Weekly Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1853-1861, 1856-10-30
From the victsburg CAIis.) Sentinel.

Despite the immense putting and clustering
OF the Know Nothings and Abolitionists in
Indiana, we never doubted that the gallant
Democracy there would come out of the con-
test with flying cOlors. We looked conf
IDENTIFY forward to a decisive victory, and the
result has realized our most sanguine expec-
tations. The Indiana Democracy. always
true, always reliable ever faithful even
among 'innumerable false have borne to
triumph the banner Of the Constitution and
the Union. The foul coalition in that State
between pseudo Amerieanism and tressonous
Abolitionism has been stricken down in its
fancied might, and lies groveling in the vile
dust from whence it sprung. The noble
and glorious Democracy have risen from their
temporary reverse of 1854, and effsced for
ever the blot upon the escutcheon of the
State which, two years ago, compact union
of factions had inflicted upon it. Her robe
is now shining and pure. The party there
now stands upon a rock as deep-rooted and
as solid as the eternal hills. Having slough
ed off such infamous apostates as Mace and
Barbour and Cumback and others, who had
seized upon the miserable conspiracy OF
Know Nothingism to crafty malignant am
bitiop, the ascendency of the party in Indi-
ana is established, for all time to come, upon
basis against which the gates of hell shall
not prevail.
We congratulate the country upon this aus
picious result. Ii will fall like oil upon the
troubled waters, and strengthen the hopes oi
all patriotic men that our free constitution:
are destined to be perpetual. With Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana safe for us, beyond all
question, in November, the election of John
G. Fremont becomes an impossibillty. Under
no possible contingency can he reach the
White House as the Chief Magistrate of the
Republic. This government is not fated to
encounter the profound degradation OF hav'
