Daily State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1864-08-18

There was a fellow in the Mexican service
named AxPuDiA, who was terrible in the way OF
proclamations. He demolished the American
army over and over again with his hard language
and terrible threats but they would not stay van
quished, and whenever he met them he found
himself well drubbed. Finally he suggested to
some of our officers that he thought his men
would fight better if he could only learn few
American oaths.
Governor MoRToS has not learned wisdom
from the experience OF ANPupIA. He labors
under the impression that the people OF Indiana
can be crushed. body and soul. by frothy and de-
mandatory words, and shat windy proclsmations
will bring them humble suppliants to his imperial
knees. craving pardon for crimes never commit
ted, and rolling in the dust that they may bask
in the sunshine of his majestic visage.
The Governor is mistaken in the character OF
the people over whom he has been accidentally
called to rule, and we have serious doubts wheth-
erian exhaustion of his arsenal OF oaths would
meet with any better success. But while he Is
in the proclamation business, We desire to sug-
gest subject for Executive indignation, that be
seems to have forgotten.
His Excellency perhaps remembers that the
Consultation and laws of Indiana forbid the imi-
grafton Of negroes into this State, and the peo-
pie, acting upon the idea that it was desirable
that Indiana should possess an exclusively white
population, have through their representatives,
annexed heavy penalties to bringing that fragrant
class of persons within our borders.
1t is known To His Excelency that portion
OF his political friends. headed by negro preach
ers, and class of white men and women whose
moral, social and intellectual position is
80 low that they are compelled to seek
the society of negroes. have formed what they
call Freedman's Aid Society. whose object is
to import negroes into the State for the purpose
of elevstng our moral ard intellectual condition.
as well as improving the manners aud physical
condition of their unfortunate white brethren.
His Excellency also knows that this interest
ing association has imported into the State hun
dreds of negroes, .and that there is baraco0n in
the northwestern part OF the city where there are
congregated a large number of these persons un-
der the charge of a negro preacher named RE
ykls. who live like the lilies of the valley and
draw regular rations upon which they subsst like
lighting cocks. and present their fat and greasy
csrcasses TO the passers by a. models of we'll fed
Incidence.
These systematic violations OF the law, and
immense influx Of this class OF people. is becom-
ing a source of complaint with all classes and
parties, and they have about made up their minds
that they must cease.
Governor MoRroN has now an opportunity OF
showing the people of the State that he has some
respect for his executive duties, and by en-
forcing the negro law will 10 that extent merit
