FILLMORE ELECTORAL TICKET.
GEORGE P. DUNN, of Lawrence.
ANDREW w. OSBORNE, Of Laport
Inc Course of the Journal.

the following is not from his pen:
A private letter from prominent citizen of
Evansville, who is not politician, says that
the feeling in favor OF Fremont in that city is
increasing every day. He intmates in the
most decided terms, that if Mr.. Sanders don't
quit abusing Fremont. another paper will be
established there for the purpose of defending
the Pathfinder. Col Lanes speech in the
Crescent City, as everywhere else, had good
effect, and was well received by all who heard
it, except Old Line Democrats.
If Mr.. Sanders cannot support Fremont, we
don't see that there is any reason why he
should make war upon him, and thus weaken
or divide his efforts in behalf Of the State
Ticket with the Old Liners.
Mr.. Sanders will edit his own prper in his
own way, neither deferred by threats of Re-
publicans nor the sneers of any so-called Fill
more men. We shall continue advocating the
cause Of Fillmore, and all interests intended,
as we think, to advance his claims, doing this
to the best Of our own judgment, and not sub
hitting to be turned from our true course by
the opinions of ultraists of any party. The
Journal so long as it is under our control,
shall preserve its political consistency, far as
a truly consistent course in the various min
glings and mixtures of politics in the present
day. One plain path of duty, to step aside
from which we should consider the basest in
consistency on our part, is that of opposing to
the end and with all the power within us, the
corruptions of the Old Line Democratic party,
as illustrated by the Pierce administration and
endorsed by Jas. Buchanan and those who
support him. We were educated to oppose
that party, we have fought against it from
boyhood with all our might, and we have
marked during the last two or three years no
such increase Of political virtue in that party,
whether in principles, policy or action, as to
call upon us for cessation of our efforts in
assisting to bring upon it the condemna-
ton of the people. On the contrary, in our
opinion, never did the Democratic party so
bubble and boil with it's own innate corruption
never before was Democratic administration
so crowned with imbecility and infamy pre-
sented to the American people for endorse
ment and continuance, never in our whole po-
litical history of late years was stronger ap-
peal made to the warm hearts and strong
arms Of patriots to uproot this party from it's
connection with our body polite, than at this
time. We have no sympathy with men OF
any party who will consent, directly or Indi-
rectly to affiliate with it in even temporary
policy, or who may support any such policy
as demands that they keep their lips closed
from condemning heartily and with all their
might, the Old Line party. We sustain Fill
more, who once as a prominent leader OF the
old Wing party, and the representative of that
party before the nations of the earth, as Presi-
dent of the United States, stood in direct OPP
position to the particular party we now war
against, and who has never since by word or
act, shown any sympathy with that party
We stand with him in opposing the election
of Fremont and most assuredly shall battle
for Fillmore in opposition to any party which
fights against him. We have never abused
Fremont, as the Gazette intimates, but we
like neither the man nor his principles as we
do Fillmore and his principles, and so much
have we said, and so much have we candidly
gwen our TeaSOnS lOT say liS. VIZ Seeh III III
manner to divide the opponents of the Old
Line State Ticket On the contrary, we have
labored earnestly to bring unity among al
those opposed to the Old Line party to carry
through the Peoples State Ticket, and the
Peoples candidate for Congress. 1t enough
for us to know the men on this ticket are
throughout good men, capable for the positions
to which they aspire, and that they are OPP
posed to Old Line Democracy, to secure from
us hearty support. So we think it should
be with every man, American or Republican
unless at heart he be an Old Liner
There is nothing in the threat of establish
ing Republican paper here, to deter us from
doing our duty. Even if such paper couId
be established without heavy expense. and
heavy loss for the first few years of it's pubIi-
cation, we think the policy of the act nzioht
be anything but prudent With the views
stated above, it may be good policy to preserve
the journal IN its present hands and in its
present course. Most assuredly the establish
ment of Republican paper here, although
pecuniarily it would affect us but trife. must
force US into position, by duty to the Ameri-
can party, by no means an apparent contin-
gency now. In any case the Gazette can re-
main perfectly easy as to the Journal The
Gazette's inconsistency will never find an imi-
tator in US.
