Not TO be Caught.

We clip the following from the True Democrat, the
organ Of the Free-sOil party in Indiana:

Mr. B. 10 held up a convert TO Whggery from

that he for Van Buren, in l84S, and IT is equally
true that he has not acted with the party since. He
was in the Free-so Convention held Indianapolis in
January I849 and endeavored transfer the party to
the Wings. Failing in this, he has nothing TO do with
the party.
view to Free-sol votes, not much for himself
for Scott, but very much mistake the true Demo-
cracy Of that district if they will be caught in any such
trap We do believe they will vote either for John
H. Bradley or Gen. Winfield Scott.
