INDIANA.

This State, once vaclaiing in her nol;s.
for some years PAST, been as firmly united N ~
cpe as any State in the Union. Durin,
presidential canvass, she made gallan, Ga,
won glorious victory. In her recen, ST.
congressional elections, she has triumpbed
eight utof ten members of Congress, bv
democratic majority Of 1884, (accordiny ~ mn
fetal returns,) and the election of dor
United States senaor-showing that, bv
organization, Indiana will never again e.s,
er federal vote. To preserve this boon -a''
has been won by SO much labor and ey,r,;.
our friends must be united upon principle. ana !,
united, there is no danger of dividing a,

republican journals at the head Of their ool,.
and not, as yet, the name of any man. In IN.
ing senatorial election, We hope to see A d,u,
elected by democrats To do this, let the cI,;n'
all the aspirants be submitted to conye,,;on
let the seal Of condemnation he placed uno,
head of such democrats as adopt the viii, :,
"divide and conquer" This remark will applv WI
equal force to other States which elect H.
States senators this winter. Ii was not opr ;r,.
to read a lecture to our republican friends in J0A.
on the subject of their duty; but, seeing rnnI
of names inserted in the .'Sentnel, y we h,v. s.a
our duty to caution our friends against the d..,,.
ing effects of division. In Indiana, as well a, al
States, we hope TO see candidates selected accord,
to the usages of the party. If that course be ada,
ed, senators having the confidence of the whole d.,,
racy and Of the administration will be chosen. W,
cannot close this article without expressing our d
regret that an attempt is now being made tn s.,,h
lsh another democratic paper, with president,
name already floating at the masthead, at Indau,DO,
Weare certain no good can grow Out of this mea,,.
The Messrs. Chapman, editors of the "SentO, n
commenced the publication of that able and esc,,,
paper when the State seemed almost hopelessv &,
eral. Il has been faithful and efficient "S,n,;,,
and, under its auspices, the State has wheeled I'M,
the democratic line; and the establishment of ne,
paper, upon such a principle, must and will
have the effect of dividing our party and
distracting our friends. The prospectus for A.
new paper, to he styled the 'Indiana Democn,
is now before us. Itproposes to support the admin.
istration Of President Polk, and advocate the dr..
trines Of the Baltimore convention The mama n
Lewis Cass, Of Michigan, will be placed at the head
of It's columns, as candidate for the presidency
This, in our humble judgment, is wrong, and will
give to it the name of "Cass, instead of demo,.
cratic paper, and tend to create jealousies and ds
ions in the party, without benefting the distinguish
ed statesman they design TO aid We have repeat
eddy said that now is not the time to agual. as
question of the succession. We 60 further and az
at once, frankly, that better scheme could be DE-
vised to injure the prospects Of any candidate, than
to bring him forward at so early period, We
made this remark to the friend Of another distn.
guished gentleman the other day. And we rsmsa
here--rnuch as we respect and admire Gen. Cass
is too early in the day to bring him or any man
forward. The presen, administration has just com.
menced. The great principles on which it was elect
ed have not yet been fully carried out. Let US e.
tablish them, before we enter into any struggles i
the succession. We are prepared to use this hn
guage towards the friends Of any man, (be be who
he may,) who is brought thus early into the field
