endanger the perpetuity of the Union, (as would also a continuation of the present Pierce Administration,} yet we aio firmly of the opinion that the election of Motion and Palter, (men of unimpeachable character and integrity,) is much to be j. re felted, f<»r Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, over the notorious profligates, Willard and Hammond. — Above we have candidly given the platform upon which we stand. ' It is so plain that all may understand it... We have our own opinions—and wo respect those who differ with its, and admit their right to think and act just as they please in the premises, not doubting their honesty and sincerity in advocating American principles. For the credit and honor of the Stale, F. J- Waldo, as an humble citizen, desires the overwhelming defeat of Willard and Hammond, and if the contest is between them, and the so-called "Republican” ticket, our preference will be given to the latter, without endorsing the platform of political principles upon which they stand.*! We can support the men, ns the least of two evils, while we "spit upon the platform;*' and if our oldline friends cati get a "crumb ol comfort” from Ibis fact, they are welcome to it.

JEST The Louisville Journal asks two brief questions for those Democrats who eulogise (he repeal • of tlio Missouri com - promise. First, did no* the Democratic party in their. National Convention of 1852, solemnly pledge themselves never to give the loos (.countenance to the agitation of slavery, under any eircumatanccs? Secondly, did any human being think or dream in the followiugyear that the Missouri compromise could bo repealed by Congress wthout tho agitation of slavery? If ;any Democratic organ Will answer these questions, the answer will no doubt meet with dim consideration.
