Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1851-07-31
The statesman.

sustained each ana every one OF tcse great measures
designed harmony and quiet the country
As Editor of the State Sentinel we have steadily de-
Tended them and the men who supported them without
regard to their location their For this, we
have called down our head opposition, more fierce
and vndctve than ever before experienced by the
Editor of any political Journal in the State Whom VIC
returned from Washington, last September, the tongue
of SANDER work to msrepresent these measures
and mpeach the motives of those who sustained them
The lion IN our path, and we made battle In the
conflict the great body of the Democratic party and the
Democratic press have been with us. Without their aid
the battle would have been easily gained by enemies
and Indiana would now present the humating spccta-
Gle OF mongrel Democracy standing the sectional
platform of opposition to the South and their peculiar
institutions which recognized by the Constitution
To oppose these and that portion of the Demo-
cracy which sustained them was the Statesman CON-
menccd. DIR. Ellis in his editorials, from the commence
ment, has fully Swallowed forth this as his policy
Speaking Of the Fugitive Slave Law, he says: 'Let in
diyduals do and say what they please but the moment
the policy of the bloody bill is fastened upon the Dcmoc-
racy of Indiana, that moment 90 into a minority.
This the policy of the SentinclOw policy is 10 repu.
date It," He here distinctly charges that the policy of
the Sentinel to fasten this feature Of the Compro-
mise on the Democracy of Indiana. If he means the
endorsement of this and the obligation of the FREQ
States to deliver up lugtves from labor, we plead guilty
to the charge. His policy is repudiate the act This
has been important issue between us from the COM
mencement. or the Fugitive Slave Law he has spoken
with the bitterness Of a Giddings Julian In an
article compmenting the views of President Simpson,
he says:
"The article here spoken Of which is so creditabe to
the head and heart of President Simpson, and to the
o. he is Inv
tatve we give below, with the single remark that when
the religious sentiment of the country arrayed against
measure; its doom sealed beyond redemption That
sentiment has been outraged in the here spokenof-
humanity bushes at the deed and the slumbering
vengeance of just and righteous God awaits its pro-
jectors."
Here an attempt array the religious sentiment Of
the county against the law, and invoke the vengeance
of God on the head of its authors. About the same
time he said ''The Lafayette Courier cry to
repeal the fugitive slave law. II rshardy necessary for
the bill 0iH be dead letter in the Statute Books
Here is open declaration that the people of Indiana
will disregard the law and disregard their constitutional
obligation their brethren of the South He reioced
in the defeat Of long tried and faithful democrats "Thc
Compromises" says he Sat the North are catching
Jesse wherever the people get chance at them.
Phelps of Vermont, is thrown overheard like another
Jonah; Dickinson, of New York is repudiated and Gen.
Cass is 1unked in Michigan: who goes next!" The
secret prayer Of his heart that every democrat from
Indiana who a compromiser, might 90 next. That
editor with such feelings should manifest dcep inter-
est in the election of Mr.. Julian is what might he ex-
pected We have reason to complain, for by doing
he but lives up his professions We do not therefore
condemn the articles in the last number, in support of
Mr.. Julian, any more than would article in the
Journal urging the wings unite and clcc Mr. Parker
Whilst would be inconsistent for the Sentinel favor
the election of Julian would be entirely consistent for
the Statesman do We only complain Of the tenn
per of the article Cannot Auditor Ellis discuss ques-
ton with calmncss and good temperl Clothed with
official station, cannot he put the gentleman Let
him urge his ee-so brethren with much zeal pos.
sble for Julian and We should not complain but
because say Mr.. Julian is democrat, he
round and in his usual ecitous style denounces us as
follows:
'From this hot-bed of polluton-from this lowest sink
of Disqualification this of corruption-lrom
this foul embrace of Free-solism and Aboitionism-now
comes VIM ]. Brown and talks about the dishonesty Of
RI George w. Julian aud his abolition colleagues Shame
where is thy blush!"
This is the language of the when arguments fail
him. Dr. Ellis is good writer whenever he has a
good cause, but this abuse specimen of his style in
bad Hence in the advocacy of free-soers and OPP
position the old line national democrats he is often
compelled to resort to this kind of Billngsgate.
In thus pronouncing sentence US, have the
ISOLATION of knowing that it is only the sentence of DIR.
Ellis. Before to be consigned to the lowest
depths of degradation he have the verdict Of the
people Hence when he declared that he would .'drve
Bill Brown Of the State, he over-esmaed entirely
his authority. BaniShment is unknown to criminal
code, and if it not Mr. Ellis: by virtue of his
thory as Auditor of State would have right pass
such a sentence. Dr. Ellis, doubt, thinks that Mr.
Julian is much better democrat than are any
who sustans the compromise measures and he get
the whole herd of BuiIalos, that lowing and
believing and paving the earth around their leader to
certify to the Our democracy needs no endorse
ment. We have been found in every battle from 1928
up to this time The old democracy Of Indiana will do
Justice The wings will do justice in this Partcu
lar The political Jackdaws in borrowed feathers can
not njure
We stated some time since that the Statesman
sustained and supported by the recsol interest in the
State In reply the editor asserted that there not
more than three leading soil subscribers bis books.
Now this depends entirely who the editor dcnomi-
mates leaders of that party. We know that every
Der of Congress from Indiana was a subscriber the
Sentinel, except Mr. Julian and he received the States
: man. Mr. Piny Lamb, of Newton, Fountain county,
sends the following note which addressed the
editors but which they refused to publish:
!, NEwrowN, Indiana July 18th. 1851.
