Opposed to this nobie champion, as the repre-

boy, now links his reputation with the grea'e
and best Of men IN history or on the worlds stage
Whose name is embamed IN the hearts Of 'h
South American patriots. for his eloquent voice
cheered them in their struggle for liberty
Whose memory is cherished by tho chvarou
Greeks, for tho remembrance OF his fervid ap

dariugIy insults the people by attempting to force
a reversal Of their deliberate verdict-lhe man
in short whose end and aim is the advancement o.
himself BY trick and fraud and whose character

cusses. Need We appeal TO the young men oI
Indiana 10 know which of these characters mos,
challenges their admiration and example?
Young Wings OF Indiana, twice have the cohorts
of Martin Van Buren, been driven from bor-
ders. Your aihers and brothers resisted their
advances when the banner Of tho Hero Of the
Hermitage waved over them; and again were
hey signally routed. though fortified by place and
power, when, led by our ancient commander, a nd
on old battle fields, the Hoosier militia, in
IS4O, rose up to do fight with the palace troops.
