To the Editor of the Chicago Times:
AS the telegraph seems determined not
to contradict its own falsehood, please say
that the statement that l was arrested
or implicated" with anybody else arrest
ed as a traitor is q deliberate falsehood
without any foundation whatever in truth
My sole treason consists in stern adhe.
renee to the democratic principles and the
democratic party-th the principles and the
party OF constitutional iberty--the true
Union party of the country. If ever ar
rested, it will be solely for this and no
other offence.
On Saturday night 1 addressed tho
largest meeting ever held at night in Day
ton. 1t was democratic meeting, and
The people were out in full strength and
spirit.
If it is worth willis to contradict any
telegraphic SANDER, please publish this
note, and oblige,

The Marshall County Democratic Con-

with general good feeling.
All seemed imbued with the spirit CT

strongly manifested by all present. We

days paper. and shall take occasion from
time to time to speak of the several candi-
dates as they deserve. An az, ..nr,bv

DRAFrING.--I In a speech at Lafayette
yesterday, Gov. Morton said, in regard tc
the manner Of drafting the quota of In
diana under tho last call of the Govern
ment for 5000 more men, that Com
missouers would a. once be appointed for
each county. who would appoint deputies
for each township. Each deputy would
proceed at once to prepare for his township
two rolls, one containing the names of all
able bodied citizens liable to be drafted
another containing the names of all citi-
zens who had previously volunteered -
Every township will then be called upon
for its proportion. after being credited for
the number of volunteers it has already
in the field. By this arrangement the
draft will draw most heavily from those
townships which have sent fewest soldiers
to the war--lightest en- them that have
sent most. A very just and impartial ar.
rangament.- II ". Sentinel

We publish this week the proceedings OF
The Democratic Congressional Convention,

DAVID TUhPIE, Of White County, has been
nominated as the competitor Of Mr. Colfax,

The Convention was we'll attended, and
the greatest enthusiasm preFsiled. We call
attention particularly to the resolutions
adopted on the occasion; they express In
forcible terms the united sentiment of the
Democracy of this District, and unless we
very much misjudge the candor and intel
ligence Of the people, Schuyler will find it
an uphill business to satisfy them in rela-
ton to his past record. We are greatly
mistaken if the Republican cry of uncon-
ditional union will be sufficient to enable
hem to cram down the Threats of those
who truly love their country, the extreme
partizan measures Of the last Congress.

The peril of the government demands
that broad line, distinctly traceable, shall
now be drawn between conservative and
radical republicans. The party is divided
in sentiment, but preserves intact its or
ganization. That conservative republicans
by the coercion Of party management and
drill, have been driven, in Congress and
throughout the country, to the support of
measures which were approved neither b y
their judgment nor consciences. is proven
by the protest OF leading members and
journals in the party. The President is
not alone under the pressure" That the
New York Epeaing Post, the independent,
and the Iribune of the press which follow
their lead, are in direct conflict with the
New York World, the New York Times,

papers.
The radicals have the majority. and are
urging their lawless schemes with the ut.
