in late editorial:
"We are entering upon new political era
in Indiana. Fifteen or twenty thousand old
line Wings will vote with us for the first time,
and it is important that the candidates should
be men who will inspire their confidence and
respect"
1t certainly would be "a new political era
IN Indiana" for fifteen or twenty thousand
Wings to vote with the old Locofoco party
an era which may be expected just about the
time of another Noah's food. This precious
party has certainly been recommending itself to
honest old Wings lately! 1t has been taking
refreshing means indeed, to secure the assis-
lance and votes of men, who their whole lives
have honestly sustained principles directly
antagonistcal of those of the party which has
so signalized itself by abusing and blackguard-
ing the men and principles of the Wing party
Probably these Old Liners expect Wings to
join them by thousands, from pure and high
wrought admiration of the latest model DEM
ocratic Administration! Perhaps they think
the very men who so zealously labored to pre-
vent the election of Pierce, have during the
Pierce Administration become convinced by its
immaculate purity, wondrous achievements,
and magnificent home and foreign policy, that
they committed a most grievous error in
opposing so much virtue, goodness, and
genious, and are now willing to PROSTATE them
selves in the dust of repentance, and give evil
dence of the sincerity of this repentance, by
hereafter voting with the Administration par
ty.
Or perhaps, dropping from National to State
affairs, these Old Liners deem it impossible
that old Wings should look and reflect upon
the beautiful action of the Old Line party in
last winters Legislature, and not at once pro-
coed TO express their high admiration of
modern Democracy, by going hence forth and
forever the whole hog Old Line ticket They
probably think they have commended them
selves to the admiration of old honest Wings
in an irresistible manner, by illustrating how
reckless and disgraceful minority, with no
principles above demagogue partyism, could
clog the wheels of legislation whole session
could prevent the election by the majority of
a u. S. Senator, and thus limit in the present
Senate Indianas representation to one Sena-
tor-could prevent the enactment Of an Appor-
tionment Law and thus throw the State into
condition of revolution-could prevent those
representing the majority of the people of the
State from achieving any great good for those
whom they represented 1t is very likely
indeed, that this precious party. led by as ras-
cally gang of political scamps, office holders
or ofice-seekers every fellow of them, as ever
disgraced a State or party, and with their
recent acts fresh in the memory of the peoples
can so claim the admiration and respect of old
Wings, as to induce Fifteen or twenty thou
sand' of them to vote for and with this party,
and for the elevation of these greedy dema-
gogues Very likely, indeed-and its quite as
likely fish will swallow the moon, and the dish
jump over the spoon. And it is very likely
too, that the Old Line candidates may be mer
who twill inspire the confidence and respect
OF these old Whigs-Willard, for Governor
a man who to secure the nomination has found
it absolutely necessary to pledge himself not
to get drunk so long as he is Governor If cleo
ted-RobinSon, for the same Office if it should
be concluded to run Willard for Senator as
NOTORIOUS d poHliCdl oiiChSuhiu dS was SfSi
stirred to the surface from the black dregs o
the most corrupt politics-Hall, Secretary o
State man who has not the ability to make
a respectable secretary to a village debating
club, and whose morals are infinitely below
his abilties-and so on down, if lower depth
can be reached Old Wings will no doubt be
overwhelmed with the inspiration of confidence
and respect called from them by these Old
Line candidates.
We hope to hear no more such insults offered
to the old Wings Of this State. If they do no
understand their own position they do that o
the Democratic party. They at least know, tha
the abominable corruptions by which that par
ty always has been surrounded, or which hav,
clustered around those who lead it, are no les
now than when the Wing party was alive ant
in full vigor, and denounced these corruption
with all the zeal the fostering rottenness of tn
evil demanded. They know that the tru'
s'principles'' Of this party are precisely nov
what they were years ago--o6ice and spoils-
and knowing this, it is not probably they vii
help secure the success Of these principles tt
their old enemies, when such success is tn,
defeat of national principles, law, order ant
decency.
