The ImmInent DanEer-A sPeek OF
Rebelllon In Indiana.


The stump-sPeakiug Of traitors in India
ma, which has been going on for some
weeks is producing the effect that might be
expected. DemagOgues Of the worst des-
cription; the tools of the Deanest despO
tism on earth, but calling themselves Demo-
| Gratis and using the names Of Jefferson and
Jackson, as if they, too, were pro slavery
disunionists, have been going about the
! country, declaring the war to be '.for mig
gers" and the President of the United
States, 'FTbe Abolition Tyrant.D They
have been lying. with all the ingenuity
| they possess, TO prejudice uniuformed peo-
pie against the Constitutional Government
Of the United States, and TO mouse their
sympathies for the rebels, who they ar
que are fighting the battles Of the De-
noeEacy against the "Abolition Tyran-
n.y." Oue eousequeuce--aud one pro-
bably calculated upon-is the resistance
of the draft at Hartford, Blaekford cOuu-
ty, Indiana, the destruction OF the bal
lot-box and enlistment rolls, and the
constrained flight of the Commissioner.
The iRsUTTeetiOn, for it is nothing else, is
backed by two hundred armed men. A
part of regiment has been sent for TO put
it down. Here are the elements, organized
and in the field, of civil war in Indiana So

Certainly they will do so, If their deluded
followers do not at once repudiats their

The traitors in Indiana mean to help
their "SOuthern brethren"-Aud they
would, il they were ready for it, directly
instigate blOodshed on their own soil to do
it. These facts should be a solemn and
startling warning to the people eveIy
where throughout the Nor b. They show
the absolute necessity, for the preservation
of peace at home, that there should be no
resistance to the constituted authorities,
and that fActiOus, malignant opposition to
the Government should cease. The men
who are trying to excite seditious spirit
in the people by the most diabOlieal lying
as to the origin aud objects OF the war. are
incendiaries, whose proceedings endanger
the peace of the community, aud imperil
every mans fireside. One Ohio traitor,
Edsou B. Olds, declared that he saw, as in
a vision, blood aI the ballot box this fall.

demagOguery and partisan eontentiOn in
this crisis OF our history.-CiH. Com.
