The Fight htIu,tCon,mepcea.

The sum of good government was descr bed
by that lliustri0us champion OF Democracy,
Thomas Jefferson. To be "a wise and frugal Gov
ernment, which shall restrain men from inluring
one another; shall leave them otherwise free TO
regulate their pursuits of industry and i'm
proyement, and shall not take from the mouth of
labor the bread it has earned"
To these principles the Democracy adhere to
day. They are the fundamental principles ofour
form of Government. They embody the grand
doctrines OF equal rights.
The recent canvass on the new Constitution
has disclosed that the enemies of these sound
governmental views "stil live" The advocates
of special and exclusive privileges for the bene.
ht of individuals, instead of throwing open all
kinds of business 70 free and full competition
have been sowing their specious falsehoods
broadcast with success which is matter of
surprise 10 all who repose confidence, rs we do,
il. the right sense OF the masses OF the people
Whether, however, the new instrument be
adopted or rejected, this much,is certain, sooner
or later the people viii resume the power oi
which they have been robbed, and hurl from of
fee those whose constant effort has been to i'm.
poverish the masses for the sake of filling their
own pockets.
We remember that in desperate naval en-
gagement. :he Captain of the enemys veS>e
hailed John Paul Jones and asked him if lie haC
surrendoed. The reply was, We've just begun
To fight" and the surrender on the other sld,
in "A few hours The enemies OF the peop e,
rights PROFOUND that nterr0gatUry To day. We
tell them "we've just begun to fight" and We
shall continue the contest ill the grand princi
pie of equal rights is again established ON "A sur,

The Secretaries Of the Army and Navy are in

with 900 rounds of powder, weighing one

A Warning 10 Indiana.

We have no doubt OF the earnestness and faith
funess-nor of the thorough LOYALTY OF such of
the members of the Democratic party OF Indiana
as are making common cause with the Republi
cans OF that State. We have the utmost conf
dence that the uui0n of the two parties for the
purpose of uphollIng the national power, by the
selection of suitable men of tried loyalty, for the
executive offices of the State will be success,
and one dat will do great honor to the patriots
who are engaged in the movement But let US,
in behalf ot the Republicans OF Illinois, who are
reaping the bitter fruit of attempt in the same
direction, give our Indiana friends of the pure
faith the benefit of the caution we have learned.
Let them make their selections for county Offices
with exceeding care; and when members OF the
Legislature to be chosen. let that care be
doubled. Let them see to it that the proposed
union is not confined to the Republican counties
alone. but that il extends the basis accepted
from Laporte to the Ohio river Let them know
that their candidates for all places are not Union
men with an ..if or IA but" else certain disas
ter will be the end of the cooperative endeavor

We understand that Governor Morton, Of In

er. have informed the Board OF Brokers that they
will recommend the Legislature OF Indiana to re-
deem all the bonds of the Slower issue in the
hands of innocent parties. Ii Governor Morton
and Loan Commissioner Brown have the credit
of the State OF Indiana really at heart they will
not wait for the action OF the Legislature, but
will assume the responsibility of recognizing the
bonds at once and Withdrawing them from crcu-
lation. They haze in hand money received from
the General Government which could not be bet
ter employed. So long as this issue. with all its
evidences of authenticity and genuneness, is re
