arms :" and all such balderdash. The
Times has not a particle Of evidence TO
justify its villainous assertions, and we
distinctly and boldly charge the conduct
ors of that paper with the desire of tomen-
ting a bloody and disgraceful riot.
When we consider the terrible conse-
quences that would result from such an
occurrence, il does appear as II some steps
ought to be taken 10 infliCt severe and
condign punishment upon the scoundrel
who. in order TO exasperate and infiame
the passions Of The public, wrote The in
cendiary article which we have copied
into our columns. 1t is true, as the Times
states. that one great cause oil the massa-
ere Of the poor Irish woman and children
in Quinn's Row. Louisville. by the blood
thirsty Know Nothing mob, was the ~
ing story that their buildings we're stored
with arms. The same lying charge is
made beforehand by the Times here. for
similar purpose. 1t knows TINT there
is not one single particle of truth in its
assertions; that they are falsehoods made
out of whole cloth They are put in cir.
culation merely for the purpose oil giving
the gamblers and shoulder hitters, ami
other discreditable persons connected with
the Know Nothing organization. the pre-
text for resorting TO outrage and violence
Now, we should tell the Times, md
all concerned. that the Democracy of this
city, composed, as it is. of both native and
adopted citizens will maintain their rights
and resist aggression at all and every haz
ard. II the Times thinks the Democracy
will be overridden. as they were last
spring, it is greatly mistaken. There is
a spirit OF cal I'm determination existing on
their part which it would be folly for
their opponents to arouse into action.

The Old Liners herea bouts have been
Boosting that Hon. R. w. Thompson had
come out in favor OF their "blessed prin.
ciples." We know that Col. T. is not
the man do such thing. The Terre
Haute american has the following para.
graph. which will relieve our friends OF
ali sSch hopes:- VincenEes Gazette.
Col. Thompson will just as soon cut
his own throat literally, as to join the
Old Line Whisky Party. Col. T. is de-
termined to do battle for a National
characterization of this Government. and
leave sectional agitation TO Sulgrove,
Vale, Seward, Chase and Co."
If Col. T. will do this much, he will
enatle himself to the gratitude of his
countrymen. When sectional sgitations
and secret organizations are wholly dis.
earded from truly american platform.
there are thousands who are now driven
from love of country aud pure patriot.
ism. IL act with the old line parties, that
would most cheerful.y do battle under
such a banner. But the determination OF
the seceders at the Philadelphia Conven.
tion to abolitionise by means of secret
organizations, the entire North. settled
tie determinations of many-ours (be
them ever so humble and unpretending)
amongst the number.
Col. Thompson advocates the doctrine
Of popular sovereignty. and opposes Sec
tional agitation and secret political or
ganizations. and these are as good evil
d,sCss as we want Of the nationality aud
genuine Democracy OF his views. As par
ties are a. present organized in Indiana,
he cannot accomplish his m easures i'm any
osher way than by voting. for the present,
with the Old Liners.

Won't Fuse.

The Indiana Herald, of whose politi.
cal instability we spoke week or SO ego,
gives US another lecture. telling q few
Abs by the way. which do not at all dis
tuFb our equilibrium, and concludes in
this way:
Owe are not much of a politician just
now, We expect 10 wal; until the hum
bag parties. which have recently sprung
mp, like so many mushrooms. have run
their course and expired by limitation.
We will then look for a reorganization OF
the old Wing party. on the substantial
basis of opposition to whatever is objec-
tienable In she administration Of the AZ
fairs of tho Government. When that is
done, it will not be very difficult mat
ter to find US. We very confidently look
for this result at no distant day. Uatil
that time, we are content TO remain "A
loekeE-on in Vienna" t
Thigpaper fused last year with unusu.
al zeal, but now says they were humbug
organizations, and intends to wait until
they "have run their course and expired
BY limitation"
This is saying more for our sagacity
than we had thought of claiming. That
paper took great exceptions 10 our course
an opposing the fusionis;s. and seemed to
be considerably fre,ted because We did
not make the same leap in the dark tina
i. did, and thus place ourself under tn.
same necessity of recanting. So. Mr.
Herald. you are certainly year behint
Us in refusing to fuse. You did fuse--w,
never did. Whose course is the mos
consistent?
