The coming presidential year promises 20 be
the most eVentful and thrilling in political
sense that we have ever witnessed, anu win
determine questions of the most vital import
ance TO every citizen OF the State and nation.
IL is not 1mprobable-indeed, IL is almost GER
tain that, upon the determination of these
questions, will depend the perpetuity OF our
present system of free government.
These questions Will be thoroughly discussed
during the present session of Congress.
The Sentinel has arranged for hrst-claSs,
experienced special correspondent at Wash
ington, and, I'm addition to giving true ac-
count of all the general proceedings In that
body, will give the leading speeches OF our
most prominent statesmen, and without de-
prlvlng our patrons OF the usual amount OF
reading matter. The Sentinel will hereafter
contain a supplement, making in all slxty
columns of composition.
In word, IL is the purpose OF the sentinel,

Asin rs so In 10 Indiana will be called upon
TO take first position I'm the front OF the great
contest, and upon the success or failure of the
great and gallant Democracy OF our state will
depend the fate of issues the most portentOns

We shah also specially call attent on, from
day to day, as occasion may require, 10 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

ious work, and are attempting by every
means Ia their power to promote its advance
ment. They have failed, utterly failed, to con-
vince our people OF the correctness OF their Do
iitical principles by reason or argument; ;
their appeals TO hatred and prejudice nave
fallen harmless: their lavish and corrupt ex-
penditures of public and private moneys have
proved wholly futile. They propose now by
an African invasion of worse than "A yaDdal
horde of beggars and mendcants TO override
the voice OF the people OF the State, and to
drown the Democratic majority; The last
resort, the forlOrp hope. the assaultipg party,
the picket assailing corps of Republicanism IN
Indiana, Is thus mace up-not from the
Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans or ShacRlefoI dis
of the state; not from the intelligence or
ability OF that party, but is composed OF a
motley, parti-cOlOred gang OF wretched field

Zens and 20 tax our means of home labor and
domestic subsistence for the support OF the
political tSnets of q 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 unhear1t of
method of manufacturing party maiorities 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 ana the states,
one and inSeparRDle-nOw and forever.
The merits of the Sentinel as general news
paper are so well known among the farmers
of. this state especially those OF the Demo-
is deemed supernuous 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
mlscellany-in' word, in its general reading
1t shall not be surpassed by any paper ei.cu-
lated in the State.
1t will be particularly adapted to the family
circle. We do not believe that any reading,
thinking man in the State can AFFORD 10 do
without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost
ut which il is furnished.
