THE INDIANA DEMOCRACY BY THE
EARS.
o. P. BROWN.

The two wings Of the LOcOfoco party in Indi.
ana are pulling each others WOO, and tearing it
out by the handfull. The fight is between the
Bright faction and the Wright fsction. In one
thing only do those factions appear to agree, aud
that is regarding the editor Of the Cincinnati En-
quirer as great blOvirting wind dbag-and that's
so. The following is an extract from the Rock.
port Democrat an unreleuting old line sheet.
which devotes three columns to a most damaging
exposure Of Bight's career, from which we ex.
tract the following:-State Jour.
We now come to the grand game Of jugglery
by which Blight crushed for time his great ri
val. Wright, bambOOzled Cor time the peoples
Representatives most gloriously, (whetber by the
free use Of whiskey, or by the freer use Of
promises Of bank stock and fat offices, we are at
loss to determine and played smash with OH
Democratic crockery ware generally. We we're
there all the time, saw the maneyers, and krow
the lick it was done by; therefore what we say on
this head we know to be strictly true, and can be
relied upon. Early in the session the reloutable
United States Senator arrived at the Capitol and
took suit Of rooms at the Palmer, and made
himself as comfortable during the biggest part Of
two mouths as gin cocktails and eight dollars q
day could possibly make man feel.
Here we fnd the particular lion Of Indians
Democracy, 10 fact, as his friends are vain enough
TO think the owner Of cur party, and the mar
who it is supposed by greenhOrns, carried Indians
for Buchanan, laying the ropes to beat the ster
ling Democrat Joe Wright, for the Senate
Jesse manevered for some FIVE weeks ia the be
lief that be could crush Wright openly and abov,
board, with an open show of fairness, but, alas
be found out his mistake. He became convinced
that d,Iplieity and stratagem must be resorted to-
and Jesse is not the man to hesitate at any mean
ness, when an object is to be accomplished. He
therefore opened negotiations with Gov. Wright
and his friends the finale Of which was q treaty
of peace, reconciliation Of all past dilficuhiss-
The terms were that Bright and Fitch should %
10 the United States Senate, and the Governor be
unanimously recommended 70 Cabinet appoint
ment.
Gov. Wright and his friends who were actual
| ly in the majority. scrupulously performed their
part of the contract by electing Bright and Fitch
to the Senate. But, be It said to the everlasting
shame and damning disgrace of Bright, that al
the very time Wright and bis friends were per.
forming their slipuations, the friends Of Bright
no doubt instructed by him to Go so, were sending
letters and dispatches to Wbeatlsnd, imporiDe
Buchanan not to appoint Wright as one Of his cab,
met. These letters were soon followed up in per.
son by Bright who visited WheatlaDd and made
verbal protests against Gov Wrght's appoint
ment.
Such unparalleled duplioity, ns0nnesS, AMI pO
ritical knavery in Indiana, was alone reserved fo
Jesse D. Bright. Joseph A. Wright though beat
en- by disgraceful means, towers as far above Jes
Sc D. Bright, in estimation Of the masses Of Indi
ana Democracy. as the BeaveBs are above tb,
earth. While the former will be impressed upon
tie grateful remembrances of our children, tue lat
ter will lie remembered with scou and contempt
