TRUTa LEAKINa OUT.-The editor of the
Vanderburgh Democrat succeeded in his paper
of Saturday last, in proving to his own salts
faction, and, no doubt, to the satisfaction Of
the public, that the party with which he fra
ternizes is no better than they should be-that
ia TORY is anonymous with Robber and Muir
derer." We have had our own opinion about
this matter for some time, but we prefer al
ways that our opponents should draw their
own ikenesses; they can paint nearer TO life
than Wings. According To the Democrat, the
party who have all along succeeded Sin de-
priving and defrauding the people of their just
rights, and monopolizing them for their own
benefit" is the "Tory party" So we think;
but we can hardly believe the locofoco lead
ers and aspirants hereabouts will thank the
editor for exposing their corruption just at this
time, when they are busy in making their Sc
lection of leaders for the approaching campaign.
Every one knows without being told by the
Democrat that the locofoco party has been in
power for the last twenty years or more, but
few were prepared for his admission that du-
| ring all that time the leaders have succeeded
in "depriving and defrauding" the masses of
their ''just rights" 1t is true in our paper of
Saturday morning we did publish list of ''pri-
vileges" in the shape Of mint drops "monopo-
led by thirty seven "Tories"-or Robbers, |"
if that term suits the Democrat better-mem-
bers Of the locofoco convention which nomina-
ted Mr. Polk, amounting to the very respecta-
BILE sum Of sir hundred and ninety-sir thou
sand, fire hundred and Sirty-eight dollars and
ftfy-sir cents, or nearly nineteen thousand dol
lars head. A pretty round price for locofoco
skulls it must be admitted, and rather more
than the editor of the Democrat thinks they
are worth, no doubt; hence his cry against the
Robbers. Fearing the list we published
on Saturday-which, no doubt, caused the great
outcry Of the Democrat--may have been over
looked by some, we here append it, and re-
quest that it be remembered that the list con-
tains the names of only thirty seren out of two
hundred and seventy five delegates who at
tended the convention and nominated Mr.
Polk. The others are no doubt provided for,
and the aggregate could be swelled to millions
if the same facilities were open TO the people
that are enjoyed by MIR. Polk:
Delegates to the Baltimore Conpsnfion ava Nav 1874
lno haue been rewarded by Mr. Polk, and amount
ofthe public money which each has received or wU
receive during has Administration.

With this list starring the editor of the Dem
ocrat in the face, it is not surprising to see hin
come down flat-footed upon the Robbers" oil
I the Treasury. To acknowledge the truth we
have been for some time expecting "aid'' from
that quarter in exposing the corruptions of the
e ''Tory" party. AS none know better than the
I locofocos themselves the many ways their lead
ers have of ''defrauding the people of their JUS
T rights and privileges" so none are more capa
E bic of exposing them; and we rejoice that in
the coming contest we are to have the aid oil
the editor of the Democrat
i Another table which has just met our eye
land which, no doubt, the Democrat has pasted
in his scrap book-taken from an official re-
port Of the Adjutant General, will satisfy the
, reader why, according to the Democrat, a loco
cofoco, or "Tory" is synonymous with "Mur-
derer" The Democrat has no intention of do
ing things by halves. If the leaders of the To-
Icofoco party are "Murderers" as well as "Rob-
