by any decent member OF the
party within our knowledge, as an organ of
that partly has repeatedly charged upon tins
candidate for the State Convention, that he I
was and is bitter Native American, oppos-
ing foreigners strenuously aud to the knife.
Although this came from source acknowl- /
edged respectable by tire Majors own party. |
from the organ itself of Democracy IN this
region. and day after day the Germans, Irish.
English, &C., in our midst, were told he OPP
posed their becoming American citizens. and
was opposed n them as American citizens,
because they originally came from foreign
lands, yet the Major has not had the hardi-
hood TO say one acord in his own defence IN
Ill reTy recently, when he comes out in a let
ter and publishes it in place and paper far
distant from The city in which the charges
originated. And even then, the subject is
only alluded to casually, as li'it were one OF
the smallest matters in the world. He says
in speaking OF the charges made against him
by papers OF Evansville, that here where
bo b newspapers and himself are known, no
denial of any charges to his detriment are
necessary Who is this MAJOR Robinson,
standing so pure and immaculate before this
community, that charges originating from
sources acknowledged respectable by las own
party as well as the Wing party, cannot
reach or 90 not call for contradiction We
have yet to learn that any politician among
US is nCt amenable TO the bar of pullIc opin
ion, when he places himself before the peo-
Pile as candidate asking their suiirages for
an important oiice-much less are we or the
public disposed to make such political, NOR
al aud religious a weathercock,as the Major,
an excepiot, by clothing him with purity
not OF himself and not certainly clainlel Tor him
by his best friends. This charge OF Native
Americausm, with other serious charges orig
mated, as we have SAID, with the organ oil the
Democratic party in this region. His long- 81
lence stamped upon them truth which has d.
ously delayed answer, aud made III such Iii-
definite terms, cannot rebuff.
For a lorg time Maj. Robinson has been
received and acknowledged as the real editor
of the Marlborough Democrat. We knoD
that he has written most disgraceiul articles
for that dirty sheet, which paper has done
more TO injure the Democratic party in this
region, than any paper bearing upon It's face
the stamp of Whiggery- 1t has been dis
curded for lis impollcy, ohscenIiy ami black
guardisrn, from the party whose nan. lit bears
AMI disgraces. With this connection between
Maj. r. aud the Vanderburgh Democr 1t, let
the abhorrent course OF that paper towards
the Germans last fall be remembered. The
readers aud especially the German readers
OF the Democrat, will recoiiect the gross ep-
ithets applied to them ~ it, simply because
they were foreigners. They will -ecollect
being termed horde Of sayages, " driven
! from their own land for crimes, &c. II ne
cessary we cana any moment prove this DIS
graceful conduct oil the Democrat by giving
the documents, bat it is enough that the
columns of one paper should have been dis
graced by the villdinous articles, without
another at this day republisliing them Now
paper is considered, and that the Democrat
is at this time lending him warm support,
and that he aud it are both opposing the reg
ular Democratic nomlnation-Inay it not be
reasonable TO suppose, that the con ,ecting
link binding them together, is Natire Ameri-
canism2 III
And who is now most warmly supporting
Maj. Robinson outside oil his paper2 Dr..
Burns And will not the Germans recolIect
who DR.. Burns rs2 Do they not remember
how he, through the columns OF the Demo
crat last fall or winter, sIandercd and abused
them as Germans? Aud do they not recol-
leci their Indignation as Germans on account
oil all this, and that they voluntarily brough;
US communication signed by thirty-two
names oil prominent German citizens, OF
whom about twenty-five were Democrats
disclalming the charges, the paper and the
party who supported it2 And did not many
German Democrats promptly discontinue
the Democrat for its conduct ..
These things we ask, aud then we inquire
of these Germans and all foreigners, if they
nouo feel disposed to support the Democrat,
by lending their aid to elevate the man who
supports it as he is supported in Return by ii
and its late leilow-workcr against Germans
DIR. Burns? Let them reply at the ballot box
us honest men, and as men who love the coun-
try of their birth, and seek protection in shar-
ing those privileges the just right and proper
ty OF all in the country OF their adoption. In
MIR. Pitcher they will fad a friend, who in
