties that lits boasted knowlof farniic? was aU specmatIW ftnu obimerical ; Col.

Proved ofll the Governor had said. Ap- ; .r W . . . . After a short int ission the agricultural meeting was transformed into a political one. Col. McCariv ! again refusing to speak first. Gov. Wright spoke thirty minutes. He confined himsll r. incinailv to State ooliey. He wanted to know the grounds upon which hc was unworthy to be centinued in the gubernatorial chair. It was charged by Whig editors that this was an extravagant Locofoeo admitistration, incioaed the people's taxes, and should be put down. Ia opposition to these statements, the Governor showed thc people by the figures of the State Auditor, that thc ordinary expenses of the State Government ha 1 been mnen less under his administration of the last two years than it had under any other for thc last fourteen years. The Governor alluded to the new policy of thc Whig Contention in regard to the Compromise Measures in a manner that mnst have sent the thrill of shame to the hearts of those nresrnt who nretended to lie lumlers of tlm Whin party and had favored that cause. Altogether, he mad such a speech as will tell with the honest masses of all parties. He gave thc people something t talc bome with them, and to reflect about. He made such an impression as honest truths, honestly uttered, ever will make among honest men. and all the brick-bat committecs, together with the thousand and one other applian ces of the leaders of whijjeorv to whip their men into tne traces, will not le sullicient y potent to remove that impression, and make tnose W sions made on Saturday, of thei .T, ',l .r ' ' ""V ablest man, by la r. and when caed on to point cut ud nut of it1 be objected to wit! no reason lor m-carding a ma At'iirt 'rtiwl r.- - .(..nl in In m h-' K faithfulness to was acknowlrupplant bins, of honest, ony Rush con my j even b (he inan ; ' s j No indeed thc die is east in ill swerving nrm, and Jo.

But be of course made poor sped before the people of a county that gave a majority of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven for that article. But I think be is fishing for the nomination of the Free-soil Convention. It is but a natural conclusion from his position Upon the Compromise Measures and the negro clause. The Whigs expect success through the aid of Abolition and Catholic votes. Of the latter they will fail the former, like birds in the Spring, will choose thnr mates; but the Whin having nothing positive in its character being a rty I of nenter or euncuch, the isuue of such an amalgamation will not be disastrous or dangerous to Democracy. The National Whigs of Indiana will not always be led by Abolitionists. They are aware that men are judged by the company they keep. I only hope that Col. McCarty may find it convenient to visit every county in the State, and make such speeches as he made here.
