CONSTITUTIONAL
Mr., Editor, Just here / will mention an
other case that goes far to show the degree
to which the John Law school of Democra-
cy are interested in this war question. The
night the news came TO Eureka that the
gurrrillas had possession of Newburg, every
man who could find musket came on the
street, where they received cartridges from
their orderly; their only object being to
load their pieces and start to Newburg to
help drive the guerrilla devils from the soil
of Indiana. As it was very dark, they
called on a merchant of Eureka for can
die, SO they could see TO load their guns;
but. sir. he refused to furnish the candle,
saving "by gum, you can't have it unless
YOU pay me tor it," Now, what do you
suppose the Legion would do in case the
guerrillas attack his property? Well
predict that they will say, BY GUM, ifyou
wish your property defended, you must take
the oath of allegiance, aud give some evil
dence that you are interested in the welfare
of the country more than is Swallowed forth
in the chat about the candle.
