Territorial Indemnity.-The Demo
Gratis are .GLsrly accusing the Wings Of
having opposed territorial indemnity from
The Mexicans for the expenses Of The late
war; and they take great credit To them
selves Tor announcing and for carrying out
this policy. They boast as having ac-
qnired territory as indemnify for the past
and security for the future.
Pray, gentlemen, answer the following
questions:

doubtless been bestowed upon it, il viii no doubt re-
ceive a mature and attentive consideration at your
hands. As by q provision of the bill, il will not go
into operation; until approved by a majority of the
people. it will be proper in case Of its passage, to pub
fish and circulate it extensively, in order that every
voter may have an opportunity of fully understanding
its provisions, before he is required to pass upon II
at the ballot box, on the 81 Monday of March next.
| am aware that / have touched upon several top
les, in my views as to which, l shall not be so tortnn-
ate as to have the concurrence OF a portion OF my
fellow citizens-toPlcs too, which some may regard
as of national concernment only, and therefore as in
appropriate,
the prevailing usage in disregard, must have created
a general expectation, that some expression on my
part would be made on the present occasion, in rela-
lion 20 these questions, silence would have given rise
to misconstruction. Feeling it to be my duty to meet
frankly every sneh expectation, believing these
questions to be of wide and moinentus bearing, and
regarding the present crisis III our affairs as iInnli-
nent, have freely advanced sueh views, and indica-
ted such a course OF policy as are, in my judgement,
most conclusive to the prosperity o. the people, and to
the honor and character of the couhtry. In doing so
however, it has been my wish to observe the cause
of truth, without wounding the feelings OF any. The
greatest advance in the onward tide of human i'm
orovement, have taken place under free governments,
and have mainly resulted from freedom OF thought
and of speech. Mere difference ofopinion therefore,
so far as it excites candid discussion, is promotiye OF
the discovery of truth, and as far from being a SUBJ
iect OF regret. But when the too usual, but by no
means necessary attendants upon party divisions,
passion and prejudice, are found to prevail, as to es-
TRANCE hearts that beat in unison upon other great
questions of human c-oncernment,t to sever the ties and
deaden the charities of social intercourse nd1o blunt
the perception of truth itself it exhibits a mournful
picture of human weakness and Is cause otdeep sor-
row to the citizen and patriot.
However we may differ in relation TO such ques-
tons, let US not forget that there are many others ap-
pertaining to us as a State, and lmportant to he pros
perity and happiness of our fellow citizens, as to which
it is hoped we can cordially agree and corporate.
In conclusion it becomes us TO implore the aid OF
Him in whose hands are the destinies of nations, and
without whose aid all our attempts would be vain
that he will be pleased to smile upon our councils,
and bless our efforts for the common welfare,

THE JOURNAL.

'GovERNoR's MEssAGE.-We anticipate our
Thursday's publication in order to lay the Gov
ernor's Message before our readers. It was re-
ceived BY mail on yesterday morning, but not
until our paper for that day had been put to
10 press. The State Journal has the following
brief notice of the document:
The author certainly entertains but little,
confidence in the intelligence of the people or
else he would not attempt to make them be-
lieve that the increased demand for breadstuffs
during the past year was Occasioned by the OPP
Grafton of the Tariff of 1876. WHO does not
know that it was wholly created by afailure of
crops in Europe?
Let plenty a again smile upon the people of
that portion of the world, and they can supply
themselves at a much cheaper rate than it can
he taken to them from our shores.
In regard to the war, the assertion, Contra
dicted as it iseby history and by Calhoun and
Benton that Mexico commenced it by the in
vasion of our soil and by shedding the blood of
American citizens, is repeated. This portion
of the message is too near a copy of the Presi
dents message to shield it from the charge of
plagiarism.
Is it not humiliating to think that a Govern
or of a State should attempt to screen his polit-
lCdI HleuuS HUN Tic feSpOdS!olLh9 Vi dHlCA-
ing Texas by attempting to place it upon the
shoulders of John Tyler? A bold avowal OF
the tr1thwould have commanded more respect.
Why did he not say that the immediate annex
alton of Texas, and the occupancyof the whole
of Oregon, was made the rallyingcry of his par
" by the resolutions adopted at the National
Convention which nominated Mr.. Polk? Does
he suppose that people of this State will forget
that he, and his whole party, advocated the
project with all their strength?
He takes up the worn out song of the Gun
ion" and the President, Of ''indemnity for the
past and security for the future" and sings
it an octave higher. This, he was in duty
bound todo. His allegiance to his party would
not suffer him to do otherwise. The people
will readily perceive that the object Of this de
mand is to rob Mexico of large portion ofhe
territory.
1t is remarkable that the Governor, Will
ascribing the non payment of the debts due b
Mexico to our citizens, as one of the causes O
the war, should acknowledge that Indiana ha
not even paid the interest on her debt for fv
years!

O3The Washington letter-writers speak
more and more confidently ofthe recall of Gen
ersl Scott. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce says:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1913.
General Scott is said to have been recalled
from Mexico. The name of his successor has
not TRANSFERRED. Rumor mentions several gem
erals, but the one who received the appoint
Worth and Pillow and Colonel Duncan have
been ordered to Vera Cruz. where a court mar
tial has been convened to try them upon the
charges which caused their arrest by Gen. Scott.
Orders had been received from Gen. Scott re-
q~uesting officers of the army, now in the Uni
ted States on leave of absence, to return to the
seat of war at the earliest practicable day and
resume their respective commands in the
army. .

ANOTHER REBELLION IN CANADA.-The seed
sown by the Canada rebellion in 1887 seems to
be springing up in various quarters of the Prov
inces. There is a smothered restlessness ev-
identity soon TO burst upon the public:
The English Government has studiously kept
from office the French portion of the inhabit-
ants, while they have constantly imported
springs of the nobility 10 fill all places of any
emolument or honor. The French have borne
with fortitude. They now say boldly thatthey
will submit no longer. Their leading and
wealthy men have banded together for ''reform
and progress" a mild and lawful term for re-
bellion.
