The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1856-03-07

. ErThe Central fusion paper at indianapolis
has commenced fighting the Fillmore ticket.
The Journal says, at can succeed nobody be-
lieves." Tt also denounces in the fullest terms
the new platform. We turn the fusion organ
over to Sanders, of Evansville, who, we see
goes head and tail for the platform Come gen.
tlemen, let us have Kilkenny cat fight.
Te1re Haute JOnr.
We have no disposition to quarrel with
the State Journal. We deem its course re-
Gently as most unwise, if it be leading OBJ
ject with that paper to overcome the Old Line
Democracy If it is merely laboring to show
its enthusiasm for the Republican cause, and
for the single principle of that party's ad1oca-
ey-the State Journal is doing well. But lift
is really DESTROYS of securing the defeat.of the
Old Liners, its course might be very materially
improved without any sacrifice of principle.
Its editor is blfnd'politician if he thinks the
Oh. Liners can be defeated next election in this
State without perfect unity among its oppo-
nents. To secure this unity, we do not think
any sacrifice of principles is really necessary
on the part of either Republicans or Ameri-
cans But we respectfully suggest to the State
journal, there must be concession on the part
of Republicans; as <rell as Americans, to bring
about this unity, and tlfstit is very poor policy
on the part Of q paper belonging 'to eitherfthe.
Republican or American party in this State, to
betray an uncompromising hostility to the 9th
or party.
Both the Republicans and Americans in this
State are uncompromisingly opposed to the
corrupt Old Line party, and to those demagogue
hacks, those professional, corrupt and reckless
difference between the Republicans and Amer
leans in Indiana, so far as differences are made
prominent-in discussion, is on the slaveryques-
ton. Both parties are opposed to the Nebras-
ka Bill, and regard it as a piece of injurious
and infamous legislation-but the Republicans
are for restoring the Missouri Compromise,
while the National Americans are DESTROYS Of
at once stopping this serious agitation Of the
slavery question.
Now shall we prevent this difference on one
subject, and that not connected with our State
politics, to stand in the way, and prevent US
uniting todefeat the ceramon enemy and those
corrdpt men who stand at the head of it, and
repairing the evils they have inflicted on the
State? We do not ask the State Journal nor
any other Republican paper to sacrifice one
jot of its principles on the slavery or any 9TH
or question. But if they refuse to lend their
efforts to secure unity, are they not making
sure sacrifice ofau their principles, by per-
hitting the Old Liners, opposed to them in
everything, to gain a triumph? Had they not
better concede little to their friends than
sacrifice everything to their enemies? We
hope Republican editors will at least reflect
upon this subject. They can gain nothing by
bitter hostility to either the members or the
candidates of the American party, but on the
contrary such hostility is grateful Incense to
the noStrils of Old Line Democracy.
We copy the following on the same subject
from the New Albany Tribune
Now we submit, whether the line of policy
pursued by the Journal, with regard to the
late National American Convention, and their
nominees, is calculated to produce that harlno-
ny between the American and Republican par
ties in Indiana, that is SO absolutely necessary
to success? Its course indicates anything else
but an amiable disposition towards the Amer
ican party, which it ought to be remembe red,
was very potent element in the great polit-
ical tornado, that swept'cver the State but
eighteen months age, uprooting and oyerturn-
ing in its triumphal course the lastvestage of
'Locofocosrn. This same political element will
still be found to be mighty power in the State,
and let political asprants and office holders,
who affect to despise it, look well to their
places.
Now we profess to be just as good Repub-
iican as the editor of the Journal can possibly
be, if we understand what is meant by the
term. I'VE will certainly go as farTs he will
go in opposition to the further extension of
slavery; and if we do not effect as much, it
will be simply because he possesses the greater
ability rather than the greater UiH to do it.
And yet with all our opposition to slavery, we
are not prepared to sink our Amercanism in
this one idea when there is no necessity for it.
Were we alone in this, it would be matter OF
little consequence; perhaps only one vote less
Sas the Lafayette Journal very courteously
suggests But we are not alone. More than
$4,000 Americans in Indiana will be found oc-
cupying precisely the same position, and at
least 800 of them may be found in the little
county of Floyd.
05-Mr. Gregg, of the New lany Tribune
declares emphaticaly that he is not candidate
for nomination to any efice. We hope Mr.
Gregg will be Nominated for It. Governo,
Gnyhase We want to see him in the field as :
candidate although he promises faithful work
in his old position.
