avail myself Of this occasion to say to you that the
democracy of Indiana rs clear and unquestonabe. y
The antsavery hobby, ridden by opponents, induced
the violent aboonsts to coaesce with their ancient
workers. and in this way had the whole phalanx to
fight instead of two factions This is it should be-
When the cardinal measure of two parties is the same it
is well for them, and not advantageous to us, to effect
union Federalism has tried "many time and oft" to
win her abolition child back TO her embraces, by
cedng little by ttle by alternate coaxing and cursng
but failing to reap the strength of the wayward innocent
by kind endeaments or angry frowns she has, true to
the instincts of weak mother, foiio,ced in some
TONS the defomed creature and embraced its odous doc
trines.
Since the excitement of the late elections has subsidized

The name of "Od lack" tower OF strength in its
eectoneering influence here; and, but for this, their
ranks would have presented lean appearance Many

which will not show the opposition to both to have its
origin in jealousy fear rather, that the territory to
be acquired may from its contguIty to the southwestern
