existence. They have kept the national
honor untarnished, and il now destined to
see the sceptre pass into the hands Of the
North, they will at least enjoy the satisfac-
ton OF pointing to its present unexampled /
PROSPERITY as proof Of their wise and con-
sentative craftsmanship. What the North |
shall make Of al. this prosperity remains to
be seen.
These are the principles and sentiments Of
the leaders Of the Lecompton party, to whom
Jesse ID. Bright has committed himself, and
whom his organ and striker in this Congress
sional District support and defend. In con-
sideration of his seat in the Senate, be is to
transfer the State Of Indiana to the party
promulgating these fagisious doctrines, and
the Federal officers, and expectants, are, by
his instigations, in secre. conclaves, and by
hidden acts laboring sedulously to accom-
plish this infamous stipulation Of their
leader.
No appeal is necessary to the seIf-respccs
of every laboring man-to the political SEN
timents of every Democrat to put down the
supporters of such party Tho abcttors Of
Bright are managing to get the lead Of the
Democratic party in this city and county,
and by some political legerdemain, obtain
from it an Indirect endorsement: of the Le-
compton swindle, and then transfer the party
to Bright, in payment of the offices he is to
confer on these anxious aspirants for Demo-
cratic leadership. Thoy were, but . few days
ago, violent opponents Of the Old Charter and
Free Schools. That was their natural posi-
ton and in accordance with their real senti-
ments. But finding that neither Democracy
nor the masses would follow in that direc-
ton they have become sudden converts to
the policy of retaining the Old Charter and
maintaining Free Schools. They are deter
mined to head the people; to get into the
lead, and under professions of harmonzine
the party, elect some Of tho Bright minions
and when the plan is accomplished the elec-
ton will be proclaimed rs an endorsement o
Bright an Nib!ack and popular sanction o
the Infamous measures they support. Th'
city election is but the preliminary prepare
ton for Bright and Locompton triumph il
the fall, according to the scheme Of thes
managers. 1t iste be accomplished by "Aar
monising," that is, by pursuading the masse
. of the Democratic party not to rebel agains
. the odious principles aud measures they ar
attempting to fix upon the country.
E These Lecompton leaders have at this tim
t q most earnest regard for "our adopted fol
# low-citizens." Their fattories and profcs
9 sions are poured fourth in most voluble cur
\ rents. We direct the attention Of our Gel
d man population to the insults poured out upo
n them by Governor Hammond, who de
dominates them "hordes Of ignorant barbs
q rians invading the country from Europe
and classes all l-boring men rs Slaves
Gov. Hammond is one of the Southern Ia
? compton leaders upon whom Jesse ID. Brigl
, is as dependent for his seat as the Office hole
ers Of INDIAN are upon tho Senator
\ support. They all act as if the "meni
classes"-as Gov. Hammond denominat
them-in the North, were rs merchantab
and transferable rs those OF the South arc
Our working men and democrats will, in 81
= approaching elections, give these dem'
gogues q new lesson in political tactics.
