I MS OF SUBS RIPTION
August Election.

wealth.. IN many counties, and partlcu-
larly those in which there is a majority OF
the opponents Of the administration, the
parties are actively engaged. Candi-
dates are already in the field, and rival
claims are being settled. In old Wayne
the subject has been scarcely mooted.-
The importance Of the next election how
ever demands the early and active atten-
ton Of the wing party. The next session
Of the legislature will be required to re-
aPportion the State for Senatorial and rep
resentative purposes-to elect a member
Of the United States Senate, and also a
President Judge Of this Circuit.
In the coming election We nave one
Senator; three representatives, Treasu-
rer, Auditor, Sheriff, Coroner, and one
commissioner, to elect. In addition to
these, there are four delegates to the
State Convention TO be chosen at the
same time. In regard TO the latter. we
are not disposed 10 insist upon stric,
party representation. Their duty will be
to establish great fundamental law, for
legislative action in future. To fix the
limits and define the civil, religious and
political rights Of all our citizens, and we
are disposed to make liberal concessions
TO the minority; and we shall vote for
such men as shall declare themselves to
be in favor Of liberal and correct princ-
pies being incorporated in our new con-
stituton. There is but little difference Of
opinion among the people of this State as
to the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution, and we hope our ablest and best
men may be selected as delegates to the
convention. We will not object to man
simply because he may have heretofore
acted with the democratic party; but he
must not be locofoco, an Liberal, az.
graran.
Our present object, however, is to call
the attention of our Wing friends to the
importance of the selection OF proper
candidates for the mex: legislature. We
care not what means may be adopted to
make the selection; Yet we hope gene
raj consultation will be had. and that the
most satisfactory plan may be adopted
The election of an L. s Senator should
alone be sufficient 10 inspire our wing
friends to activity. With the Senate as
now constituted the success Of the Wings.

principles and measures for which the
whig party have so long coLtended canno,
be carried out by that success until

House of Representatives,. Indiana is
deeply interested in Wing Pol'cy-in in

An opportunity is now offered to have

private individuals should be subject TO

no one will urge any claims he, or his
friends may think he proposes. contrary
