Reading out Democrats.

Inc hepuDHcan has suddenly assumed d
most prominent position among the Democ-
racy of Vanderburgh. 1t seems determined
to quash Maj. Robinson's organ, as it calls
the Vanderburgh Democrat, and to read out
from the party, prominentDe mocrats,w who were
laboring against Whiggery when the pub
fishers oftheRepublican were boys. Whether
these gentlemen, who have labored almost to
old age, strongly, vindictively, and most dirt
lily, for Democracy. will consent to be dismiss
ed from the ranks by these new corners; aided
by few writers who have selfish ends to
achieve, or personal animosities to crafty, re-
mains yet to be seen; or whether, by calling
them Wings, Democrats who have worked
with them shoulder to shoulder for many
years, will believe them such, we shall also
understand. The Republican calls Major
Robinson, for instance, a Wing. That the
Major. who has been one of the most violent
and scurrilous Democrats in Vanderburgh
Countrywide has sought political popularity
by filthy abuse of everything opposing or OPP
posed to Democracy-whO has never omitted
an occasion to belle the Wing party, classifying
its principles and abusing its men-that this
man of all others should now be called Il
Wing, is not only ridiculous in itself, but a
SANDER on the Wing party. We want no
such men among US, and no such man, were
he q Wing, could get fifty votes in Wander
burgh county. And at the same time he is
called Wing, the Vanderburgh Democrat
is called Maj. Robinsons organ-thus pre-
senting a gross inconsistency. as the Demo
crat blackguards the Wing party far more
than the Republican can hope to do, even
under its present control, or with the assist
ance Of the several little brains that contrib
umns. We do not mean TO say, there is any
inconsistency in the charge, when paper il
this community becomes particularly noted FL
: its blackguardism, scurrlity, obscenity anc
Ebeis, that Maj Robinson must be its editor
We think such charge is UeTg likely to BIT
< true-at all events it is no SANDER.
t Now we candidIy believe, that ifthis Dem
ocratic aspirant to the State Convention, whc
is candidate in opposition to the regua
S Democratic nominee, believed he could get al
8 office by becoming Wing, he wouIl have NJ
i hesitation or conscientious scruples in making
a a very sudden change And probably h,
: may have INDUCED sufficiently in this hope
to glue his Democratic friends reasons, ant
f very good reasons, to be suspicious he medita
= ted the change, or that he is now in that in
: cipient stage through which the worm mus
: pass ere it becomes butterfly. But he may
, sing "Fd be a butterfly" till he be hoarse
: before he can unfold his wings and be recog
n nized by butterflies as a fellow, who remem
: Der him as the disgusting worm.
v We should like to see the Republican sue
o coed in running from It's party such men a
: this, and another to whom it alludes as bein!
d opposed TO foreigners with him. But do not
e you have decency enough left to swear by
It classify them with Wings. We are yer.
+ willing TO adopt into our party those Demo
It Gratis who have seen the errors OF their ways
P and wish honestly hereafter to pursue the tru
i path-but when a Democrat becomes so muc
e a black sheep that his own party feel asham
u ed Of him, the Wing party is the last to whic
is he should fly for sympathy or support.
