Ever since the commencement Of this &C
cursed rebellion there have been more or less
editors and stump speakers, party wire pull
lers and managers, who have constantly done
the most they dared to do, to encourage the
rebels. and to thwart the efforts Of the Gov
eminent in putting down the rebellion, and
restoring the Union, and with it Peace and
ouiet. Most Of these men declare that they
are Union men, and talk loud and long III IA
vor of s'the Union as it was" and 1.-The Con
stitution as it is" But their love for the In
ion is all talk and nothing else. While they
have these professions OH their lips, OF deVo-
ton TO the Union, they goto work IN the most
effectual way TO destroy it, They encourage
the rebels and traitors to persist i'll their work
of destruction. They declare that the war is
a wicked aud unnecessary war OH our Side
a war for the liberation of niggers-an aboll-
ton war, waged against the rights and pfiVl-
leees Of .sour southern brethren" @ Every
act of the administration towards the suppress
sion Of the rebellion is declared unconstltu-
tional and tyrannicaI, and thepeopl lie are direct
" or indirectly advised and counseiled not to
submit to it.
To such an extent has this wickedness been
carried that now, almost the entire democrat
ic party has been politically, if not morally
corrupted. Many Of the more ignorant and
uniformed of that party have come to think
under these false teachings that they are do
ing good partisan service, in shooting, MAIN
ing or numbering outright the regularly APP
pointed officers to carry out the laws of Con-
gress In this State, in several instances en-
rolling officers, have been assaulted with clubs,
bludgeonS and spads, wilhelm the quiet perfor-
nance of their duty. In southern Illinois, lndi-
ana and Ohio the same things are constant
lyoccurring, only i'll more aggravated form.
Not only enrolling officers are assaulted, but
those who are only obnoxious as being "Cn-
ion men,, The following dispatch shows the
state of things in one county in southern Hi
nois.
CAIRO June Knight before last. John
Starks belonging to tho 18th Illinois, while
at home on furlough, six miles from Carbon
dale Ill.,, was shot by secession sympathizers,
in his own house. They called on him to
come out, and while adjusting his clothes to
comply. he was shot through an open door
Several balls entered his body, and he expired
almost Immediately. Another Union man,
! named Emerson, died the same night, i'll the
same neighborhood. from wounds received the
day before. There is a complete reign OF
terror in Williamson county, and if Union
men are not sustained, they will be driven
from the county
Every day we see such accounts i'll our ex-
changes first in one place, and then another,
or in half-a-dozzen places at the same time
This lamentabIe state of things is the direct
result of the teachings of such papers as the
Chicago Time&, the Milwaukee Ne's$, the Du
buque Hcfu!d, and others that we could men
ton, and such speakers as Fallandigham. -
! The persons who commit these murderous as
/
must be punished They are less guilty thar
those who incite them to such deeds, and YET
the latter i'll the main go unpunished and I'm
molested NaIandigham, it is true has beer
arrested, tried and found guilty, and for the
time is sent to his friends and colab0rers at the
south. But see the storm that is raised Owe
his transient taking off. All over the coun
try his aiders and sympathizers are loud il
the impudent demand of the President for his
recall These men who are so loud for thu
unconditional recall of VaIIandigham seem t.
have very little sympathy for his dupes. The
men who only carry out III practice what he
teaches have to suffer for their crimes, anC
we don't hear of any meeting of Governors anC
high state officials to petition the
! President to pardon them. The reason is
obvious The man or the tool who has beer
induced to shoot an enrolling or draft officer
has done his work. and he can be spared t.
expiate his crime, while Eallandigham anC
I his co-workers can easily induce hundreds o
others to the same course, who would most
probably without their teachings, be loya
and patriotic citizens. This is the reason
why the meeting in Albany N. Y. was held
why the convicted traitor is nominated fol
governor of Ohio, and the great effort by the
! VaIandighan Democracy of that state is he
/ ing made to induce the President to recall
! him.
I We believe Vallandigham should be lef
where he is with his friends and most eviden
admirers, and that, if there is any sympathy
Or leniency to be shown in the premises, it b.
devoted to the ignorant and misguided dupe'
of his who are sacrificing themselves to car
ny out in practice what they have been taught
by demagogues to consider as very merrito
rious doctrine. If the President of the L. S
is a ''despotic tyrant, "''waging an unjust and
unnecessary war against our southern breth
ren. for the liberation of the slaves" and the
/ laws by which he seeks to do this ''Qre uncon,
stitutional and wicked" it is but natural thai
those who are SO taught, should think they dc
Gods service when they shoot or murder 1.-THE
minions of the tyrant who undertakes to car
ry out such laws.
