II, as General Darlington alleges, in his In

Circle ia that State "whO plot our overthrow. I"
why are they not hunted out and punished? Last
summer the Grand Jury at Indianapolis averred
that the organization had fifteen thousand mem

knew where their meetings were, and the names
of the members.-yet, out of the fifteen thouS-

cal societies. whose existence General Darlington
so deeply deplores. Democrats do not work in
the dark or seek to carry their measures by un
lawful combinations. but General Darlington
ought to be aware that there are secret assOcia-

The LOUISVILLE Journal on Gen. Hal
leCk.

The following extract f0rTas the conclusion of
a letter written by General Halleck to a radical
mass meeting:
We have ALREADY made immense progress in
this war-greater progress than was ever before
made under similar circumstances Our armies
are still advancing. and If sustained by the voices
of the patriotic millions at home. they will ere
long crush the rebellion in The South, and then
place their heels upon the heads OF sneaking trai
tors in the North
When language such n this was used several
weeks ago bv a certain General Milroy, we de-
nounced il as infamous, and held il up to the exc
Grafton of tine people We now with additional
stress apply to the language OF General Halleck
what we then said OF the language of General
Milroy 1t is unspeakably infamous. and de
serves, as it will receive. the heartfelt execration
of the people Nor will the people. nor should
they, rest content with simple execration, how
ever deep and burning; they will. as they should,
ay. as they mt ST, il they would live Il free people,
address themselves with new earnestness and
resolution to the great work of putting down at
the ballot box the destructive and internal party
of which General Halleck is a worthy chief.
This work is indispensable to the national saliva
ton. Let the language of Generel Halleck. and
all other like manifestations of radical guilt and
folly. but nerve the people 10 perform with holder
energy and with loftier zeal the indispensable
work. Such manifestations as we are well as
sured, can have no other effect; and, in this point
of view, they are fraught with hope rather than
with despair. Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. And il requires no stretch OF
fancy to see in this hagitious conduct of the radi-
Gals the madness which heralds their own destruc-
ton. e

The New haven Courier, an Abolition paper,
which flies at its mast head the name OF old Abe
for President in 1864, talks out In meetin" in
the following style:
Contractors have carried on the war. The
blood of our men, the groans OF the wounded. the
tears OF the orphan. and the wall Of the widow,
have been coined into money . They
have swindled the Government out ct hundreds
OF millions. They have piled fortune on fortune.
and as a distinguished officer at Washington
writes us, all the operations of this war are even
managed by political swindlers-
There is more truth in this than we usually
find in Abolition newspapers. and we can only ac-
count tor il one way-the editor has not been ap
pointed to Office or furnished with a fat govern
msnt contract. This is the secret of his apparent
honesty. OF course he will not long be permit
ted to talk treason in this way. and a fat con
tract will be forthwith rendered him to close his
mouth from telling tales out Of school. Such
is Abolition lo~yalty.-[Dayton Enquirer.

house of Laporte county an inmate who is being
supported as a psuper, at the expense OF the
county, who for four years was Sheriff Of the
county. and was afterwards elected Common
Pleas Judge of the District. and served through
the term from 1852 TO 1856: was then nominated
by his party for the State Senate, and beaten
with the balance Of his ticket. Only a few years
ago he was leading man Of the county, and in

State. To day he is a demented, idiotic pauper.

The Anglo african. a journal published in
New York, predicts that the great General who
will conquer the South and reduce her white peo-
pie to subsection will be 4 black man. Consider
ing that the ARgiO African l. necessarily a mu-
latto, the editor shows no small p~artiality in favor
OF his original race.
In accordance with these convictions, shared,
it would seem. by the President himself. is the
following manifestation of "unconditional loyal
ty," by a society Of darkies:
At a meeting of the Sons and Daughters of
Freedom. in PonehkeepSie. held in the Univer-
salist Church. April 6, 1863, after hearing the re-
port OF DR.. Parker Gloucester, who has been as a
representative to Washington to present an ad-
dress to the President. the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resolred. That we highly appreciate the kind
reception given DR. Gloucester 0y President Lam
coin and his excellent lady, Mrs. Lincoln, and
also by Gen Fremont.
ResoIred, That We also return our best thanks
to our American Kossuth (Dr GiOucester) for
his effort in our cause. and rejoice that he has
been so successful in his labors to gam access 10
such distinguished personages as Governors Ram
sew. of Minnesota. and Berry. of New Hampshire,
and J Judges Carter and Day. and many others, all
of whom gave him strong encouragement

From this it would appear that we have also
strong minded black women in the State of New
York and elsewhere, whose time is not so occu-
pied with cooking. washing and ironing, as not TO
dabble a little with the craftsmanship of the pres
ent dav, and assist honest " Abe" in the great
work of pulverizing the COnfederates.
Adiutant General Thomas seems to have an
~ticipa:ed the patriotism Of the walters and cooks
in Poughkeepsie; for he lately made a speech to
General McPhersOn's brigade, at Lake PrOvi-
dence, which if DR.. Gloucester deserves to be
called the American Kossuth. !" entities him at
least to the honorable distinction of being the
Negro Garibaldi."
Adjutant Thomas told the soldiers that the
President bad clothed him with the fullest power
to inaugurate the Administration policy touching
the negroes. who were TO be received within our
lines, clothed. fed aud armed. He had authority
to dismiss any man. be his rank what il may, who
maltreats this unfortunate race. This was the
policy of the Ad ADMINISTRATION. The President

it up.
