has issued proclamation to the Democracy
relative to the sheriffality! 1t is signed by
his oUn name, and therefore calculated to
have prodigious influence. If the name
of John the LIST don't make every thinking
Democrat shake off his boots, and humbly
drop in the dust at his feet, then John EVIL
IDENTIFY has mistaken his own Importance
This manifesto is a remarkable one. tits
headed by the name of an old Democrat, and
who has been placed in responsible ofaces
by his brother Democrats, and enjoyed their
their full confdence--and signed by the name
of a political Don Quixote, which name the
Democracy of Vanderburgh county had new
er heard of fifteen months ago. The latter
Democrat No. says he has waited as long
time as he deemed it necessary for the other
Democrat, No.2,to come out and deny a GER
tain charge made against him, and as No.
hasn't made this denial, he, No. l, deems it
his duty to express his earnest conviction
that No. is not worthy of the confidence Of
the Democratic party. (No. 2 might retail
late that charge very handsomely No. l
therefore tells the Democracy not to support
No. 2, but to support his Wing opponent
No. signs his name to this important man
ifes.o, but should by all means have closed
in the Santa Anna benedictum- -"God and
Lberty!'
How important this proclamation is. may
be conceived by the remark Immediately un-
der, made BY the "acting editor" that it was
issued after "mature consideration, as the
only means of preventing Know Nothing
triumph" 1. e., the election of No. 2. That
is, all the editorials of Shallow Pan Win
dy" (made under the dictation Of Gen.
LaneD all the influence Of No. 2's opponents
charges, all else that has been done, must be
Intellectual TO defeat the formidable No. 2,
and therefore after "mature consideration
this proclamation was issued as the only
means of crushing No.2 1t is singular that
nobody but the editors of the Enquirer ever
dreamed before of the Importance in this lit
tie political world, Of the man whose name
heads paper he is incapable of editing, and
who is therefore compelled to leave his en-.
tire editorial department in the hands of an
other person. How has he attained to this
proclamatory, manifestorial Importance
How has he SO suddenly secured such i'm
mense influence with the Democratic party
that his proclamation is the only means OF Sc.
curing the defeat Of what he calls Know
Nothing candidate, yet who is a good ant
tried Democrat! Bless Us, Me had no ide,
our remarkable neighbor was quite 80 remar
kable. We had always thought him good
natured easy soul, incapable Of much goo'
or Of much harm, but content to act as pub
Usher of his paper, leaving all the labors
responsibilities and influence of the editoria
department with another individual. But
appears we are mistaken. Our neighbor i
a mighty man, and his proclamation is tn
only means Of the Democratic party in Van
derburgh county being set right, and mad
to act accordingly. Heaven help our igno
rance, we shall have to treat him with great
er respect hereafter. We shall certainl.
the Congressional candidates, and after tina
is done, another on the subject of the Stat
election-and most certainly a third, at tn
proper time, telling the Democracy whor
they must support for the Pres dency. TIL
Democracy can now rest perfectly easy
They have not now any thinking to do
John B. Hall will take candidates into ''ms
ture consideration" then tell the Democra
cy whom to back and whom to backside.-
They may consider the country safe, for
mighty man has it in keeping. God an
Liberty!
I'm these remarks we do not wish TO b
considered as saying one word in defence
No. 2 or against his opponent. We pledge
ourself to neutrality, and we intend to able
by that pledge. Both gentlemen have 6lls
the office of Sheriff worthily, and neithe
we are confident, would ever betray the CO
dence of friends Let them run upon the
own merits. The Enquirer has forgotten
pledge of neutrality. 1t first warmly oPpo
ed one candidate, now it is as warmly o
posing his opponent. We suppose this ma
be considered kind Of sarmed neutrality
