The Imminent Danger---A Speck OF
Rebellion In Indiana,

The stump-Speaklng OF traitors IN In
diana, which has been going on for some
weeks, is producing the effect that might
De expected. Demagogues of the worst
description: the tools of the meanest des-
ootism on earth, but calling themselves
Democrats, and using the names of JEFF
terson and Jackson, as if they, too, were
pro-slavery disunionists, have been going
sbout the country, declaring the war to
De T" for niggers,P and the President of
the United States, 1.-The Abolition Ty-
rant" They have been lying, with all
che ingenuity they possess, to prejudice
uniformed people against the Constitu-
uonaI Government of the United States,
and to rouse their sympathies for the
rebels, who they argue are fighting the
battles of Democracy against the " Abo-
lition Tyranny
One consequence--and one probabili-
ty calculated upon-is the resistance of
the draft at Hartford, Blackford county,
Indiana, the destruction of the ballot-box
and enlistment Rolls, and the constrain-
ed flight of the Commissioner The
iaSurrectioR, for it is nothing else, is
backed by two hundred armed men, A
part of regiment has been sent to put
it down Here are the elements, organ
lied and in the field, of civil war In Indi-
anal So much for the 8th-ofJanuary
demonstration at Indianapolis, and the
subsequent proceedings, at which Wick
life, of Kentucky, Richardson, of Hi
nois, John s. Carlisle, of Western Vir-
ginia, and Dan. Voorhees,, Thos. Hen
bricks, and John o. Petit, of Indiana,
; figured. They sowed treason broadcast,
| and have cultivated it asSidiously; and
now it seems they may reap the bloody
harvest Certainly they viii do so, il
! their deluded followers do not at once
repudiate their teachings RI
The traitors in Indiana mean to helI
their "Southern brethren and they
would, if they were ready for it, directly
instigate bloodshed on their own soil tc
do it. These facts should be solemn
and startling warning to the people
everywhere throughout the North They
show the absolute necessity, for the pres
eryation of peace at home, that there
should be no resistance to the consti
tuted authorities, and that factious, ma

should cease. The men who are trying
to excite a seditious spirit in the people
by the most diabolical lying as to the
object of the war are incendiaries, who's,
proceedings endanger the peace of the
community, and imperil every man
ireside. One Ohio traitor, Edison B
Olds, declared that he saw, as in vision
blood at the ballot-box this fall Hap
PLY he is where others, equally vicious
though perhaps less demonstrative, ough

Ohio, if they were not overawed by
law-abiding and Understanding sent

sons, in the least degree endowed witt
reflective faculties, will consider the sol
emn circumstances by which we are sur
rounded, and form, if possible, an ade

and partisan contention in this crisis O
