Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1845-09-11

The Columbus Gazette, "a Wing paper,) Of Aug.
30 has the following article relative to Indianapolis
politicians:

tremendous snarl about matters and things IN gen.

IN peck of trouble, because another democratic pa

In the heat of passion, the return OF reason we
don't know which, they have commenced the publl-
cation IF series of articles under the head of ''Po
ltical Mysteries of Indianapolis, in which they are
likely TO make some important disclosures The po-
litical "Intriguers at Indianapolis ought to be
posed and their influence overturned, for so long as
any party adheres to their dctation long they will
never prosper. The wing ''Junto' at Indianapolis,
be it sad to their shame have done more injury TO
the whg cause in this State, and especially In
this Congressional District than all the efforts of the
opposition could possibly do. Their zeal in the wing
goes Just far their individual inter-
ests. This fact has been clearly demonstrated time
and again. and never more strikingly than in their
course this summer, relative to the Congressional
Election in this district. 1t was well understood, by
this wing unto'' at Indianapolis, that none of their
clique could succeed, this year, in this Democratic
district if brought out hence they would rather
ri6ce the interests of the party, by supporting man
who was calculated only to weaken the party strength
and defeat the county tickets, than to go for out

of succeeding. Unless a stop be put to the sway of
this apolis-canddate-m -junto, the Wing
patty never need expect to succeed in electng ano-
thef Governor, member to Congress from the dis
tfict to which they are attached. We fully per-
saded that the wings Of this county will never again
consent to be governed by their exclusive dctatiOn
induced to support their junto candidates. If we
are compelled to remain in the minority, we will be
found there fighting for principle
"Whether the Sentinel men, in their expositions,
have at heart the good of the party or whether they
are afraid of losing some Of the crumbs, we know
not, and care less, but this much we do know, they
have been efficient spokes in the wheel of Locofoco-

Time perhaps will the doubts of the Gazette
relative ourselves. As to its remarks about the
Wing Junto, it is partly right and partly wrong. We
speak specially the policy which the Juno thought
1t best adopt in the late Congressional canvass in
this district The policy in theory, adrot enough,
though we agree with the Gazette that there is no
policy as good as an honest avowal of Prin0pe. The
policy, and it was that of the neC recruits of the
Wing Junto, was this to wing candidate for
Congress in the strong democratic districts but let
ting the congressional question go by default
deavor to secure majority in the Legislature and
thereby Wing U. S. Senator. But the difficulty ex-
lists in carrying any such scheme into effect Even
if the Of party is pliabe enough to be mould.
ed such purposes is essential keep the
ment secret from the antagonistc party. This is i'm
possible, because fortunately political parties not
exactly like military battalons; they don't always
obey the orders of leaders without reasons and when
the given they will discuss them and just
as like not dsapprove. 1t so happened in the late
contest; and that's the reason why the Wing Juntos
policy was unsuccessful as its principles would
have been, if avowed.
We have this much to say in just praise of the
Wing leaders here, in relation to the late contest
When a certain pretended democrat proposed to run
against Wick if the Wing leaders and the Journal
would support him, they rejected the proposition
