be disregarded! And then, what better than
the worst form of anarchy will our boosted
Republic have becomel Revolution and
bloodshed must mark the sequel.
To prevent such calamitous results the
first departure from the obligations of duty
on the part of the representative must, with
out distinction of party, be signally rebuked
by the people: for this is a wrong upon all
parties; and if tolerated to-day by The one.
will be practised tomorrow by the other un-
I'll, in the abnse which must follow, both will
be destroyed.
Another important consideration imposed
upon the Wing party, as a reason for theirre-
assuming the power in Indiana, grows out of
The fact that it will be the duty Of the next
Legislature 10 ~re-apportion the State. From
the course of our adversaries in Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Maine, and, indeed, in almost every
Stale where the control has been in their
hands, connected with their late conduct
here, we have every reason TO know that,
with the power 10 do so, they will so unfair
ly %apportion the State, as to defeat the wish
es of the people in regard TO the complexion
Of the Legislature for many years to come.
The present Apportionment Bill is a mos,
equitable one. 1t was adopted by the Leg
~lslature of 1910, and has never been COM
planned of by the people, Notwithstanding
some leaders among our adversaries are
now, for the first time, seeking to prejudice
its provisions in order to fish up an excuse
for their postponement Of the Senat orial e.
lection. As an evidence of the mo party
character of that bill, il is enough 10 sa that
i was voted for by that prominent "demp-
crat:' ION. T.J. Henley, now in Congress;
and against, by Hon. G. B. Smith, o in
Congress, and an equally prominent Wing.
The Apportionmeat law is of moment e.
nough in itself fully 10 a5o>se the energies
of every lover of the State.
Fellow Wings, the watchword which
sounds from the capital of your Stale is AG-
TON! We exhort you 10 a new organiza-'
ton and to another and determined conflict.
Our brethren, the Union over, are again mar
shalling for the fight with renewed conf
dence and undated ardor. And Indiana
has unusual inducements to assert her whole
strength. Her Wigs hare the pomer.--
They exerted ii TO secure the present Leg
%lsiature. They secured that body, in Joint
ballot, because they thought its security ZEN
dered certain a Wing and anti-Texas repre-
sentative for six years in the Senate of the
United States. BY a fragrant defiance of
the Constitution the will of that Legislature
has been scofned, and the Union looks to
'UuF FUFC IA <Ku5uSrrv1S
outrage. The State can be redeemed from
those who have promised falsely and who
have condemned the Constitution. And The
State must be redeemed! To this end, your
representatives have each pligh'ed faith with
the other TO do battle with a new zeal and
u%ntiring perseverance. That you will sus-
tain us, and cooperate, as one man, with US,
we feel and know.
A sentence Of suggestion TO you, and we
are done this imperfect address. Let us
urge YOU to begin early and TO carry out
faithfully your township organization. Keep
alive your old committees and create new
ones. Above all, suffer no consideration TO
prevent The selection ofyour strongest men,
in every county, as candidates for the Leg
isIaiure. Frown down, as you value success
all pantering of candi dates in exchange for
different Offices. Suffer the use of no one
mans name 10 be practised upon as the can
.didale for the United States Senate. Such
a course will prove destructive, because 1T
is little and selfish, and unworthy a great
party. The Cause first, and men last,
should be the motto. Coalesce with no
new parties; but treat all with respect, and
invite the aid of all who have at heart the
good of the Country. In the words recent
ly spoken by Mr.. CLAY to the Kentucky E.
l%ecfors, remember that-"Tbe Wings are
deliberately convinced OF the truth and wis
dom of the measures which they have es-
poused. 1t seems, therefore, that they
should persevere in contending for them and
that, adhering 10 their separate and distinct
organization, they should treat all who have
the good of their country in view, with res
pect and sympathy, aud invite their cooper
alton in securing the patriotic objects which
ii has been their aim and purpose TO accom-
pIish." By an early and peTsevering effort,
we regard the complexion of the next Gen.
eral Assembly as undoubtedly Wing, and
the yindication of our Stale from the recent
outrag &c, as certain.
