Revival of the Indiana Democrat.
We copy the following notices in relation to the
proposed revival of the Indiana Democrat, and ap-
pend brief comments of
ora. F. Morrison and S. F. Covington are max
ing arrangements to start CasS paper at Indianap-
oils, to be called the "Indiana Democrat" There
are too many papers at Indianapolis already.-ladi
SON Courier, Aug. %.
Few persons appraised, probably, of the large
number of papers already published at Indianapolis.
There are no less than ten distinct publications. to
wit Sentinel, weekly and semi-weekly, 2 Journal;
Farmer and Gardener; Cultivator Courier, daily /;
Spectator; Freeman; Locomotive Washingtonian.
This is pretty well for town of 5000 inhabitants.
''We have received prospectus for another Demo-
cratic paper to be established at the capital of
State, entitled the "Indiana Democrat" by A. +.
Morrison and S. F. Covington. The Democrat will
support the claims of Gen. LEWIS CAss for the next
Presidency. The first number is proposed to be IS
sued in the early part of November next We wish
the publishers all in their undertaking. but at
the same time doubt the expedency of establishing
another Democratic paper the seat of government.
In our opinion two papers of that kidney cannot be
sustained there az this time-one or the other must
therefore go down. Feray Palladium, Aug. D.
"INpIANA DEMocRAT"-We see that proposals
have been issued for publishing paper at lndi-
annapolis, bearing the above title, to advocate the
claims of General Cass to the Presidency in 1913
This move we much regret, satisfied it will
result in no good to the democratic party, there is
already one democratic paper published at that place,
and should Gen. Cass be the democratic candidate
knot that the Chapmans will be found where they al
ways have been, battling manfuy for the success of
democratic men and measures-hence we see no good

couraged to spring into existence. The fact is, the
''Sentinel' has been an efficient organ-the editors
have labored fathfully-and we trust the democracy
of Indiana will not prove so short-sighted as to en-
courage the establishment of another paper at that
place, which, at BEST result In possible good.
Delphi Oracle, Aug. %.
The Oracle does justice in the expression of his
opinion relative to our support of Gen. Cass, should
he receive the Democratic nomination, and we like
the positive way in which he expresses it. As to our
merits or dement's in other respects, we have only
this to say have labored to do the best could.
"There is already located at that point an excel
lent democratic paper, which is not over literally
supported and the party barely, if in the ascendancy
at all. Divide the patronage between two papers, let
rivalry grow into jealousy between the publishers,
and divisions among friends will be exhibited at
the polls, and then the 'citadel' will fall prey to
the Federalists. We have confidence in the talents
and energy of Covngton and Morrison, but the expo
rence of the past warns us of dangers in the future,
to our cause to grow out of too many papers being
located at any one point, and we are sure, one well
supported press at the Capital will be better for our
principles than half starved concerns Brook
riHe Democrat, Aug %.
We shall not question the 'talents and energy" Of
Morrison, but do question his political integrity
democrat He is wing in what we regard the most
essential measures of the times-Banking, Tariff In
dependent Treasury and Internal Improvement. This
is the only ground of hostility towards him and
his projected paper. No man can serve both Godand
Mammon
+ OMINoUs.-There is to be another Democratic pa
per at indianapolis. A. F. Morrison, for many years
the editor of the State Democrat at Indianapolis, and
s. F. Covingon, for few years the publisher of the
Rising Sun Blade, have issued proposals for COM
mencing Democratic paper at the seat Of govern
lment, commencing the first week in November. 1t is
to be weekly except during the session of the Legs-
lature, when it will be semi-weekly. There appears
to be trouble in the camp. The editors of the Sentl-
mel certainly deserving of their party for their
industry-their perseverance,, and their fidelity to
their principles Upon these points, we have never
heard them doubted Their talents of the practi-
cal kind. 1t is true wings do not have much kind
feeling for them-thcy have too often and too success
fully used their barbed lances for comfort. But
we are at a loss to determine the cause of complaint
| with any portion or fragment of their party. But
they are to have opposition A. F. Morrison is To-
cofoco of the clearest stamp-he has several promi
nent traits Of it which he could not conceal if he
would. S. F. Covington is of considerable
Ui and has published interesting neutral for two
or three years. We think he is man Of industry
practical printer, and in respects practica
man. But his locofocoism began to stick out prom
nently lately, that we were convinced he would moi
remain in his neutral position long. This paper
goes for Gen. Cass.-BrOokriHe American, (Whig, }
Aug. %.
We presume that the s'prominent traits to which
the American REFERS are not recognized as especially
those of i" locofocoism'' by Democrats. We shall
show, by and by, that in Mr. Morrisons case they
not.
