GENERAL McDoUGALL.-W call especial
attention TO the letter of our special cores
pondent, "Capitol," and endorse it, heartily.
We are rcjoiccd to see that the chances Of
Gen. McDougall for an election aye iucreas-
ing. He can be elected if the Douglas and
johnson party in the Legislature are but true
TO the principles which placed them in their
present position. As party men, they are
bound in honor to support him as the nomi-
nee of the Democratic Caucus. We suspect
more available candidate could have been
nominated But, be that as it may, General
McDougall is the nominee, and no true party
man can now either fail to sustain him or
be guilty Of yielding him a lukowarm sup
port.
Every member of the Legislature who Is
| friendly to the Uni,n, and looks to its preser-
vation, may safely vote for Gen. McDougall.
Every man who is opposed to the reasonable
schemes now on foot for the establishment of
a Pacific Republic may also safely vote for
him. Every man who is in favor of a recog-
milton of the just rights of the South and a
fair adjustment of existing difficulties, may
rely upon him in all emergencies that can
arise. Heis tho man for the position.
In intellect he stands in the foremost ranks
of the first intellects of this State, and his
voice must have weight on the side of what
ever cause he espouscs.

Democrat in the Legislature to give his

TuE INDIAN TERRITORY.

West of Arkansas and south Of Kansas lies the
Indian Territory, q vast tract of land set apart
for the use of the Indian tribes. The last Con-
gress, in giving boundaries to Kansas, set that
State many miles north of 36c so, because it
was said part of the Indian Territory lay north
of that line This Iudian Territory is governed
BY the Indians themselves, and is not represented
in Congress. According to recent adyices, the
Indians inhabiting this Territory are in arms
against the United States, and in open alliance
with JEFF. Davis and his crew. Such being the
case, it will become the duty Of Congress TO
teach these Indians that their " Great Father"
at Washington is resolved to disinherit them and
revoke all their grants. Not being citizens oil the
United States, they are alien enemies, and they
ought to bo conquered as such, and oil their
privileges derived from Federal law vigorously
taken from them. A Free Territory, and then
Free State, with the WInot Proyiso in its Con-
stitution, would be az excellent thing to lie be-
tween Arkansas and Texas, bordering on both,
and We trust Congress will appreciate the i'm
portance of extending civilization to those be-
nghted regions by appropriatiDg the Indian Ter
rtory to freedom.
II is a curious fact that those Indians are
shareholders. To be the slave of o white man is
bad enough but to be the slave Of lazy lout OF
an Indian is degradation unspeahable. For all
purposes of civilization the negro is the superior
of the Indian, and the holding Of negro slaves by
a set Of beastly, drunken sayages should be pro.
hbited by act of Congress. We are sure there
is nothing in the Constitution to prevent such an
enactment.

THE WAR AND SLAVERY.

Many persons seem anxious to cOmpGcate the
struggle now making for and against the integ-
rity of the Union with questions concerning the
perpetuation of Slavery. Some require the War
for the Union to be War for the extinction
of Slavery; while others would have pledges
given by the Unionsts that Slavery shall in no
case suffer from our triumphs. Each Of these
demands is in our eyes untimely and uDreasOn-
able. This War is in truth War for the pres-
eryatiOn Of the Union, not for the destruction of
Slavery; and it would ALLEVIATE many ardent
Unionists to pervert it into War against Sla-
very. And. on the other hand, no pledges can be
given that Slavery shall receive no damage from
a Union triumph because (among other reasons)
no one can foresee how the Saveholding interest
the testimony of cool observers that
the conspiracy against the life of the
Nation is rather that of the political
aspirants than the shareholders Of the South
that, as general rule, the shareholders have
been but reluctant hackers of Secession, nine
tenths Of whose noisiest champions are as desti-
tute of slaves as Of loyalty or patriotism. If the
shareholders as class would only speak and act
as they think and feel we should have the head
conspirators before Grand Juries within three
months. That the South, and especially the slave
holders, whose property is visible and tangible,
are destined to be ruined by Secession, is plain

Kentucky has men and probably arms, for
enough certainly have been stolen hpm the United
States to supply the whole South. Bat she wants
organization, for which she need, time; and, what
is more indispensable still, che wants powder.
We have the assurance OF one who knows almost
TO pound the supply Of guupOwder in different
States, that there are not FIVE hundred kegs in
Kentucky. Is it not mere faulty to put any
faith in the loyalty of State which is marshal
ing her soldiers but is prevented solely BY this
want of ammunition from yenturing upon any
hostile act9
The Western people, thus far, have shown
themselves quite capable Of taking care of them
selves, and we have, therefore, very little fear
for Cairo. The city, as everybody knows, is on
the delta at the confluence Of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers; but it is not so generally
known that it is unapproachable except BY
water. Above it, in Illinois, it is cut OIL from
the main land by sort of bayou, crossed by the
Illinois Central Railroad on piles, as well as by
miles of swamp, so that on this side it can only
be approached by the Railroads. thing not
probable in any case, and easily prevented II 1t
were. On the opposite side Of the Mississippi
river, in Missouri, and On the opposite side ot
the Ohio, in Kentucky, are miles of swampy
jungle, almost if not quite impenetrable to man
or beast. There is no such thing possible,
therefore, as an attack by land, for there is
really no land within half dozen miles on
which single company of soldiers could find
foothold. The only approach, therefore, is BY
the rivers, and batteries which have been erect
ed, it is to be hoped, are sufficient for its pro-
lection in this direction. But it is also TO be
hoped that no reliance is placed by tie Govern
ment in the loyalty of either Kentucky or Mis-
souri,, for their present attitude is that not
merely of foes, but of treacherous foes who will
betray as well as strike.

enough, though it is not likely that they come

an agent would doubtless know enough 70 Keep
his information from the public.
r The impression gains ground that the forces
at Harpers Ferry are intended not to act against
Washington, but for an inroad into Pennsylvania,
and that the whole Southern army will be used
for this purpose in case the lines of defense OF
the Federal City prove to be too strong to be
forced. Apprebensions ore felt in Pennsylvania
on this point, and there is doubtless some danger
of marauding incursiOns, though not of any gen.
eral advance of the Confederate army. Now
that Washington is secure no time should be lost

One short year ago, the Seceders owned,

composed of men who were the ayowcd and
steaifast allies Of the Seceders against anti
Slavery opinions eyerywhere-of men who loved
the Union, or at least everywhere aud upon all
possible occasions proiessed to love it. This
party, though minority, was powerful minor
ity--abe, in spite of tho popular vote, to control
