SATURDAY MORNING. JAN. PC, 1856.
The Fusion Cali for their Convention
The Fusion State Central Committee have
made a call fora State Convention Of their
forces, en- masss, on the FIRST day Of May next,
at indianapolis.
We have never read 4 more frOthy, windy,
INSCRIPTIONS and mendacious proclamation.
1t is the very best specimen Of an illustration
Of the old STOP THIEF" story we have
ever met with. Every point upon which
these Fusionists. find themselves araigned,
they attempt to escape BY reversing the
charge upon the Democracy.
These men who are continually striving by
the agitation of the slavery question to en-
gender strife and sectional feeling between
the Northern and Southern States, are here
complaining of the government for justify
ing s~ectionalism. This is the heighto of impu-
deuce, unsupported by a shadow Of evidence.
These men condemn the Constitution Of the
United States and r~epudiate a~nd.opPose the
laws Of Congress enacted under it, and turn
round and charge the national Executive
with similar conduct. This IS most I'M
blushing SANDER. Let them read the mes
slge of the President communicated to both
houses Of Congress, on the Oath ult., respect
ing the troubles in Kansas, and they will
there find that he very properly and boldly
condemns the lawless action of the Missouri
mOb0crOts in their attempts to interfere with
the sovereign rights of tho people of Kansas
The mex piece Of subliVated hypocricy is
Tor them to speak Of athreats of disunion and
~auusaeationo as applicable to the Democra-
vcratic statesman, or even a lie
3Il<4lEe voter, is in favor of disunion. No
man of the party. of good standing dare at
this time hint that he is in favor of nullifi-
cation. 1t is the peculiar province and plea
sure at such politicians of the real Abolition
school, as Wade, Chase, Hale, Seward, Gid
dings, Garrison, Phillips, Fred. Douglass and
Horace GroeIy 20 become the propagandists
of the doctrines of disuniOn and sectional
ISM. of treason to the Constitution, and of hos
tile resistance to the laws of our country.
Their diminatiye satellites in Indiana are
equally venomous and vicious, but infinitely
less potent and dangerous.
To come 10 the climax of mendacious in
consistency, they. these desperate leaders of
their routed party in Indiana, assert by gen
eral implication, that the government is extrav-
agant to a degree unparalleled in It's history.
Does not this charge come with a very bad
odor from the party ofthe Galphius, the Cor
wins, and the Gardeners, who were so dis
gracefully elected from power and place in
1he election of 1852? 1t was that party that
really plundered the treasury while 1t was ii
power. The extension and growth Of oul
vast Republic requires much means to sup
port our great national wants in these times
.f high prices, but not one dollar Of an i'm
proper or dishonest appropriation Of public
money can be charged to the account of oul
worthy Secretary of the Treasury, or to. the
present administration.
Again, we should suppose that a blush o
shame would burn the hardened checks o
these calumniators, in making these charge
Of a waste of public money, when they lool
10 the House of Representative at Washing
ION. For ffty-foar days have they %revelleC
IN the public treasury, without having takel
the first step in the public business, eacl
man ofthem charging his mileage and eigh
%,lollars per day. They are in a sad dilemm
they either have not sense enough to trans
act the public business according to It's usua
forms, or they are too dishonest to trust on
another Nat4ins hut q double-dyed aboli
zionist will do for their presiding officer an
political head. 4 man who has not set beeI
able to make up his mind as to which Of tn
rlces, the negro or tire white man, is superior
Int says that time must determine the ques
ton This IS the consistency Of the Fusioi
Committees address.
They are quite consistent, however, in thei
renewed declaration Of hostility to our foreigi
population, and we allow them full indul
Fence in their argument in connection there
With but beg leave to take opposite view
in all these points on the subject.
They assert that they nave been disfran
ohised in the councils Of the nation. We in
cline to think this is only an imaginary case
thrown in to swell the category of their suf
~ierings but we discover that every fusiol
member has obtained his scat at Washington
In regard to their distress in reference I
ftate affairs in Indiana, we agree with them
No people were ever more perfectly used u
than were the people of Indiana by the las
Fusion Legislature. It's wanton waste o
public money, its enormous expenses and ap
Preparations, "sre unparalleled in the histor
Of the State" They have deep sorrow be
Cause they were not permitted to elect
Know Nothing, Abolition Senator to Con
eress. The people of the State have no
sympathized with them in their many grief
On this head.
AS to their having no temperance law, the
60 not confine themselves to the fact. The
cot the very identical temperance law whic.
they m%aturely prepared and presented. ]
was passed without alteration or amendment
snd was the child of their parentage. 1t
quite true that twas a lasus nature, a hide
oas monstrosity. Unconstitutional, imprac
tcahle and tyrannical, itreceived, as itshoul
Save done, the condemnation Of the Court
aud Of the people. This Was only anothe
evidence of the total incapacity Of the FL
sonists to govern the State correctly.
<zxssssszssas-sf=gW notice Of the mani

the most inpudent and unbluslling tissue o
distorted facts that ever was presented to tn
consideration Of the people of the State
