determine questions of the most vital import,
ance TO every citizen OF the State and nation,
1t is not improbable-indeed,i it is almost GER
tain that, upon the determination of thess
questions, viii 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 first-class,
experienced special correspondent at WASH
1ngton, and, in addition to giving q true 40
count of all the general proceedings in that
body, will give the leading speeches of our
most prominent statesmen, and without de-
prtving our patrons OF the usual amount OF
reading matter. The Sentinel will hereafter
contain supplement, making in all sixty
Columns of composition.
In a word, it is the purpose OF the Sentinel,
as steadfaSt Waterman of public intelligence
to do its whole duty in affOrding informatiou

AS in rs so In 80 Indiana will 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 will
depend the fate of issues the most pOrtentOus
ever submitted TO the arbitrament OF free
people.
We shall also specially call attention, from
uay TO DAY, as occasion may require, to an en-
tlrely 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
at Washington, are now engaged in this nefar-
ious 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;
allen 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
qorde OF beggars and mendicants to override
the voice OF the people OF the State, and TO
drown the Democratic majority. The last

ability OF that party, but is composed of q
motley, parti-colorea gang of wretched field
negroes from the South. The froth and scum
of this worthless importation are made use OF
TO destroy the free franchise of resident citi-
zens, and to tax our means of home labor and
domestic subsistence for the support Of the
political tenets of q defeated faction.
The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of
popular rights and popular liberty, predicts

The American Democracy, the Federal

determined that no paper shall furnish so
great practical value to its patrons for the
