Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1851-10-30
From the Washington Union.
Senator Seward and the two Party Organs of
Indiana.

We extract the following statement and comment
from the central State organ OF the wing party OF dnd
ana-the Indiana State Journal. Our readers will
member that the State Sentinel is the central organ Of
the democratic party of that State:
FREE-soIL cANDIDATE.-The New York Journal of
Commerce suggests the name OF Hon. w ii. Seward
party for President in the next election He would be
strong candidate, and would the almost entire
whig vote Of the northern StaIes.-State Sentinel.
Governor Seward is and always has been a whig,
and it is all probable that he will ever be anything
else he is a gentleman of character and principle.
He acted with the reeso party, butt at the last
Presidential election supported Gen. Taylor with zeal
and great ability He did much any other man TO
give New York him, and he will do much any
other man to give to whoever may be the whig eand
date in l852.-StGte Journal
Ii is generally claimed that the wing party of Indiana
as little dbOlfiORised tho whg party O any Stale
Of the North. Ii is certainly usually deemed to be far
less aboltionized than the whg party of many of the
northern States Yet the above of Senator Seward
by the leading organ of the whlg party there surely
shows that the abolition tant upon Indiana whiggery is
deep, and likely to he lasting. IL will be remembered
that in the last Congress Senator Stewards abotonism
carried him far to that Nc Mereo should be
admitted State into the Union, plainly by
reason of the fact that the instrument got under the
lead OF the officials of the federal government and pur
porting he her constitutions contained clause prohib
itng slavery. The vote taken, and MIR. Stewards
Gye stood alone in its glory against some lorty NOES
His last ukaSe his whg followers is his letter against
the fugitive law in which he declares
First That the law is hagrantly unconstitutional
Second That the execution of the fugitive law is the
transfer of the social economy of the South into the
northern States and is therefore with the connu
of the Union;
And thirdly The letter makes reference whatever
the execution obligation Of the clause OF the con-
stituton commanding the restoration OF the fugitive
slaye thus leaving the plain inference that Mr. Seward
excludes this clause from the constitution which he is
sworn to support
And this is the Senator who, the central organ OF
the wlg party in New York some weeks ago assured
US had the wings OF that State at his back counting up
his " ninety-fve members of the whig legislature, his
hundred whig presses" his nine-tenths Of the whig
voters Of the State and who, finally has in his in
terest and his back the entire whg organization OF
the State at this tmo united upon platform dictated by
him. and so dictated be justly demon 1ced by the
ablest whig journals Of the southern country ia cheat
a subterfuge and a for the Southw This is the
senator who is now embraced and gored by the lead
ing State organ Of the Indiana wings having been the
most influential whig leader in New York in 1s4S, and
the man upon whose exertons and lead than upon
those OF any other leader the wings must count in their
presidential struggle IN 1852
Can southern wings cooperate in party organized
and led at the Northl II they do SO, do they most
hagrantly betray their section, and leopard the whole
social system in which they have been rearedl
