The Coming ElectiOn-Its Importance
and the Duty of Every Good Cit.

izen.
The importance of the elections this fall can
not be er-estimated. Every candid observer
of the condition of the country can not but con-
cede that its fate is in great measure involved
in the expression of the people at the ballot-box
If the conservative sentiment triumphs, it will
have healthy restraint upon those in power
and the unwse. suicidal and unconStitu .ional
measures which have been inaugurated will give
way TO the just, enlightened, Christian and con-
stitutonal policy set forth la the CRITTESDEN
resolution Of July %, 1851, as to the purpose of
Congress and the p ople in the prosecution of the
war. But if the radicals successful, we
firmly believe its result will be National ruin.
Every vote dropped in the ballot-box tells for
good or for evil. fearful responsibility rests
upon every voter of Indiana in the discharge Of
that trust However important the success of
our arms and the overthrow Of the rebellion, the
preservation of constitutional lberty-the glor-
Gus institutions framed by our fathers, aud which
gives our Government all its value, is Of equal
il not of greater importance. A contemporary vel,
observes: cit involves each mans personal secu
rty-his peace. his life. his property the welfare of
his family-of all that is most dear in existence"
A change in administration is necessary to secure
these priceless blessings Of a good government.
The hissOry of the past eighteen months OF Repub-
lIean rule illustrates this necessity. How different
now from 1861 An exhausting civil war has
ragged with all the terrible evils OF such contest,
q war that has no pavallel in history. vast
public debt has been created. From comparative
freedom in public burdens, we rank among the
heaviest taxed nations of the Garth. War is still
raging, the public debt daily increasing, and the
burdens upon industry made more and more OPP
pressive And with all there has been profigacy
in the public expenditures and frauds upon the
public treasury, which are not only dsgraceful to
the nation, but great in extent that the knowl-
edge OF il is even witbheIdfrom the people All
these evils could have been avoided aud the coun-
try now been united and happy il the Republican
members Of Congress of 1e60-6l had voted
for the adjustment of our national troubles
upon the basis Of what is known as the CRIrrEx-
Den compromise
