Or From the foregoing we infer that the
new editors are to be the plant tools OF the
bogus Democracy, and that even Professor
Larrabee is 10 prostitute his talents to the
small business of writing editorials under the
censorship of a clique of corrupt politicians.
Cincinnati Gasstts-
The Editor of the Gazette seems to misun-
dsgstand the meaning of orr predecessor, aud
wholly mistakes both the position Of the
new Editor, aud the character of the Indiana
Democracy. And it is not at ali strange that
a gentleman SO long "under the censorship
Of a clique of corrupt politicians" as be was
while Editor Of the Boston atlas, which Gen.
sorship seems continued with even greater
intensity, with only a change of SOM irdi-
yidual members Of the "clique," should
while Editor of the Gagette, suspect other
Editors of having fallen into tho same mis-
fortune. No "clique'' of politicians, "eor-
rupi" or otherwise, has had anything what
ever to do with the affairs of the Sentinel in
its late transfer. The change of proprietors
was a simple business transaction. The Edi-
tors are subject TO no censorship, no control,
no influence whatever, but their own reason
and Judgment. Their editorials" will be
written from their own instructive percep-
tons of truth, and Of right, and Of justice.
The Indiana Democracy viii neither sub
nit itself, nor allow its organs to submit to
any clique whatever. 1t requires of the Edi-
tors of its papers only a fair, candid. and re-
liable course. There is among the Demoo-
racy of this State no sectionalism, no bigotry,
no fanaticism, no one-idea-ism. 2To give
entire satisfaction, and to secure the cordial
support Of the Democracy Of the State, the
Sentinel has only to be the truthful expoun-
der of Democratic principles, and the faith
fl defender of Democratic measures.

Republicans, the editor of the New York

York, in a recent lecture in Boston, frankly
admitted in The following words. that the OBJ

LFThe local of the Sentinel quotes a silly
paragraph from the Cincinnati Times, 18TH
section or "oid line " paper, in which Mr..
COlfax, OF this State, is ridiculed as weak
AMI vain. We don't know who the author
Of the Times article may be, but if that Is his
opinion Of Mr. COlfax, his head hasn't room
for a correct idea. If his brains were scooped
out and bis skull turned into a mush pot, it
would not hold enough to feed a dyspeptic
"cbigger." "pup" of tolerab,e appetite
would starye to death on such mouthiuls as
he could lap out Of it. Touching the mir

procurement of a post Office at some railroa'
crossing for some Of its friends. IN the mean

he can make more just at present by specc
la,ing in tho Ethiopian staple, than by hi

or The State Temperance Committee
have called a convention to be held at lndi-

not see a call to that effect published within

RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRTTAIS-The
Washington Union makes the following i'm
portant announcement with reference to our
relations with Britain
W think we can safely assure the editors Of
the InteliigeRcer that no such question as the
suspension of diplomatic intercourse With Great
Britain has been before the cabinet. Our rela-
tions with that government are certainly delicate,
and, perhaps, critical, but the proposed with.
drawal of our minister is not amongst The evi
dences going tu indicate the delicacy Of those
relations. live might indulge in a conjecture
on so grave a matter, We should venture the
opinion that the action of our government IN
seeking the recall Of Mr.. Champion, and the con
suls implicated in the recruitment Of soldiers for
the Crimea, furnishes the only foundation for the
statement quoted above. Whilst we desire by
this correction to avoid any unfounded appre-
tensions of an impending difficulty with Great
Britain, we cannot deny that there are serious
questions Of difference between the two govern
ments which ought to be ~thoughtfully eonsid
cred by those members Of Congress who arr oh
siructing the organization ofihe House.

The female c~onvicts present the shocking
spectacle of a lawless gang of the most degra-

great degree the authority of both Warden
and Matron, and, for want of suitable cells
where the greater offenders can be put away
into solitary confinement, the lash is the only
punishment.

@We are aware, says the Locomotive, oil
the existance Of an erroneous opinion with a
certain iucredulous class Of citizens, with re-
gard to the present as well as the future rapid
growth Of our city. Now We would recon-
mend all such who are willing to be set right
on this subject, to drop in at the Office OF
MoKEREAN & EDsAR, and they will agree
with us thai the day is not far distant when
indianapolis will be a large and hourishing
city.
We acknowledge that We were truly as
tonished to SEQ the great run Of business that
McKERyLN & EDGAR are doing in real es-
tate. Their office appears more like a
crowded auction room than anything we can
compare It to. We had Dot the most distant
idea of he demand that is daily made at
their office for real estate, until having called
upon them. We were informed by them
that the last four months exhibits an increase
in their sales over the corresponding months
of last year Of 400 per cent. And the uum-
Der of vacant city lots sold by them during
the last four months, IS over 300, besides q
large amount Of improved city property. farm
ing laads, &c.

w The following article Is copied from
tho Charlottesville, Virginia) Jsgersonian of
the 10th inst. It was evidently written by a
Jealous admirer of Governor Wright. To
crafty the friends Of the Governor we give
i. publicity.
Governor Wright of Indiana.
Speculations on political topics are gene
rally Improbable, and the man who claims
sagacity enough to predict with certainty the
names of the next Democratic candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency, displays
more temerity than discretion. And yet the
high reputation, commanding talent, and dis
tinguished services of several eminent gem
tlemen in our avn State lead us to believe
that Virginia viii again, as Of old, be the
mother Of Presidents. Should any one of
our Statesmen be the choice of the National
Convention for the highest office in the gift
of the people, it would be proper, both from
a principle of Justice, AMI from motives of
expediency, that the second honor should be
given to the great Northwest, and especially
to the conservative State Of Indiana. By far
the most prominent Democrat in that State
a man who BY the soundness of his faith, the
purity of his motives, AM the vigor Of his in
tellect stands, neck and shoulders, above all
his associates, is Joseph A.. Wright, the pre-
sent Governor.
Governor Wright's beautiful address, re-
Gently delivered before tie New York Agri-
cultural Society at the State Fair, has acted
in the East and South rs a femlembrancer of
his name and s~esvices. la the West, indeed,
there was no need Of this, for he has long
been identified with It's interests, and is well
known rs one Of most practically useful men
in the valley of the Mississippi.
In his own State he can command what.
ever he desires, and has held hispresent po-
sisiOu q, lon as1.szesr.s'sz.1z71 Rssnt'
%jorities, ranging from i've 20 TED tkousand
above his party's strenth. This has resulted
not from any want Of devotion on his part
to Democracy, for he is as true to the cause
as a Christian martyr to his religion, and as
Jealous in his efforts as Christian missionary
in his labors.
1t is the effect ofthe just confidence which
all classes have in his integrity and ability
! and fitting recompense for his services to the
financial, educational, and agricultural inter
ests Of the State.

gress by his fine business capacity, laboriou'
habits, and by a bold and faryid eloquence
t peculiarly his own.

friendsof The Jotsndf effsctSs he
pleased that we dissented from the views of
their State Central eommittee in their de.
nunciations Of our foreign born citizens. We
repeat that we do most decidedly dissent
from all such wanton attempts to prejudice
our native born population against those Of
foreign birth. We shall not waste time to
state the reasons why it is unjust and impol-
itic to make invidious distinctions and castes
among our people.
But the great glory of the Indiana journal
is, that, az it says, we have committed our
selves in favor of that clause Of our State
Constitution which confers the right of suf-
frage upon the man who renounces all allie
glance to every foreign prince and potentate.
who swears to support the Constitution of the
United States and of the State of Indiana,
and who has been one year a resident of the
United States, ard for SIX months a resident
of the State of Indiana.
We boldly meet the issue, and declare that
we are not in favor of any change at present
or at any future time, of this feature of our
State Constitution. No evils have grown out
of its existence in this State, We have al.
ways observed that the Fusionists are ready
and willing to seek and to use the vote of a
foreign born citizen whenever he can be in
duced to vote their ticket. We We're graft
fed that the Central Fusion Committee OPEN
ly declared their hostility to the foreigner,
for the reason that it will show to every for
eign voter, who are and who are not, his real
friends. We hope to hear no more appeals
to the hberty-loying German TO come up and
vote with the Fusion party on the ground
of his natural opposition to the institution of
slavery. No anti Nebraska speeches made
to him viii induce him to desert his Demo-
cratic friends. Stand to your doctrines, gem
tlemen; carry ont your Know Nothing SEN
timents, but deal candidly with the foreigner.
At our leisure we may take the labor to
show to the people who were the men who
placed in the State Constitution that section
which defines the rights of the foreign citi-
zen. 1t was the joint work of both of the
great political parties in 1850, and some men
who are now Know Nothings aud Fusionists,
stultily themselves and their own acts by de-
claiming upon this topic. They must either
admit that they were then the advocates of
error or are now dishonest political change
