A few evenings ago the Indianr

Lane at his headquarters, and loudl,
called for speech, which he gave them
TWAS war s,eeck, aud sucl. one as
seems good to read aOcr the mcoly.
ooulhcd addresses which some of cur
generals hav' given to the people Of the
sections through which they passed.
But We are lappy to know that a. radic-
al as Con. lane is, h. docs not 10 be-
iyond the position Of the Secretary of
War himself in his opinion Of the cause

tracts as w have room for from the Cen

then we are required 60 cooperate with
the. enemy, 20 help him, to defend hitr
and to work Tor the same end. Can We
place ourselves thus IN alliance with our
deadly aud burbarous foes, aud az the

are rcconcilcd, wo will think OF harmon

SLAVES AND SOLDIERS.
Astounding as it may appear to you,
.gentlcnen from Indiana, yet il is fact.
we have repeatedly demonstrated, that a
heavier blow is dealt out TO the realm of
seccssia in the abduction or freedom of u
sluve than the killing Of soldier in
lfrms. Yes, and I may put the truth In a
stronger light still. Abduct from the
same lnmily slave, aud kill in arms a
son, and the loss of the slave will be re-
gnrded as the greater mislortunc-thc
calamity for which there is no hcalinu
balm. | could bring up more than a

Therefore, give them the defensive
