IL The Evansville Enquirer, as unscru-
pulous Democratic sheet as is published
10 the State, has, in its issue Of July 7th Il
very exultant article in relation TO the re-
cent action of the friends of Messrs. Bell
and Everett who met AZ indianapolis On
the 4th inst. The wish being father to the
thought, the editor misrepreseDts every I'm
portant particular of that meeting. He
says cit was determined to form Bell
aud Everett electoral ticket for Indiana
For this purpose mass meeting OF the /
friends Of the nominees Of the 1ion party |
in Indiana was called. to be held at India
napolis OH the 18th of August next, at
which full electoral ticket will be select
ed"
On the contrary. as We understand from
the Bell and Everett men Of this city, the
proposition to form a Bell aud Everett
electoral ticket for this State, was voted
down by handsome majority, and the
meeting in August is to take such action
as is then deemed sdgsable,-in fact the
meeting on the 4,h was not called for the
purpose of forming an electoral ticket.
The editor OF the Enquirer says in rela.
ton to our fellow citizen r. w. Thompson,
that he was present "and refuted the Black
Republican libel upon him that he was
going to support Lincoln, by declaring in
the most explicit terms. that he could not
by any combination of circumstances, or
under any probable contingencies, be in
duced to vote for the Black Republican
candidate"
We believe Col Thompson said no such
thing, for We feel assured that contingen
cies might arise. when he would feel justi.
fled in giving his influence and vote to
> elevate Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency
Mr. Thompson is 70, John Bell, but. as We
understand, between MIR. Douglas and
Mr.. Lincoln, he Is for the latter. He be-
lieves, as Toes the great mass of the Be-
men here, that the time has arrived when
an imperious necessity demands that th,
affairs Of this general government should
be taken out Of the hands of this corrupt
-, Democratic par,y--tbis "huzzard roost a
Washington" aud he will act in such
manner that this desirable object may b.
attained. This Is not only the feeling o
Mr.. Thompson, as we understand il, but o
the Bell men generally in this section o
the country.
We are impressed with the believe tina
the editor Of the Enquirer has received hi
! information, in relation to this meeting a
indianapolis, and the intention Of the Bel
men of this State frop Mr. Blythe of Ev
ansville, who every one knows, is Dem
ocrat in his instincts, in his acts and in hi
associations. man who, for the las
several years has secretly. cunningly an'
persistently assisted IN advancing the inter
ests of the Democratic party in this State
and who to-day, we have no doubt. woul,
p" much sooner see Douglas or Breckinridg
President, than Mr.. Lincoln. Who is

:, We hope the friends Of Messrs. Bell an'
Everett, who reside in the pocket, will no
