Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1862-03-03

We are astonished at the persistency with which
the Louisville Democrat insists upon misrepresent-
ing the sentiments and feelings of the Indi-
ana Democracy, and in mis- stating the pre-
dominant element of the 9Th of January Conven-
ton. That paper, in notice of the appoint
ment as Wright as Senator, takes occasion to
saw:
I'm the Convention, held at indianapolis on the
9Th of January, by courtesy STYLED a Democrat
ic Convention the Bright element was ram
pant. Indeed, the Convention consisted princi-
palIy of Bright and Breckenridge men. and the
whole affair was 'cut and dried and made to or
der"
This statement is wickedly slanderous The
Convention was not gotten up by the bright ele-
ment," nor were any of its proceedings, so far as
the members of the Convention knew or cared,
in accordance with Mr.. Brights feelings or views.
The Convention was called, in accordance with
time honored usage of the party, for the 9Th OF
January-called in the regular way and by the
usual formaities. 1t was attended by the true
members of the party from all parts of the State
without regard to their private differences in the
last canvass. Out of the large delegation from
this county-some eighteen or twenty-every
man, with perhaps one or two exceptions. voted
for Douglas in November last-and every one oil
the delegates heartily and cordially Endorsed the
Conventions action.
During the progress of the Convention, We
beg to remark, in reply to the Democrats charge
the only opposition to its action and platform was
made by what that pape. styles Breckenridge
| Democrats
In the formation of the committee on resolu
tons, large majority were men who supported
Douglas-the formation ofthe State Central Com
mttee will show the same facts; the principa
speakers were Douglas Democrats'-and tn,
chairman of the Convention, Hon. Thomas A
| Hendricks, as the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernOr last October was a warm and decided sup
| porter of Douglas for the Presidency-he was a
the head of the ticket, which, as the DemOcrG
asserted at the time. Mr.. Bright used ali hi
efforts to defeat, and which was so highly laudeC
by our Louisville contemporary.
The nominees of the Convention, so far as W,
know, all voted against Breckenridge, and wer,
opposed to Bright's action in the late canvass
| They are all good and tried Democrats-loyal anC
| Constitution loving men-placed upon platform
which all true Union Democrats will supper
heartily. 1t is vile injustice to intimate that tn,
members of the Convention did not act in accord
ance with their own views OF right-in accordance
with what become them as freemen, without feal
or favor, and regardless of whether such actor
would be acceptable to this or that man or set o
men. The only element" uppermost was a low
of country, and desire to take such action a
would most surely tend tore establish the Union
and the supremacy of the Constitution. Thei
action we sincerely believe, will be ratified anC
endorsed by the people in October next.-Vin

English Neutrality.

Reluctantly we are compelled to the conclusion
that, under the guise of neutrality, the English
government are aiding, as far as in their power
without an open declaration of war, the cause OF
the COnfederates in the Southern States. The
recent order issued in regard to the ships of war
of the United States visiting the ports of Nassau
and the Bahama Islands, or from making use OF
any port or roadsead in the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and-Ireand, or the Channel Islands,
or in any part OF her Majestys colonies or foreign
possessions or dependencies, or OF any water sub
ject to the territorial jurisdiction OF the British
Crown, as a station or place of resort for any war
like purpose, or for the purpose OF obtaining any
facilities of warlike equipments, is such an order
as cannot well pass without notice from our Gov
eminent. Following close upon this. the refusal
10 allow the gunboat Tuscarora 70 leave the har-
Dor of Southampton until twenty-four hours after
the departure of the Nashville. thus giving that
steam privateer on opportunity 70 intercept our
merchant ships sailing from London. is such an
act OF hostility as will arouse the feelings of the
American peop'e to the highest pitch of indigna-
ton.
We are aware that this new order in council
may be considered, by some. as act of strict neu-
trality on the part of the English government.
but we do not view it in such light. and we shall
be much mistaken If it is not met on our part by
such orders as will wide3 the breach between the
countries. So far from being DESTROYS of bring
ing back the era of good feeling which once ex-
isted, it would seem to be the effort of the Eng
lrh government to increase the i'll feelings 10 that
point when war will be inevitable. The day is
rapidly dra wing near when the voice ofthe Ameri-
can people will be fCf. war, il England desires It,
and such war as will have no parallel in history.

The Right Name.

The Chicago Times SAYS: So far as we are
to call that which is treason. treason. ADOLF
TIoSIsN Is TREASON. Where is the Aboltionist
who will not answer that he cloves liberty better
thar the UnionI" and by liberty he means the
abolition o. slavery. He is not to be found.
The Abolitionist is not 70 be found who is for
the restoration of the Union with slavery. And
the Union can not be restored without slavery.
The abolition of slavery by the Federal Govern
melt is revolution the same as the Southern
belon would have been revolution had it been
successful.
The Union can be restored with slavery. This
will inevitably thus restore it if it shall be
continued as it has been carried on thus far.
Every attempt to divert the course of the war
then is TREASON.
When the war shall be closed and all the States
shall have resumed their natural and constitu-
tional position ia the Union, each State, for
itself. will possess, as each State has hitherto
possessed, the exclusive control of slavery within
IT'S limits; and any intermeddling with it by other
StItes will be- as it has been hitherto impertinent
and unconstitutional. That some of the States
which are now slave will adopt systems Of man
omission is very likely. This was their tendency
forty wears ago, and but for the rise of Abolition
ism there would have been no interruption of this
tendency

Lesson of wisdom.

In our foreign intercourse, says contempor-
airy, we need the lesson Washington has left US
never act from passion. In his expressive
words, "The nation which INDUCES towards anoth-
er an habitual hatred or an habtual fondness, is,
in some degree. a sIaUe. IL is a sla1e to its ami
mostly or to its affection, either of which is suff-
Gent to lead it astray from its duty and its inter-
est" We have lately witnessed an illustration
of this truth in the Trent affair. "Animosity'
beclouded the intellect of our best jurists. and
maddened the people into passionate desire for
war with En- gland. Yet our Interests" would
not permit US to fight her, and so if, during our
unhappy domestic troubles, she endeavors again
to force war upon US, we shall be her "slave, -
if we permit our luminosity" to urge us into a
contest for which we are unprepared. We shall
fight her sometime, but zoe must choose the time

The UNION WILL BE SAVED UNDER The Coz
srITUTIoN.-Whe our towns and cities are alive
with every expression of the general JOY of the
loyal for the great Union victories. the armies
are advancing on to fresh achievements; and
soon those twin enemies of this glorious country,
the Emancipation and Secession consprators
against the Constitution our fathers set up, will
be overwhelmed in a Waterloo defeat The man
who comes forward now to urge that the only
way out of the present troubles is by the red path
way of servile instruction, insults the bravery
of the noble soldiers who saving the country.
Thanks to the glorious Commander in Chief,
thanks to Burnside, Buell. and Haleck, to Du-
pont, Goldsborough and Foote. the Union is to
be saved under the Constitution. This, as sure
as it is that the sun shines, will reunite the whole
land of Washington under one flag Boston

The governmental Policy.

There can be no doubt in the mind of thinking
men. that the true policy of the Government is
to cultivate and foster the Union sentiment in
the seeded States with the most assiduous care
On the strength and influence of that sentiment
depends, in great measure the solution of the
question of a reunion of the States. The people
who make up the voters and Legislators of those
States, are to make laws hereafter. They are to
supersede those traitors who have deceived and
led them astray. If this Union sentiment is
strong enough to sustain State Governments, we
may still have the good old times of powerful
and prosperous Union. If il is not, the result OF
this war may be perpetual dsunion.
Under these circumstances it becomes matter
of prime necessity that the right of Union men I'M
der the Constitution should be most scrupulously
respected-that no cause for dissatisfaction should
be given them-that they should be encouraged
in every legitimate way in their devotion to the
Union, aud made to feel that ii, it they are safe
alike from oppression and misrule.

The work BEFORE Us.

1t must not be thought-remarks a cotempo-
rary-that all is done when our triumphant col
umns shall have dispersed the insurrectionary
bands which so long impeded their march. Vic
tory is not always synonymous with peace. We
must remember that after we shall have drawn
back the misguided SOutherners into the Union
folds we shall have TO live with them as brothers
and equals, and that in some sense their allegi-
ance must be voluntary in order that the connec-
ton may be mutually beneficial. The aim ought
to be to concilate rather than destroy to show
that whilst resistance to the authority of The Gov
eminent will be vain and suicidal, the Govern
ment is not tyrant, as designing men have
said, but a political organization to protect all
rights. Let il be shown that the objects of the
loyal people have been sandered by the disunion
leaders-that we never intended, never wished
to oppose the inhabitants of any section, or rem
der their citizenship burdensome or distasteful
Above all should it be demonstrated that the
UniOnists are not a gang of slave robbers or Alb
clifton incendaries- So will the erring soon see
their error, and brotherly cordiality, fraterna
harmony, seal the permanence of the reunited
States.

ES- The brother in-law and private Secreta-
~ of Governor Morton is the author of the spec
ial telegraph dispatches from indianapolis to the
Cincinnati Commercial and GGzetfe. This ac-
counts for the tremendous puffs Governor Nor
ton receives in these dispatches. The following
from the dispatch of the 25th to the Commercial
is a sample:
"Wken Senator Wright was through, Cover
nor Morton was called for by the crowd. To say
that his speech was excellent, conveys no idea of
its excellence. He never made better The
hold Governor Morton has upon the people of

simple, much like those observed at Washington
on similar occasions. The inaugural address
took the ground that the late reyerses to the
South, although serious, were not irreparable in
juries. and urged still greater unanimity on the
part of the Southern people, and the exercise OF
patience and endurance.

CoTToS GRowINe.-We are indebted TO Major
John McIntire of this place, who has resided here
since 1916, for the following information in re-
gard TO cotton raising in Southern Indiana:
In 1918, cotton was cultivated by almost every
farmer in Pike county and continued to be sue
cessfullv raised until 1894. During 1878, JAS
Mcclure erected q cotton gin in Pike county
about one mile from Petersburgh, which continu-
ed in operation some five years. Improved good
investment, and brought handsome income as
long as cotton continued to be raised. Since
1894 but little cotton has been raised in the
ty for the reason that farmers thought that other
products would pay them better.--Petersburg

We call attention to the general order of Gen.
HALLEcK in reference to the treatment of prison
ers Of war, which will be found in the telegraphic
columns The instructions of Gen. HALLEcK are
not only just and humane, but, il complied with
both in letter and in spirit, will be worthy a
Christian and magnanimOus people. The effect
of such treatment upon prisoners will be most
salut,ry, and will go far to convince them that
the war is conducted with no vindictive spirit on
our part, but solely to maintain the integrity of

payments in good faith. but if it lowers its own
standard it can not expect much if any sympathy
from the people. If we have home currency
that is sound, and redeemable at the win of the
holder in gold or silver, il is infinitely preferable
to the eastern trash which now forms our circu-
lating medium. And if the Bank of the State
furnishes US such currency, the business com
munity should drive all other from circulation.

The salt by which we shall Re
gnNQd.

Confessedly all the energy and all the states
manship in the Cabinet at Washington are in the
War Office. Seward is a failure, Welles is a la
inevitable failure, and the names of the heads of
the other Departments are unfamiliar to the
public ear that not many people can readily speak
them. And Cameron was the worst failure of
all. He was venal, corrupt and incompetent.
Had he continued in Office, the army never would
have moved. There is good reason for believing
that he designed it should not move. 1t is be-
lieved by well-informed gentlemen of the highest
character and loyalty at Washington, that he was
under the influence OF party whose policy was to
prolong inactive war until both sections should
become exhausted, and then to negotiate,
through foreign Intervention, an inglorOus
peace by which separation should be recognized.
Either these conectures are true or Cameron
was one of the most inefficient high public Off
GERS OF which history furnishes any account.
His embarrassment of Gen. Mcclellan was con-
slant and fatal. The General-in- Chiefs requi-
stions were never answered, or the answer came
so tardily that months were employed IN matters
which should have been accomplished in many
weeks. There are honest men in Congress and
out of it who think the ex-Secretary should be
hung for treason instead of commissioned as
Minister to Russia. His incompetency was a
capital crime. His Abotionism moral trea-
son, and his attempt to commit the Administra-
ton to the policy Of abolitionism was an overt act
of moral treason.
1t was by his expulsion that all the energy and
craftsmanship to be found in the Cabinet were
brought into it. And the embodiment of this en-
ergy and craftsmanship is a Democrat. Here is
a great and important fact. The Republican
Administration was a failure and it has only been
saved from utter decentralization and dissolution
by Democratic salt, and the country will be saved
only by this same salt.
| 1t is fact for the contemplation of honest
thinking men of whatever partisan afhnite:
hitherto. 1t is lesson which must not be lost
upon the American people. 1t teaches what
must be hereafter if We hope for preservation
asa nation. In less than one year after the Re
| publican Administration came into power il
stretched olt its hands TO the Democratic party
for help in the simple duty of government, anC
without which help the country would have drifteC
to perdition.-ChicGgO Times
