Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1845-01-02
DOCTOR will differ.

The courteous, polite, gsntlemanly and christian
Wing Editor of the Brookville American, in describ-
ing the manner in which the Governor of Indiana de-
livered his message to the Legislature at the begin
ming of the present session, says:
"He arose TO deliver the message, in the most care
less, disgusting composure, his mouth distorted with
an ungainly large quantity of MISUNDERSTANDING
his MISUNDERSTANDING his face-insulting to de-
cent men-and disgraceful to a civilized people. At
every breath he was compelled to stop and roll the
monstrous, nauseating lump Of filth in his mouth
the saliva running from the corners Of his mouth, like
the overlooking of a pot of tobacco stems, when pre-
pairing the juice to kill **** upon calves. Eighty
two times, during the delivery Of the message, was
he compelled to stopand discharge the filth and saliva
from his mouth. The scene would have been a dis
grace to the back room Of a dQggery."
The word used by the editor, in the above extract,
and for which we have substituted four stars, we have
left out, for fear that some might think il a Locofoco
forgery of our own; Wing editors, you know, never,
use naughty words. Besides, a man who would in
sert such a description in a family newspaper, must
have more politeness, gentlemanly carriage, and reli-
gious profession, than we can pretend to, to back him
in such a licence. By the by, the Mr.. c. F. Clarkson,
who wrote that editorial, cannot of course, be the Mr..
c. F. Clarkson, who, while he was formerly the editor
of that paper, not only brought a suit of defamation
&oNG BNASSAf "hO h0d NN5NhNh gums hAh3 "a
was also sued himself for defamation and had judgment
againsthim, again, for above 81 ,000damages! Wesay
it cannot be the same Mr. GARRISON, because this gen.
tleman, as you perceive, never ISLANDERS people and is We
ry scrupulous in his language. The b~enighted ~locofocos
may be thankful that they now have a chance of hear
ing what ''decency'' is.
But we cannot now bestow more of our time on Mr..
Clarkson, we must proceed to the Wing editor of the
Peoples Press, published in Charlottesville. He also
undertakes to describe the Governors personal ap-
pearance in the following manner:
''The stale cant of the arrant deRa gogue as usual!
an attempt to embitter the p~rejudices of the poor
against the rich and that too by an Executive whose
orbitC) is probably redolent with the odor of rich per-
fumes; whose ''ambrosial curls'' glisten with the
studied art of the barber, and whose refined %olfacto-
ries would scent the garlic breath of the ''rabble' as
far as any other modern ''demOcrGf' living"
This last gentleman can never get it out of has cor
Bit that there are tve classes of men in this land of
equality, one of which he calls the ''rabble," and he
is in a perfect SILVER, for fear they have ''prejudices''
against the rich. Set your mind at rest friend, they
have no prejudices, they only want to keep from being
robbed.
But while from Mr.. Clarkson's description, one
would suppose the Governor himself is, in his appear
ance, one of those he calls ''rabble, - the last gentle
man represents him as a superfine dandy. This, al
though a lcide, must be an honest difference of opinion,
for of course Wing Editors have all the politeness,
all the learning and all the decency. They have no
hatred, no prejudices-not a bit. That is all for those
they call the s'rabble."
Gentlemen when you get together and agree in your
opinion of the Governor, it will be time enough for
his friends to be called upon to answer the charge.
