While struggling with oil our power and
with soad hope OF victory, against our
known enemies, We have been quietly and
,raacbereusly tripped by professed friends
We have really, though isnorsntly, had 10
6sht combination Of Fillmore and Blu.
chapsn men. That combination either
wont exist. or wont deceive Us a. to It's e1.
istence, in November.
The evidence is thick and three foid, that
in every county in the State the majority OF
that party and in some quarters every man
in 1t voted against US We do not doubt
but that those who have isbofsd tor the
State tiake; aud urged its support have act
ed IN good faith, but the ma 9rity vi the par
ty have sotsd Tor the Buchanan men, Just
as they did ia Philadelphia, ia Connecticut
aud Maine The Buehsniers, instesd OF
having q com einstion TO resist, have chang"
ed positions with u, and given US the COM
biastoa 10 light. aud We shall do IL success
fully. We should not credit the existence
OF such combination but upon the most IN
doubted testimony But the best men OF
Putnam, OF Miami, Of Shelby, OF Wabash,
Vi JENNINGS. of Jefferson. and OF twenty 9th
e. counties. tell US that the Fillmore men
opsaly voted Tor Willard, This the, tell
US in stating the result in thsir OWE coan-
ties and before learning that Of any other
IL is the concurrent testimony OF thirty wit
nesses in every part " the State, speaking
without any possibility OF arrangement.
Mr. Willard, who knows what has been
done and why, and hss just discretion
enough to tell anything he knows in mo
menis Of glori6cation. bragged on the Fill
more vote he got, in bis speech at the
Virgil, House on Thursday night The
result in every strong Fillmore County
proves il. There is not single one but
has gone for Willard BY large maJorites. =
Not one. Ohio, Switzerland, Ripley. Floyd.
Knox, Vigo, the Pocket in lump, the
Second District. the third. the seventh, ey.
cry quarter or county that has contained
an appreciate Fillmore element. has gone
for Willard by immense msjorities eonsid-
erine their vote OF 1854 These facts are
indisputsbie. Figures are imniovable wit
nesses, We know that there are Fillmore
men who voted in good faith and supported
the State ticket, but msjority could not
have done so, Those who opposed the
Buchanan ticket honestly will be no less
surprised tnan ourselves at these results and
they may be slow to admit the conclusion
they establish, but" blinking" the truth will
not remove it. Besides, the course Of the
same party in Con necticut, 10 Vermont. in
Maine, in New York, where they have
formed q Union ticket for Congress aud the
Legislature in many districts with the Blu
chanan party, in Philadelphia where they
openly voted the Buchanan ticket, in Ohio,
where they have fought the Republicans
with ten times the ferocity that character
zsd even the bitter attacks of the Bucha
niers, their conduct everywhere proves that
in Indiana they have only followed a wide
" concerted plan.
These facts, whatever they may do tor
the hopeless, heartless crew who can't
work if they doa'tknoS they are going to
win, operate as fresh impulse to us. We
see not only hope, bur something more, in
| the necessary surrenderng Of this Demo-
cratic and Know Nothing coalition. in No.
ssnber.
