FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. Is, 1850.
The Cat ont of the Rag.

The Abolition leaders in Indiana are play
ing game Of deep deception upon their fol-
lowers. They use every art and stratagem,
BY bagging, clustering and boas,ing, to 10.
duce their partizans to believe that FREaosr
may be elected, when they, themselves
have not the most remote hope for such re-
suit.
The character OF the late elections In Ken.
lucky, Missouri, North Caroiina, Arkansas
and Iowa have shown them that all the CAL
culations and estimates of the Democracy
are being fully realized, and that the election
of Mr.. BUCHANAN is a matter of certainty.
The Democracy have carried triumphantly
every State which they expected to carry, and
have shown more strength than they really
supposed they possessed, which goes to
prove that they do not make erroneous and
false estimates.
0lsthe other band, FREaoYTs chances OF
success in the East and in the North are les
senirg every day. FILLMORE is more than
dividing the opposition vete in the Eastern
States, and in several Of the States, his
strength is far greater than that of Fremont.
This is Ieculiarly the case in New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey, and extends
into almost every Eastern State.
In Indiana, the great effort and design is
to carry the State election, in order to pos
sess the offices, power and patronage Of the
State. If the FREMONT men can Garry the
election of the State ticket elect the Legis-
lature, and thereby gain the two United
States Senators, and coutrol the Treasury and
public funds ofthe State, then many of their
leaders will be provided for, aud be put in
possession Of the great object for which they
so increasingly labor.
That this is their object is manifest from
the courses pursued by those among them
who expect Office. They stop at no expense,
they make shipwreck of their whole political
fortunes, trusting to lucky turn of the dice
in their favor To them, truth. reason, fair
dealing and honest conduct, have no atuac-
tons They set these cardinal virtues at
defiance, and indulge in every overstraiued
effort to carry their views by deception, false
issues, assumed facts aud direct falsehood.
They arc terribly hungry for office money
and power, aud they act upon the principle
that there is no h nesty in politics. 1t is this
feeling and this iatsrest that keeps up the ex-
citemont in Indiana. In the name Of FRE-
MONT, they hope TO be saved In Indiana, but
have no hope of electing him President
They expect to use the votes OF the people
for their own profit and personal aggrsndize-
meHt.
10 proof Of our argument upon the iorc-
going facts, we adduce the fact that not one
of their leaders will hazard or bet money on
the election Of FREMONT. They dare not
name ten distinct States which be can get,
and bet that he will carry the ten States so
named. They dare not bet that he viii get
one hundred electoral votes, and they dare
hot Ocl (quai amounts tnat ne viii carry
Pennsylvania aud New York or either of
them.
1t is but few days since one Of these sd
gacious leaders told friend in Indianapolis,
that he saw but little hope for Fremont; but
he had strong hopes Of being able to save the
State ticket in Indiana, which. to the fusion
patty, was Of more importance than the cleo
ton of the President
This is, doubtless the condition OF the
Fremont party in Indiana, and, to carry out
their policy. they will resort to every artiiice
and dishonorsble mode of electioneering,
The cat is out of the bag, and the people
should take care Of their own interests.
