The Danve Advertiser seems to be in great deal
of trouble about the democrats througbost the State pro-
ceedng make their nominations of candidates for DEL
egates to the constitutional after the formal
made the Democrats in behalf of the whigs,
to form compromise ticket in Marion After noticing
the rejection OF the proposition of the Wing central
committee by the Democratic Convention of Marion, the
"This leaves the Whig party (the minority of In
diana but pursue, and that is, draw the
Ine'' wherever anything be made by ito reject
every compromise, and secure the delegate IN every
county where they have the power at all hazards. y
This "drawing the line where there is any thing be
made by it,, is evidently after thought Of the Wings,
and did not cerany originate since the rejection of their
overture to the Democrats in Marion. The trick has
been sticking out some since the meeting of the
Wing leaders indianapolis last winter when, view
Of the pile of stolen thunder brought together that
occasions Mr.. Deees expressed the opinion that they
could triumphant majority in the Constitutional
Convention Since then, their efforts have been direct
ed steadily PreUent "the line from being drawn in
Democratic countess they now, TO hape it done in
counties "where something can be made by it,; and by
pulling ut the proper time, each oi these strings they
hope (patrioc souIs to "eevae the Convention above
all party influences and consideration by-electng
Whig majority Now that would be just easy And
then they generally such exemplary supporters OF mo-
party measures surely can't e, them have their ways
cant afford TO let them serve their country, when
they such benevolent intentions? The proposition
Of the Wing committee to the Democratic Convention
was evidently intended contribute such result.
The overture withheld until the day of the meeting
Of the Marion County Democratic Convention, after the
Democratic conventions in large proportion of the
counties had been held and the township meetings in
Marion had been held and the delegates had received
their instructions and until it known these delegates
could not if 30 disposed, accede to the Wing offer
Had been intended for the consideration and action OF
the Democrats it would have been submitted at an earlier
day, the people themselves and not to the delegates
in attendance at the convention But the affair may
swer by a hollow show of Iiberny, create a little
capital, and for this purpose it is used. -
The Advocate admits the Wings TO be in a minority,
and be afraid they succeed in sending up
majority tn the convenon and in anticipation Of such
event, difficulty swells up before the edi-
tors maenaiion that f the Constitution s drafted BY
Democrats il will be ga document made up entirely Of
the most ultra modern Democratic theories OF govern
ment to the exclusion of every principal feature OF the
old instrument, good we'll as bad, and every thing
bearing the evidence of Whgsery its face" "To be
followed matter of course, by rejection on the part
of the honest patriotic and sensible Of all parties
Well the editor certainly deserves credit for the
discovery OF this formidable obstacle but il 10 much to
be regretted that he did proceed TO eulgen the psb
lie mind what particular theories of 'modern Dem
ocracy, the exclusion of whch-and az to what Psr-
cuar "fesures OF Whggery," the insertion Of which in
the Constitution, wood s "reection BY all par
ties Ii might be Of mach advantage TO some people to
known about now
