1.-The Financial Condition of the State"

Already has The Republican party of
this State commenced trying to shift the
responsibility of thei' ruinous Legislation,
TO the State. in 1857. BY the following
article. from tie Sentinel, cab be seen
specimen of The great reform" that the
Republicans are to institute. One thing
is sure, and that is, Gov. MoRToN was
made Governor of the State on an improv-
ed plan. He rtied to attain that position
by the usual modus operondi. but the peo.
pie of the State decided by large major
lty tha! he was not the man they wanted
for Governor. During the last four years
he had nothing to do only TO study up
some plan to crawl into the Governors 5
chair. He had tried on his talents and
popularity and could not win. SO, lie nat
urally came 10 the conclusion that if he
ever did get to be Governor it would have
10 be on the s!reagth of some other man s
brains and popularity In short; the thing
worked-Lane was elected Governor
promised to Fill the Office if eected--chan-
ged his notion (?)-was elected L. S,
Senator, aud OF course Norton took the
Governorship. Below may be seen what
a modest man he Is
Tie journal in lew Of the fnan-
cial condition ofthe Stale, charges that the
present domestic debt Of the State is "a
portion of the legacy left by the Democrat
/; administration Of our State affairs TO
the incoming administration" This charge
Gov. MoRToN well knows is without any
foundation in truth. The domestic debt
is legacy lef! by the Republican Senate
of 1857 to the incoming Republican ad-
ministratiou. That is where the shoe
pinches. The Republican Senate Of that
year failed to pass the revenus bills to en-
6arrass the Democratic Stae administra
ZION. The truth OF The adage, "that cur
ses like chickens come homo to roos:," is
strikingly illustrated by the Republican
madness of 1857. And what is the rem
edy that Governor Morton asks tho Gen
eral Assembly to apply: To give him "a
constant supervision Of the official acts o
The State ,fficers, with power 20 stop any
action by them which he nsey consi,!er Il
iegat." This is mo1es.-is il not 4

of tar and feathers, if not an introduction
to hemp, for the utterance of such treason
able sentiments
But it is in good tasto, exceedingly
appropriate" and very patriotic for an
accidental Governor to belch forth his
spleen and malice against all who are stri-
wing to save the country from bloodshed,
and to make incendiary appeals TO rouse
the passions and the prejudices of the peo-
pie against their own brethren "bone Of
their bone, and flesh of their flesh" 1t is
in bad taste to strive by compromise, and
cancellation to avert from our doors the
dangers that now threaten the Republic, to
/ pour oil upon the troubled waters, and to
heal the bleeding wounds which threaten
The very existence of the Government.
But it is very appropriate to refuse all
compromise, and to drench this fair land
in traternal blood. We say to this acci-
dental Governor, who is so anxious to en-
act the character of Cain, and TO usurp
the authority of a despot, that there are mon
in Indiana who are in favor Of compromise,
and prefer concession and conciiatIon to
the bloody spectacle Of civil war; and that
they mean, on all appropriate occasions. to
avow their sentiments and to maintain their
position, despite the clustering threats
of such a strutling braggart as he. There
was Lord North once, whose name has
decended to posterity laden with the ex-
creation of mankind. who when oar fathers
plead for compromise and Justice, taun;-
iugly told them that be never treated wi h
rebels and traitors He refused ali com.
promise, and, by his folly lost to The Eng
lish crown an empirel Are there any
Lord North's among us? Those rebels
and traitors founded this great Govern
ment in the spirit Of compounds and JUST
equality. AMI in tina, spirit alone can 1t be
maintained; and he Isl traitor TO their
memory and to the work OF their hands,
who, refusing all compromise, would mad.
ly and recklessly ilunge he country into 2
bloody and ruinous civil war. Let Gov.
Morton put this in his pipe and smoke il.

to them especially dark aud threatening.
