The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1862-04-12

The last Emporia Meas makes a some
what caustic onslaught upon DR.. James
Fletcher, of this place, in connection with
the Office of State Auditor. The editor is
apparently in very bad humor, which a
friend suggests might be allayed by bottle
Of erfumery.-TopekG Record.
There is Fletcher for you again He is
great on perfumery. The Doctor is awful
homely and green, and used to have consid-
cradle difficulty in passing himself off as a
ladies' man. He always had his pockets
full of perfumery. and on being introduced
10 lady would Immediately present her
bottle OF 4" Fletcher's BEST In this way he
came to be called ''Sweet- or ''Per-
fumery" Fletcher. Perfumery is his forte;
fact is, he is almost monomaniac on that
subject. He has ordered hogshead of the
aforesaid liquid, to electioneer with next
fall.
The above is a specimen of the argu-
ments put forth by the Record, the organ of
Fletcher, in answer to charges OF corruption
against one of its pet candidates.

quest by going back now, and admitting what we
at first denied on all hands, namely: that the Sc
ceded States were actually out of the Union. and
to be dealt with wholly under the laws of nations,
and not under the Constitution. Are we ready TO
do thatI / think not; but that We must 90 on
as we have started, and maintain ourselves upon
il consistently till the end; and then if such an
extraordinary unanimity of the people is found
against US as has been predicated here, it will be
time enough TO settle and determine the question
of policy, of conquest.
Mr.. Wilkinson-The Senator tries to dodge
the issue a little. He supposes the case of Cuba.
That is not a parallel case. We do not propose
to 60 outside of the limits of the United States.
The question that / propounded to him is as to
the duty OF this Government to maintain its in
tegriiy over its own territory and within its own
border. 1t Is not as to our going to Cuba. do
not base my question upon the doctrines of the
Ostend manifesto | ask whether it is not the
bounden duty of this Government, as an indie
pendent, separate nation. to maintain the integ-
rity oil every inch of its territory within its limits,
no matter what the people of a certain district
may say or do or decide in regard to it. / do
not want the Senator to 90 off and try TO draw
me on to the platform of James Buchanan and
Mr.. Soule in their 0stend manifesto.
Mr.. Cowan-I have said. Mr.. President. as a
matter of constitutional law, that there was no
authority, but that it was a question of policy;
and as that question had not been settled in this
country, as 1t had not arisen for the consideration
of our statesmen. / have no opinion to express
upon it, except the one | have expressed, that
nothing but the most pressing necessity to enable
US to secure ourselves would authorize us to do
it under our form of Government.

secret POLITICAL societ,es.

The Journal affects to believe that secret po-
litical organizations are being formed in Indiana,
the object Of which is to prevent the enforce
ment of the laws. and that they are rapidly ex-
tending over the state. This is a serious charge.
and should not be made, as we believe it has
been, for mere political effect. If such a~ssocia-
tons do exist it Is the duty of the public authori
ties to take measures to promptly suppress them.
Certainly an organization of that kind could not
extend far without the means being discovered to
expose its members and its objects. The Cover
nor intimates that he has information that such
societies have been formed, and the editor of the
Journal states most positively that he knows
such TO be the case. or course no man would
make such an assertion without the proof at hand
70 sustain il. As good and loyal citizens, these
gentlemen are under obligations to expose trea-
sonable organizations. The United States Grand
Jury will be in session this week, and we suggest
it will be an excellent opportunity for them to
furnish TO that body such information rs will ex-
pose these disloyal secret societies. and bring the
leaders of them to punishment. If they do not
do this. the public cannot form any other conclu
sion than that these charges are untrue, and that
they are impeachins the loyalty of the people Of
Indiana to promote party schemes.
We do not believe thtt there are in Indiana
secret political organizations. formed for the pur-
pose of resisting the enforcement Of the laws.
Such charges are not only vile ISLANDERS upon the
fas fame Of the State, but they are directly cal
culated 70 give aid and comfort to the rebels. If
any portion Of the community should refuse to
pay The taxes necessary for the prosecution of
the present war. or which NAV arise therefrOm,
We will venture the assertion that the reputation
will come from the very men who now charge
disloyalty upon the citizens Of Indiana, not be-
cause they believe it. but to advance partisan
purposes. and their own selfish objects

The Constitution.

We publish this morning an address upon The
United States Constitution, delivered by Hon.
GEoReE T. CURTIS, in Boston, on the 4th Of
July. No man in the country is more capable Of
discussing that theme. He is known as the his
torian and expounder of the Constitution, and in
this address he eIoquently and faithfully discuss
es the principles and policy upon which it
was founded and the personal rights it secures
to the citizen. The Constitution at a time like
this, when revolution threatens to overthrow it,
should be the study of every man woman and
child. The address of Mr.. CURTIS happily and
forcibly elucidates and sets forth its leading
features which have secured to the people of the
United States individual happiness and liberty,
and national prosperity and greatness, such as no
other people have enjoyed.

The slower Fraud.

The Journal, in its issue of Friday. charges
upon the State officers then in power improper
conduct for failing to take all the books Of blank
bonds out of SrovER's hands after the passage of
the act Of March IL, 1859, changing the system
of transferring certificates of State stocks or
bonds. The law gave those officers no authority
over SLOWER. They did. however, request him
to return all such books in his possession. In
January, 1850. Mr.. HuDsoS, was elected Agent of
State, and entered upon the discharge ofits duties
soon after. 1t is clear il was his duty to then re-
cover and take possession of all the property of
the State in the hands Of Slower. 1t was incum-
bent upon him to do so. If any one can be
guilty of improper conduct for failing to take all
the books of blank bonds out of SrovER's hands,
Mr.. HUDSON is the man. For some unaccount-
able reason he permitted Slower to retain
in his possession the means to continue his
frauds. We have it from reliable author
ity that up to the period Slower quit the Agency
of State, only $500, 900 of fraudulent bonds had
been issued. If Mr.. HUDsoS had got the blank
bonds then that would have been the extent of
the swindle. But after Mr.. HUDsoN's advent into
Office, and while he alone of all the State Off
Gals was in possession of the fatal secret for
bout a year, SrovER issued over tpO millions of
the fraudulent bonds. If Slower refused to
give up the blanks on the demand Of HUDsoN
when he went into Office. to use the language of
the Journal, he should have said something like
this: "Mr. SrovER the law clearly intends that
you shan't have those blanks any longer. If
you keep them you tell the public that you either
are neglecting your duty or intend to act dis
honestly. Send them home (or deliver them up)
or we will notify the public of your conduct"
How important it was that such a demand should
have been made is seen in the fact that at that
time SrovER ras issuing his forged bonds and
Mr.. HUDSON knew that he was guilty of issuing
them. The more the Journal discusses the fraud
the deeper it getsits friends in the mire.

sat,sfied-Eminentiy So.

1t gives US pleasure to state that the President
has expressed his satisfaction, his eminent salts
faction, with MCCLELLAN and the army of the
Potomac as to their conduct in the recent battles
before Richmond.
The President. it is understood. pays the same
high compliment to Mr.. STANTON, the Secretary
of War. Ditto, Mr.. WELLEs, Secretary of the
Navy.
1t is known to the country that Mr.. LINCOLN,
in a special message to Congress. expressed him
self satisfied with Mr.. CAMERoS's administration
of the War Department. and assumed the respon-
sibility of the Objectionable acts of that officer.
The people of the country. as a matter of course,
must receive these Endorsements of the President
as eminently satisfactory without further inquiry.
