Joe Wright and his Extraordinary Labors-
Selling Willard Co. to secure his own Elec

tion.
Gov. Wright has rendered the most efficient
service to the Democratic cause in this cam
paign. and has done much to keep the public
MUD in Indiana from being debauched by the
falsehoods and ISLANDERS of the opposition on
the slavery question. His labors upon the
stump have been extraordinary. and cannot
fail to have good effect Gin. Eng.
We do not know any man, excepting Will
lard, who has done more to debauch the public
mind in Indiana on the question of slavery,
and on political questions generally, than this
prince of demagogues, Gov. Wright. The
very fact of the Governor of Indiana leaving
his high official position to "stump the State"
in the foulest political fight, so far as his own
party is concerned, that ever stirred up the
dregs of bad passions, and brought political
rascals to the surface, is in itself enough to
"debauch" the State. But when it is recol-
lected that this demagogue in high place has
done this for a selfish purpose Of his own, and
without even the pretence of disgracing his
position for his party's beneft--that he is
stumping the State in an endeavor to secure
Democratic majority in the Legislature, so
that ne naGy become an y. s. SenatOr-if the
public mind is not debauched it is no fault Of
Joe Wright's. He at all events illustrates
that there is at least an individual public
mind" most grossly debauched. The Enqui-
rer says his labors upon the stump have been
extraordinary" They certainly have BEEN
Even the efforts of Willard himself have not
been more extraordinary than Gov. Wright's
Wizards labors this canvass have been extra
ordinary for their reckless impudence, for their
bold rascality, for their utterly unparalleled
assumptions and presumptons. Wrights la
bors have been quite as extraordinary for
their oily, greasy, soft soap plausibility, yet
most consummate hypocricy; for their gross de-
ceptions on every question he has discussed; for
their misstatements and Misrepresentation as
to the positions of his opponents. On record,
more of an Abolitionist than those he styles
abolitionists, he has stumped the State sup
porting the pro-slavery party and the Pierce
MISUNDERSTANDING recommended strin-
gent Prohibitory Liquor Law, and signed and
approved the late obnoxious Prohibitory Law,
he has everywhere abused those who support
ed that law, and meanly tried to escape the
responsibility of his own connection with it
having wronged and insulted this community,
and even called upon his head the severe con-
demnation of his party organ and friends in
this city, he has dared come here, and with
that oily hypocricy peculiarly mis- own, attempt
t0 taonh thiC thair dufvy and how how
can best elevate him again to office and pow
er. A by pocrit in religion and dcmagogue
in politics, he has no such immaculate charac-
ter as to sustain itself and the dignity of his
Office, when he prostitutes that Office to the
lowest party purposes, and basely uses its in
fuence to carry out objects of no more exalted
character than his own selfish aggrandlzement.
If any Democrat thinks Gov. Wright is
honestly working for the success Of the Dem
ocratic State Ticket, we tell him he is mistak-
man on his ticket. His whole object is to Sc
cure Democratic majority in the Legislature,
so that he may be elected one OF the U. 5.
Senators. We have before US now private
letter to which we wish to call the particular
attention Of Democrats. This letter says -
There is a shrewd game being played by Joe
Wright, Dr. Fitch and Jno. l.. Robinson
Wherever they go--as soon as they leave
their particular friends offer to vote for j fudge
Morton. if they can get the Peoples party tc
vote for the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature and Senate. So you may see that
this trio of Old Liners. Wright & Co., are t0it
ling to sell Willard if by so doing they can gel
themselves elected to the q. S. Senate" Who
doubts the truth Of this They would moi
only sell Willard but the whole Democratic
State Ticket and the Democratic party itself
to secure their own elevation to power. This
precisely accords with their political charac
ters. They don't care copper for their par
ty, only so far as that party is necessary tc
place and keep them in Office. Their only
hope of office now, is to secure Democratic
majority in the Legislature. They will sci
Willard to affect this. The Democracy Of tn,
State are being sold by these ofice-seekins
demagogues They will find after the election
that we have spoken the truth. Democrat
votes. under the dictation of these men, vii
be swapped off to elect members of the Leg
islature. at the expense of the Democratl
State Ticket. That is the game of Joe Wright
whose labors have been so very extraordlnar
in this State
