alton was made wthou, my knowledge con
sent. and YOU will confer a favor upon ME by say
ing that an. not eandidate, and viii not be at
the ensuing election. And, sIli take 'h's OPP
portunity Of saying to the 'tMany citizens" by

July 9Th, 1913.
0rrWe give place 10 the above with pleasure;
because it is IN the RICH, spirit, and characieris
tic Of a good Wing, Mr.. Burgess IS. siren
uous exertion has been made by our political OPP
ponents TO defeat the regular nomination by d.
vision, bringing out without their consent sever
ial members of the Wing party, as candidates tor
The L-glsa lure. Bat glad to see this CON
dhct promptly met, and the firm d. determination
manites ed 10y The Wings of ''old Wayne" TO sus-
tain their principles by electIns servants who are
known to be devoted friends 10 those principles
md measures which it is belle, ed can alone re
store the crippled and almost crushed powers OF
the people, and of the Slate. The shameful le-
=
sion of Wing member by The loco party, and
The Introduction Of a man of their own kind with
out shadow Of an honest claim to seat IN the
House, and the election of a locofoco to the Sen
ate OF the United States by the foulest treachery
and unmittgaed perfidy, is still fresh IN the mem
Dry of old Wayne, of the empire county; and well
may she long remember it, for Of her own
Senators acted distinguished part in that drama
which dlsgraced his constituents, and placed IN
power man who Is ultra IN his opposition to the
principles of a majority of the people OF lGdIana
The ensuing session Of the legislature Will be one
Of importance-s several officers Of state, the Au
ditor, Treasurer, &c. then TO be elected, and
1t is importan. to the good government Of The af
fairs Of the state that these Offices should be con
fded to true and faithful men--to men who will
not prostitute the patronage OF their station TO
base political mauoeuveriug Wayne county has
deep interest IN the administration ot the finan
cial affairs OF the state, and the manner III which
he offices of Treasurer and Auditor Of State have
been conducted by the present incnEbcnts, is
reason sufficient to induce the Wings 10 endeayor
to retain them in The hands Of worthy and com
pc tent men, and TO keep out loco peculators.
The approac ching election has another impor.
lant feature-a Governor is to be elected The
opposing party is well drilled, and active exer-
lions have been made Throughout the State during
the naturalization of foreigners and it is boosted
bat some ihousa nd votes have thus been obtained
Oar friend, DR.. DEM1NG, the abolition candidate,
s also in tho field, using great exertIons 10 com
;entraie upon himself the votes of his political
rieuds. What that vote may be we have no
means of giving even a 'crude outline" Of guess.
We are convinced however, that it will require
Ill the strength Of the Wing party TO succeed in
he re election of Gov. Bigger. Not one vote
lhouid be lost, and every Wing should rene ber
hat the sins Of omission are sometimes as great
IS these of commission. The whg Who remains
sent from the polls on the day of the election
will be guilty of the crime Of an omission to per
orm a high and sacred duty. One solitary vote
nay decide the fate, the political fate Of Indiana
or years 1t may fix upon US a Governor, who
,udiousy avoids giving US his principles, or any
easonabe and honorable plan By which the State
nay be relieved from her present Indebtedness,
nd who is opposed to receiving from the general
government any assistance whatever in The Ii, |
luidation of the State debt. Although the fede-
al government is deeply indebted 20 the States
or money she has received for lands justly be-
opging TO the States, and which has been squan-
ered and lavished upon political favorites in car
wing on slave hunting war in Florida; YET Mr..
yhitcomb would not receive one cent Of the pro T
eeds OF the public Lands though i, were rendered
o the State.
Mr. Whitcomb now contends that The proceeds /
4 the public lands are necessary for rerenue and
hat they should be applied exclusively 10 that
biect and that the deficiency which will exist
nj ght be obtained by impost duties. Well. IN the
senate OF Indiana, Mond ~ January 27,ls3i, |,
his same Mr.. Whitcomb made long and elabo
ate repor, on the subject of the public lands
The following is the second paragraph of that
eport, and it may be found on page 29o of the
Journal of the Senate for the session of '33 and
