THE INDIANA FREE DEMOCRAT.

To the Editor Of the National Era:
/ have no desire, certainly, TO connect the
Era with any personal controversy between
the late editor of the Free Democrat and my
self; but am sure you will permit me, as a
matter of simple justice, to say a word or two
as to the extracts from the State Journal, copied
into your paper of last week.
1t is true that was among the very earliest
friends of the Anti Nebraska movement in this
State, and that, in common with Mr. Vale and
the Free Democracy generally, in our State
Convention of the 18th of last May, favored
cooperation of all parties " upon the new
issue; but at that same Convention the idea of
a union" or fusion of parties, upon that
narrow ground, was expressly voted down, and,
believe, unanimously. A resolution was
passed, endorsing the Pittsburgh platform and
on all hands the understanding was, that our
organization was to be maintained, together
with our principles, in all their length and
breadth Had Mr.. Vale, or any other Free
Democrat, at that time proposed the abandon
ment of our independent position, and the fu-
sion of all parties into one, on a platform no
broader than the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise and the discontinuance of the
Free Democrat, and transfer of its subscribers
to the Journal, with its political character un-
changed, he would have been denounced by
every Free-Soiler in the Convention. No such
thing was even dreamed Of My position was
one and the same throughout the entire cam
paign, earnestly advocating the Anti-Nebraska-
movement, but at all times opposing the dis,
banding of our organization, and the formation
of fusion party" except upon the broad
ground assumed by the People in Michigan
and number of other States.
J AS to Mr.. Wales Know Nothingism, his sub
ordinating the Anti-Slavery cause &C., have
nothing to say. 1 need only refer to his col
umns during the campaign, for the most ample
proof on this head.
One other word. Mr.. Vale says it was well
understood that he had purchased an interest
in the Journal at the time he transferred his
subscription list. admit it. This is not the
point. He had, of course, right to buy an
