camp of their enemies.
Mr.. Carlile says he has no sympathy with
Republicanism. OF course not. A North
ern man with Southern principles-a per-
son doing business and holding property in
the region of terrorism and proscription-is
not likely to have such sympathies, particu-
larly if he be little weak in the back and
favorable to the unlimited extension of the
patriarchal institution" which furnishes
him with "f free labor that is labor that
don't cost him anything. No person will
accuse him with entertaining any progress
sive LIBERAL humanizing sentiments.
Following the example of Keitt, Yancey,
and J. Gordon Bennett Mr.. Carlile's exem-
plar), our Enquirer writer plays us dirge
on the disunion harp of a thousand
strings" He says, in effect, that if Lincoln
is constitutionally elected he will not be
allowed to take his seat-that the fre-eat-
ers will dissolve the Union They have had
control of the government ever since it was
her 'turn," and they won't stand such an
outraged Mr.. Carlile may believe such stuff,
but persons with stronger nerves will not.
Mr.. Carlile processes to believe that there
is some prospect for " the success of the
Union ticket" We had thought him a bet
ter posted politician. It's advocates can't
get Northern State. Suppose that they
should carry epery Southern State, and not
" most" of them as hoped for by him, and
that the name of Mr.. Bell should go into
the House and that of Mr.. Everett into the
Senate. Mr.. Carlile knows that the Con-
gress now in existence is the one that elects
Mr.. Bells political friends in the House
control just one State (Tennessee), and can
not control any more. There are thirty
three States represented. 1t requires seven
teen (voting by States) to elect. So Mr..
Bell cannot by any probability be elected,
because three States are tied and can't count
one way or the other; there is only one
Douglas State (Illinois) to help him; then
if all the fifteen Republican States should
vote for him together with the latter, he
might, it is true, be elected but the Breck-
inridge men being able TO elect in the Sen
ate, to prevent such a consummation, they
would become revolutionary and stave off
an election till the 4th Of March, 1861,
when 10. Lane, elected meantime by the
decisive majority of his friends in the SEN
ate, would be president. Mr.. Everett, if
be should be so extremely lucky as to get
into the Senate at all, could not be elected,
for he has only two political friends there
out of sixty-fve, and the Breckenridge and
Lane men have clear majority over all
others.
We say above, " if all the Republican
States should vote for " Mr. Bell How
could they be expected to do this, if Mr.
Bells friends had run electoral tickets in the
North expressly to beat Mr.. Lincoln There
might be some likelihood of it, to prevent
the deep disgrace of 10. Lanes election, if
Mr.. Bells friends should confne their eff
forts now to the South, where there is a
good prospect for votes, while there is but
forlorn hope in the North
Now, why does Mr.. Carile want to run a
Bell and Everett electoral ticket in Indiana?
Surely, not to elect Bell and Everett, for
that is impossible. Mr.. Carlile is a smart
man, and knoaes this to be true He tells us
his real reason in his communication, when
he declares his next choice to be Mr.. Doug
las. He says, If neither Bell and Everett
can be elected, hope lHr. Douglas may"
Yes, that is the cat in the meaI-tub =
Whigs-life-long opponents of sham Demo-
cracy-if they will submit to be " roped in,
'bamboozled," Carlileized, when the game is
so evident to the most unsophisticated? We
do not believe they will.
The running of Bell-Everett electoral
ticket can only defeat Lincoln, elect 10
Lane, and not be particle of benefit to the
Union cause. Mr.. Carlile knows it and
we candidly do not believe that he will vote
for the Bell Everett ticket if one is formed
He intends to vote for Stephen A. Douglas !!
His conduct and antecedents show it.
Mr.. Carlile plumes himself much upon
that we don't use argument in answer to
him. We have had two controversial with
him-this one, and that one in relation to
Judge DeBruler. We ask any close reader
who sees both papers, whether we did not
drive him to the wall on the latter Now
let him continue his sophistry and barefaced
assertion in this case, and we shall try and
give him more of the logic We have already
used with effect against HMM the opinion
of others.
BJ~ The Spencer County Republican
Convention at Gentryville last Saturday

nominations were made. We shall have
the whole ticket sent US soon.
