brought to bear in such way as will oper-
ate favorably to the success of the Repub-
lican party.
Every obstruction that the administration
could throw in the way Of the success or
progress of the Democracy has been seized
with an avidity equaled only by the wicked
ness ofthe design. For four years the Radical
leaders have been actively engaged in ar
ranging their plans, whereby they would be
able to secure the electoral vote Of this State.
1t having been repeatedly and successfully
demonstrated that the influence Of the ad-
ministration or the profuse use of money
were powerless TO shake the patriotic integ-
rity of this people, their adherence to prin-
ciple or swerve them in the performance of
duty The Democracy of this State, under
the guidance of patriotic men, have broken
the Vaccinations of bad men before the
sanctity of the constitution, assured their ac-
tive sovereignty to law, and manifested the
controlling power of public spirit in her
people, upon which the future can repose in
hope and without fear.
1t is an historical fact that the Republican
party, driven to desperation attheir repeated
failures to capture this State, inaugurated and
executed a scheme, the perfdy and villainy
of which must have aroused the indigna-
ton of every honest and intelligent person
throughout the country.
The poor ignorant negroes of the South,
"the wards of the Nation" have by this
very same party been made the victims of
one of the most cruel and gigantic swind-
ling operations, the Freedman's Bank, that
has ever cursed the land with such hideous
proportions, have been selected as the instru-
ments by which the electoral vote of the old
"Hosier State" is TO be captured and given to
the Republican party. To this end, the most
extravagant and ford inducements have
been held out to the ignorant, unlettered
and credulous in certain regions of the
Southern States. They were led to believe
that the State Of Louisiana was "land of
milk and honey" that even in idleness,
that which they do most love, they would
be supported comfortably, if not luxuriously.
Homes would be procured for them, if not
without cost, at trihing expense, and upon
such terms as they might select. How far
these poor creatures have been deceived,
what sutferings they have undergone or to
what extent they have been made the tools
of a set of desperate and wicked men, in all
probability we will never be able to learn.
A congressional investigation has unrav-
eled many of the wrongs which this class
of people have been subjected to. They
: have succeeded in exposing to public exc
Grafton the criminals who have been promi-
nent in the originating and manipulating OF
f this bold deception. They have shown that
T large numbers have been successfully oper-
: ated upon, and that the true object of this
c exodus was to remove sufficient number
c of blacks to Indiana in order to overcome
the Democratic majority which this State
has been giving for the past ten or twelve
p years.
!, Nor is this ALL In order to control thii
;, vote which they have removed to the State
"A and hold their native vote, we have evi
dence of the fact that the business men an,
private bankers in the Republican ranks o
j. the Eastern cities are unloading their Golfer
n and secretly pushing their funds into In
= diana. They have been made to feel anC
realize that the defeat of Porter, for Gov
a ernor, on the 18th instant, and the election
of Landers, the Democratic candidate, will
!, so demoralize the Republican party thai
they will hardly be able to make respecta
BILE fight on the 2nd of November. Is il
N possible to suppose that the intelligence and
h honesty of the country will longer permit
d such disturbing and subverting element to
n warp and control the destiny of the Nation
a Notwithstanding the various influences
t which have been brought to bear by the
r Republican party, we have an abiding con-
Y fidence that the Democracy will come out
e of the great fight with honor and glory and
/, flushed with victory Time and again this
G gallant State has been the battle field, and
invariably have her people decided in favor
u of Democratic principles.
In the great national fight OF 1850 In
diana has clasped hands with the "Key-
stone of the Federal Arch" and her sons
will never allow her to be found wanting
in such struggle The sparks of the cleo
trio telegraph on the evening of the 18th
= will kindle blaze of enthusiasm through
out the land, and arouse every man to an
: energetic appreciation of the duty that de-
: wolves upon him in this great campaign. The
latest information which we have from this
State, and we think it correct, is to the eff
feet that Indiana will be Democratic by at
; least ten thousand majority.
