charged with it he becomes mad viper in dog days,
and Kisses aAd snaps everything around him. Dur
ing our absence in Washington the last winter, Mr..
Bolton, Assistant and the worthy and popular
Librarian, wrote paragraph during last winter, init
mating that the skirts of the Auditor not entirely
clear Of Abolitionism. To which he replied in the fol-
lowing Auditorial and ElssOnian style
II the lying skunk has ever seen anything like Abo-
ltonism in columns let him point 1t If there
any evidences that paper is the organ of the
Abolitiouists, let him produce them. There is not
line a word record that convict of Adolf
tOnsm, and the lying dog knew it when he wrote the
paragraph"
In the ehaste Cd and elegant % style he still
continues to deny that he ercr uttered reeso senti-
in his life; and roundly afirms that he is, and
always has BEEN in favor of the compromise
In late number of his paper, alludng to heapprOach
ing State Convention, he says:
% So far political opinions concerned,
a word nor 4 line can be found on record inconsistent
with the true principles Of democracy taught by the
fathers. We have warned the democracy against new
tests, and interpretations in the party creed We have
conended for the faith in its pury-or toeration for
concession, for fobearance and have been gratfed

the party the u S. Senate and elsewhere The fate
Of individuals is of little consequences but it is of vast
moment that the democratic creed should be preserved
inviOate, and that dictator should introduce shb
bOleth to distract and divide US"

Of the % Indiana Statesman hailed by the free
sellers throughout the State important auxiliary
their cause. The only member of Congress who
ceived the " Statesman during the last session,

We opposed the nomination of DR.. Ellis for
Auditor, not because he has INDUCED in low and
vulgar personalities unbecoming gentleman; not be-
he has endeavored suppant and break down
the ferces opposition ragged against the compromise
measures, he then fighting with the enemy and

necessity, the justice and policy of these
That he did the record proves Out of his mouth
will we condemn him.
Before he commenced the publication of the States
man." as a correspondent of the Goshen Democrat,
he declared that the proposition of the Compromise
Committee IS bill of ABomNAr1oNs."
Ia the first number of his paper he ridculed the idea
that the Union could be endangered by conflict with
Texas, but prefer to quote his language:
~ We are in favor Of compromises when there is moth
ing stake, but questions OF policy pecunary inter-
est but to compromise a principle, to perpetuate a
wrong, chain the living TO the dead is unbecOming
christian statesman"
On the 1lth Of September, in the second number of
his paper speaking of the passage of the Texas bOun-
dairy bill, he says:
. This was the most OBNOXIOUS wheel in the Omni-
bus-a DOWNRIGHT PLUMBER of the national treasury
On the 25th of September, just after the passage of
the Fugitive Slave Law in reference that measure he
remarks:
There necessity for the passage Of such
law. insulting the common and humanity of
the North and our surprise is that any in whose
veins the blood Of freeman, could be found
for it."
He published at full length the structures of Rev. NJ
Simpson the law, and says:
When the religious sentiment of the country is array
ed against measure its doom is sealed beyond redem
tiOn That sentiment has been outraged in the act here
spoken Of Humanity bushes at the deed and the sIuia-
being vengeance Of just and righteous God Goas its
projectors.
And declared that "the writ of habeas corpus was a
mockery of Justice VILE FRAUD unworthy Govern
which makes its first duty the protection of its
citizens"
The following paragraph which appears in the paper
Of the Pad of OCTOBER less than month after its COM
mencement, is very significant:
The Lafayette Courier raises the cry repeal the
Fugitive Slave bill. 1t is hardly necessary for the bill

From the Indiana Statesman Of November 90 Here
he goes the whole figure in the Julian and Giddings
style:

From the same paper:
FAIR NARNING.-The Democracy of Indiana
should take warning from the result of the elections in
Massachusetts, New York, Michigan and Wisconsin,
and avoid committing themselves TO the policv Of the
Fugitive Slave Bill Let individuals do and say what
they please, but the moment the policy of the bloody
bill Il fastened upon the Democracy of Indiana that
moment we 90 into minority. This is the policy Of
the Sentinel-our policy is to repudate it.
