teaching the people. but otherwise the popular
sentiment is far in advance Of the so called 20
litical leaders. and the people fully capable
and are ready TO do their own thinking, speak
ing. and acting. The idea of the Cincinnati
Commercial and the indianapolis Journal char
acierizing the outbreak at W averly rebellion
in Indiana" is hugely absurd. There is but one
more or less than that the people are sensitively
jealous of their rights of their liberties. and that
they are determined TO maintain and preserve
them. So far as the Democrats concerned.
they are pre- eminently law abiding citi-
zens. They are most distinctly for law and
order. Most cheerfully will they yield to and
support the rightful authority Of the Government.
This has been the teaching and the record of the
party from the beginning. And knowing and
approaching the rights Of the citizen it has ever
had the courage to maintain them The Com
mereial ntimates that the "Copperheads" Of In
diana wish to inaugurate war on their own soil.
This charge everybody knows to be the merest
Cannon. The Democracy have illustrated their
patriot m in standing by the Government when
they had every reason to believe that stupid
and weak Administration was bent upon its ruin
Administration faithless to all its pledges and
whose entire history has been ssnalized by hypoc-
rsy AMI deceit These things the honest yeomanry
Of the country well understand. and palpable are
they that the commonest intelligence fully com
prehends the folly and wickedness OF the party in
power. And if the Republican leaders had a
particle of practical sense, long ere this they
would have appreciated and needed the revolution
in public sentiment which will sweep on until a
new and totally different policy and rulers guide
the destinies of the nation There is thing
certain. lying will not save the Republican party
and leaders from utter disgrace. and these acts OF
folly on their part present the evidence of the
reckle-sness and desperation of men who know
and feel that power is rapidly sliding from under
them and that it will leave them in hopeless dis
grace.

The Administration has determined no longer
