ELDERS PLEDGE IS.
Previous to the election, Elder pledged
that he would vote constructions 10 our
Senators in Congress, 10 oppose the or
ganization Of any territorial government
which does not contain the principles Of
the Wilmot proviso--to vote against the
admission Of any slave State-to use their
votes and influence to relieve Congress
from all responsibility for the existence
and continuance Of slavery whenever It's
constitutional power eXtends-to vote for
the immediate abolition of the slave trade
in the District Of Columbia" and further
that he would vote for the repeal ''of the
bond and security law = end :. in
favor Of permitting colored persons to tes-
t;fy in courts ofjusticc.' These pledges
were made in the Free Sol! Sentinel, but
were very prudent/y omitted, in the publ
cation OF the JefFersonian. We have IN
derstood that, privately, he pledged him
.elf TO certain anu. slavery mon, to vote
for the unconditional repeal Of all the
laws, generally known as the . Black
Laws of Indiana.
His Course as member this winter
will prove whether locofocos "always do
what they PROMISE our course in re-
gard TO these laws is well known--wc have
advocated their repeal in our humble way
for many years. 1t is no new born zeal
with US. 1t is different with our neighbor
Ills conversion was as sudden as falling
of a log Ii is said that when he heard
that Gen. Taylor was elected, he ''cur2ed
the sless>ackat1m md swore he would Join
the .bolivhiss1" The moment the post
Office was about to leave his hands. he
suddenly became convinced of the beau
ties of free soil, and in his heart he vowed
Ito make it pay" The intimation that
We arefn nuenced in our course by selfish
motives, is worthy our ncighbor, whose
brain never conceived, nor even reflected
an anti-slavery idea until tho defeat OF
his party in 1913.
