his language was, that he would chop cord
wood to relieve Indiana from the stigma OF re-
pudiation and to pay his share of the public
debt, if nothing else could be accomplished.
But the opponents of the Democracy, say,
that the great aim of the Fusion Legislature
was the election of a United States Senator
and who, gentle reader, do you suppose was
the favorite Know Nothing candidate for
this high station, figuring all winter at Indi-
annapolis? No other than Godloye S. 0rth,
who, as a State Senator, ran OFF from Indianap-
lis with the hope and desire that quorum Of
the Senate would be broken and the State
debt bill defeated. Comment on this is un-
necessary. Marshall, another candidate, was
a prominent actor in bringing upon the State
the debt Of sixteen millions before alluded
| To.
/ The truth, however, might as well be told.
1t is a well asceltained fact, that the Fusion
members, during the whole session, were un-
! able to agree upon a candidate or when the
name of Judge Blackfonl was sent down
from the Senate, they, in return, would have
sent up their favorite. In this way many
Fusionsts believe an election might have
been brought about They failed to meet the
Senate in its profered mode Of election, as
many relieve on account of not being able to
agsee upon a candidate, and must share the
responsibility Of postponng an election, for il
would be asking too much of an independent
bOly, like the State Senate of Indiana, to
succumb to the House in every particular.
1t is now predicted, that the election in
Kansas which takes place on the thitieth o.
the present month, will result in the election
of Legislative Assembly that will pass law
providing for the Introduction of slavery int,
that territory. The prediction will not b
verified by the reality. The first Legislature
of Kansas will either pass law in opposition
to the introduction of slavery, or they will pas
no law on the subject; most probably the lat
