The Last Resort.


The Indiana Journal of Wednesday contains long
article to show that Governor Wright in favor of the
doctrine of nterventiOn as advocated by KOssuh and
to convict Governor Wright of extreme opinions, the
editor quotes the following extract from the Sentinel of
February last:
g That Kossuth had said that the English people were
ready yea wiling unite with the United States and
the civilized world, in preventing the Interference Of
any third party government contest between the
subjects O any government and the government ITSELF
Ii this be true, he said, should not hesitate for
ment in throwing all moral, and if need be, PHYSI-
CAL FORCE, favor of this great princple-the right
oil any people to change their own form OF government
to change their rulers and laws whenever they become
oppressive That in all such conflicts third party
should be permitted to nterere that he believed that
union of Great Britain and the United States upon this
principle would do preserve the peace Of the
world and in advancing the true progress Of freedom
than any movement of the day. This is Gov Wrght's
position. 1t is the position OF the State Sentinel.
We still maintain this position National frmness
and decision often prevent war. When the Republics
OF South America revolutionized when modern Greece
struggled for liberty the sympathy of our nation was
aroused, than the great American states
Henry Clay. Every effort for freedom in Ireland
any part of the old world, has and will excite lively
interest for This is the pulse that beats in
unison with the American heart, and Wing politicians
can't stop it.. Nobody thought Of involving this
country the war between Hungary and Austria. We
hold that every people by nature have the nalenable
right alter amend abolish, their form of gov
ernment, and TO substitute such forms will be
conducive their interest and that other nation
ought to interfere Any other doctrine would extin
gush the last hope of the friends Of freedom in the old
world This government should neither pledge itsel
for against intervention but be governed by crcum
stances they arise. Intervention may become
sary measure Of our national safety Suppose
France Austria, and Russia, should combine against
Great Britan-creumstances might make it necessary
TO interfere for safety. general war in Europe
would require the vigilance preserve ourselves.
And circumstances alone must determine these great
questions as they arise. Because Governor Wright
sympahises with the oppressed Of Europe and because
he would rejoice when the last Throne should tumble
dust that any he should be elected Governor
of Indiana God bless and my lOie my John
and his rife four and no more is selfish prayer,
(which uttered by Joseph A. Wright. l''
The Jonrna concludes its article with the resolution
of the Wing National Convention, as follows: 'ali

question avowed by them at the Baltimore Conyen-
ton, as set forth in the following resolution ,g
