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
ment. They have failed, utterly failed, to con-
vince our people of the correctness of their po-
Htical 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
UOrde of beggars and mendicants TO override
the voice OF the people of the State, and TO
GROWN the Democratic majority. The last

The merits of the Sentinel as ageneral news

OF this State, especially those Of the Demo-
as deemed superduous. 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.

miscellany-in a word, in its general reading
IL shall not be surpassed by any paper circu-

at which il Is furnished.
