The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1849-12-25
a New Denocratic Editor.

Before us is the Prospectus Of tie Evans
vile Advertiser, a Daily paper, which is Il
spring up Phenix-like from the ashes of the
defunct Commercial. Copies of this Pros
pectus have been circulated in the country III
a secret manner, as if the new Democratic
Editor felt ashamed of his novelposition, and
would Withhold to the last moment from the
knowledge of his fellow citizens here, what
this positionis, We had heard Of it, but we
could not believe our ears that after the pos
tive assurances from the Editor of the Com
mercial to his readers that the Commercial
should not change its neutral position, IN so
short time it had hoisted the Democratic
banner. But who, think you, is the Demo-
cratic Editor? Why Ben Stinson himself
the immaculate Ben, who Tor filthy lucre, %
has left the party among which he has been
classed from childhood to war upon thatparty
through the columns Of a Democratic paper
He saw, after accusing us of g boasting, :"
that the Commercial could not compete with
the Journal, and the paper suspended. He
had bought the Office, and something must be
done with it, and nothing could be done but
to change it into Democratic paper. He
has forsakenhis principles FOR the uncertain
tenure Of making a living as Democratic
Editor. We do not object to this. Demo-
cratic Editors are generally made of such
material, or of something Of the same stamp
We sympathze with the Wing party intherI
loss-the Democrats can sympathize with
each other on their gain I, 4
But what will the Vanderburg Democrat
say? It hasIbled athe party'' SO long and so
thoroughly, that we fear there is little blood
left for other leeches. The party is pledged
to it-they are in for it-and it is into them.
Huntington will not regard the Advertiser
with favorable eye, He will view it as a
diyider of9the loaves and fishes. We think
that between the two suckers the Democratic
party will get badly sucked IN. =
The Democrats in the country will be 10th
to give their support to one whom, if they
have known him at all, they have always
known him as Wing. They will suspect
him, or atleastthipk he .wilf1nake avery poor
preacherof Democratic doctrine, after so sud-
den a'conversion, and having gained SO little
fame as a Wing.

MIssIssiPPI RIVER. - The Mississippi river
at Cairo is nearly gorged with lee, as we
learn from onr attentive correspondent. The
highEwaters Of the Ohio cause back water in
the Mississippi at that point, and thus per-
mits the ice to collect. Tie upper Missls-
sippi is probably closed BY this time.
