THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPI E
PROSPECTUS FOR 1850.

The coming presidential year promises to be the
most eventful and thrilling in political sense
questions of the most vital importance to every
citizen of the State and nation. 1t is not improh-
determination of these questions will depend The
perpetuty of our present system of free govern
ment.
These questions will be thoroughly discussed
during the present session of Congress.
The Sentinel has arranged for a first class, ex-
perieneed. special correspondent at Washington,
general proceedings in that body. Will give the
leading speeches OF our most prominent statesmen
ana without depr1ying our patrons of the usual
amount of reading matter. The Sentinel will here
after contain supplement, making in all Sixty
Columns Of composition.
In word, 1t is the purpose of The Sentinel as a
steadfast Waterman of public intelligence. to do
Its whole duty in affording information to its sub
scribers upon all these topics of such vast moment
As in 10 so in 80 Indiana will be called upon to
take first position in the front of the great con-
test, and upon the success failure of the great
AMI gallant Democracy of our State will de-
pend the fate OF issues the most portentous ever
submitted to the arbitrament off free people.
We shall also specially call attention. from day

mean the forced emigration for temporary parti-
purposes of pauper negroes from the South
into Indiana. The managers and LEADERS of tie
Republican party, in our State and at Washington,
ale now engaged in this nefariOus work, and are
attempting by every means in their power to pro-
mote its advancement. They have failed utterly

harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures Of
public and private moneys have proved wholly
futile. They propose now by an African invasion

State, and TO drown the Democratic majority The

tenets of defeated faction.
The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights OF popu-
lar rights and popular liberty predicts that this
movement will also be a failure.
With respect to this before unheard of method

shall at all times give the latest and most reliable
intelligence.

inseparable-now and forever.
The merits of The sentinel as general newspa-

shall furnish so great practical value to its pa

In its news. its editorial its literary and miscel-
lany-in word, in its general reading IL shall not
be surpassed by any paper circulated in the State.
1t will be particularly adapted TO the family
circle. We do not believe that any reading think

furnished.
