lNDIANA-THE PREss.-We exceedingly regret to
proposition to establish new democratic PAPER
at indianapolis, along side of the Sentinel" 1t is
truth that Is to be depored that one democratic pa
per at that point Is not too well paronzed and he
yer, until the Messrs. Chapman, with their indomit
able industry and TACT made the experiment success
full could paper be made TO stand. They have now
very fair patronage, and in the main their paper is
acceptable to the democracy proper of the State.
The democrats ought, Therefore, to frown upon any
attempt to put 1t down by means of another estab-
lishmeiit.
1t is truth which no man, acquainted with the
politicians and politics Of Indiana can deny, that
there noc IS and ever has been, few macopterits,
mere hdngers-on to the democratic party in Indiana,
whose ambition is, and erer has been to CONTROL
the whole democracy of the State. And nothing has
kept the leaders Of this clique in the traces but the
ultimate hope of acquiring the ability to WELD the
balance of power and force the alternative of submis-
sion on the part of the hundred to one who do not
harnonze in sentiment with them in regard TO pro-
inineht nseh
The present they regard as their time to strike be-
ing that the democratic majority is small and they
tenacious of Its maintenance, much sacrifice of
feeling and opinion, it is well understood would be
made BY the unsuspecting to perpetuate the hard
earned aurels of the party which yet green from
the field OF glorious battle.
Let the experiment be tried, and our word for it,
the democracy will rue the day that they ever gave
the slightest countenance the establishment
We know il will have some ardent friends and we
are aware that honest and well disposed democrats
will be sedced into its support by them, and the
sequence viii be rupture in the party equal to its
overthrow in the State-whiggery will again FREEDOM
mate and the labor of twenty years will be lost-al
to appease the political hankering Of few small FRY
politicians and others of greater calbre but of doubt
FIJI political integrity
The new paper proposes to advocate the claims Of
Gen. Cass to the Presidency, as the successor of Mr.
Polk. This same knot Of politicians prematurely
hosted the Cass flag antecedent the sitting of the
Baltimore Convention, against the advice Of better
democrats and wiser heads and attempted to foist hin
upon the people against their inclination. In thi:
they failed, every of ordinary sagacity clearly
foresaw and predicted. They attempted to get hi:
name into, and through the democratic State Conven
ton, held at indianapolis, in 1S43, and signally fail
ed in that They subsequently attempted TO get up
convention during the session of the legislature, by
way of giving him prominence in the State tC
which the people did not believe him entitled. This
| too, was poor abortion. .
II must be obvious to every one conversant with
political movements that it is extremely bad polio,
to run up the flag of any man for the succession a
this early day of the new administration. 1t cannot
but force others to the imprudent course, cal
forth discussion, and lead to acerbity of feeling be
tween political associates and ultimately terminals
in family Jar that may not easily be reconciled.

The Ohio Statesman Of Sept /, makes the follow
ing comments on the subject
The PREsIDENcY.-A new democratic paper is t
be established at Indianapolis for the purpose of ad
vocating the nomination of General CAss the mex
democratic candidate for the Presidency. This is We
ry unwise. We had thought that the subject of tn
next Presidency was not to be agtaed for the present
and that we were 10 make use of the power alread
in hands to order and fix the policy of the country
The worst enemies of General CAss cannot wish 70
any thing different from the course which some of hi
indiscteet friends seem determined to pursue. Tn
movement Is pointedly condemned by the conductor
of several papers known to be strongly attached t
| the Michigan statesman, and we earnestly hope tina
the whole scheme viii be abandoned, for the good
the country Of the democratic party, and of the dis
tinguished gentleman whose advancement is aimed at
but whose deadly injury is more likely to be effecte
by it. No man stands more fair before the countr
now than General CAss, and none but his friends
injure him.
INDIANA DEsocRAr.-This is to be the title of
new paper to be issued at Indianapolis about the frs
of November; by A. F. Morrison and S. F. Coving
ton 1t will advocate the claims of Gen. Cass to til
! Presidency.
