Weekly Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1853-1861, 1856-10-16

The Fremont and Fillmore men OF Penn
sylvania, are to have meeting, in Philadel-
phia, on Thursday next, the 10Th inst, for
the purpose of forming union electoral
ticket
Whether an arrangement will be effected,
on any rerms, is more than doubtful, to say
the least of it. notwithstanding the extreme
anxiety of the Abolitionists to fuse with the
friends Of FILLMORE, upon basis which we
have heretofore published in the Sentinel
That sort of patchwork bargain may be
effected between the wire-pullers and man.
ayers of the two parties is barely probable /;
but that the great mass of the people can be
induced to sanction fusion so glaringly
fraudulent and corrupt, is hardly within the
range of probability.
The New York Herald speaking Of the
proposed convention, says "The fusion
will be made" Let It be made. We are
inclined to think the effect will be very
different from what the high contracting
parties contemplate. If they hope to de-
feat the Democratic electoral ticket by such
maneuvre, there is the best possible chance
of their being mistaken. They may unite
their destinies as parties, but there will be
thousands of individuals who, rather than
submit to such an Infamous bargain and sale,
will vote for BUCHANAN and BREcKINRIpeE.
as an alternative.
The necessity which drives the Fremont
ers into a coalition with the Fillmore men,
is imperious and absolute. They are COM
PEELED to choose between such step and
inevitable defeat. They know that all at
tempts to carry Pennsylvania for au electoral
ticket of their own, against one for FILLMORE
and another for BUCHANAN, are lerfectly
hopeless. Knowing this they are rife for
any arrangement that may be proposed
They know that it cannot injure them if it
docs not help them. Indeed, there are
those among them, who go so far as to open
~ advocate the withdrawal of Fremont in
case they fail to effect union with the FILL
MORE men oil pennsylvania.
The following from the Philadelphia
North american, the leading Fremont organ
of Pennsylvania, has direct reference TO such
a step. 1t is also most open and pointed
confession that without fusion between the
friends of Fremont and FILLMORE, in that
State, "tie success of the Democratic candidate
Is inevitable"
at must he clear to every intelligent OBJ
server chat while those elements are distrac ted
between divided preferences for the Presidency,
and cannot be harmonized upon any one of the
candidates nBmed. the success Of the Democratic
candidate IS ineoitGbIe. Nothing short of in
fstuation can form different estimate of the
probability, so soon to be verified unless there
be better concentration Of opinion than now
exists

Fremont the Immaculate.

A New York paper says that the partizans
of Colonel FREMONT, or rather the men who
use him for the occasion. represent him to the
religious and moral portion of the community
as immaculate, pure and spotless-indeed
they have published colloquies to show, by
his own words, that he "does not know one
card from another" and that he never
touches ardent spirits.
There are two gentlemen in that city, at
this moment, who were members of the Cal
ifornia Legislature when Colonel FREMONT
had rooms opposite the capitol, where men,
bers resor.ed at all times, and where they
were entertained by Fremont with both
card playing and liquors, in both which the
host joined his guests. The gentlemen who
assert this speak of what they saw, and
point to any number of witnesses who can
testify to the facts.

Democrats stand to Your Guns.

Democrats 6tand to Your Guns
The election on Tuesday Is indicative OF
one single fact about which the Democracy
need not have the slightest apprehension
Indiana is safe for BUCHANAN and Brock
1SR1DeE, beyond any possible doubt or con-
tingency.
The returns as far as received, up to the
present writing, are not sufficient to enable
US to predict with certainty, the election Of
WILLARD and other candidates Oh the DEM
ocrasic State ticket, yet they afford Us every
ground to hope that such has been the result
If returns yet to come in, shall unexpected
IL turn the scales against us, it does not sbate
one io;s from the great undeniable fact that
the electoral vote of Indiana Will be given
20 BUCHANAN and BsEcKISRIDeE. Let every
Democrat fix that fact indelibly upon his
mind. and nerve himself once more TOR the
contest. We say to our friends, stand by
your grns-relax not an efort-yield not
one lot or title that determination with
which you entered upon the contest, to bat
lie for the Constitution and the Union. Let
not the proud banner of Democracy be irrl-
ed ill victory IS again inscribed upon It's
folds.
Before our paper goes to press, we shall
be able to speak more definitely oil the To-
suit of the State canvass. Whether that
,s.nli i success or defeat let it yet be re-
msmbered ard placed upon the record, that
Indiana is safe for the Democracy in Novem-
Der. Unaided by the friends OF FILLMORE,
the Abolitionists ksow and are now sree to
acknowledge that there is impossible chance
for them to carry the State for Fremont.
Probably not over one-eighth ofths Fillmore
vote has been cast for theDemocratic State
ticket, the entire balance having been given
10 the Abolitiouists. If we are beaten In the
State, it is by the Fillmore men, and not by
the Black Republicans. The negro. faction
sin minority in Indiana. by thousands
This is demonstrated beyond all doubt.
This fact stares them in the face, and they
cannot eyade it. They re-enter upon the
contest, therefore, under full consciousness
that defeat awaits them Not so with the
Democracy. In the battle that has just been
fought, they see nothing to dishearten and
d;scourge-but everything to inspire them
with fresh hope and Tigor-
Again we say, then, Democrats, stand to

weeks more the great battle will be fought
Indiana has pledged herself TO the great SIS

The petition" addressed by this Qnixotic
Commander of the Free State Forces OF
Kansas" aud his squire. G. WHIPPLE, Col.
commanding I'd Regiment Kansas forces" is
about as cool piece of folly and impudence
as it is in the power of human weakness and
audacity to perpetrats.
The glaring assumptions of this pair of
worthless need not be analysed to expose their
absurdity All will see it at q glance. JIM
LANE talk about Kansas being invaded by
an organized army from Missouri He knows,
and every man knows that not man was
sent into Kansas from Missouri, till after the
Territory was invaded by himself and his
eight hundred armed tatterdemsllions, and
the work of robbery, arson and slaughter
commenced. To him and his confederates,
"JoHN RIToHEY and other worthy citizens of
Indiana" are indebted for being at this time
in the hands of the legal authorities. Hav-
ing made them dupes to his reasonable
schemes, and having brought them into open
collision with the government, for which
they are now under arrest, this ringleader in
treason and rebellion has tbs impudence to
ask the official interference Of Gov. WRIGHT
- tba;r babalf- aD ;ptarfa-aDca which ba h no
Just as much right to exercise as we have,
and no more.
The excuses trumped up for the commits
sion of those wholesale and barbarous outra-
ges which marked the career of LANE and
his men in Kan sas, are in perfect keeping
with the whole system of unblushipg fraud
and falsehood by which the Kansas iniquity
is sought to be justified.
This appeal of LANE and his man Friday
is not intended for the benefit of RITcHEY, or
any other worthy citizen of Indiana, now in
Kansas They are not 80 far wanting in
common sense as not TO know that the King
Of the Mosquitoes has just as much power to III
terfere with the regular execution of the laws
of that Territory as Gov Wright has. The
whole thing is most shallow and contempt
ible electioneeriug artifce, designed to relieve
the sufferings OF set of seedy political bank
rupts in Indiana and elsewhere, who hope to
obtain by fraud and deception, what they
cannot obtain by virtue of their own merits
as individuals or as politicians.
