The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1856-08-07

n The old veteran editor of the New
Albany Tribune copies what we said about
the foolishness of sensible men like MILTON
GRECO, throwing away their votes IN this
State on Fillmore, when the obvious result OF
such course would be to strengthen the
BUCCANEERS; after making remark about
Col. Lanes course, says:
And just so with the Birneyites, the Van
Burenites and the Haletes, who have here
toforc kept up their separate organization,
for no other purpose that could see except
t. throw the State into the hands of the Lo-
cofocos, they now SCI up a terrible howl over
the late Fillmore movement, least it may re-
suit in throwing the State for Buchanan
Tie same parties defeated Mr.. Clay and We
have never forgiven them for it. And now
to add insult to injury they would undertake
TO lecture US, because OF our support Of ano-
Their who is equally safe, equally conserva-
tive and equally national. We have no pa
tience with such men.
How tar the present writing editor Of the
Palladium may be entitled TO claim the hon
orcd title u an old Wig, we know not.
But this we do know that he halls from
neisllborllood where Birneyites used to be as
plenty as blackberries. When he purges
himself OF Hi dIiIidtIDI With Iiidl IdCllOI-
we may listen to his reproofs, with more sat
isfaction."
Not having been either Birneyite. Van
Burenite or d Haleite, the patience" Of Bro.
CARGO towards US has not assumed negative
quality, and of course we can talk to him
seeIncth unto us good Besides, we claim to
have always been VINO of the "strictest
II
the fact of our not having been born at an
earlier period yet we do claim 1.-The honored
title of an old Wing" up to the hour of the
death Of that party. The present writing
editor Of the Palladium" has been connected
with it since sc, and thinks lie has been as
firm and steadtast in the faith once possessed
by that glorious old party, as even Mr.. Gregg
himself; therefore, his advice to US to go thro'
a process Of detection, in order to fit US for
the work of speaking forth the words of truth
and soberness, to him and his Fillmore breth-
rem, is supertiuous. 1t amounts to the same
thing as if we should tell him to purge"
himself from locofocoisn, before he would
be in the proper state to receive .'reproots''
from us.
The editor of the Tribune is an old and
experienced politician-we do not know linn
personally-and he knous that we told the
truth when we said that the supporters of
Willard Fillmore in this State, were playing
into the hands of the Buchaniers. If he can
honestly say there is any chance the most
remote, for the Fillmore ticket in Indiana,
then he and his friends would be excusable
for their course; but no, lie will not say it,
because he knows better. From his own adj
mission, in the above extract, he is now
merely acting in n spirit OF reyenge-dong
precisely the same thing the Tribune and
PaAadium, and every other Wig paper of
that day, charged the Birneyites with doing
-thr0acng las r0te a3cay--because he has
never forgiven the Birneyites for defeating
Mr. Clay! We hope he will think better
of it, and for the sake of the important ques-
tions of the non-extension of slavery, or the
extension of it into our Free Territories, in
volved III the success of Fremont or Buchan
an; that he will cast his influence and his
vote for the former, and thus aid in securing
Freedom to them. and carry out the resolve
of HENRY CLAY, whose memory is enshrined
in the heart of every soldier. old and young
who fought under the Wing banner, and
who ha,es and despises james Buchanan, the
miserable slandercr of that great statesman
and patriot-whose hands will be strength
ened by the suicidal course the supporters of
Willard Fillmore are pursuing in Indiana Il
never can and never will vote. and no earth
" power will ever make me vote to spread
slavery over territory where it does not ex-
ist." Such were the sentiments Of HENRY
CLAY.
We wish to correct our friend Gregg, in
his estimate Of the neighborhood where we
hail from, where he says, "Birneyites used
to be as thick as blackberries'' The vote
in odd WAYNE" in Al, was 1921 for Clay,
1886 for Polk, and 31S for Birncy. So you
perceive your expression OF las thick as
i,lackberries,'' was not well chosen--31o
out of l075, isn't very thick" after
