of being led captive by the Establishments
of some black "DInah," rigidly enforce the

rests the entire responsibility of both lava

the Missouri Compromise, and the blood Of

Thus you may run through the entire

to which you refer; it is simply the one
between you and the offices, and appre-

either, your worst fears will be realized.
But, word in conclusion, aud / am
done. Men of Indiana, the contest before
US is one pregnant with vital consequences
not only to you but to the whole American
people. Success is duty we owe to our
selves. TO our sister States and to posterity
If by idleness or indifference we fail to re.
deem our beloved Indiana from the thral-
dom of corrupt Dem cratic leaders, we
shall not only deserve the censure of the
men who make up the glorious galaxy of
Republican States which we'll nigh sur
round rs, but our children in after days
will rise up to reprove us for a want of f.
deity to the Heaven blestc cause of free labor.
Let heartless and corrupt party leaders
scheme as they may to defeat the election of
Abraham Lincoln by the popular vote, yet
thank God. this is contest i'm which the
people themselves understand that all such
trickery is but TO subserve the interest of a
power which is everything for the "nigger"
and nothing for the white man.
Our adversaries admit that if there be an
election by the people the plume Of victory
will wave IN triumph over the head Of
Honest Old Abe" He has, say they, the
confidence and the affection of the stalwarth
freemen Of this glorious West, and our only
hope of defeating him Is by devising some
corrupt scheme by which we may cheat the
people, throw the election iuto the House
and there gamble for the prize. Men Of In
diana, il is your province and your duty To
block that game of these Political gamblers
who would thus make merchandise Of
principles affecting your dearest interests.
IL is reasonably within the power of the in
corruptible freemen Of these United States
to give to Abraham Lincoln 1872 electoral
votes. aud / humbly trust that power will
be exercised. His election will settle this
damnable "nigger" question now and for
ever. When our brethren of tho South once
