which One is 20 be Believed,


1t is evident that there were several hands at
Thursday. for their statements or arguments do
not tally. The Ostensible editor, in referring to
the military movements in the Southwest, re.
Izarks:
The campaign in the Mississippi valley is
nearly over. One more Eight will finish it,
With the crushing Of the rebellion ia the West,
sbe Confederate Government will be practically
destroyed 1t may last in name for "a month or
two. but us ppwer will be gone, its officers refu
gees, and It's name Jest and by-wOrd. The
days OF the rebel Government are numbered
Another editor. said to be His ExcelIency. the
Governor; in an elaborate and urgent appeal "to
the people OF Indiana - to favor the
Union movement. takes an opposite
view Of the duration OF the war The
appeal for unity, the abandonment of all party
issues and pIzifurms. is based upon the necessity
OF such course to sustain the Government in
its efforts to overcome the rebellion. The Gov
error editor says:
The rebels are calling additional troops into
the field, and y0wing that their separation from
the loyal States Is hual and forever"
Which to believer The ostensibIe edi-
tor Of the Journal says. The campaign in the
Mississippi valley * nearly over The days Of
rebel government are numbered" If this view
OF the duration of the war is correct, it takes the
wind out Of the very eloquent. and Of course un-
selfish. appeal of the Governor to the people, 70
permit, by general consent. the continuation Of
the political power Of the country with those
whonow have the direction of the Government
There is beyond every question perfect pro
prirty in the Republican party abandoning their
organization, their party platform and their party
Issues They have brought the country to its
present condition. and if honest and patriotic
they should turn from the error Of their ways.
But there is no necessity or propriety in the
Democratic party abandoning its organization or
its political creed As il ever has been, il IS now
the PARTY or TIE USIos. The Democracy have
ever sustained the Government, and now, rs they

scented by their wisdom and visfue, and they
will ever cling TO them, the ship wrecked

MCCLELLAN and his gallant army have achey-
ed great triumph in forcing the enemy to evac-
uare their strong Notifications at Yorktown,which
are in possession of our forces. The rebels have
fallen back upon Chickacoming Greek, where
IT is expected they will make a stand. Thus
another successful advance has been made
con to Richmond" which must ere long
be another trophy to our victorious arms The
fall Of Richmond and the defeat of BEAUREGARD,
events which now seem near at hand. must COM
petely demOralize and dispense the rebel armies.
General Scorr said few days ago that the war
win surely be virtually over by the first of July
next With the utmost confidence he expresses
the opinion that by that time we will have COM
pletely subdued and driven the rebels from the
field. The prediction viii probably be verified.

An Abolition Disunion Senator At
tacks Gen. McCO0k.

Mr.. Sumner, the notorious Abolition Disunion
Senator from Massachusetts, made an indecent
attack yesterday upon General McCook, Of this
city, and upon the Provost Marshal OF Louisville,
because they, like sensible, patriotic men, devo-
ted to the Union and the Constitution, ard to the
best Interests of their country, have surrendered
fugitive slaves to their owners. Sumner, a num-
Der of years ago, when asked by a Senator if he
would obey that clause in the Constitution
which declared fugitives from service shall
be surrendered, replied us thy servant
dog that he should do this thingf" he considers
man a dog who obeys the Constitution. This
man Sumner also INDUCED in bitter vituperation
of Generals Hooker, Buell. and Haleck, as he
had previously of Others of our best officers he
is constantly pouring fire of slang into the rear
OF our Generals By his shameful and ribald
tongue. De is an open advocate for the destruc-
ton of the Union, and yet be is allowed to get
up in the Senate day alter day and assai those
who are fighting for it in the field, risking their
lives where he would not hazard the most minute
portion of his cowardly person.-Cin. Enquirer

sionism at the South, and il is no less duty, if
we ever hope to have reunited Government,
that the other heresy, the producing cause of the
rebellion, should be buried with it. The power
Of Abolitionsm to do further mischief should be
eifectually suppressed. No vitality should be
permitted it under the guise Unionism, or by al
lowing it to merge into and control falsely
called "Union party" There should be no
leaven of Abolitionism in the party which is to
direct the dessinies of this mighty nation, if we
expect peace, a union of hearts, a voluntary and
cordial support of the Government, such as dis
tngushed the early and better DAYS of the Re
public, and by which alone orr free institutions
can be maintained and perpetuated.
This idea should be kept prominently before
the people in the great work of. restoring the
Union. ~.
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1862-05-05


THIS is followed BY a resolution declaring that
We owe il TO the Sovereign Ruler of the uni
verse, az proof of our allegiance to Him. in al
our civil relations and Offices, whether as private
citizens OF as public f.nctionaries sworn to sup
port the Constitution of the United States 70 re-
gard and treat the third clause of the fourth
ticle of that instrument whenever applied to the
case of fugitive slave, ms utterly null and void,
and consequently as forming no part of the Can
stitution of the United States, whenever we are
called upon or sworn to support it.
The men who thus boldly repudiated part of
the Constitution of the United States as null and
void, and of no obligation upon those who should
swear to support it, are mostly still living. They
lead the Republican party and swarm in Con-
gress and the executive departments of the Gov
eminent. Every one of them are pe1urers. They
place their own corrupted consciences above all
law, and take nc oaths without mental reserva-
ton. The rule of such men is necessarily dan.
gerous and destructive We shall have no peace
and prosperity until we are rid of them wholly
They are not only unsafe in the Senate and in
the Cabinet but they are bad citizens in every
relation of life. They could not be trusted on
the bench, in the jury room, nor on the witness
stand Their political code of morals is beneath
that of the heather or the savage. The whole
world shows DO instance of more defiant dsre
gard Of the fundamental principles upon which
the Government is based.-Miltoaukee Ne,cs.

The southern whites TO Leave.

The New York.Post, while advocating eman-
cipation and all other kinds of good things for
the negroes of the South, says that if the whites
should be dissatisfied they had better leave. They
are thus addressed:
go in peace; take your goods with you; seek
more congenial chmes-sail to Cuba, or Brazil,
if YOU will, where you will find even slavery ex-
listing to please you; or, if you would revel in
that species of barbarsm, the whole continent of
Africa is open to you, excepting only Sierra Leone
and Liberia"
Thus the war is carried on, not for the Consti-
tuition, nor the Union, nor. even tor emancipation
alone, but for the expatration of our white citi-
zens.
Do the deluded followers of these Abolition
leaders ever reflect to where their steps are di
rected? They have been taught to believe that
general and immediate emancipation would he a
Christian thing. A few days reflection has
already taught them that they can not receive the
negroes at the North, and that it will not DO to
free them without colonizing them, and that il
will be immoral to colonize them without their
consent, which but few will give. Therefore,
now that confiscation is within their grasp, they
don't know what to do Some of them begin to
believe that so far as genuine philanIhropic re-
gard for the negro is concerned, he had better be
left in his present condition, unless better one
can be pointed out for him, which not single
Abolition agitator has yet been able to do.
They will be equally embarrassed with this
proposed persecution of the Southern whites to
Cuba or Mexico. These Southern people, burn
ing with hate, and seeking opportunity of revenge
for real or fancied wrongs, might plant them
selves in Mexico, and there erect republic of
their own, as these same people once did in Texas.
| What would be the result? They would be re-
cognized BY the world-the United States not ox-
cepted-as an independent government. Would
/ they be to US what Texas was-a friendly sister?
Would not these two American republics present
pair of beautiful models for the imitation of the
Old World? Would not the heart of despotic
kings sink in view of these examples of popular
government-with their mutual feuds, their i'm
mense forts, armies and navies? The picture is
suggestive. Let the rank and file of the Repub
lcan party reflect upon Springfield (IA) Reg

MEDIAroS AND CoMPRoMIsE.-Special dis
patches from Washington say there is rumor
that the Government is in possession of informa-
ton which may possibly lead to a cessation Of
hostilities Mediation and compromise form the
basis Of the rumor. The dispatch says ii is
sdoubtful" We presume the report is prema-
ture, and there are yet there millions of
hearts now secretly yearning for return Of peace
on a basis which shall lead to lasting restora-
ton of the Union and secure that harmony and
fraternal feeling which formerly existed.-Nesc

FRANK BLAIR. the Republican member of Con-
