mocrat who has any selfrespect ashamed Of them.
The editors of the State Sentinel will learn, when it
will be perhaps late, that the duty of the organ of
party Is to express the wishes and doctrine Of that
party, instead of trying to force and manufacture pub
lie sentiment We see by their prospectus that Gen.
Lewis Cass is their avorite, he is tie favorte Of
the great of the people of Indiana for the next
President We wish them good speed"
In the estimation of this rerdant sprg of gentlity
an old bunker is who treated Mr., Van Buren, with
good faith and honestly adhered to him to tie end,
for the sake of democratic principles and party nteg-
rity. In our opinion truer definition of sold hun
kerr is one who through life has made party inter-
ess subservient to personal aggrandzement, and who
has ever stood ready to barter principles for Office.
The Beacon knows whether the clique of which it is
the representative, under the latter category
and the people may settle the question of old bunker
ism and its true meaning. -
OF course Dunn will be 'glad" of the re-estabish-
of the 'sOld Democrat During Its former era,
men of his kidney could obtain Office and get their
fingers into the public purse. 1t nata y supposes
that like causes will again produce like elects
As to our pretended "dictating to- instead of fol-
lowing public opinion'-it is sheer humbug and UNI
truth and we are obnoxious" only 10 that class of
politicians who make politics a trade, and the few
that they have been able to deceive and dupc. We
are obnoxious to these men because we have reus-
ed attempt dictate their bidding and for their
benefit. We shall satisfy the people of this in due
time.
In relation to slack of dignity" we will acknow-
ledge our deficiency, taking into account the Cricho-
rlian example of Major John P. Dunn, an full regi-
mentdls which, peradventure, we have not proftted
by as we ought to have DONE We shall certainly
procure red crarats and put ourselves best be-
havior. But refined exemplar ought to make some
allowance, think, for circumstances, and to re-
member that it may sometimes become necessary to
doff dignity to degree when engaged in either coon
skunk skinning. We generally try to suit adj
dress well our dress to the duty in hand, and
when we have plain truths to tell endeavor to use
plain language without mlincing. This may be very
shocking to the otium dignitate of John P Dunn
but it does well enough for common folks.
The second notice in the Beacon, which immedi-
ately follows the one copy above, is the annexed
''THE INDIANA. BLADE.-We see by the last num-
Der of this rery valuable paper that il will soon be
among the things that were, is likely to be the
great county OF Ohio, so soon as Sam leaves Sun
Rise, which will be Immediately, if not sooner. Well
Samuel is going where his great light will have a
chance to shine. We have always thought that if he
only lived in another place than at immediate San
Rise he would certainly make a great show in the
world 1t is great pity that his genius should have
been cramped and squeezed into such puSilan-
inouS little neutral concern the Blade But there
is tide in Offices &c. We trust that when Mr.
Covngton the station organ for the great
democratic party of Indiana, he will lay aside al
that little spleen, and speful disposition he often
shows-more like a Grabbed old woman than nisii-
and feel himself every inch man. You have try
ing and difficult task before you that will need all the
philosophy you master of to keep you up and sus
tain yourself. We pray you may be able so to do
If we should occasionally have to tell you some pair
truths, take them as from friend"
This certainly compares queerly with the first no
tice One would hardly think that the Democracy
to gain much on the of dignity, by the
translation of Mr.. Covngton from Rising Sun to In
dianapols, if his attributes correctly stated by
Dunn, and if he stands in need of the adrice which il
volunteered to him. But must be permitted Il
make great allowance for this 'dignifed' notice o
Mr.. c. by Mr. d. We think we apprehend the tru,
cause of the evident jealousy which rankles in tn,
breast of Dunn. ''He raised the f.st Cas- flag IL
Indiana!' And he thinks, no doubt, that he shoul,
have been the favored parsonage instead of Mr. Gov
ington, who should have been employed to print Mr.
Morrison's Democrat!" That's where the sho,
