JOHN P. JONES, of Lagrange.
FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
MILES J. FLETCHER, of Putnam.
IncOnsIstency.--As surance.--Un
pulOusness.
The ENQUIRER and its Guerilla Editor have
undertaken the task of rejecting, in abusive
and reckless terms, upon Judge DeBruler,
because he does not see fit to acknowledge
as Gospel truth the political speculations
and extra judicial dogmas of a portion of the
individuals composing the Supreme Court
of the United States. Judge DeBruler
acquiesces in that portion of the decision
which declares bred Scott not a citizen but
the slave of his claimant; but when he is
asked to indorse and acknowledge as law
the partizan vagaries of Judge fancy & Co.,
he respectfully declines, and pays no more
attention to them than he would to the pri-
vate opinions of a thousand other gentle
men in the United States of equal ability
For thus exercising his right of free thought
and free speech, he is denounced as an err
mined traitor" "sapient judge" "judicial
traitor" by the very consistent, enlightened,
and patriotic persons now engaged in editing
that model of an enterprising and heightened
paper, the Evansville Enquirer.
1t is to be presumed that the Enquirer
men and their supernumerary are violently
opposed to Banks in general and to a Ma
tional Bank in particular. They will per-
haps recollect that previous to the veto of
the second charter of the U. S. Bank by Gen
erll jackson, case had been decided by
the Supreme Court of the United States,
declaring the charter of the Bank constitu-
tionally granted and they will also recol-
Iect that President jackson, dsregarding
said decision-or rather treating it with per-
feet contempt-vetoed the act re-chartering
the Bank, on the ground of unconstitution-
ality, and that he was sustained by the
Democratic party of the country in his
action. Since that time the Supreme Court
has never reversed that decision, and il
stands now on the records of the Court
The Democratic party at this time stands
pledged against United States Bank, in
the face of that decision of the Supreme
Court sustaining it This we can prove by
quoting the following language from the
10th paragraph of the Cincinnati Platform
"That Congress has no power to charter
National Bank etc
The Supreme Cont of the United States
have solemnly decided that Congress has
the power to charter National Bank, and
that decision still stands as a precedent for
the future guidance of the Court. General
Jackson took issue with the Supreme Court
on the question; made the decision null
lily was sustained in his hostile posi-
ton by his party; and that party, by the
last National platform adopted, which is tht
expression of the principles of the party
until another platform is adopted to super
sede that formed at Cincinnati, still stands
out in its open and defiant rebellion to thu
Supreme Court.
And yet the editors of the organ of tn,
party here, assisted by a renegade Wing
whose private spite against Judge DeBruler
whose desire for the success of the shan
Democratic party, whose natural inclination

productions in print, led him to voluntee
to write for a paper with which he was 1
few months ago in violent antagonism-
these individuals have the assurance-ay'
the impudence and unscrupulousness-t(
abuse better men for merely disregardinG
the unauthorized opinions Of the individual
composing a Court, the solemn decision o
which they openly and de6antly rebe
against.
IF partizan presumption has even gon,
further than this, we have not heard OF il
Truly their audacity rises to sublimity.
When the Enquirer and its Guerilla Edit
or satisfy the people on the point here pre-
scented, we may perhaps give them SOM
more nuts TO crack"
