True it is, we elected an Administration man in
this Congressional District. But this only proves
that we ,ciH reward political faith, and strict ad
hercnce to republican principles, without dstinc

demasosue who will dare to barter away the dele

tents Of his private purse. Hon. john Test, the
member elected from this district, has long held a

From this brief and imperfect sketch Of the state
Of political affairs, yon may draw your own in
Ierences, frcm those assertions Of vapoTng polit

make you believe that " Indiana miHgo in mass
for The adn,inistration The only fair conclusion,
however, which, in my hamble opinion can be
drawn from the present aspect ct affairs is, that
those reports, SO derogatory to the unspotted cha
racter of our State, emanated from the same prln-
ciples, and will share the same tate, host OF
kindred fabrications that have for ever stamped
with inslorious renown, the infamous names OF
BlNNS, HAMMOND, and others.
But their forgery Ike fabrcations liter not the
fact-the enlishted ycomanry Of INDIANA will
do Justice to the high republican character they
have so desey, eddy gained. We stand firm as the
Andes in our purpose. We support .andraac Tack
son, not for his splendid military achieve
meuts--but because he is decided advocate Of
republican principles; and because we knowby bis
official life, that he is the ardent supporter Of IN
ternai improvements, lone Manufactures, and 4
Just and equitable Tariff And We dcnounce John

his constituents" Ncr can we be persuaded to cal
