to say that he had sold out or. in these latter
political trading days. be induced to accuse him
Of bargaining off his integrity and honesty.
50. k appears to have stepped on the eorney
toes Of Mr.. Reed and We hope he'll again fa-

Fusion mproremenf--P riee.-The "Free
Territory Sentinel come to us last week pres
tod into the INDIANA True DEMOCRAT A
mere name BY which a thing is calI'd does not
often amount to much; but in this instance it
means something, and in order to find out what
it really is, the nut must be cracked-the kurnel
is inside. fusing operation has evde ntly been
going in the mind of its editor for some time
ever since he took to his bed our neighbor Of
the jeff. and endo rsed the free soiIism of John
S. Reed. The free soilism by which the editor
is actuated. is based entirely upon tho principle
Of Acknowledgement and free soiler melted to-
gether--bargains--con a kind of a "if
you'll tickle me, I'll tickle you" process! Sue
cess is all that is thought Of. no difference by
what means it is brought about; measures for
merly thought and said to be the most odious,
are to be advocated. and bargains the most cor
rupt are to be entered into. in order to promote
the success Of Anti-SIavery!-a hearty endorse
ment of all such appliances is enjoihed to the
free soil men in Congress under existing circum-
stances;'-we not surprised, therefore, at
the name being changed But we were some
what surprised, at the denu ncations Of 'done
Brown by the editor of the Democrat That
bargain for the Speakershp, was certainly so
conditioned and stipulated that its consumma-
ton was intended to enure to the benefit Of the
cause Of Ant-Slavery!-Browng gave pledge,
the peculiar friends Of free soil voted for him
on the strength Of that pledge,--Brown claims
to be a 'true democrar' and, by his former votes
proved himself a pro-sIavery man-Giddings
and the other free solers knew who this Brown
was and what he had been; yet they voted for
him and that. too, nth the former heart i'm
structions and pre-end orsing Of the Democrat
editor it is presumed be fore them!--'one of the
conditions of that p!edye was 'Ant-S Slavery
success; now, this free soil editor declares that
he wouldn't vote for Brown under mo considera-
ton! Consistency is certainly a jewel!
Again. the apologies made for the negro bill
Of RELIEF. introduced by John s. Reed in the
F. L. Sentinel-the compromise me asure'-'ihe
best that could be done at tie present. lis anoth
er evidence Of the melting and blending togeth
er Of I0l!e-free-soilsn and locofocoism. In
this connection. we'll relate little incident:
Before Reeds bill appeared in the Palladium
free soiler, in conversation with wing on
said bill, stated that Mr.. Vale and himself had
held talk over it, and that he Mr.. v inten-
ded to handle Reed without gloves for introduce
ing such measure; but tina, he had advised Mr.
V. not to be too hasty--to hold off until he could
write to Reed and get him to explain: 1t is pre-
suned that that advice was fo.low'd by the editor,
and he patiently waited for 'Americus' to white
was his own black bill-the stuff was put on,
and the mild and gentle structures Of Mr.. Vale
accompanied it, Twas the best that could BE-
done-compromise me asure. and so on! Does
it not sound strange to hear this true Democrat
editor aver, when he publishes Reeds bill
for punahing negroes, that he first observed 1t IN
the Palladium. The fact is "The True Demo.
craft for a name, will do to humbug people
with as well as any other; nay, better. as the
"b,iter enders" know, for under that name they
have contaminated the worst Of me asures.
The True Democrat if it has not improved
in other re spects. has improved its appearance
it is now published a mammoth sheet, and
is nearly the size o! the Palladium. We and
our brother publishers ia this District, will have
to put more reading matter in our papers. in
order to come within gun-shot of neighbor VS.
newly chris,ened and enlarged vehicle. If It
be fact, that his little paper "contained mora
reading matter than any, in this district. how
much vii! his big ono contain? We have no,
time to CIPHER up this important query; but We
will say that the face of the Democrat looks
very pleasant, and reflects credit on Rawson aud
the printers.
Along with the fusion and improvement, We
notice thu, Mr.. Vale, has stuck up new price,
current, at the head of bis paper, il reads: 1eSms
Tro Doilars, Equal Rights, Ciru, Religious and
Political, Of all Men. In Adcance. What do you
mean. Mr.. W You do no, intend to estimate
the price of Equal Rights, Civil. Religious and
Political. OF al Men," at only 1.-TWO Dollars
and to be paid "in advance" at that:
