THE REPUBLICAN NEGRO-PAU'
PER CONSPIRACY.

Indiana is one of the pivotal states in
the next Presidential election. 1t Is
also a very close State. tits not strange,
therefore, that il should become the seat
Observation-Disclosures ltwas hardly
anticipated that they would embark in
an enterprise OF so bold and bashless
character as that OF importing into that
State q sufficient number of deluded, IL
norlut negroes, and subject them 10
suffering, restitution, and many OF them
to starvation and death, Tor the purpose
of overcoming the Democratic majority
in the election Of 1850.
That this is a deliberate purpose now
being deliberately carried out seems to
be unqueStioncd BY the time these
negroes are needed 20 vote they will
have acquired a citizenship there, or, ii
otherwise, it will be almost an imposSi-
bility to prove that they have not.
Many Of them will, therefore, be emit
tied to q vote under tine laws OF the
State, and the Republicans will claim
that they have done nothing more in
changing thcirrcsiience than any other
citiz. has a right to do. But the crime
connected with the scheme is the inhu-
manity to which the poor creatures are
subjected to accomplish the ends OF a
desperate political plot. The Indianap-
oils N,Uimsi says of it:
The negro exodus now going forward
from North Carolina tO Indiana Illus

the outrage upon Republican Conspira-

will suffice 10 CllJce the deep and dam

worst phases OF slavery. II is crime
against law, and against humanity. II
