Persecution.

Auditor Ellis is trying very hard 10 convince the peo
pie that he is prosecuted " indioidual." Hear what
he says Of prescriptions"
s.The Auditor of State must be proscribed-and whyl
What evil hath he donel He has protested against in
terpolatng the -hOnored creed OF the Democratic
party He has maintained that the Dem nratI party Is
party of principle and of policy He has asserted
that question OF slavery is ought to be attest oil De-
mocracy. He has protested Against driving men from
the party account oil their peculiar notions on the
subject Of slavery. He has declared his readiness TO
support men for office without regard TO their opinions
upon any OF the compromise lie has declared
his opposition to having any gag adopted IN the State
Convention"
Every defeated Wing in the State hight set up the
same claim for sympathy II Ellis is prescribed it will
be because his political opinions not in accordance
with the views and opinions Of the great body of the
great Democratic party Gov Wright, in his late mes
sage says:
'She Indiana favors not will she by her votes
counenance those who favor the opening airesh in any
manner under any pretence the questions recently
and happily disposed of, let hope forever Our
duty is paIn abide by the past sustain the faith
Egence and patriotism Of the people, under the guidance Of

Does any Democrat in the State desire stronger ar.
gument against the nomination of Dr. Ellis for office
of Auditor Of State than is to be fond in the above ex
tractl If Governor Wright should be nominated. he
will 90 before the people the broad platform laid
down in his message; and no man can be elected who
will say or do less. With Wright for Governor and
Ellis for Auditor should present beautiful picture
of political consistency The former advocating the
compromise measures. fugitive slave law and all, the
latter opposing them opposed to human freedom"
and declaring that the regOus sentiment Of the country
lcas outraged" (pious soul) and that 'the Slumberng
vengeance Of Just and righteous God auaed IFS pro-
jectors." He (Ellis) is opposed nterpoating the
Democratic creed with the compromise measures. He
opposed to any such test and well he may be- for
der such test he could not pass muster His ulther
continuance with the party only be secured by the
utmost federation. According to his view a may he
Democrat and yet preach all the abolition doctrines of
Seward or Garrison, he only the Democratic
ticket. We think the Democratic party is party OF
principles and he cannot be Democrat who does not
endorse these principles
choose to make nominations with view secure the
Julian Freesoers the abolition party proper by fail
inc adopt any resolutions relation the adjustment
measures then DR.. Ellis would make a very good can
didate. But if they endorse these measures as we
think they should do then in opinion the nomination
of any Freesoer will be wholly incompatible and incon-
sstent with the high national position Of the gloon>
mand strong and clear resolutions against the further
agitation Of the slavery question: and they will further
demand clean unspotted ticket. That done and Indi-
will show Democratic majority in the next election
of twenty thousand.
