PROSPECTUS FOR 1850.

: The coming presidential year promises to tie
the most eveDtful and thrilling in a political
sense that we have ever Witnessed, and viii
determine questions of the most vital import
ance to every citizen OF the Sta e and nation,
1t IL not nnprobable-indeed, Il is almost GER
tain that, upon the determination of these
questions, viii depend the perpetuity OF our
present system of free government.
during the present session of Congress.
The Sentinel has arranged for first-ciass,
experienced special correspondent at Wash
1ngton, snd, in addition to giving true 40
count OF al the general proceedings In that
body, viii give the leading speeches of our
most prominent statesmen, and without de-
prlvlng our patrons OF the usual amount OF
reading matter. The Sentinel win hereafter
contain q supplement, making in all sixty
Columns Of position.
In word, it is the purpose OF the Sentinel,
as steadfast Waterman OF public intelligence
~ do its whole duty in affording Information
TO Its subscribers upon all these topics of such
AS In rs SO In 80 Indiana viii be called upon
to take first position in the front Of the great
contest. and upon the success or failure OF the
great and gallant Democracy of our State viii
depend the fate Of issues the most portentouE
ever submitted 70 the arbitrament OF free
people s Cham e,so snec,auv COLL o.,sn,,o, from,
day to day, as occasion may require, TO an en-
tirely New Phase in the politics of our State
we mean the forced emigration for temporary
partisan purposes OF pauper negroes from the
South into Indiana. The managers and lead /,
| ers OF the republican party, In our State and
st Washington are now engaged in this nefar-
! tous work, and are attempting by every
means In their power to promote its advance
| ment. They have failed, utterly failed, TO con-
vince our people of the correctness of their po-
| litical principles by reason or argument
| their appeals to hatred and prejudice nave
allen harmless: their lavish and corrupt ex-
1 penditures OF public and private moneys have
| proved wholly futile. They propose now by
| QorGe OF beggars and mendicants to override
me voice of the people of the State, and to
GROWN the Democratic majority. The last

| the picket assailing CORPS of Repubncanisrn In
/ Indiana, Is thus maze up-nOt from the
Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans or Shacklefords
/ of the State; not from the intelligence or
/ ability or that party, but is composed of q
motley, parti-cOlored gang Of wretehed field
| negroes from the South. The froth and scum
| of this worthless importation are made use OF
/ TO destroy the free franchise of resident citt-
zens, and TO tax our means Of home labor and
domestic subsistence for the support OF the
| political tenets of defeated faction.
| The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights OF
popular rights and popular liberty, predicts
| that this movement will also be failure.
With respect TO this before unheard OF
method OF manufacturing party majorities In
State, we shall al all times give the latest and
most reliable intelligence.
The American Democracy, the Federal
Union. the rights of the people and the States,
one and inseparR ble-now and forever.
The merits of the Sentinel as a general news
paper are so well known among the farmers
cratic persuasion, that commendation of il
is deemed superfuous. We will add, however,
/ that the management has arranged and fully
determined that no paper shall furnish so
great practical value to its patrons for the
money.
In its news, its editorials, its literary and
miscelany-in q word, in ats general reading
IL shall not be surpassed by any paper circus
! lated In the State.
IL Will be particularly adapted to the family
circle. We do not believe that any reading,
thinking man in the State can AFFORD to do
without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost
at which Ii Is furnished.
