Col McCarty's political speech was decidedly rich
affair. He endorsed Gov. Wnghts administration, and
thought he had made ercelleif Governor As the

conclusion from his position upon the Compromise

success through the aid of Abolition and Catholic votes

National Wings of Indiana will always be led by
Abolitionists. They aware that men judged by
the company they keep. only hope that Col McCarty
may find it convenient to visit every county in the State
and make such speeches as he made here. He could
easily assimate his vote the given in opposition
to negro exclusion OF the last election.
