PROSPECTUS FOR THE
COON SKINNER. VOLUME FOUR.


Of the Coon Skinner, commencing about the first Of
May next, and continuing until the August election
The Democracy Of Indiana must remember that it
insufficient 10 gain great victories and take no
means to secure them good general viii not allow
his soldiers to sleep upon their arms in the flushed
moment Of success and be surprised by vgilant foe,
their laurels torn from their brows, and themselves
driven from tie field in disgrace, scorned by all Our
last great victory must be secured and TO this end
we exhort the Democracy of Indiana to be ''rp and
doing" Of our own knowledge, we assure them that
we shall have not only the common home enemy to
contend WITH but their cohorts TO be strengthened
by Hessan legons hired by the money robbed CT our
own people. The latter viii be poured out with an
unsparing hand, to again throw State into the
hands of the punderers of her and integrity.
We speak by the book.
The people of tie country have elected President
Beyond doubt, one branch of Congress VIII be Of
complexion TO operate with the President. 1t now
lays with The people of Indiana to assist in having
the other branch of the political caste, that all
branches of our government may operate in unison.
We have all seen and felt the evils arising frciI DIFF
ferent state of things; ard we have it in power
to state that we know of large number of oPpo
nens who have declared their desire see the whole
administration act together. While we admire these
professions, we must be nary Promises made
too often violated and while those of 1910, whose
name is legion were so little Needed we can remeni-
Der also that of that great Mexican Whig Santa An
ma while in the power of his enemies and his grouse
afterwards made, viz "A promise made while in du-
rance Is void" We must then depend on our opn
strength, and, thank fortune, we have it.
Among other issues to be decided at the next Au-
gust election, may mention
lst, The election of United States Senator, in the
place of A. s. White, whose term expired on the Sd
of the present month. Shall the State have voice
in the U. S. Senate by elecing democrat act with
FER present Senator! Or shall be entirely hushed
by electing who will always vote opposingly and
against the administration This matter VIII be
treated at length in the Coon Skinner.
3D. Shall the next legislature, by having wing
majority, be enabled to extend to tie Bank power to
issue shinplasters of small denominations during the
continuance of its charter Or shall we have mix
ed currency Of gold silver and So notes We can
prove that the Bank makes more out of the people by
those shnPlas;ers than by any other portion of her
her circulation.
3D. Supreme Judges are to be elected, and all
ayerSe to e offices, must be that they can only
be abolished by electing Democratic Legislature.
While would intimate nothing against either the
qualifications honor integrity of the old Judges,
how humiliatng it is to suppose that the State of
Indiana cannot produce their equals
4th The appraisement laws will no doubt be
considered These in favor of them are only referred
here to whom and to what party they are indebted for
the timely relief they have afforded to the honest poor
This subject will be discussed in the coming canvass
9Th. A new apportionment of the State viii be made
vvIo Cd to in
inclined, we hope, sanction second edition OF the
last vile and infamous gerrymanderng. Let there be
no Parkcrs and Judahs In the next Assembly.
9th. The State Debt. This VIII be enc of the
subjects earnestly to be considered. Shall we again
place the State in the power of those who have
brought her to her present humiIating position {!
Who fattened plumber derived from the toiling
sweat and blood of our laboring population Who
have but to signify to their Wing friends desire for
relief from paying their just obligations to the
State, and 10 they in the councils of the State
voting in their own favor.! Who that had the
management of the affairs have brought us to be
bye-word among States and Nations, but is now
rolling in wealth I! Are they Democrats or WHY'S
1t easier to destroy than to build up If then it took
the leading Wings some six or seven years to ruin
the State, surely it is not asking too much to
desire half of that time to remove the rubbish and
show the progress of operations.
In addition, the Coon Skinner will contain the
current of the day. and such selections as may
be instructing and amusing.
