THE PAPER FOB THE PEOPLE
PROSPECTUS FOR 1850.

The coming presidential year promises to be
the most eVentful and thrilling in a political
sense that We have ever witnessed, aud win
ance TO every citizen of the State and nation.
1t is not lmprobable-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 irst-class,
experienced special correspondent at WASH
ington, and, In addition to giving a true
count of all the general proceedings in that
body, will give the leading speeches of our
most prominent statesmen, and without de-
priYing our patrons OF the usual amount OF
reading matter. The Sentinel viii hereafter
contain a supplement, making ia all sixty
Columns OF composition.
In word, II IS the purpose OF the Sentinel,
as a stesdfast Waterman of public intelligence
10 do its whole duty in affording information
TO its subscribers upon all these topics of such
As in 76 so In 80 Indiana will be called upon
60 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 sortentOus
ever submitted to the afhitrament OF free
We shall also specially call attention, from
day TO day, as occasion may require, TO an en-
tirely New Phase In the politics OF our State
we mean the forced emigrationfor temporary
partisan purposes of pauper negroes from the
South into Indiana. The managers and lead
ers of the Republican party, in our State ana
at 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;
tneir appeals 10 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 vandal
UoTde OF beggaFs and mendicants to override
the voice of the people OF the State, and 10
drown the Democratic majority. The last
Il.
the picket assailing corps OF Republicanism IN
Indiana, Is thus MADE up-nOt from The
Hunters, narrisons, Heilmans or Shacklefords
of the state; not rom the Intelligence OF
ability Of that party, but is composed of q
motley, Parti gang of wTetehed field
negroes from the South. The froth and scum
OF this worthless importation are made use of
to destroy the free franchise of resident cit-
zens, and to tax our means of home labor and
domestic subsistence for the support OF the
political tenets of a defeated faction.
The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights Of
popular rights and popular liberty, predicts
With respect 10 this before unheard OF
method OF manufacturing party majoTities In
State. We shall at al times give the latest and
most reliable intelligence.
The American Democracy, the Federal
Union, the rights of the people and the States,
one and inseparsDle--now and forever.
The merits of the Sentinel as general news
paper are so Wen known among the farmers
of this state, especially those Of the Demo-
cratic persuasion, that commentator Of 10
as deemed superhuous. We VIII add, however,
that the management has arranged and fully
determined that no paper shall furnish so
great practical value TO its patrons for the
In its news, its editorials, its literary and
mlscellsny-in word, in It's general readingA
10 shall not be surpassed by any paper cireu-
lated in the Stale.
1t will be particularly adapted 10 the family
circle. We do not believe that any reading,
thinking man in the state can afford to do
without the Weekly Sentinel al the small cost
At which IL is furnished.
