fcorrrrrrn FROM r1Rsr pAaE.1

Magistrate of our beloved country, in
the hour Of its greatest peril, we cannot
wholly decline. We are willing TO trust
every question relating to their interest
and happiness 20 the consideration and
ultimate Judgment of our own people,
While differing from you as to the neces-
sity Of emancipating the slaves Of our
States as q means of putting down the
rebellion, and while protesting against
the propriety Of an extra territorial in
reference to induce the people Of our
State 20 adopt any particular line Of
policy on a subject which peculiarly and
exclusively belon IS 20 them, yet when
you and our brethren Of the loyal States
sincerely believe that the retention Of
slavery by us is an obstacle TO peace and
national harmony, and are willing 10
contribute pecuniary aid TO compensate
our States and people for the inconven-
fence produced by such system, we arc
not unwilling that our people should con
slider the propriety Of putting it aside.
But we have already said that we re-
garded this resolution as the utterance of
a sentiment, and we had no confidence
that il would assume the shape Of tan
gible practical proposition, (which would
yield the fruits Of the sacafice it required
Our people are influenced by the same
want Of confidence, and will not consider
the proposition in its present impalpable
form. The interest they are asked TO
give up is to them of immense import
ance, and they ought not to be expected
even 10 entertain the proposal until they
are assured that when they accept IL
their just expectations will not be frus-
trated. We regard your plan as a prop
osition from the nation to the States 10
exercise an admitted Constitutional right
in particular manner and yield up a
valuable interest. Before they ought to
consider the proposition, it should be
presented in such tangible, practical,
efficient shape as TO command their con-
fidence that its fruits are contingent only
upon their acceptance. We cannot trust
anything to the contingencies of future
legislation. If Congress, by proper and
necessary legislation, shall provide suili-
Gent funds, and place them at your dis
posal to be applied by you TO the pay
ment of any of our States, or the citizens
thereof who shall adopt the adjustment
of slavery, either gradual or immediate,
as they may determine, and the expense
of deportation and colonization Of the
liberated slaves, then will our States and
people take this proposition into careful
consideration, for such decision as in
their Judgment is demanded by their in
terests, their honor and their duty to the
whole country.
We have the honor to be, with great
respect,

We think with the Indianapolis Journal
that the business of protecting the pro-
perty of rebels by soldiers who were
sent out TO fight the rebels is very
poor one. 1t is a groos abuse and we
ought TO reform it altogether"
REFORM It Altogether.
We have recently seen a number of
letters from our army in Mississippi and
Tennessee, complaining bitterly of the
leniency, or rather favor, shown to rebels
by our Generals. If the favor extended
no farther than mere ciyility, or protec-
ton from insult, nothing would probably
be thought of it, but il goes the length Of
protection of rebel property TO the injury
Of our own men. One man writes that
his General dimes frequently with a
prominent rebel family, associates with
them on the most friendly terms, and
forbids the soldiers taking an ear Of
corn, or an onion, from the plantation,
though hundreds are sick from the con-
slant use of hard bread and salt meat.
Fresh vegetables are just what they need,
but they must not take them from the re-
bells Another writes that he has stood
guard for days over a vast cornheld
which the owner boasts is planted al tho
order of the Confederate Government
and shall be devoted to the support Oft
rebel army. Colonel Coburn writes from
Cumberland Gap that bis regiment, the
SD Indiana, is placed as a guard over
the farm OF Telel Colonel H0l0 aot,iaYy en-
gagod IN hosahhes against ms, that his men
need fresh vegetables and pure water
aud this rebel officers farm can furnish
both, but they must so without, because
the General has 80 ordered it, There il
corn, wheat, potatoes, all sorts Of yege-
tables, everything that men most need
and that would do most TO keep thcm In
good spirits, lying in abundance within
reach, but not a mouthiul dare they
touch. And this store house Of necessa-
ries belongs % qyels1l B'c zone Of Morgan's
robber band, one OF those who plundered
our hospital at Newburg and killed one
OF our citizens. We are protecting him

SECESSION JUSTIFIED.

NA''AN-' 49, - AA'A''
The Indiana STATE Sentinel, the leading
organ of the Buchanan Democrats, said:
eve are no longer united States. The
secession of one State diss0lUes the Union
and each State assumes as original, in4epend-
ent condition. with full power to reconstruct
the old Government or form ne10 alliances.
A union or compact broken by one party
cannot be binding upon another-if one is
absolved from its obligations thereto all
parties are released.
owe assumed the position a few DAYS
since that the withdrawal Of one or more
States from the Union dissolved the Gov
eminent, bringing TO an end the machin-
cry connected with it. And is it not cor
rect? In whose service are the Presi-
dent, members of Congress, Judges and
Marshals of the Federal Courts, Custom
house officers Postmasters, etc, commits
stoned? Is il not that of the United
States? And when the Union is dissolv-
ed by the secession of one or more States,
does not the tenure of all offices il created
fall with it?
We might had we space to spare, quote
columns Of furious dcnunciation from a
class Of Northern newspapers whose par
tisan feelings seem to be greater than their
patriotism, and who tell us that the coun-
try cannot be saved unless they are restor-
ed to power Yes, the Nation must be re-
stored to the keeping of BUCHANAN, Back
INRmGE, FLoYD, THoNPsoN and Com be-
fore we can be prosperous and united.
The very men who are responsible for dis
union, and under whose care preparations
for rebellion were made without hind
rance, are the only men who can perform
the sublime Office Of the patriot at this
tremendous crisis Of the nationl What an
insult to the intelligence Of the people !
What are the fruits of such reasonable
language?
One flourishing village in Southern
Indiana has already been invaded, and
the rebels have already been encouraged
to plan the invasion and sacking Of
Madison, of Cincinnati and Of Evans
Vile. No Southern man can read and
credit these abominable sheets and be-
lieve them without believing also that
there is vast portion Of the Northern
people anxiously awaiting an opportunity
to rise up and cxpel the President from
power by force. Is it not the most natu-
raj thing in the world for guerrilla chiefs
10 make raids across the ONO with the
expectation of finding friends and allies 3?
If these BUCHANAN organs are encouraged
by the Northern people, why may not the
MoRGANs and JoHSsoNs hope to find as
sistants among the Northern people when
they visit the towns and cities of Indiana
and Ohio with torch and sword? Blinded
by rabid partisan frenzy, certain editors
Of "Blue-Light Federal newspapers
during the last war with England, dis
graced themselves forever in the eyes of
their countrymen; and certain partisan
journals Of the present day, who seem
utterly unable to cast of the shacklcs Of
party and rise to the high position OF the
patriot spend their strength in pouring
out columns of detraction and censure
against the Administration at an hour
when the battle RACES that may decide
the very existence Of tho nation.

are wanted for. this purpose. You that
desire II, you that are satisfied with the
purpose, should now enlist at once.

succeed he prefers seeing them moved
down by rebel grape shot and imprison-
ed in rebel dungeons.
