The mischief in such meeting as that held
at indianapolis yesterdays notiE the abuse
of extreme anti slavery men who regard
these times as propitious for demonstrate
tons of their policy, but in virtually pro.
claiming hostility to the progress of tue
war, aud in making denunciations sweep
ing aud ndiscriminate-in effect, chasing
the great minority, if not all, who are in
favor of pressing the war 'as abolition
lists, aud in such expressions us throw the
whole burden of the responsibility for the
disasters of the war where it does not be-
long-apon the people of the loyal sections
of theIcountry-thereby excusing the trail
tors in arms against the Government, ind
begetting sympathy for themfthus. in fact,
opening II fire in the rear upon tue Gov
ernment itself, and cooperating with OUT
right treason. It is historic that the 9th
of January Convention in Indiana gave aid
and comfort, encouragement and strength,
to tho secession leaders 10 the South. Yes
terday's supplement to that Convention
will do no less in the same direction
The cry against Abolitionists, gentlemen
seeking to make party capital might rs
well understand, has lost its SAVIOR. Every
body IS denounced as an AbolitionIst now
days who is in favor of pushing the war
against the rebels, which is the only way
possible by which the Union, which is
peace, can be restored. 1t there is now a
powerful party freal Abolitionists in the
North, the Southern incendiaries have
themselves exclusively to thank for its for
nation. The ultra auti-slavery men in Con-
gress have during the late session of that
body damaged the Union cause by theun-
seemly urgency of measures held to be

and rascally thing to assert as was free

due: of the war has been upon principles |
divergent from the pure aud lofty purposes,
with which the hostilities initiated and |
insisted upon by the secessionists, were |
met On tho contrary, the war power of |
the government has been absolutely i'm |
paired, by efforts to shield the institution
of slavery from the inevitable incidents |
tending TO its destruction in war prose- |
cuted exclusively on slave territory. We
have seen a Republican administration
exceedingly cautious not to strike the in
stttntion of slavery. directly with the mail
ed hand of war. The most extraordinary |
torbearance on this point has been witness I
ed, and none have been so deeply offended, |
none are SO rankly dissatisfied with the |
conduct of the war, as Phillips, Garrison,
and others OF that class, who were held up /
at Indianapolis as the masters of the ad-
mtnistration. If the party which was re-
presented at Indianapolis are in favor of /
peace upon whatever terms may be granted
by the rebels why do they not say so p
The answer is ready in every honest mans
they do not dare directly
to take the responsibility of presenting
such programme, and propose TO deceive /
the people and work out evil de-
signs by indirection. The Critteuden
defining the origin aud pur-
poses of the wsr, were frequently referred
to by the speakers at Indianapolis, yester-
day. Do they. really subscribe to those
Do they maintain that the
war was made by the Southern rebels ri
The first Crittenden resolution says that it
was in uneauivocal words. Would men
holding that opinion devote nine-tenths of
their time to efforts to fix the responsible

second Crittcnden resolution is that the
war must be prosecuted for the restora-
ton OF the Union, but not for the sub
jugation of the South OF the destruction
of State soTereignties. Are the politi-
cal desperadoes yesterday assembled
at Indianapolis in favor of carrying
on the war for any purpose whsteyer2 if
