The National Era.

The abolition paper published at Washington,
speaking Of the Sentinel, says 'Its serve tone we
pleased to say, is quite offensive to many ser-
ling democrats in Indiana" To prove this, the ed-
tor quotes from his Logansport correspondent, who
understand is John w. Wright, renegade dem
ocrat, who the regular free soi abolition candi
date for Lieutenant Governor, in opposition TO the
gallant Col. Lane, and received about three thou
sand yoes out of the one hundred and forty thousand
polled in the State We are thankful for small ia
vors, and under that head we class the opposition
of such men as John w. Wright, and the twadding
editor of the Era. Wright, this year, united with
the wings in support Of Wickersham, for Delegate,
and d. d. Pratt for Representative.

Fulton Monument.

The Cincinnati Gazette says,-there is an Association
in Troy, Indiana, whose object is to erect monument
Fulton upon prominent Hill, Troy, overlooking
the waters of the lower Ohio This Association has is
sued Circular" from which learn, that the spot
selected for this monument, is, above all others in the
West identified with his career and hallowed by
ty Robert Fulton at early day, selected tract Of
land for his future home. At the foot of this HILL
than thirty years ago. he and his brother established
wood yard"and there neglected and forgotten by his
country and his brother fuel the
steamers-the creation of his genius. There his
brother died and buried This then, is said is the
best location its proximity to the river and the beauty
of the surrounding senery and above ALL because it
the Hill Fulton loved so well, and from which he was
wont to look SO often upon the beautiful Ohio with min
gled feelings of pride and dependency.
The object Of the Association is most laudabe-noble
land we hope and trust their labors may be crowned
with success.

Presidents Message in Relation to New
Mexico.

We publish in our paper of to-day, the Message
Of President Fillmore in relation to the Texas boun
Diary and the difficulty between Texas and New
Mexico. The message is clear and explicit. Ii
assumes, that as the United States is now in posses
sion of the Territory, and the Executive Department
Of the Government possessing no authority 10 inter
fere with questions of boundary the President feels
bound to maintain the possession he finds it, This
same sentiment was expressed in still more decided
language, by Mr.. Clay, few days since. But on
the other hand, the President recommends Con-
gress by prompt Legislation, to establish the boun-
Diary of Texas and settle definitely the vexed and
aggravating questions, growing out of our terrific
rial acquisitions. We recommend the message to
the careful perusal of our readers. 1t is well writ
ten, and was no doubt conceived in a patriotic
spirit, with view to the peace and harmony of the
country.

In an obscure corner of the last Indiana Journal,
we find the following editorial fully endorsing the
principles of the compromise bin. The editor says
"We do not believe there is a single State IN the
Unon with the exception perhaps of South Carolina
where the great of she people not heartily
and earnestly in favor of the compromise BILL which
the Senate has refused to pass" Now, should
have taken the editor by the hand, far cordial
ly, if he had come out like man and inserted this
sentiment in prominent position in his paper.
We should have overlooked il altogether had not
friend pointed out to us. Don't be ashamed of the
truth, although you may be suspected of being gov
erned by interested motives. The election is over
and no abolition votes to gain
The editor Of the Journal also copies the follow
ing notice of great and harmonious meeting, re-

zette.

The EIecfion.

We have obtained signal and most glorious tri-
umph in the late elections in Indiana, when we con-
slider that the whole efforts Of the wing wire-work-
ers were devoted to success in the Legislature The
editor of the Journal was confident of majority in
the House of Representatives and we confess that,
in common with many other democrats, we were
alarmed for the result, knowing the means tbatw
resorted to, to accomplish our defeat Our efforts
to arouse the democracy were ridicufed and set
down as labor lost.
There was much involved In success In the
late elections, and although in some counties the
eyes of the people were blinded by sophistry, yet
the real democracy of the State nobly came TO the
rescue, and the plans of the wings being exposed
recoiled upon their own heads
As member of the Democratic State Central
COMMITTEES, we must claim some credit 10 our body,
for the prompt and decided manner IN which we re-
commended full tickets in all the counties, both for
the Convention and the Legislature. The derhocra-
cy in nearly all the counties, acted sugges-
lions. They met the enemy in open fight, even
w6ere-the odds were greatly against us, and much
of our gain in the Legislature, is in couies here
tofore wing. Indiana has always been democratic
State and the wings have only succeeded, when de-
mocrats were asleep at their posts. The result OF
this election proves most concusively, that an open
and manly fight is always the best So the Central
Committee considered : so they recommended,
and the result is before u.s. Democracy, when fair
lY in the field, is stronger than all combinations.

Speaking of Mr.. Clay, the Charleston Mercury

Speaking of Mr.. Clay, the Charleston Mercury
says:
His denuncation of Mr.. Rhett, has force only the
superstition that this gentleman contempates the raising
of an insurrection against the Government We know
that he dreams of such thing. The only dissolution
of the Union that Mr.. Rhett, any other Southern
man, contcmpates the possibility Of is through the
action of the States in their sovereign The question
thai will then be raised for the CITIZEN whether he
will rebel against the Federal Government but whether
he will refuse obedience to his own lawful sovereign.
In relation to the admission of California, it holds
the following language:
We believe that the admission of California will meet
with resistance too strong and determined to overcome
and that the Representatives of the South hacked
by the great tide of public opinion will take position
from which they be neither lurcd by snares, nor
driven by force

The whole whig ticket has been elected in this
county, except the Sheriff, who is Democrat, and
elected by majority of 81 over his wing oppo-

We have sincerely deplored the existence of the
divisions in Elkhart and one or two other counties

The truth late various States have been
very unfortunate for the wing party. In framing State
constitutions have go back TO the first principles
OF Government and thus thousands OF wings ind out that
their politicians and leaders very unsound IN their ell
emenary notions. Their conservatism, as they call It,
suspicion of the first truths Of republican
such suspicious. They are democrats in principle
sonan debaucheryn in politics. They disciples Of
Jefferson themselves. In such contests, old bunker
Wings who control the general policy OF the wing party,
show the cloven foot Of federalism Hence they are
routed before the people whenever constitution is

cret of wing failure in such strong wing States
The people wings and when the real test comes,
they rebel, they did in Kentucky and Ohio, and
in Vermont; and as they will do everywhere.
Besides ask what satisfaction intelligent wing
can have in rejecting upon the conduct Of his party He
abored hard to elect wing President. The wings have
control of the federal and what has that
government done? This whig administration has demon
allied its party whose very instincts disregard
ed in the nomination for President. The party torn
pieces by opposite sentiments and peges in opposite
sections of the Union. The administration met op
