will be recoIleosed that Mr EcKLEs opposed the
nomination Of Mr vooRHEEs in 1860. and sup
ported "JoHs r.. Scorr" zealously as the
BREcKrsnrpeE candidate for Congress in the
Seventh District. In 1860 the Journal sympa-
thlzed with EcKLEs and ScorI and BKIGHr
As true Democrats and loyal citizens. and de
nounced DoUGEAs as demagogue and
an spostste from his party So if Stone CO oper
sted with EcKLEs and Scorr in 1850, he must
have opposed VooEHEEs. II was the interest Of
LANE aud MoRros and company to divide the
Democracy that year. hence they gave all the aid
anil comfort they could to what was known as
the BsEcKISRIDcK party.

was lei 20 believe that il the policy Of the
Republican leaders to divide the Union in order
to perpetuate the rule OF that party IN the North
~
the Republican party of Indiana pronounced the
Montgomery Constitution better chart of gov
eminent than own. and set forth in "A series
Of articles the advantages Of separation to the
North. Is IL at all surprising. under such repre-
sensations. that young men like SroSE adven-
furious and enterprising. would be induced to
unite their destiny with a new government, with
the temptations of fame and fortune to lure them
on and stimulate their ambition?
The Journal three months after the fall of
Sumter stated that il had not seen any reason to
change the convictions il had expressed previous
TO that event. But it had aelther the honesty
or courage to stand by the sentiments il had de
-liberstely put forth as the true policy of the
North. No doubt STosE aud all who have been
led astray by the teachings of the Journal feel
that there is no meaner traitor than he Who is
f.ise 10 his convictions. and especially when
those convictions had been publicly expressed
with great care and elaboration The editor OF
after the election of LINCOLN or else he j, hyp-
ocrite now. and he can mpale himself on either
horn OF the dilemma he chooses.
The Journal refers to the contempt that it feel,
for those who are too cowardly to fight for the
cause they advocate or which has their sympa-
thy. That paper now processes to be in favor of
the suppression Of the rebellion. even il it takes
the last and the last dollar in the loyal
States. But nobody has or ever will see any
practical illustration of its professed patriot
ian .ts editor has a chronic antpathy
against fighting. but none whatever for
making money out Of the war. His talk about
the last man and the last dollar is mere rhetor-
ical flourish. and If the rebellion could be sup
pressed aud the Union restored by the sacrifice OF
his life and his last dollar. he would see the
Government brokel into thousand fragments
before lie would lie, 60 biz hold either. Aud
he is type OF - class Who constantly harp
ins about loyalty and patriotism. but are very
careful not to expose their worthless TO
the bullets OF the enemy.
