VI L We have already published call for Con-
yention of the Peoples Party" to be held at
indianapolis on the first of May next At the
- time of its publication we hoped it would
adopt such policy and nominate such men,
that the American party of the whole State
might lend cheerful aid in supporting its ticket
and crushing Old Lineism in Indiana forever.
s+co, Such consummaton may not only be hoped
ba9 for, but it may be confidently expected if this
COS Convention follow the dictates of wisdom and
perform their duties in a spirit of COM
promise and Cancellation But if its mem
,as bers are guided by the councilings of those
odg men who would rather suffer still longer the
LTa evils of which complaint is so truthfuly made
in this CALL than smother for time their ultra
sectional preudces and partalites; who
.soa. would rather suffer defeat and continuation
c8 of bitter evils than secure success at the sac
rifce of single jot Of their feelings on one
question-then nothing else but defeat must
xs5 await them.
The Old Line party are united and organi-
t'' zed. No means fair or foul, will be left I'M
tried to secure victory in the next election
= Thare is but one way of defeating their well
80 this way shall not be brought to bear against
them-that is by perfect unity among ak the
. foes of corrupt Old Lineism. Whatever we
Al may be for, we are heart and soul, and uncom-
y9ag promisingly. against OLD Line Democracy, as
,'us tits known in this State. We believe it con-
tains all that is corrupt and evil in politics.
III, While we concede honesty to the rank and
W file Of that party, we believe its leaders in this
% State are gangeof filthy, grasping Office
81 seekers, who have no higher political motive
than selfaggrandizement, no honester purpose
X than to elevate themselves to offices of power
H. and emolument, and who, to secure success,
e. ha5tually stoop to the lowest receptions and
intrfgues and WELD none but the foulest weap-
~ !, ons of political warfare. Such men we are
warning against, honestly believing their sue
cess will COMPROMISE the true prosperity of the
State and people. Being thus opposed to them
III and to the party who are being deceived into
-tra their support we are willing to adopt any hon
oa orable means to defeat them. AS we have
p.'A said, they can be defeated only through the
perfect unity of their opponents This Peo-
s ples Convention, we earnestly trust, will be
the means of forming this unity, and to the
end that it may be So we hope the americans
of the First District mill be represented in that
eos Convention. We deem this not only impor-
:a tant but necessary We have interests to be
cared for in this Convention and it is necessa-
r ry in that body those interests have the proper
SEQ guardians. Much good may be accomplished,
while anticipate no consequent evil

at least give correct information upon which

nit it to the Americans of this District, hoping
that, if they see things as we do they will Ike
the necessary means for securing representa-
tive in the Peoples Convention.
