EDITORS JoURNAL:-I do not wish to in-
trude on your valuable space, but as the
Ides of November are coming on with the
velocity of time, verifying the old adage
that time and tide wait for no man = and
as next November will be the most eventful
month that has occurred in the history of
our country, since the signing of that i'm
mortal document that declared to the Sow
ereigns of the Old World that all men ,Oere
created free and equal and as it will then
he decided whether the rule or ruin policy
of the government under which we have been
living, shall still continue TO govern US with
its ruinous policy, for which we can only
bring the licentiousness of Rome as paral-
lei, and which has left US, as a nation, on
the verge of bankruptcy ask the old
Wings of Indiana what they intend to do
in the approaching struggle? To be sure,
we have two good and great men at the head
of the Union Ticket, both old Wings, tried
and true. But what can we do for them in
Indiana? We may give them some eight or
ten thousand Votes, which would only throw
the State for one who has shown in every
action of his past political career that he
has no political honesty in his composition;
whose policy has been a reckless ambition;
and who has used any new hobby that
could be invented to further his schemes of
aggrandizement. 81 am Stephen A. Doug
las l want to be President and | will be
any thing to obtain the prize" has been his
cry.
But can old Wings suffer themselves to
be duped and gulled by any such blind and
egregious folly? Can the remnant of that
once grand old party so far forget the men,
ory of their gallant and gifted champion
Harry of the West-as to vote or even in
directly vote for one who, with ruthless
hand, destroyed that noblest work of their
Champion-the Missouri Compromise?
This will be the man whom every old
Whig will indirectly vote for by supporting
the Union candidates in the State of Indi-
diana. Every Douglas man will tell you,
gloatingly, that every vote You give for
Bell and Everett in this State is half a vote
for their candidate.
Now, then, let us show them that though
we are few in numbers we are incorrupt-
ibe, and still recognize our Old battle-cry
of 4" Down with tine Sham Democracy"
Let US use every honorable and efficient
means that is in our power, while we have
the chance, to crush the monster now and
forever. The only reliable way we can do
it. is to rally our entire strength until the
day of election, and throw our whole in
/ iuence for the gallant son of Kentucky
| Honest Old Abe. BY doing this, Indiana
can be redeemed, and her electoral vote en-
rolled among the gallant States which Will
cast their votes for the nobIest work of
Gods creation-AB Honest Nan
Let them call US Black Republicans Abo-
ltionists, or any thing they please their
calling US so will not make US so. The
proud satisfaction of defeating the Democrat
ic party will amply repay US for all they
can say or do. We can tell them, Let those
laugh who win.
If these few remarks are worthy of your
attention, you can use them as you see fit
and | still, though intending to support
Old Abe, remain an OLD WHIG.
