MEssRs EDtroRs: Col r. w. Thomp son
one of the most eloquent and able orators Of
the "old Wing Guard" of Indiana, ad.
dressed large crowd of our citizens on
Saturday last against the aims and designs
OF the AboEtionist Convention, of July l3.
lie spoke three hours and forty minutes
and with an eloquence and power never
4 surpassed. The false positions of Judge
; Morton and Mr.. Lewis D Campbell, in their
! speeches here, were most triumpnqnrly y
verthrown, and the hig h national character
Of the old Whig party more than vindicated.
Going back to tile formation of the Con
sttuton, with book il hand, he demonstra-
ted that while Virginia denounced the AT
ricsn slave trade, and voted to arrest it at
once, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
! Hampshire, by their votes prolonged its
ae(arlouS life full twenty years, thus adding
hundreds Of thousands OF poor Africans to
the dominion of what is now cantingly de-
nominated the "Slaye power" The with,

Aboli!ionists, who glory in the new light
of New England could be more easily i'm
lgined than described.

cipIes of the Government" By reference to
dhe contest Of 1910, and the opinions Of
Harrison and Clay, from both Of which he
,uotei largely. Mr. Clay's definition OF
An aboitionist, as as.expressed in his speech
of 1889 in the Senate, fitted SO exactly the
Itavipgs of the present fanatics, that the
Sage Of Ashland, prophetic as he was in
many things, seemed more than gifted with
lis true spirit. Many honest Wings, led of
to the fold Of the deceiver by the senseless
cry Of "Slavery encroachment,, had their
eyes opered % the false and base iss, made
/ by the Abolition Convention, the on lin, 8
which has been predicted by Mr.. Clay,
years ago.
The richest exposition of the day was
the reading of handbill published in $40
and signed by several of the most slin-
suisbed Vigo Fusionists ofthe present time
IN which Martin Van Buren, was proved to
o. an AtoIiIoulst because be favored the
Missouri Restriction and the Compromise of
1929! In the same handbll signed by the
same gentleman, Gen. Harrison was held
up as true patriot and a true Republican,
because he voted to admit Missouri wi h
| Slavery, and against the Compromise of
1920! This was poser but there was the
/ paperIn point, and there was the names
signed to it! 1t was, indeed, terrible.
lwish all the people of Indiana could
hear Thompson in defence of the ghts Of
the people to make their own laws, and in
/ defence of the ancient faith cf the Wing fa-
thers. While many of the smaller leaders
have gone off to the Abolition fanatics,
Col. Thompson and many others will stand
by the written law and be true TO all our
Constitutional obligations. Dqn't fear old

OF Indiona.
No man ever labored more faithfully,
gallantly and successfully for the old whig
cause than Dick Thompson, Of Inligna.-
Many speech in the good old times did
he make in this city to help our Wing
friends here out of a scrape, and many a
battle edid we WELD against him to par
ry his thrusts. Able, eloquent, ready as
arace horse to take the bit and bo off for
his Wing friends, yet he had the faculty
of never losing his temper or his balance,
and so everybody, friend or foe, liked Dick
Thompson, among whom we were one
We are right glad, therefore, to see him
at last battling on the right side, and doing,
as we know he will, full justice to the cause
He was member Of Congress from his
State for great number of years, though
yet, comparatively young man.
His historical researches into the musty
doings of the Wings in 1910, in hand bin.
ing Nr. Van Buren for favoring the Mis-.
souri, compromise, &c, is among the rich
developments of Fusion absurdilies. We
