Tin: 'WHIG RIFLE." 'Pick your Flint aud try it agttin." EDITED BY T. J. BAUNETT. "All hn il ! the hoar is hastening on, When, vaiuly tried by Slander's name, Culuiubin shall behold her son Unharmed, without a laurel gone, As, from the flames of Babylon, The angel-guarded triad came. Tiie slanderer shall be silent then; Jlia spell shall leave the minds of men, And higher glory wait upon The Western patriot's fjlure fame." rjIILI publishers of the Indiana State Journal, at tha request of the representatives of the Whigt af Indiana, have reoolved to issae from their office a weekly sheet, entitled "THE WHUJ KIFLK," under the Editorial uleriitteinlcnce ol T. J. lUaNETT, Esq., who, (although hi. term of connection with thi. office had expired,) ha. conlented to render his aid to its columns. This sheet will is-

ajg"t" it of Kehruarr, 1641, and continue until tbe

nuie or ins rretiaentiai campaign its size win correspond with 1'iat ol the '-Si-iaiT or '7G," issued from this office during the campaign of 1810. Jhii publication barely dtfrayi iff erpentet . Its sole object is to acquire a sufficient circulation to aid in tha great, campaign on whose borders we have entered. The crisis is a fearful one. The patt, the present, and the future are staked upon it. Upon the resii'l of lil t han; all tha motives which have girded us to action, since the first blow wai struck whoie piralyiing inft jpnees have so fatally fallen upon the nation. If tbe Whig party of the Union had just cause to stand firmly united when the tempest nf Jackgonisiu shook them, as a rsed i shaken by the whirlwind if thpy had incentives to exertion when, under the coldheart i policy of his turressor, the country was garrisoned with corrupt officials, when the sword and the pune locked embrace when an Executive despotism defied the judiciary and created whatsoever legislation it desired for tha furtherance of its own unholy ends if the heart of the people throbbed with indignation at the social aud individual distress with which these rulers deliberately visited them allowing public peculation and entailing private ruin as tha price of their rash political measures, and coolly surveying the wreck, laughed at the people's calamities and daficl their retributive power: if, in this retrospect, there be found incentive, to exertion proportionate to the great tlraggla which, in 1640, elevated the Whig, to station and overthrew the strong-holds of their oppressors, surely dvuble motives to action urge them onward now. For, not alone are tbe lame principle, and tha same men proposed to be restored, but Tuition hitherto shielded by tha rampart, of tha Constitution no longer thu. defended, court the vengeance of the injured. And now we go to the conflict, not as then, of doubtful numbers, but as a party whose strength, already tested, requires bj concentration to accomplish what par- !
