The United States party, which met a
Baltimore on the 9Th inst. had good tim
and happy delivery. Bell aud Everett
were nominated without half an effort. auC

platform ls an excellent one. with lh'

IL one way aud everybody else another
way The Democratic party has de
elared in every kind Of public act and form
Of speech that the Constitution carries
slavery into the territories and protects II
there. This is the construction put upon
the platform Of the United States party by
the dominent wing OF the Democratic party,
while the Douglas faction propose 10
abide by whatever construction Is put upon
il by the Supreme Courl-which court
has already decided that slavery goes
into the territories by force Of the Consnsti-
tuition.
Now a. this patriotic United States
pa ty takes the Constitution aud |" the en-
forcement of the laws" for its platform. and
as it - already decided by the highest
auihority--(the Supreme Court, vide Blu

no pow er 10 prevent IL, 1t follows that the
United States party Is IA favor OF enferc

olusion. They believe in the Dred Scott
doctrine Of old Tansy. (whom may the

most rampant Locofocos. Bot Bell is a

slavery man at heart, and we regret tina,

Everett Is a scholar, and though only an
old woman in politics. he Is as pro-slavery
as jeff. Davis or keitt or Cushing. But
he is the chief Of Union savers. tie is the
big Union Saviour. He has saved the
Union at least twice week for the last
fifty years. Aud then he is powerful on

With Lincoln at the head Of the Rspubli
can party the Bell movement vill prove
lamentable failure here. Indiansians know
that Old Abe" is a. conservative and
moderate as any man can be who hopes TO
regenerate the Government not only FROM
slavery, but official corruption, and they
will not throw away their votes, no matter
how good the man may be who solicits
them, when the effect will be to give aid to
the Democracy and security to the con
tinuancc Of the demoralized and slave rid
den party they detest.
The Fort Wayne Times. hitherto indie
pendent, hoists the names Of Lincoln and
Hamlin. and justifies its action by a can

Nothing remains for US, preparatory to
entering the contest, but TO say, that with
this explanation, we gladly take the csndi

will do no discredit TO our profession, but
which will be appreciated by friend an d
foe. and prove that amid the acrimony OF
