A LINCOLN RAIL.
Tn 1856 the Democratic party in
Indiana, As elsewhere, made repeated
and urgent calls on the conservative
Wings to come to their help. That
there was no chance for Fillmore, and
that in order to defeat a sectional man,
and save the country, they should
vote for the Democratic candidates,
and prevent rupture in the Union BY
the election of the semi civilized Path
finder-sustain nationality and put
down sectionalism. Well, good sirs,
did they not do itl They voted for
James Buchanan and he was elected.
One question just here-Do You veri-
lly believe that they have since had
any reasons to be satisfied with thingsI
consequent! However, | leave that
for others to answer. But the great
question is, Will Democrats, in such
an emergency, show some sincerity
and love Of Union by doing as they
advise and urge others to do! 1t is
now thought by some leading Demo
Gratis that Indiana is very doubtful in
the coming November election, and
Others admit that they believe It will
90 for Lincoln. Now, conservative
democrats, will We, If yc believe ye
cannot carry the State, say will ye
come and help us elect man in whom
you have some confidcncc-that you
know is conservative! You all admit
that Bell and Everett are national,
safe ard good.
\ But if We say, in order to keep your
course, that there is no danger, then
give another more powerful reason.
Reader, just sit down, or lay down, in
some cool shade one Of these hot days

think it is worthy OF consideration.
! Is the Republican party sectional
and why! Well, because it is north
ern party, supporting northern prlnci
piles, in opposition to the south. Mex
comes the question Of questions, wha
lis the condition Of the Democratic
2 party As party is it not divided
z And the north nominate northern
n man upon principles that the south
wont accede to; and the south nomi
!, nate southern man upon principles
that the north won't have. Can "
p make il national! Now, Hoosicrs, !
these things be Sol have said consi
der and examine the testimony iron
every source-and ii these things b'
cl so, then, we say, the genuine demo

PRO BONO PUBLICO.
Psf we've any thing to say "

! All we have to say is. that If p. /
p. will prove to Us ~ reasonable cv
dence, that his candidates, who wcr
nominated in Convention where nc
n twenty States were represented, al
.. more national than the Democrat
re nominees. Douglas and johnson. VIII

r which the northern and all the sontl
i. fern states but five were represented
T. we will 90 with him. Or If he wi

:. most available to defeat sectionalisn
- we will 90 with him. But with on
I" present views, we think that Dougls
q will triumph by nearly as large m'
Iiority as Pierce did in 1852, who,
~ will be remembered, had more tina
ITO enough electoral votes in the north
elect him, besides carrying all Il
ne southern States but two. What HI
he been done can be done again. w
nc think if r. Il. p. will divest himse

will follow the example set BY his pa

ing the lead Of Gov. Hunt, and throw b
