EJ- Gregg, of the New Albany Tribune,
claims the result of the recent election in In.
DIANA as Wig victory He admits how
ever that the Wings had "a little help" in
effecting their purposes We are inclined to
believe Gregg is endeavoring to get up and
send out TO the public such declarations as
jokes--they are too rich for the sober truth.
But he may possibly be in earnest about the
claim; and if he is, and it be true that the re-
suit in Indiana was Whig victory, what must
the thousands of Democrats, Freesoiers, and
Know-nothings, who voted for the peoples
ticket" in good faith, think of the SLY game
which has been played off upon them?
A Whig victory in Indiana was not dreamed
Of, friend Gregg. If the Wings Of the Hoosier
State had any idea their strength was sufficient
to elect the major portion of their ticket, they
would never have consented to coalesce with
ards, the Democratic party. That the Wings
devoutly wished for such consumation we do
not doubt; nor do we doubt that they labored
hard to bring about the victory of fagends in
Indiana. They cannot, however, consistently,
claim the result as a Wing victory. In the
first place, the Wings claimed that the Demo
cratic party of the Hoosier State was corrupt
and that it should be set aside. Feeling una
BILE to accomplish so great task they pro-
posed union with the Freesoilers, Temperance
men, Anti-Nebraska Democrats, Know-noth.
ings, !" ct id omne genus" for the purpose of
bringing about reform. 1t was, then, the
united labor of all the factions in the State
which accomplished the defeat Of the major
part of the Democratic ticket, and not the
Wing party, which was merely an humble
worker in the Fusion ranks.
The Know-nothings also claim the victory
in the recent election, while the Anti ebras-
ka and Temperance men attribute the result
almost entirely to the efforts put forth by the
friends of freedom and Temperament" Even
the religious denominations claim that without
the "indomitable aid" contributed by members
Of their several churches to the "good cause
it would have been impossible for the reform
ticket to have carried the day!
A "religiotemperance" Sheet published at
Centreville, To-, makes the above claim, in
seriousness and good faith; and he seems to
rejoice greatly-almost a1aspeakably-that
"the church" has at length made its voice
heard!
The questions-"What party in Indiana
has triumphed over the Democracy7" and "To
| whom belongs the spoils?"- are miserably
mixed up in Indiana, and the factions are be-
| ginning to quarrel over them. They have, by
| their over-anxiety in claiming the credit Of
beating the Democracy, and appropriating the
spoils, shown the "cloven foot" and have
betrayed the roguery of their purposes too
plainly to be inexperienced. If the people
of Indiana are satisfied with the confessed
eharlatancy of the victors we are content.
