Wing party managed the affairs of the State!
This is the manner in winch they plunged
Indiana upon the very verge OF bankruptcy

brought taxaton upon the people and disgrace

WHITCOMB, and those who have with him
labored faithfully. laboriOusly, and honestly to
relieve the State from her embarrassments! E
those who have not only stopped the debt from
increasing upon US, as it did every year under
Wing rule. but have placed the whole debt IN

such article that from the "Lagrang e

months ago there appeared article in the

Sentinel, which, il seems to us, should have
precluded them from commenting any thing
