the next election place in power the Party that held
the rens Of government from 1881 to 1913, who during
that time brought the State the verge of bankruptcy
and ruins Will the people again place that party in
power, after having tested Democrats and Democratic
princplesl Their fragrant abuse Of power and expen-
diture of the peoples money during this PERIOD has not

of SIS 900 600 fastened upon the Taxpayers general
prosration of business OF every description; the
of the State ruined with inevitable tendency
TO bankruptcy. We ask now, if the people Of Indiana
want to put this party Id power again!
1t is asking too much of the voters to call their
attention to this mattey,-to careful examination OF
the two periods. At the end of Wing rule in this State,
position among the grade OF States Of was at the
lowest possible degree. At this time at the end OF a
period OF little than nine years, under the guidance
Of Democratic principles what marked difference is
presented The large debt contracted by Wing rule is

These are matters that should be examined by the
voters before casting their favor of the Wing

from showing any cause for the change. objection

l7Some genius, who calls himself " Amercus," is
writing for the Journal series of dull articles upon the
tariff. He seems to be trying TO persuade the people
that the only left TO them Of escaping bankruptcy
beggary and ruin is to manufacture and consume every
thing within ourselves, neither exporting importing
either agricultural manufactured products-n Short
that should adopt the commercial policy of the ia
panese, only making exclusiveness little more ri
gid than that people have made theirs.
Will Americas read the following statement, which
is below rather than above the reality and then inform
bis readers how many manufactures would have to be
established furnish market FOR the agricultural pro-
ducts Of Indiana alone; and, if sufficient number of
manufactures were established, what would be done
with the articles manufactured. Them il he has tme we
should like know what number Of manufactures would
be sufficient furnish market for the agricultural pro-
diets Of the whole Unon and what would be done with
the produce OF the manufactures if such number of
them was in existence Would the people not then be
called upon to furnish market for manufactured And
where would such market be foundl
The statement is by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, than
whom no man is better informed as to the agricultural
capacities Of our State
" II million Of people shoula annually pour into the
State Of Indiana for fifteen years the soil would sustain
them. II kernel of grain were raised in another

% The New York Courier and Enquirer rejons as
follows to Mr. Clays late manifested favor of Mr. Fill
the Wing candidate for the Presidency. We
commend the special consideration of all those Wing
papers that just deeply engrossed with De-
mocratic discords" that they have time look after
" family jars" in their own household:
"Now, we insist that Mr.. Fillmore has no claim TO
the nomination by the Wing party, except what arises
of his administration Of the government since the
death of Gen Taylor-claims which appertain quite as
much to Mr.. Webster, Mr. Critenden and Mr. Corwin,
hnlself-aad that, il nominated he could not poll
the Northern Wing vote. and would entail defeat upon
the Wing party. The Republic repudates the idea that
he would be beaten from seventy hundred thou
sand in this State, while any other Wing could
carry and yet the Editor Of the Republic well knows
that such is the plan truth We repeat that the Repub
lie is Just as well satisfied of the truth of our declaration
He kRoscs it to be true and yet, such the
character of the relations between that press and the
administration, such the want of independence which
will attach to the press at the capita-that he pre-
tends to doubt declaration"
The Albany State Register, another member Of the
harmonious Wing family thus adds its mite to the con-
cert:
"It is a little remarkable, that while the National
Wings, without exception, declare their hearty will
ingness to support Mr.. Fillmore, Mr.. Webster, Gen.
Scott any other Wing who may receive the nom
inaton of the Wing National Convention for the Pres
dency yet many Of the abolition wings declare uncom
tously, and in advance, their determination to support
man, matter how he may be presented for the suf
frages of the Wing party, who is friend to the Com
promise Of the last Congress, in any other
way obnoxious TO them and their narrow, sectional
vews.n
The Philadelphia Sun, the leading Fillmore paper in
Pennsylvania speaks thus the subject of the Pres
dency:
Party does itself justice when it dominates friedn
for high Office, and the people who elected Taylor
ard Fillmore will be unjust to themselves they fail
re-eec who has forced respect from all parties and
senced the tongue and pen of factious opposition We
have much respect for Daniel Webster, though
slider Gen. Scott as weak demagogue, who trims his
sail to catch every breeze of popular favor Out of the
immediate sphere of the influence of Senator Seward
and his foreign allies Gen. Scott has no strength and
though the transcendent abilities of Webster every
where respected, he has popular position, and can
never be layorite with the masses"
What beautiful harmony these organs make and what
brilliant prospects they give of the of the Wing
candidate, whether Fillmore, Scott or Webster
