Ni5lack were equally good Democrats that
if they were both Independent candidates 1T
would be difficult to choose between them
he could hardly tell which he should vote
for, if neither wore the caucus badge. But
the nomination of Niblack by convention
made it the imperative duty of every Demo-
crat to support him, without asking ques-
ton what he had done or would do. To |
the dictation of caucus he surrendered his |
clearest Observation-Disclosures his princi- |
ples-betrayed his friend, and violated his |
honor and implied pledges. Can there be
anywhere a more degraded intellectual sla-
very 2 Are such doctrines part of Democ-
racy? Could Louis Napoleon desire bet
ter school to fit mems minds for the yoke of
his tyranny? VIII the hard-fsted Democrats
of the Pocket sanction such slavish and ty-
rannical views, uttered by one fed upon
treasury pap for years, in an office that was
made sineeure for his especial benefit; AID
who drew his pay from the hard earnings of
the Wabash farmers, paid into the public
treasury in the shape of duties ON the cloths
they and their wives purchased of the mer-
chants
1t is the sinecurists, the postmasters. the
custom house officers, and the officials of
every grade who fatten on the toll and in
dustry of the country, who now uphold lie
comptonism, and preach its infamous doc
trines. The struggle is between the people
and the executive, with its army of 100000
Office holders, for the control of the govern
termine the side on which the State of Indi-
ana viii take her position, in this fight for
popular sovereignty, and for the continued
rule of the people against the oyershadow-
ing power of the executive.
Judge Law said if Hovey was elected, it
would be by the votes of the Black Repub-
Are they not those who voted for Fremont?
But their strength in this district was
scarcely one in five votes. They have not
increased since 1856, and could not give
Hovey half enough votes to elect him, if
every one in the district was to vote for
him. The fear, therefore, that his election
would be claimed throughout the land as
Black Republican triumph, is very silly, and
is used for CANNON. Judge Hovey will
owe his election mainly to the honest, indie
pendent anti-Lecompton Democracy, and to
a. 4
and national in their views--aS devoted to
the Constitution and the Union, as any that
tread the soil OF this Continent; men whose
partisan fellows arc among the purcSt and
best patriots of the South, as well as the
North. The Representative elected by such
men--if he stands single and alouc--in the
Hall of Representatives, will command the
respect eff all parties, if he he but respecta-
bic himself, and is neither a slave of a eau
Gus, nor laekey of the President.
Judge Law said if Mr.. Hovey were elected
by the Republicans, he would have no power
to do good for even those who elected him
would have no confidence in him, for ht
was a traitor. Political parties, like rulers
he said, love treason but abhor traitors
This was said with an apparent conviction
of its truth; as if it were one that hat
been enforced by experience of a quartz
, of a century. Some twenty year
ago, the SPEAKER himself made a politica
summcrsct from the old Wing party int
the Locofoco ranks. He has been al
, humble ser,i;or; doing the hiddinGs of tn

and though often beguilcd by hollow
promises and batteries, and false hopes ID

IS the Democratic party, at least, has grea

h. abidcs by them. He has not deserted tn
Or Democratic party-for Judge Law admit
b. him to be in principle, as good Democr;
as himself, and would vote for him if n
