Base Assertion Emphaticaiiy Denied.
The impudence of the young man who
writes for the Enquirer, and makes an ass OF
himself at Nebraska meetings, all for the
amusement of the public, in repeatedly speak
ing of this community as though nearly every
man in it were in favor of the Nebraska
measure, has rarely been equalled even IN
the rascally history Oft dozen Loco'oco edit
ors who have at various times presumed to
give voice TO the opinions of the people OF
Evansville. We consider the assertion that
this community favors said bill, an insult to
their intelligence and to their devotion to the
interests of the North, as it is in its whole
length and breadth an utter Justification. We
have no disposition TO permit such charge
against the good sense OF our people to go
abroad, without sending with it a most emphatic
denial 1.-THE writer DO not knop he is making
aPalpable mistatement, he has not sufficient
Will W WA
munity for the position he occupies. He has
already proven ridiculous ignorance OF what
the Nebraska Bill andits various amendments
are, but we fear his ignorance Of the position
of cur citizens on the subject, is more as
suned than is his ignorance on most other
matters.
The Enquirer knows very well, that the
Germans without distinction of arty, are en-
phatically against this Bill. They form
large part Of this community, and lave no
more sympathy with that paper in its posi-
ton on this question, than they had with it
in certain other one, when they publicly
and severely rebused The Enquirer. Itknows
too, that great many of its own party in
this city and vicinity, are openly opposed to
tbs NseFaakR m sasu6s ktR Ems II y 81 sSy
party, whose affinties and partialiiies are
not with the South, who do not oppose this
bill, if they express any opinion at all. How
barefaced the assertion then, that this COM
munty favors the bill, and how meanly con.
temptible the connection sought to be made
by the Enquirer of abolitionism with all oppo.
sition TO this most neiarious project to extend
the area of slavery, and TO destroy an old es-
tablished compromise to secure such an OBJ.
ject!
There should be no party lines drawn on
question of this kind. 1t is not question
between the Democratic and Wing parties,
but between the North and the South.
There is no section in TIE State less tinctur-
ed with abolitionism, than this extreme South
ern portion-but we venture to say, the peo-
pie of no other part of Indiana will be found
reader to stand up to the interests of the
North, not only on this question, but on many
others which may be sprung by political dem
agogues, and supported BY assnine editors
among US. There are always to be found in
the North plenty of dough-faces, ever willing
to back the South in any of her claims, or to
surrender to her rights belonging to the
North. 1t is not to be wondered we have
few among us, and still less that one or two
should be found at the head of Democratic |
papers. But that our people are of this class,
or that their synpathies are with these era
ven-hearted traitors, we emphatically deny.
In this question, the North should stand by |
her own interests. The South, as usual, is |
united, and she is using every effort, fair and
foul, to win votes and influence in the North
for me asure, in which the North has not the
slightest thing to gain and perhaps much 20
lose. Shall we bow the knee TO her! Shall
We follow the lead Of miserable dough-faces,
who tell the South-ask anything, and you
may have it! Shlll we permit Southern
men among US, to dictate to US what we must
do, under the penalty or threat of being call
Ell abolitionists. We scorn, es should every
Northern man scorn, all such interference
from them, as we despise the dictaton Of
Northern dorgh-faces.
