Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1843-01-03
JOAN Ewing.

We perceive that the buzzlEg, splene,ic and
acrimonious demagogue, who halls as the - young
man eloquent from Knox, complains, in late let.
ter To the Nncennes Sun, that the reports which
have appeared IN PRINT since the session opened,
have been unjust aud inaccurate in relation TO his
" opinions delivered in the Senate We have
observed that sone difficulty has been incurred by
the Reporter for the Ind ana Journal in relation 10
Mr.. Ewings Dog tao, and, after several attempts
to report with particular minuteness Mr. Ewing
himself has undertaken enlighten the public upon
that very important and interesting subject. But
so lar as the Stale Sentinel is concerned, we have
only to say that his baderdash bathcrmahoney has
occupied more space heretofore than we shall permit
1t to do hereafter. Ills Dog law on the ,apis
on Thursday again, and though it afforded much
fun TO the Senate and lobbies. we have taken the
liberty TO erpunSe the account of those proceedings
from our report. The space IN our columns is too
valuable to be occupied To any very great extent in
that way aud even it it were not, we conceive that
the character which the Legislature should bear.
would render 1t imperative upon us to abbreviate"
the sPt"rSes of the young man eloquent to the
smallest compass consistent with fair report of the
proceedings. The truth 10 that this person is
monpmGuiac on the subject of =" Leg station" as we'll

Ii is painfully amusing to spectator IN the Senate
to witness the gloating avIdIty with which he prcks
up his ears and twInkies his eyes at every thing
which seems likely to give him u chance to annoy
the Senate and provoke laughter from the Hobbies
1t seems quite Indifferent TO hun which side Of a
question hc takes, so he get n chance To cxer-
else his lnveteratc volubty; indeed he hardly ev.
er fails TO talk both IN favor of and against every
subject upon which he has opportunity To scod a;
all. For INSTANCE. on Wednesday when Mr. Davis's
resolution under consideration for the reduction
OF fees and salaries the " old scold abused lis snp-
porters as demagogues whose object was merely 10
humbug the people and after venting his spleen IN
this way for halt an hour, finally jumped Jim Crow
advocated the proposed measure, and voted for the
resolution himself! This IS the course he pursues
on nearly every subject lie is laughed at BY every
body; but that Is no restraint to his madness If
any thing, Il but increases he frequency and yo-
lence of tho poroXysms. These farces are daily re-
peated. to the great delay of the public business
