What. up7-Gov. Wright Ousted.

What in the world can mean the following
paragraphs, one from the State Sentinel, and
the other comments upon the Sentinel's para
graph by the Cincinnati Enquirer? We re-
spectfully call the attention of our Anti-Amer-
lean Old Line Democratic friends to the
following:
The local columns of the Sentinel have, for
the past few days, been filed with pufs OF
Governor Wright's speech at the New York
State Fair. These pg68 were selected by the
Governor himself and published at his request
and during our absence from the city inserted
in the local department of the paper, against
our wishes and much to our regret as we
desire above all things to avoid the charge of
having been the medium through which
most arrant demagogtse has blown the trumpet
of his own vanity and demagogueism.-
Had we been at home the articles should not
have appeared on our side of the paper.
Ind. Sentinel, 28t
We always suspected Governor Wright of
being plausible but surface trickster, ambi-
tious of climbing away beyond the height of his
merits; but did not give him credit for such a
trifing weakness and selfsufficiency as the
Sentinel has exposed. When we heard that
he remarked, once on a time, that the fugitive
slave law never should be executed in Indiana
while he was Governor, and soon after came
round so far as to hold all as infidels who OPP
posed it, we set him down as a charlatan; but
we did not estimate him SO cheaply as he
seems by the SentineI's exposure to have esti-
mated himself Il Governor putting himself.

Again we ask-what's up? Have the anti
American party in Indiana found it absolutely
necessary for success hereafter to disown Gov.
Wright? Or has the Bright faction at last,
after a battle of years, overwhelmed the Wright
clique? What's up? We thought Governor
Wright great enough demagogue to please
any party. For years and years he has been
drawing the wool over the eyes of "the De-
mocracy," and trucking, whining and flatter-
into secure their votes. He has been the
Yery leader of Democracy" in Indiana for
years, and in spite of the efforts of the Bright
faction, has ruled and controlled his party, and
been twice placed in the highest Office they could
give him But now, the Sentinel is boiling
over with wrath because in the absence of its
principal editor this "arrant demagogue" has
been putting himself in it's columns And
that leading anti-American paper, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, has very suddenly discovered
that Gov. Wright is "a plausible but surface
trickstes," and deals with him accordingly
The Sentinel and Enquirer must therefore
give as great credit for sagacity, as we have
been at intervals declaring Wright demagogut
and trickster for year past, and have as one
consequence reveled in great deal Of homes
Democratic abuse. But as there was no USE
of us trying to convince his party that Wrigh
is such a man, SO will those Anti-Americanl
sneering at him, find it difficult to convine,
their followers that Wright is anything elst
than political saint. His demagoguery ha,
been too artfully smooth and oily to be over
thrown at once by the abuse or sarcasm o
leaders in his own party If Bright has founc
his match in Wright the little Normans Of tn
party may well conceive they have their hand
full in trying to put down the arch-hypocrit. w
shall regard this Wright crusade with grea
deal Of interest believing that when thievin
politicians of the same party quarrel, homes
men may stand some chance of securing thei
rights.
