CAMPAIGN of 1852!
WEEKLY STATE SENTINEL.
Only Forty Cents for the Campaign, TO
Clubs of Twenty-FNe!!
NOW is THE ACCEPTED TIME. .

The Presidential Campaign of 1852 is about com
mencing, and it is the duty of Democrats - give
the papers advocating their principles the widest
possible circulation.
In the ensuing political contest the enemies of the
principles of Democracy, who misgoyern the
nation, win put forth their utmost energies to con-
tnue their power. Every appliance known to parti-
san warfare will be used to retain corrupt dynasty
in the administration of the General Government.
Democrats should meet these efforts with prompt,
energetic, determined resistance, by every hOnora-
bic means; and among these, none so effective Is
offered to them as the circulation among the people
of Democratic journals, the columns of which are
devoted the dissemination of those great political
truths which are the basis of the party's Organiza-
lion and for which it has bated since the founda-
ton Of the Government.
The Weekly Indiana State Sentinel, being much
larger paper, contains nearly twice the amount of
reading matter usually published in Campaign pa
pers; embracing political and miscellaneous articles;
and the news Of the day, by telegraph and other
sources of early intelligence. The terms of the
State Sentinel placed at the lowest possible living
figures, and our Democratic friends will be enabled,
at a cheap rate by the formation of Clubs, TO give
il a wide circulation among the people.

Political Mendacity.

We do not believe that any advantage is secured to
that political party whose organs deal in misrepresenta
ton and iasehood. The Wing papers now claiming
the election Of their candidates for Supreme Judges
solely the ground Of their superior qualifications
The Wing candidates extolled the skies, whilst
the Democrats dsparaged and misrepresented The
editor of the Nashville Republican, after dispsraging
Mr. Roache, thus speaks of Mr. Stuart the Democratic
candidate in the first District:
We place Mr. Stuart, Of Logansport, in the same
category We heard il stated that he could not gain
admission practice in the Supreme Court until the
Constitution made every man Of good moral char
acter a lawyer, Yet the Democracy desire to place
him upon the Supreme Bench! Well, there is no ac-
counting for tastes.
We copy this paragraph that the people Of the upper
Wabash may see the manner in which this Wing editor
speaks of VIM z. Stuart For fifteen years past he has
enjoyed lucrative practice in his crcuit. grad
nate of Amherst college, Massachusetts, he is a thor.
ough Scholar and lawyer he certainly stands the
head of his profession. We expected to hear all
ner of charges brought against candidates. That
line of policy-that mode of attack adopted by the
Wing Convention and ought not to be surprised at
anything but we confess did not expect to hear Mr.
Stusrt's qualifications, his capacity lawyer,
called in question II will sound strange the Wings
about Logansport, where he is known, and where his
abilities are universally admitted We had OCCASION
few days since, speak of Mr.. Howe, his Wing CON-
petitor, as sound lawyer and of talents; and
we trust party prejudices may never far lead us
estray dsparage, either the qualifications the
capacity Of any gentleman. But thing we will say
at the last election Mr. Stuart elected Represent.
alive from Wing coanty, whilst Mr.. Howe de-
feated for the same Office in Wing county. So much
for the popularity Of these gentlemen.

Mr. GREGG, as our readers know, has been assaing
Mr.. OWEN, member of the committee enroll
and publication, Of drawing rora the State Treas
ury per diem and expenses 10 which he not emit.
lied
The bitter il seems, has been biz II out, that
Mr. OWEN did not charge for single day beyond what
he was necessarily employed, while Mr.. GREooz did
charge three dollars day for five weeks during which
he was absent from the Conventions that is sos for do
ing nothing. 1t out, further, that when Mr..
OWEN had to visit Cincinnati on business Of the Conven
ton he charged not cent the State either for travel
ling expenses or for expenses while there while Mr.
GREGG who had 'st Madison, the place of his own
residence on bushes Of the Convention, charged, over
and above his per diem ave dollars for travelling exPen-
ses and five dsllars for expenses at Madison.
This is just the difference between the two The
one pirates about economy and scrupuous regard for the
public purse, and the other practices it.
One wonld think that any one, with three grains Of
prudence TO say nothing Of honesty would seruPle t"
trump mp a charge against an innocent man, for the
very offence Of which he, the VIGOROUSLY
guilty.

Five dollars for fare Madison and back, when his

Gregg i'm q Tight place.

Gregg endeavors to worm out his swindlng transac

ter giving the history of his visit Madison and the
result of that visit, he says:
"Some time after this, Mr.. Wheeler one of this Mad
son Committee, (and by the way the chairman of the
Committee on accounts, Democrat and gentleman
came to u.s. at seat, and remarked that nasmuch
the Convention had treated report rather cayaery
he thought it nothing than right that the Commit
tee should charge something to cover expenses We
told him that should leave that matter altogether

clearly entitled to mileage, and, ifthey proper to
make reasonable charge, why, We were perfectly
content The matter passed out OF our mind until Mr.
W. either handed MS the Auditors the Trea

by himself chairman Of the Committee accounts

any consequence"

only refer the Auditors Office where the original
