Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1862-12-29

Gov. WRIGHT, (the bogus Seunt0rl IN snort
speech delivered in the Senate the other day,
used the phrase, life of thenation. no less than
six times. He was engaged. as usual, IN helping,
and offering to help. Mr.. LINCOLN to crush out
the 'life," manhood and Independence of the
white people of this country. by making arrests
for the free use of the pen and the tongue.
WRIGHT said the President had arrested only five
hundred Democrats, and intimated that four
times that number ought to have been put in
prisonl
Since WRIGHr turned traitor and Abotionst
he has adopted all the cant phrases of old GID
DrSes and his crew, and the "lfe of the nation"

of his class he is incapable Of inventing or orig
mating any new ideas Of his own. and "gets by
rote." like any school boy, the worn out cant of
his new Abolition bed-fellows. For the credit
of Indiana. can't joe manage to say something
Originally How would it do for him to recite one
of his old Indiana speeches against the knights
