Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-04-08

FLOW DsMocRATs.-We are fast approximatinp
TO another crisis in political enterprise We have
already ushered into most important campaign, up
on the result of which hangs deep and heavy inter-
est. We are now called upon to organize for the
purpose of selecting and electng candidate for Pre-
sldent OF the United States and others to represent
US In our National and State Legislatures; to the
successful accomplishment of which we are called
upon TO exercise unusual judgment and discrimination
| hope, therefore, that you will permit me, in behalf
of Indiana, to solicit that zeal and integrity by which
we have gained so many decisive victories
We still have the same motives to actuate us. Have
we yet any pernicious end to which democratic
principles tend! And has the Democratic party fall
ed TO be steadily exercised in establishing. promoting
and carrying those great principles the object of
which is the consummatOn of our country's pros
perty and happiness! The answer to the above es-
tabshes the consistency Of early anxiety for
cess, and perpetual vigilance, sentinels on the
watch tower of the peoples rights.
1t is true we are called upon to mourn the national
difficulty into which we have been involuntariy in
voved at the same time we are proud of our Repre-
sentaives and Executive, that they did cowardy
submit to perpetual insults, without seeking redress.
Who but coward would be represented as a coward,
and who would bear perpetual insults but a coward.
spirit OF indulgence and forbearance is honorable
but more than that is co~ardce in the extreme. That
have exercised this spirit towards all nations with
which we have had difficulty will be denied by no
well informed and warmhearted American.
Then, there alternative for us than to defend
our rights patriots, yield them up towards,
all turn tories and at once pull down the altar Of our
republic. Let babbling fanfarons bubble: all their
windy humbugs are ssstrsnsient as their lustrious
creators-it will scarcly - year al they will be
buried beneath the rowns, contempt, and Indignation
of a patriotic people.
There is party that condemns the war; their Dig
nifty needs no eulogium. THIS party Cor the sake of
manufacturing political capital, cozdescends to the
most Insignificant misrepresentation and scandal,
which cannot fail to disgust every thinking mind.
The maneuvring'of the wfre-pulling, humbug party
has not yet succeeded IN GLIDING our vigilance; we
have our eyes upon them. The Grower of fory-four
is still alive, and the well aware that he is
too wide awake for their sneaking intrigue. They
might as well try to bride whlrlwnd, or catch a
hurricane In mouse trap. as to outwit that old chap
Whgery has presented itself in such vast variety
OF forms, and has been represented BY so many en-
blems, fromfh taest log cabin the most insgnif-
cant coon, that we are at loss to know in what
character it will next present ITSELF But from the
brayIng that we have already heard, we inclined
