As Mr.. Bright's people take particular pleasure,
says the State Sentinel, in publishing our record
before We had any utilization with the Democratic
party, we take great pleasure in returning the
compliment upon this opportune OCCASION
We have many more of the same sort in reserve.
Read the deliberately expressed opinions of men
who at the time they were claimed to be pillars in
the Democratic church:
JOHN PETIT SPEAKS.
/ am devoted TO free soil and free labor, and no
vote of mine shall knowingly ever be given to
polute the Que or Cypress the other with slavery.
Z Slavery can only exist in State or
Territory by authority of the sovereign power of
such State OF Territory; hence, as it does not
now exist in any of our Territories, it cannot be
carried there until authorized by the power exer-
cising sovereign authority over the same. That
power can only he exercised while they are Ter
ritories, by the Congress ofthe United States.

Sir:-As there are few who think that you
have not been quite definite enough on some of
the questions involved in tho present canvase, 1
wish you to answer the following questions to-wt:
Est Will you, if elected, vote for the uncOn-
ditonal abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia?
"2d. Will YOU vote for the abolition of the inter
State slave trader
sd VIII you vote for the Wilmot Proviso
being extended over the Territory of California

slaves to be taken there as property

tions.
GRAHAM N. FITCH"
Not satisfied with this he proceeds to say.
Entertaining .he views indicated in my answer
above, shall not only vote yes these meas
urcs, but if no older or ADLER member, whose in
huence would be greater than mine, introduces
them TO do so myself, if | have the honor OF
holding seat there. GRAHAM N. FITCH"
We would most respectfully inquire whether
Doctor Fitch found in Abraham Lincoln the ADLER
member, whose influence was greater than his, to
introduce bill to abolish slavery in the District OF
Columbia? Perhaps this fact may account for the
given him in Indian by our distinguished" Sen.

So strong, Mr.. President, is my conviction OF
the yiciousnass of the principle of submit ting to

but little sense but is possessed of by far less
illness than he is of brains. BY this we do not
wish il to be understood that we are paying his
good sense any compliment, for our opinion of him
is, that he is much greater fool than JAMES c.
PARKS, our present Representatives" JONES is
cowardly and sneaking. He will not make any ar
rangement to canvass the counties with PACKARD.
Mr.. r. offered to let him (JoNEs,) set the time, and
he (PAcKARD,) would accommodate himself 10 the
appointments JONES might make. But JONES de-
cined, saying that he would not canvass this coun-
ty, and thought he would only " BUsHw HAcK -

has already made one poor apology for speech
in the county, at Maxenkuckee, and about that he
told Mr.. PACKARD a straight.ou falsebood, saying
that he was not going to attend the meeting, and
then went up and rehearsed his granny story about
PAcK.Rs not Euing in Stsrke county, and stated
falsely that Il Democrats of Starke county were
not going to import him. fine believed such was
the case he would be laying low, but be knows it is
false md he il whistling to keep his courage up
We admit that there a few voters in Starke coun.
ty who arc opposed to PACKARD. but fortunately
for us, they ALL belong ia the Black Republican
party, and we have never expected their support
