The Frospects i'm Posey.

Posey assuring us in the most positive and
encouraging terms, that they have resolved
TO forget oil past issues-to let by-gones be
by-gones-and to unite with the honest and
true men of all parties to elect the best men
who are right on the present questions
They will unite heartily with the members
of the former American party and with the
Republicans-sin they have discarded
their extreme doctrines-in their efforts TO
elect Hovey Blythe and Soper. They are
satisfied with the men and their present po-
litical positions and views. To secure the
election of Blythe they will spare no effort.
He will be representative in whom they
say they will feel pride and confidence
one who will be worthy of the Pocket-one
whose moral and intellectual influence will
give him the weight of a dozen ordinary
men in the Legislative Halls of the State.
The important interests to be determined,
next winter, demand the presence of such
men in the Legislature. As one man, they
will give him their united support.
They commend to our support Mr.. Soper,
the candidate for the Senate, as a most wor-
thy, reliable man well informed-posseSs-
ing most excellent judgement-and fully
capable of representing the two counties
honorably and ably in the Senate. He
does not aspire to be an orator and an ac-
eomplished debater, but he is a man of
great practical knowledge in the affairs of
life, and qualified to debate and explain the
important financial and economical meas
ures that are likely to come up in the next
Legislature. They tell US to give 20 heed
to the false stories of his Black Republican,
ism and Know NothingiSm. He has from
boyhood been an Old Line Wing, the politi-
cal associate of Judge Pitcher, the Coopers
and others who are now good Democrats :;
and he has even up to this time agreed with
them in all the essentials of their political
faith, nor do they now disagree. He once
joined a Know Nothing lodge but disap-
proving of the proscriptive principles that
were finally Incorporated into the ritual
by designing and ambitious demagogues, he
ceased to be an active member.
His rival, Mr.. Carnahan, applied for ad-
mission into the same lodge; was accepted
and was on the threshold of initiation, when
an old old line Democrat caught him by the
collar, and rescued him from the dark LIANT
ern sin. In this respect the two candidates
are equal.
If on trial before q court, their case would
be like that of two burglars, one of whom
was found on the inside of an open door, and
the other ON the outside of it with the fell
onious intent of entering. There would be
but little difference in the award of punish
ment to the two.
For the election of Judge HoVey, they say
every map will come up to work With a
heart and will lie is now the exponent
of the anti-Lecompton Democracy of this
District; he is now the recognized leader Of
that section of the Democratic party which
is to gather all the elements of the Opposi-
ton into one fold of faith and a concert Of
action, and which must, now or in the Next
canvas, sweep Lecomptonism from the face
of the great Northwest and tnrn back the
aggressive march of Executive encroach-
snents.
The base and faithless desertion of Law
for fidelity, honor and courage. He has
fought alone fight that has no eqnal for the
moral heroism with which it has been sus-
tanned, except that of Douglas in Illinois,
On smaller theatre aud in less con
spicuous manner, he has stood up alone
against the whole host Of Buchanan's officia
minions; against their threats and seduc
tions against their briberies, falSehoods ant
base treason; and sustained himself with
fortitude, strength and bravery that ma,
Justly be compared with those high qualitie
in Douglas.
The heart of every true man will go wit
the defender of the right in such an un
equal conflict, and thousands of Democrat
who can't find it in their hearts openly t
separate from their old associates andleader;
will deposit secret vote for Hovey and eA
nit in his triumph, though they may not tie
il to their Lecompton associates
The contest at this moment between La'
and Hoyey is most glorious vindication {
the nobility of truth and honor Law, sun
10 the depths of degradation, is the pitift
fellow minion of John B. Hall, and is staine
by the foulest duplieity and treacher.
which oil the gliding of Executive honor
that could be heaped upon him, would M
hide from the sight of the world. Viii
Hovey, though he be oyerhorne by the pow
er of corruption for time, and remain b.
the equal of the humble citizen in static,
will come out of the contest the most hone
and strongest man in Southern Indiana
He will wear within his bosom q gem mo-
precious than the costliest insignia that cy'
hung upon the breast of the worshipper
power. The respect and popular confiden
he has now, will confer more true hone
and wealth than all the gifts Buchanan HI
to bestow on his favorites.
