READING OUT OF THE PARTY.

70 The Editor Of he U,aon
In The States of Friday evening there appears a
communication under the above caption, and over the
signature of An Old Editor in which the fol-
lowing paragraph
1.-The other day / came across a notice in 'sThe
States containing the statement that the clerks from the
State of Indiana to manufacture public opinion In
favor of the Lecompon inquity among the Hoosier dem
ocats and that to this end also, five thousand docu
ments shall be printed in the German language be
circulated among citizens speaking that tongue.
This little paragraph, left to go unnoticed might
possibly lead to msconcepon of the objects of those
democratic clerks from Indiana who belong to the Club
and propose to give it a passing notice.
IAN Old Editor doubtless refers to notice published
in The States of resolution adopted by the Club and
he would create the impression upon the mind of the
public that the resolution itself contained the statement
he refers tohat the cerks from the State Indiana
mean to manufacture public opinion in favor of the Le
compton iniquity, think know who an s'old Edi-
tor is and if mistake not he is himself clerk to
committee of the House of Repr esentatives.
l. too old editor, and inform my brother of
the tripod that il he possessed the least modicum of
that courtesy which should attach to the editorial proes
son he would neither have penned nor published 80
libel upon his fellowclerks from Indiana now in
this city The notice he refers to contained such Ian
guage quoted by him but if he had taken the trouble
to read the resolutions of the club pubshed n the
Union of the 18th instant he would discover in them
nothing inconsistent with sound democratic doctrine
the platform of the eighth January convention The
resolutions OF the club do not attempt read any
out Of the party but If my editorial brother wishes to
rad himself out provided no has been fairly n) he
is suppose, at perfect liberty to do so
am also old democrat of nearly half a century, a
standing twenty years and more of which time have
been engaged practical printer in publishing and ed
itng democratic newspapers; and being German by
BIRTH education. and habits | can tell him that he
knows nothing about the character of this class of our
citizens The Indiana Club does not intend to read any
Of them out of the party at all but the contrary
they win endeavor to them from the clutches of the
old federal party Of which fear my friend is becoming
strong advocate This the club intend to do by the
circulation of sound documents amongst them contain

THE HOME OF THE PRESIDENT.

In the absence Of the fnll proceedings, copy
from the Pennsylvanian the following account of the
democratic convention Of Lancaster county, Penn.
held on Wednesday last:
One of the gratifying results of the present strug
gle in State the endorsement of the Pres
dents Kansas policy by the democratic convention of
Lancaster county The friends and neighbors of Mr.
Buchanan have thus testified their continued confidence
the wisdom of his political course the purity of the
motives by which he has been governed in his endeayoIs
to bring Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton
constitution and thus end at and forever the diff
culties which have long distracted that unhappy
country The democracy of Lancaster county deserve in
6nte credit their adherence to the President at this
critical junctrre in the affairs of the nation.
We have not full copy of the resolutions but they
are in substance as follows:
They endorse President Buchanans message, and de-
clare that it is in accordance with the principles of the
Cincinnati platform, and the admission Of Kansas under
the Lecompton constitution is the only way to settle the
difficulty
They call upon the democracy of the home of James
Buchanan to sustain his administration &c, and thus
sweep away the last vestge OF abotonsm and black
publicanism
They also endorse the action of Senator Bigler chaac
ezng his reply to Senator Douglas the Kansas ques
ton mastery effort.
The convention unusually full one, and the
husasm in favor of President Buchanan most marked
and emphatic.
The Washington union., 1858-02-26

II for unalIoyed satisfaction and rejoicing that
in the of the agitation upon the slavery question
as connected with Kansas affairs and from which has
arisen slight dsafecon in the democratic party of
of the northern States the democracy of New York are
united and harmonious in support of the sound policy as
sumed by the national administration upon this qucs-
ton The press speaks in but one voice in
unfolding the supremacy of law and order And now
are enabled to point with pride to the action of our rep
resentatves in the State Legislature unitedly approving
the Presidents looking to prompt and speedy
adjustment of Kansas difficulties by the admission OF that
Territory under the Lecompton constitution.
