Tie Last Warning.

This is the last opportunity we shall
have, previous to the election, of war
ming those who have been deceived into
the Bright and Davis faction, of the dan
ger they incur by identifying themselves
with party acknowledging such leaders,
and endorsing their sentiments When
Jesse ID. Bright was driven from the
councils of his nation, he swore a terri
bic oath that he would be avenged, and
that he would devote his whole being,
earnestly and unreservedly to the ac-
complishment of that purpose, and that
he would succeed in that unholy pnr-
pose through the people of Indiana.
Fellow-citizens, will you become fools
in the hands of this unrighteous traitor,
to.assist him in his hellish schemes Of
vengeance against your Government
will you assist him in accomplishing his
wicked designs-and thereby make the
great and glorious State of Indiana
kissing and by-word among the nations of
the earth? The eyes of the country are
upon you; the raid at Newburgh-a "a
and encouraged as it was by men who
were leaders in the Bright faction in
this county-has drawn the attention of
the whole country to this portion of In
diana, and the man that acts with the
Bright faction-who in this time of the
nations calamity is not on the side of his
country; who does not shun the very ap-
pearance of disloyalty; cannot hope to
escape the consequences-he will be a
marked man however humble his
condition in life. The plea that
he was misled, or deceived viii not avail,
in the day of rendering up accounts; for
warning after warning has been given,
and if men are wilfully..blind-andif if they
will close their ears to the voice of war
ming, and their understanding to the
words of truth, they must reap ihe bitter
fruits of their misdeeds No thinking
man can but dread the success of this
faction. The Southern papers all rec
ognize them as their friends and allies,
and their success will give the rebels an
exaggerated opinion of the strength of
this faction. We are no prophet, nor
the son of prophet, but from the signs
OF the times-from the precedent we
had at Newburgh-from the tone of the
Southern press-we have not the slight
est hesitation in saying, that it is our
honest belief-founded on circumstances
of terrible significance that if this Bright
Davis faction is successful, fce aoiU hare
the GUERRILLAS AT OUR OWN
DOORS, an less than month hereaf
teri When Morgan invaded Kentucky,
the traitors who first desired his pres
ence there, plead with him to leave, and
remain quiet UNTIL AFTER THE
ELECTIONS Scarcely mail arrives
that does not bring us letters from our
brave, noble soldiers-your sons, broth
ers, fathers and friends, fellow-citizens-
urging and pleading with us to warn tue
people against this Bright faction-they
have the means of knowing that the reb-
ell leaders count largely on the stimulus
the success of this faction will give to
their cause, and that they only await the
result of next Tuesday, to again invade
the sacred soil of Indiana. We do not
speak rashly when we say this-we know
it to be TRUEl Many of the faction ac-
knowledge its truth. An old Copper
head remarked in conversation not long
since, that he supposed the guerrillas
would invade Indiana before long, but
he did not think they acould do mach
harmi
Honest men of Indiana, are you pre-
pared to welcome the red guerrilla to
your own fresidesl Do you fully realize
the appalling horrors of guerrilla raid
that respects neither age nor inno-
cence-who are worse than the
-Wolf-gaunt and ferocious-
Scouting the air with long and most offensive howl,
Ihirstiag for blood.
Are you prepared to see your homes
made desolate, your sons and fathers
murdered, and your wives and daughters
dishonored? We hope not-yet all these
things will come to pass if the guerrillas
should successfully invade the State.
Besides, the man who does not stand
up fearlessly, firmly and unconditionally
for his countrywide ranks himself with
those who sympathize with her enemies,
is doing the soldiers grievous wrong,
and they will exact terrible retrihution
when they shall have returned.
Be warned in time-vote for no man
who is not unqualifedly sound, who is
not above suspicion and reproach-and
you will have the unspeakable gratifca-
tion of being classed with patriots, in
stead of traitors and rebel sympathizers.
