than by his proposition Our plan would be 10 let each
State hold convention for the purpose OF appointing

conye nton let the of each State be taken, as TO
time and place; or if some States fail TO hold conven
tons let the Democratic members of the respective
Legislatures determine the wishes OF their cons!i-

voice of the whole people could be ascertoned. But
members of Congress have the determining OF the

Tic Hon Danid keLso and Tic Wigs Of Indiana

Tic Hon Dagiel keiSo and The Hhigs Of Indiana.
1t is not often that interfere in the local pot-
cal questions of individual States those in which
simple individual character is concerned; but there -
something in The treatment of Daniel keso by the
Wings of Indiana, which enl,sts our sympatbies in
favor of Mr. X and fires indignation at his per
secutors The most natural reflection and question,
when looking At the affair, ,s, what has been the
crime committed by Mr. kelso, that his former po-
li,ical friends should, by public and solemn resou
ton, denouDce him a traitor, and renounce all
connection with him. political and personal? As far
as we understand the conduct OF MIR. kelso, 1t was
simply this The last election in Indiana close
one between the Democrats and Coons-each party,
for certain local and general purposes were anxious
to have majority in The Legislature. Upon ques-
ton were more pledges demanded from the different
candidates than to the individual they would vote
for for the Senate of the u s. Mr.. Kelso and ano-
ther Wing were candidates in Switzerland county for
the Stale Senate; and hir. keso was pledged, if
elected, to support Edward A flanagan for the u.
S. Senate, if instructed by the majority of his
sttuents. Those instructions were given, and, in
obedience 10 his pledge, he voted for Mr. II. The
number oil those signing the instructions to him TO
vote for Mr. Fl. exceeded the Wing instructors by
$50 or 200 In obeying the will Of the majority, he
was not only fulfilling solemn contract entered into
1t the time OF the election, but doing what SIM
PLY his duty at all times. If there was any thing
criminal in the conduct of ar. Kelso, it must have
been in giving the pledge not certainly in obeying
that voice he had bound himself in the most solemn
manner not TO disregard. If Mr. Kelso committed
my political crime, it was in conserving TO support
a Democrat under any consideratons-the pledge
once gwen, The compromise made as a man Of no.
nor he was bound to execute it. II was in obedi.
ence to pledges of the same character that several
Democrats in the Kentucky Legislature this very
Winter voted for J. J. Crit,enden for the IT, S. Sc.
nate, in opposition to Col Johnson. We confess,
ourselves that we are opposed to all compromises
all temposing for The sake of office, but We consl-
dered, as we'll as the Wing party in Kentucky, that
those pledges were sacred and should be Observed
We will notice bu. one point in this
most diagracefu Transaction and then leave the &C
tors in IT TO reap the fruits of the iniamy they have
sown. One Dr.. Lewis, it seems, presided over the
mutiny, which did Mr.. keso the honor Of condemn.
ing bis conduct DR.. Lewis, at the time Of his cleo
zion, pledged himself most soemny TO vote for How.
