Sans Dsceass and sambo's crueifxiOu
Saturday last was a proud day for the gal
liant Democracy of Old Montgomery day
which will long be remembered by them as
the occasion of the largest gathering of the
People-ths honest PeOple-and the most en-
thusiastic outpouring and assemblage of the
hari listed yeomaury Of the good old Dem
ocrasis pafty, ever Witnessed N this section
Of the Hoosier State.
The clarion notes Of the trump of Liberty
are ringing and reverberatins through the
hills and valleys of Southern aud South We
tern Indiana-calling upon our people to arm
and come up to the great battle for our Coun-
try's eause-our Country's Constitution-our
National Union. And the shrill sounds are
finding an echo in every Democratic heart
are awakening the honest masses to the immi-
nent peril Of the Confederacy from the fanat-
| ieisms Of Abolitionism, and the still more
ton which has been conceived in sin, brought
forth in iniquity, and is spreading its pesti-
lential reasons throughout the land, under
the name of Americanism. We rejoice, how
ever, that the corrupt faction has not nor
will not succeed in subverting our Govern
ment and rearing in its stead their sectional,
ansrchial rule
The people aroused against these mid
night plOtters-these Catalinian conspatOrs
these pollntors of our young men and de-
basers of our oid-these hirelings Of cor
rupt system which would rob the American
citizen Of his character for bold independ-
ence, and fetter his mind, his heart and his
conscience with the bonds of esuitical sys-
tenn of espionage, secrecy and prescription,
(which knows no parallel, even among the
days of France. The Democracy and the
