This is a semi-monthy paper published by the Grand
Division Of the Sons of Temperance of the State Of In
diana. II issued from the press of the Indiana State
Journal in this city, and edited by G. Woodland, G s.
The Sons Of Temperance in Indiana are composed Of
I both Wings and Democrats and have heretofore a
body, opposed all connexon with politics, and deep
ly regret that the editor, who is ultra whg, should
have suffered his political feelings far to prejudice and
bias his Judgment as induce him write the follow.

estate SENATE
"LEvI L. ToDD, Whisleu Democrat, is elected Sena
tor from this county, fill the vacancy occasoned by
the resignation Of the Hon. Nicholas McCarty, Tem-
peTGHce Whig.'
A more fragrant outrage on truth was never perpe
rated, by corrupt partzan press in the most heated
Of political conflicts. Levi l.. Todd is gentleman of
high character, member of the Presbyterian Church,
and man of strictly temperate habits To apply to
him the appelation of Whisky Democrat" is foul
and unmitigated SANDER, unworthy the organ of the
Sons of Temperance. ntended for political ef

what will those who unacquainted with these gen.
tleman naturally infer from this articlel The infer
will be that Capt. Todd is noisy, brawlng, whis

far his habits concerned the fact and
that Nicholas MeCarty is the very pink of Temperance
and order. We make charge against Mr.. McCarty.
He is neighbour and personal friend, and justice
to him compels to to say that he dscounenances all
such claptrap of obtaining votes. But his cleo

prostitutes the organ Of the Sons of Temperance TO
such vile party purposes II Mr.. McCartyis entitled

Capt Todd with equal Justice be styled temperance

The Rev. Mr.. Kavanaugh attempted reform the 1
