We see it stated that Hon. R. W. TH0MPS0Ndesigns topublish his master! speech delivered recently at Terre Haute against the abolition principles of the so ca'llad "Republican Party.". We are glad to hear it. It should have a wide ciceulation. If every voter in the State could read that speech it would work wonders. Coming from an old lineWhig it would have its effect upon the honest members of the late Whig party We wish our friends would make an effort to have Col. Thompson repeat his speech in our city. If he would do so we will guarrantee him as large an audience as ever listened to an orator io
