SLAVE AND FREE STATES.
Modern Democracy requires but FORTY THOUSAND inhabitants to make r-Slave State, but it takes NINETY-THREE THOUSAND to make a Free State; ergo, one Pro-slavery man is as good as two FreeState men and one-third! long as God allows the vital current to flow through my veins, I will never, never, NEVER, by word or thought, by mind or will, aid in admitting one rood of free territory to the everlasting curse of human bondage.-— Henry Clay.

DAVID SNYDER, ESQ.
We wish it distinctly understood that anything we have said of this gentleman during the present canvass, was intended to refer to his political course alone. We have no desire to cast reflections on any man’s private character, and shall avoid doing so in this case. It is the custom arriong many editors of all parties, during seasons of high political excitement, to publish statements without being overscrupulouS as to their correctness, if by that means they can gain a temporary advantage over their opponents. This is a pernicious custom, and should be frowned down by all good citizens. But as we came here with the intention of making Jasper county our home for life, and desiring to maintain a good reputation among men, we resolved from the first to shape our course in such a manner as to compell alTobscrving men, of all parties, when they, became well acquainted with us, to give the Gazette credit for truth, if for nothing else. Therefore, we have stated through the paper nothing but what we conscientiously believed to be the truth. Sometimes we have had to say hard things of individuals, but it has been done “more in sorrow than in anger,” for facts we will publish, let friends or foes fall thereby. The constant i readers of the Gazette from the first number | will bear us out in this. We now propose to show up somcTsf Mr. j Snyder’s inconsistencies as a politician, aind! we make the above remarks that the public may know that we do it from no improper motive; in fact, were Mr. Snyder the Republican candidate, and Mr. Parker the 1 Democratic, wc would take the same course as the present, and urge the defeat of Mr. Snyder, believing that it would be better to ; be defeated than to elect a man to the Leg-j islature unfit for the post. We do not con- 1 ; sidcr that Mr. Snyder is deficient in taleikt, i but we do believe that he has no sound or fixed political principles, and is ready to j change those that he lias at any moment for | the sake of popularity or personal advancement. We understand that Mr. Snyder, in a speech at Brook, and probably has at every place where he has spoken since, declared that he was an Anti-Leeompton Degiocrait, and in favor of the principles advocated by Douglas. He also denounced Bright arid Fitch, the Washington* Union and the Slate Sentinel. In order show what his principles j are, if any he really has, we publish the filling facts: When Congress met last winter, and the great battle for freedom was fought, with the Republicans and Douglas and his follow!ers on the one side, and the Administration!, our two bogus Senators and the whole Prof slavery party on the other side, Mr. Snyder was then what was termed a Douglas man. We then honored him for his position, and believed him to be honest in his political principles. He remained firm in those principles until after the Bth of January State Convention, when lie suddenly changed, and became lound in his laudations ot the Administration, even writing a letter to the Stale Sentinel to evince his “National Democracy”, and gain a State reputation as one of the faithful to the tottering fortunes] of James Buchanan. The Sentinel, the same paper which lie now denounces, in publishing his letter, indorsed him as a “sterling Democrat.” To show liis position after the Convention, we make the following extract from, the letter referred to, which was written in j answer one received by him from Austin 4 11. Brown, of Indianapolis, requesting the 1 use .of his name to he signed to the call for the Douglas Convention,, which was held on the 23d of February last. Mr. Snyder’s let- i ter is dated “Rensselaer, Ind., January 21, 1858,” and the first paragraph is as follows: j ‘‘Dear Sir: Your favor of the 18th inst.,j inclosing a circular to the ‘Democracy of; Indiana,’ calling a State Mass Convention, signed by yourself and others, came duly to hand. You ask me to concur in the proposed call, and also to send you the names of such others as may choose to sign it. I am not willing to such a call, nor have I been able to find any Democrat in this vicinity who is willing to do so.” It is known that this Convention was called for the express purpose Of explaining a resolution in regard to submitting Constitutions, which the Douglas men claim to have been mutilated in its published proceedings-. Of this resolution we will speak again further along in this article. Mr. Snyder said in his letter in regard to this resolution; “Does the fact that the popular sovereignty resolution, last passed by the Convention, ! is misconstrued, misinterpreted, and differently published, create the; necessity for calling a Convention to say wh’at we meant'— to define the meaning of unmistakable language!—to explain that which needs no explanation?” Mr. Snyder admits that the resolution was “differently published,” and then triumphantly asks if an explanation is needed of “unmistakable language.” Further along he says: “Approving the whole action of the Convention, "t"\vi 11 he excused, humble as s jiiy name is, from appending it to your call fora Mass Convention.” Now let us see what a part that action was, which he so unequivoea approved. The 7th resolution says that opposition to the Dred Scott decision leads “naturally and inevitably to the odious doctrine oi negro I equality.” Yet he on the stump upholds I Douglas, and Douglas in effect repudiates
that decision, by telling the people of a Territory, how they can avoid it by passing laws, while a Territory, unfriendly to the institution. The Bth resolution approves the manner ot the election of Bright and -Fitch, and then goes on to resolve “that Jesse D. Bright and Graham N. Fitcln the Senators elect, arc. worthy the high position in which they were unanimously placed by their party.” Mr. Bright said in a speech in Congress: “So strong, Mr. President, is my conviction of the viciousness of the principle of submitting to a direct Vote of the people the propriety of the enactment or rejection of laws, that, for-one, I am prepared to extend the same objection? to the submission of entire Constitutions to the same tribunal! * * * * Independent of other objections to the submission of entire Constitutions directly to the people, how an intelligent vote re given by those who -attempt it!” Mr. Fitcli said in Congress that so strong was his attachment to the Lecompton Constitution, that he only desired to retain his seat in the Senate long enough to vote for the admission of Kansas under it! And yet Mr. Snyder, approving as ho docs the. entire, action of the Convention, indorsing Bright and Fitch among other things,, declares on the stump that lie is an Anti-Leconipton ; Democrat! “Defining the meaning of unj mistakahle language” with a vengeance! The 10th resolution reads Alius: “Resolved, That Jumps Buchanan was the first choice of the Democracy of Indiana fur the Chief Magistracy of this Republic at the nominating Conveivtian hi June, 1856, and | of the people of the State at the ballot-box in the ensuing November, and nothing which \ he has done since his elevation to the high poI sition which he now occupies has abated or ; diminished our confidence in his ability, integrity. patriotism and statesmanlike quaiij ties, and we cordially approve and indorse f his Administration.” Mr. Snyder, although he once declared I that nothing which tile President “has done j since his elevation has abated or diminished : his,confidence in his ability, integrity, pai triotism and statesmanlike qualities,” said j at Brook that The. President had been right all his life until now, and that it would be ungrateful to desert him in his old-age, when it was evident that lie could live but a little while longer. The correct inference to be drawn from this is, that Mr. Snyder thinks it would he better for the fair plains.of Kan- , sas to he blighted with the curse ofjslavery, , than tiie ‘breast of respectable bid gentleman in the white house should he racked with the pangs of beholding the ingratitude and desertion of his friends. We deeply sympathize with Mr Buchanan—can almost shed tears over his fallen estate. He is in a depjornble predicament, and we are sorry for it* but not to the extent Mr. Snyder is. He beseeches the people with rueful face, outstretched arms, and imploring voice, not to desert the President now, who-.already has one foot in the g ave. His appeals for pity are almost irresistible, and- his hearers are almost constrained to leave Kansas to her fate. According to the proceedings of the Bth of January Convention, as published in the Jasper Banner oi the 14th of January, one week before the date of Mr. Snyder’s letter, the following resolutioif* was offered by Mr Wallace, of Crawfordsville: “Resolved, That we are still in favor of the great principle of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and that by a practical application of that the people of a State or of a Territory should be as they are unalienably, ] invested with the right of ratifying or rejecting. aj. the biillot-box, any Constitution that Hi ay lie framed for their governmpnt; and that now ami hereafter no Territory should bo admitted irito the Union, as- a State, without a fair expression of the will.of its people being first had upon the Constitution accompanying the application lor admission.” | The resolution was referred to the Committee on Resolutions, and it was finally || adopted by the Convention in the following j altered form, according to the report pubI fished in the Banner: “ Resolved, That we are still in favor of the great doctrine of the Kansas-Nebraska hill, and that by a practical application of that doctrine the people of a State or of a Territory are vested with,the right of ratifying or rejecting nt the ballot-box any Constitution that may bo formed for their government; and hereafter no Territory should be admitted into the Union, ns a State, without a fair expression of the will of the people being first had upon the Constitution accompanying the application for admission. It will be readily observed by the reader that the Convention indorsed the course of Mr. Buchanan, and Mr Buchanan had iccommended to Congress to admit Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution. To bo sure Mr. Wallace, an AntiLecompton Democrat, introduced a resolution denouncing the scheme, and providing that ‘‘now and hereafter” no State shall bo admitted without fii;st submitting her Constitution to the approval or rejection of the people; hut the Committee? on Resolutjions altered it so as to read “hereafter” only shall Constitutions be submitted; and in the case of Kansas,;whose Constitution was made by Border Ruffians from Missouri it was thought expedient to. let the President have his own way. We know it is said by some that both resolutions have the same meaning, arid apply with] equal force to Kansas; but if so, why was the original one, offered hv Mr. Wallace, changed? It was for a purpose, and that purpose was to cheat the honest Democrats of Indiana into an indorsement of the Lecompton swindle, and to screen Bright and Fitch Irom the just «
odium attached to them lor their infamous course on this question. Mr. Snyder approved of this then, whatever he says now; and if he thinks differently now, we have nio assurance,judging from his past political wjeathercockism, that he will remain as he is (long. The saying of Paul, , “all tilings to aft men,” fits him q-fosdy and neater than, ever did a new coat Id his hack-
Astounding- Developments! FISAU as* X< > B 2 E I'EBPBTUiVTED «J> •s'ihsn coi .M v r Freemen! SI and lb Your Bights, anil Guard the Ballot-Box froth Pollution! Citizens of Jasper county, we know what we say, and wi IE be able to prove it, should the infamous scheme bo carried into effect, that it is the intention of wire-workers throughout the State to defeat Colfax by frauds-, and they confidently extect to do it! They know that- Colfax will get every vote cast -for him two years ago. and gain largely on thalt vote, so they resort to frauds to defeat him-, I’art of the programme is this: One thousund imported voters are to bo placed on the Pittsburg and Chicago Railroad, scattered through La porto, Porter and Lake counties, and three hundred ditchers are to be run into Pulaski and Jasper counties. The following are the figures they expect to make: Laporte, 250 majority, for Walker; Portir, 50,0 for-Walker; Lake, 300 for Colfax; they dare not cut down his majority more than 400 in Lake, for the frauds would be too glaring; Pulaski is to gain 100 for Walker, and Jasper to hold her own at all events, A citizen of Rensselaer has written a letter to Indianapolis for one hundred and fifty ditchers, to he placed at work on swamp land ditclies in this county before the election! The letter will be forthcoming at the proper time. The first installment of ditchers got off (they cars at Mcdaryville a few days ago; but they went on a spree, some got sick, andj they all went back home again. Citizens of Jasper and Pulaski! if these contemplated frauds are attempted to be carried into effect, PROTECT THE BALLOT-BOX, AT ALL HAZARDS! Your fathers blcli an-d died- for your liberties, and yo would be worse than slaves to permit these fraud;;. USE THE SAME ARGUMENT US.ED ax urMtia-; rirjs.a, : If necessary; and the author of that letter must not be forgotten!
A CORRUPTION FUND AVOWED AND JUSTIFIED.
We must confess that we were surprised at the bold and daring audacity of the Washington Union (the organ of the Administration) of the Idtli of August last, in the following article, in which a tax upon officeholders for the pin-nose of raising a corruption fund, or as it calls it, a fund‘-to advance the interest of the IDemin-ratie party in its struggle with the 'opposition-,” is unblushingly justified. We were prepared for great depths of infamy iu al party that lor two years ddfended, justified ajid enforced by the army of the United Stakes the Border-Ruffian laws upon the people of Kansas—that approved of ther great frauds upon the, ballotbox in Kansas, apd removed (!overnors Walker and Stanton for exposing and attempting to thwart Ithese frauds—that has appointed and kept in office murderers, gamblers and villains—(that has attempted to force upon a free people an infamous Proslavery Constitution, which they lothed and abhorred, after ljad indignantly rejected it by over 10,000 majority-:—a party that has made, approves and Isustaitis the infamous Dred Scott decision, slavery in all the Territories of the United States, and denies the right 'and the, power of the people or of Congress to remove this blighting curse while in a Territorial state. We say, we were prepared for great depths of infamy ill the loaders of this Democratic party; but we had nipt supposed that they had become so hardened and utterly debased as to openly justify the raising of a corruption fund, by a tax upon the office-holders ‘ appointed by the present Administration, but such is tlig fact, tte.the follow mg article proves: THE TAX O.X OFEtCIAI.s: Wo sec it reported, wi- do not cure upon what authority, that a tax is He vied upoii the persons employed in the Govcjnment service, and ttni payment thereof exact;!]. Wefarc quite ignorant of ’.lie authority union wliicli this payment is demanded, or tile purposes to which- it is applied when. received. Wet; trust, however, that whatever may lie thus collected may he. wisely and economically applied to Menace the interests of the democratic parly in its skrnc/yle with the opposition. ft is said that from one-quarter to one-half of one percent, oil the sulijiries of officials is thus exacted. Now, without 1 knowing anything of the alleged tax, and with, no belief ill its existence, as a general thing kve have just this to say on the subject: If there S--' a person in the public service who does not veilntarily contribute the amount, at least , two dollars and a half a year , on each thousand dollars of ibis salary, to support the cause of the democracy, he should he dismissed at oner, and his place fitted lit/ one lehn is patriotic and liberal enough to i>oujil.K me cantrihutian. H r be-lieve-the cause to justify %ts support.; and. those who' re] use to aiil iu that patriotic work should he the. last to compl-ain , ij they a.i e deprived of the special fdtiors of those, in power. . We. would recommend no system of espionage, ino mean etlorls tt> hunt out the miserable scaveniers who devote i-'ouk on five nanus ok indojiEMe at I heir desks, and the balance of their time to utpaults upon the Domoe-
j racy; but that forbearance which keeps.them in office a moment after their treachery, is known, is sadly misplaced. It is a notorious fact,, that more than half (he patronage of this Government is bestowed upon such unworthy and untrustworthy men. It has been ascertained that not only onefourth and one-halt per cent, is levied upon Old-I fine office-holders, but that as high as two per cent, per month has been leviers upon the salaries o! the appointees of the present Administration (or the purpose of creating an ample corruption fund to appropriate upon elections of the present year. . This assessment upon salarie* of office-holders and clerks, <&c., of the Administration will create, a fund of over one million of dollars. Flips is doubt h'ss the fund that has recently started Old-Line mushroom papers in every county seat in the Ninth Congressional District lor the. purpose of operating upon our elections: and this is the fund that is-to import “horJsj'of illegal voters” into thisdistrict for the purpose of beating Colfax and electing certain men to the Legislature; ; and these illegally imported voters have already commenced coining in. Citizens of Jasper j and Pulaski: are you prepared for these tilings? Are you prepared to see the ballotbox, the Paladium of our liberties, corrupted and stricken down by these hireling mercenaries? Are you prepared to have men elected over you to offices who are abhorrent ; to a large majority,? If not , prepare for action—vigorous, determined action can alone ; defeat these machinations. Defend and protect the. ballot-box llouq pollution as you would your homes and your, lives. Organ ize everywhere, and determine that no-man shall vote who is hot a known resident citizen among you.
COLFAX AND WALKER.
As wc frequently hear it said that Walk- : er did not decline to meet Colfax on the i stump, ’wo republish tiie following state- I incut, signed by Walker and Colfax, and their respective friends. Walker, after refusing to meet Colfax in any satisfactory, mariner, alleging as a reason bad health, is ! now following right round after Col fax', abusmg him most indecently, and making as many and ns long speeches as his opponent, 1 notwithstanding the state of his health. But in order to screen their doughty champion, the Democrats of'the Ninth District send all such “one-horse” guiis as Colonel Mrv, who .said, in speaking of the Democracy of Porter county, that he was going to “dig around ’em, and' dung ’em,” and Wm. B. Beach, ; i wild goes round tie district repeating the •same speech Governor Hammond delivered at this place, to meet Colfax, and challenge him to debate, in order to speak to. 1 is ftirge crowds, failing to get respectable-sized nudienccsof their o\in. Colfax properly pays' no attention to them, at which his enemies raise howls of rage arnl disappointment. Read the following propositions: La forte, Itid., July, !?2, 1858. Colonel Walker and Mr. Colfax, having met together with mutual friends for purposes of consultation in regard to the Congressional canvass in the Ninth District,' there were present with-Mr. C. Messrs. G. ! B. Roberts and W. 11. 11. Whitehead, and with Colonel W. Messrs. John Eason and , John 11. Travel. Air. Colfax, being invited hv Colonel Walker to make such nrdpos-.ilions as lie saw ; fit, ppnffer'red to him for acceptance cither one of the following: ' 1. To make a joint canvass of the district in a thorough manner, as has been done in 1 previous campaigns. 2. For each jto canvass the country appointments separately, and to unite in ai joint canvass of the county seats. 3. For each to canvass the whole district separately. To which Mr. Walker objected: 1. Because a canvass of the district by j townships would hi- inconsistent with the condition of his health, which is not good, I 2. Because ft seemed to iiim improper that 1 the tcanvqss should he made in any manner j other than jointly by the candidates. Mr- Walker modified the propositions of | Mr. Colfax as follows: That the canvass he made jointly, and that it be confined to the county seats of the several counties of tiie Congressional District. To which Mr. Colfax responded— That such a canvass, so limited in its extent, would not be satisfactory, to the people of the district, and that, therefore, he could not assent to it. Whereupon it was agreed that the respective propositions should be reduced to writing, and signed by the conferees; and the meeting adjourned. .1. C. Walker, Schuyler Colfax, Geo. B. Roberts, W. If. If. Whitehead, Eason, John B. Travel. It will he seen from the above that the ■ only proposition of Colonel Walker was to \ confine Mr. Colfax to one sjicech in each j county. The upshot of tiie whole matter is j that Colonel Walker is afraid to meet Col- ! fax on the stump, and endeavored to prevent Colfax meeting the people. Air. Editor: Tt was stated in the Gazette a week or two since that there are two com-; ets visible in the northern hemisphere at the present time—one in the east at four in the morning, and the other in the w/st in the evening. This is a mistake; therjb is hut one comet to he seen at present. That is in the constellation Bootes with the tail toward Benetnasch, the large star in the end ot the Dipper-handle, and the head or starend tovyard the sun, which is now in the constellation Libra. It, is the high northern latitude of the comet ewhich has led to the supposition that there were two. J.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
1 lie signs of the times indicate that the people will rise in their might on the second I uesday in October, and hurl from*power so utter oblivion those false Representatives who have attempted to nationalize slavery, and to fasten it upon the people of Kansas, in the face of the known and often-expressed i will of four-fifths of the voters of that TerI ritory. A great revolution has been going | on throughout the country, and it will he ' expressed at the ballot-box in thunder tones* astonished and huckstering politicians, who will learn, to their sorrow and shame | that the voice of this people trill he heard \ when a great wrong is being perpetrated, | bapked up by the President and his hundred millions of patronage. The blood of the patriots of .’76 still courses through the veins ; of the American people; they now love free- ] do in as well as ever, and the public pulse ; will leap as of oh! when their rights are in- . j vaded by usurpers in office, be they Kings ;or Presidents. -The watch-word— Liis ely—sounds as sweetly in their ears to-day as it [did in the days of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson. Indiana vvilf nobly redeem herself in the j present contest. We will hazard our reputation as a close observer of passing events on this’assertion. Every Republican Con- ! gressmau from this State will be returned, i In addition to this, the opposition will elect ; Davis in the Eighth District, Hovey in the First, and Wilson in the Third, (English’s District.) We also believe that Porter will carry the -f ndianapolis District, and Hackle man the Fourth. We will gain, we honestly believe, Jive members of Congress in Indiana tliis tall. This will be glory enough j for one year, and by 1860 Democracy will ( he placed hopelessly in the minority. Illinois will undoubtedly scud an unbroken ! Anti-Lecompton delegation to Congress. I The .signs of the times-indicate that not one | triend of tiie Administration will be sent to Congress from that State. In Ohio, which is alvvav’s right when the test comes, tlie prospects are equally ilatterI ing. Of course, every district which elected ] a Republican two years ago will do so again ■ this year; and Gurley will; we believe, be*' | elected in the First, Day in the Second. ( larke in the Highland, and <-'use in the-Co I unibus' District. There may be gains in- ; ether districts in that State, but we do not ieel sufficient ly posted to express, an opinj ion. The other Western States will do i their duty. The people are wide awake to the import- - ] anew ot electing good men to office in this crisis, and they will, do it —and irrespective ol i party, w hich is right and patriotic. We j hope that every man, whatever party lie fe- ; longs to. will closely scrutinize every name | on his ticket, and if he finds rule he believes j not to be holiest arid capable, scratch him. ; Everything indicates that this course w ill be pursued by the people next October.
