-4-el Of the 10th inst, which will perhaps
open the eyes of our quiet and unwarlikc
citizens. Tho article bears the marks OF
some other author than the editors of that
paper, though appearing as an editorial. 1t
Is evident the author Tor at least the in
formant) is d resident of Vanderburgh
county we could make a very safe guess
at the person, but deem it unnecessary,
merely remarking for the young gentle
mans benefit that longer and better ac-
quaintance with the sentiments of our
citizens will correct the errors he has
made. We extract from the Sentinel
The business and social interests Of the
people of South western Indiana are large
IL identified with the South, and as a conse-
quence their sympathies are strongly en-
listed in whatever may affect that section
Of the nation, politically, socially and
commercially. While military preparations
are being made by the people of Kentucky
20 protect themselves ia the contingencies
they have occasion 10 fear, we notice that
the citizens Of Fanderburgh county, in this
State, as also in other border counties, have
been Pertectipg military organizations to
aid their ueighbors in K"ntuc1y in case any
emergency should arise which should rem
oar their assistance necessary IN enforcing

oAfGh county NOT nave we heard OF any
great fear OF negro inSurrectlon entertained
by our immediate Kentucky nelghbors.-
Nor DO we ihInk there Is any occasion for
our chlVairlc Bflgaaler General TO tender
the hghune services OF Tue people OF van
Gerbnrgh to the Govcrnoro OF Kentucky. We
think the people of our sister State re-
gard themselves as eminenuy competent to
manage their own affairs without any in
tervention of the Indiana Militia. What
the writer means by the emergency
which may make it necessary for the mill
Tia Of this county to assist in "maintain-
ing the constitutional rights of the States
would perhaps be more fully comprehended
By our readers did they know the authors
political construction of constitutional
richts Of the States" In the South and by
one branch of the Democracy it means the
protection of slavery everywhere and the
RIGHT to secede. The Young gentleman is
much mistaken if he thinks the people of
Vunderburph county are to be used for
maintaining any such rights as these
1T is true the people of Southwestern In
diana are on friendly relations with the peo-
nile of Kentuckv and ore willing to Weld to
the Sontb All lis constitutional RIGHTS and TO
aid IN maintaining them. But these friend
" relations do not grow out of any sympa-
thy with or attachment TO the institution of
slavery. The people Of Vanderburob coup-
" ana of southern Indiana are unalterably
attached TO free principles, free Institutions,
and free labor. They regard their duty so
the Union as paramount to attachment to
any section, and the militia of this portion
