Of itx dresrss The election i over. There Is
no longer pressing necessity to impagn the mo-
dives aud patriotism Of III. members Of an oppo-

Democrats be. in fact are. equally a. honest
equally 40 pure. and equally influenced by patri
otic considerations as the best men of its op n

New York 7yst1ns. that "ciandes,ine negosa

IN Nes York and Richmond for the re consiruc

with what !, had suggested itself as a means OF
restoring peace. IL says:
No man believes that William 5 Holman,
James 5 Arhon. James A. Cravens. MattLex L.
Brett, or twenty other. Democratic leaders we
could name. would lend any countenance to so
Infamous a scheme. Thes are loyal They de
sire the restoration vf the Government aud the
assertion of it, right Of rule over those who have
90 cAusele-sly and treseherou-ly de6ed IT, They
have No symp'thy with those who would degrade
the nation that prray might prevail. Thew are
dissatisfied with mWy scfs of the Administer

temporary occupants. They can distinguish be
tween the Government and it, officers and while
dissenting from much that the latter have done

Mark the words. Read the confession Of the
editor Of the central organ of the Republican
p'rty OF Indiana. Who for months denounced the
men as traitrr~. whom il now says .'are ioyal -
JANIS T. ATHoS and MATHEW L BRrrr we're
the nominees Of what the Journal charged
df-loyai convention. They endorsed by
another State mass convention which the Journal
denounced a nest Of traitors. Now il saws
" they are loyal" More than this IL admits
that they give all their re- to the reservation
OF the government" Further, better LOYALTY
thu this" it says, " il does not care 10 see -
Yet the election Of these now " loyal" citizens
u pronounced to be bu;rernut" triumph
Messrs HOLMAN and CRAvExs participated in the
proceedings of the convention Of the 3Oth of
July. which il said was composed of traitors
IN council but upon sober second thought Il
pronounces them to be - loyal" to the core
There is another notable feature in the extract
we copy from the Journal. IL saws there Is
distinction between the government and its Off
GERS, and disapprovaI Of the acts of the latter
Is not Incompatible with the highest loyalty to the
former
Before the election IL made no such distinction.
Then opposition To the Administration was dis
LOYALTY to the Government How can this
change of the Journal be explained? Why fhi.
difference in lis estimate of pasriotism--of loyalty
to the Government Its chsrges of dislovaltv
against the Democratic party were only romance.
They were made merely for political effect 1t
misrepresented the motives and sentiments of
Democrats for partisan purposes--to secure a
purity triumph. THIS is the confession of the
Journal IL admits that it endeavored to mis-
LEAD its readers. the members of its own political
organization. solely to advance its party's inter
ests. Such. Republicans of Indiana, is the
character of your central organ. Ii deals in
fiction, not ia truth or in fact
