INDIANA.
This State, once vacating in her politics. has, for
some years past, been firmly united in principle
any State in the Union During the late presidential
canvass, she made gallant fight, and glori-
Gus victory. In her recent State and congressional
elections, she has triumphed, securing eight out of
ten members of Congress, by popular democratic
majority of 6,3S4, according to the Official returns,)
and the election of democratic United States Sena-
tor-showing that by proper organization Indiana
will again cast another federal vote TO pre-
Iserye this boon, which has been by much la
Dor and exertion, our friends be united upon
principle: and if united there is danger of d.
yiding as to men. Let principles be inscribed by the
editors of the republican journals at the head of their
columns, and not, as yet, the name of any man. In
the coming senatorial election, hope to dem
ocrat elected by democrats TO do this, let The claims
of all the aspirants be submitted to a convention, and
let the seal of condemnation be placed upon the head
of such democrats adopt the wing rule ''dvide
and conquer" This remark will apply with equal
force other States which elect United States Sena-
tors this winter. 1t not intention TO read a
lecture to our republican friends in Indiana on the
subject of their duty; but seeing number of names
inserted in the Sentinel" have felt it duty
to caution friends against the destroying effects of
division. In Indiana, well other States, we
| hope to see candidates selected according to the
usages Of the party. If that be adopted,
ators having the confidence Of the whole democracy
and of the administration will be chosen. We can
not close this article without expressing deep re-
greet that attempt is being made to establish
another democratic paper, with presidential name
already floating at the mast head, at Indianapolis.
We are certain good can grow out of this mea-
sure. The Messrs. Chapman, editors of the 'Sentl-
nel commenced the publication of that able and eff
6cent paper when the State seemed almost hopelessy
federal. Il has been faithful and efficient "Senti-
NEIL and, under its auspices the State has wheeled
into the democratic line and the establishment of a
new paper, upon such principle, must and will have
the effect Of dividing party and dstracting our
friends. The prospectus for the new paper, to be
STYLED the ''Indiana Democrat" is before 1t
proposes to support the administration Of President
| Polk and advocate the doctrines of the Baltimore
convention The name of Lewis Cass, of Michigan,
will be placed the head of its columns, candI-
date for the presidency. This, in humble judg-
ment, is wrong, and will give to 1t the name Of a
.sCass,, instead of democratic paper, and tend to
create ealousies and divisions in the party, without
beneitting the distinguished statesman they design
to aid We have repeatedly said that now is not the
time to agltate the question Of the succession We
90 further, and say at once frankly, that better
scheme could be devised inure the prospects of any
candidate, than to bring him forward at so early q
period. We made this remark TO the friend of ano-
ther distinguished gentleman the other day And we
repeat 1t here-much as we respect and admire Gen.
Cass 1t is too early in the day to bring him any
man forward The present administration has just
comucnced The great principles on which 1t was
elected have not yet been fully carried out. Let
establish them, before enter into any struggles for
the succession. We are prepared to use this Ian
guage towards the friends of any man, (be he who
he may,) who is brought thus early into the field
