admirably: Take very thick solution Of

Turner, the Reverend Mr.. Turner, replied in
his Democratic paper and denied havirg writ
ten to us that he agreed with us in principles!
He also stated that we had offered him the

He gave as reason for making the propos-
al to u.s. and then declining an offer, that he
wished to remove from himself the suspicion OF
Whiggery which had attached to himl Was
there ever more infamous political wretch
vomited up in the throes of corrupt party !

We are astonished that any decent community
would tolerate him for an hour after the pub
lie exposure made of his moral and political
depravity and Sustained by the irrefragable
proof which Mr.. Dawson has offered.
This is the man who is now at work trying
in turn to injure Dawson! His attempt is
worse than useless. But what shall we think
of Old Line editors, who avail themselves OF
Turner to strike at Dawson?

o. Keep it before the people, that whenev-
er Abolition speaker charges that the Dem
ocrats of Indiana are in favor of introducing
or of establishing slavery in Kansas-he tells
wilful and corrupt LIE State Sentinel.
Are not the Democrats of Indiana uphold
ing the Pierce Administration? Is not this
Administration doing all it can to force slavery
into Kansas? Is it not now, through its reck-
less tool, Shannon, perpetrating outrages for
this single object, and the whole object of that
object to court up the South, outrages for which
humanity should blush and which are a dis
grace upon the whole country? And the Sen
tinel now charges it is a lie that the Demo-
Gratis of Indiana are in favor Of establishing
slavery in Kansas. We do not believe the
Democrats of the State are in favor Of this
but we do believe, that led by the noses by a
knavish and corrupt set of leaders, they are
unwittingly doing all they can for this very
thing. They are at least supporting the Pierce
Administration, and that is doing precisely
what is charged upon them.
