Democracy will sustain with all our energies
war for the maintenance Of tie Constitution and I
the integrity Of tie Union under the Constiu-
ton; bgs We are opposed to a var for the emanci-
patton OF the negroes or the suhjugation 81 the
Southern States" The language used here Is
mid. but it means that the Democratic party deem
the schemes Of the AbOiti0nsts as revolutionary
n those of the secessionists. and that they will
not submit TO an Abolition revolution any more
than they will TO Secession one. This is an
earnest and an honest resolution, aud will never
be surrendered for any cause or under any cir
cumstances Il will be adopted, as well as the
body Of the lndiana platform, by every Demo
cratic convention in the country and will be sus
tanned at the polls and everywhere else. The
sooner that the extremists in Congress under
stand this the better for them and for the coun.
try. party which casts over a million votes
and which Is daily winning the confidence of all
it conservative opponents, which even now il the
chei reliance OF the President and General IN
Chief, can not be gagged nor thrust aside when
the destiny OF the nation Is az stake and political
gamblers are black Logging II 70 ruin. They will
be heard and felt in defence of the Constitution
which limits all their demands and will guide
their entire action. They believe in war for the
preservation Of the Union, but they know that il
might have been preserved without war il the race

destroyed all hope of peace. They will sustain the
war because il is actual fact, aud because they
are so loyal themselves that they will not excuse

channels. They will enforce good faith to the

liberty of the person, of the press and of speech
hey recognize the necessity of the suspension
Of the habeaS corpus in States where the judicial
authority a. extinct; but they insist that IN loyal
Indiana, Michigan. and New York, where Judges,
jurors. the whole people in fact. are irrevocably
faithful to the Government, there is no necessity
to seize and imprison citizens without warrant
of law, and without assigning any cause or Civ
ing to the party interested any opportunity for
defense" They demand the enforcement OF the
Constitution, where IL be enforced. They
only excuse extraordinary measures when they
are the result of absolute necessity. In this they
are right Not in Michigan doubts that
the persons lately carried from this State TO Fort
Warren, could not have been arrested by regular
warrants, imprisoned in this judicial district tried
before the patriotic Judge Wilkins, and jury of
cur people, with perfect certainty that they would
duly be convicted or acquitted, according to the
law and testimony.
This voice from Indiana will be re echoed
throughout the LOYAL States. Its utterances will
be gospel of constitutional liberty, the watch
words OF patriotism alike against Southern and
Northern treason. The Democracy will fulfill
the bond They demand that Abolitionism shall
be compelled TO do so.-DetrOit Free Press.
