The annual State election is near at hand. Arc
tho whigs fully conscious Of its Importance, and
the oreat interests involved in the result thereof!
Do they rccolIcct that the members of the Logis-


~.---~-. .,,,I,.is,d -,
for some one TO fill tho scat now occupied by tho
Hon. A. S. White, in the Senate of tho United
States! Do they fully appreciate the necessity
of having that place filled by whig-a friend
to the protective policy of our covornment-tho
distributions Of tho proceeds of the sales of tho
public lands among tho Statcs-thc charterng Of
a national Bank, and the maintainanco of the
salutarv measures advocated by the whg party!
Never las there time existed IN this coun-
trv since the day of its organization, which call
cd more impcrativcly for every TO do his du
~. than does the present. Tho enemies of tho
protective pocy-thc life blood of our existence
as Reputlic.-are cXcrting all their energies to
break down that salutary measure, and build up
on It's ruins. the doctrine Of Free Trade Will
the wings of Indiana add another vote in tho Sen
ate to that which is already there to carry out tho
policy of political oppononts. It IS in their
power to place Il whg there. and thcy will be Just

country, if they do not do it. Tho election OF a
whir United States Senator should be sufficient
to bring every whig to tho election; but there arc
other important Offices to fill. and those intimately
connected with the domestic affairs of our own
State. The office of Secretary of State will
have to be flcd-a director III the Board OF the
State Bank to be elected; and many mntters high
ly important in state government Will have
to be acted upon. hence we hope that every whig
in the state will do his duty.


The result of the State election. be It what it

the great principles for which We have been 50

want of activity IN the PRONUNCIATION OF our prln-
ciples. we should now be defeated, all previous
labor will be los.-all our fond hopes crushed,
and our country ruined. AL our interests are IN
volyed in that issue and in the language Of the
eloquent CLAYTON. ..the great question to be decl-
ded by that election is a question of BREAD-a
question whether shall abandon tho whole
principle Of protection extended TO the laboring
classes of this country. by the Tariff act of lSl2
and adopt in lieu of it. Tariff discriminating
for revenue and against protection, a question
whether we shall 90 back. By our own voluntary

surrender to England one of the most essential
blessings resulting from that independence fol
