NARROW ESCAPE FROM LYNcHING OF A COP.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM LYNCHING OF A Cop
PERHEAD CoNGREssMAN.-The Cincinnati Ga
2ette has the annexed particulars of the attempt
OF party of soldiers to lynch Hon. d. w. Voor-
hees, last week, referred to by telegraph:
The I'd battalion, Odd Indiana Volunteers, re-
turned from Terre Haute on Saturday. Most Of
the men were raised in Mr.. Dan w. Voorhees,
district, and one company in his own town. Learn
ing that he was on the tran, the soldiers broke
for the car where ne was, dashed in the door, and,
IN spite of the presence of his wife, threatened to
hang him upon the bell rope if he did not get off
the train--telling him that no man who called
American soldiers Lincoln dogs, who when the
war was over would wear collars so labeled, should
ride with tnem alive. The officers nerfered and
forced the men back, almost at the point of the
sword. A second and third attempt was made,
but failed through the entreates and command of
the officers. Voorhees, soemnly protested that
he had been be.ed, and that they read but one
class of papers. They answered that they had
seen his speeches, and that was enough to show
he was a traitor. AT last he was informed that if
he would leave the train at Greencaste he might
do so; but that the 63d would never ride into
Indianapolis on the same train with him, or any
man who would abuse the soldiers, who were
lighting for the Union and the Government that
protected him as we'll as them. 1t was mighty
narrow escape for Dan, and neither his weeping
wife nor his entreaties would have saved him if
he had continued the Journey"

MARYLAND Loyalty

The address of the unconditional Union Cen
tral State Committee to the people Of Maryland
says:
awe dsavow all measures for the violent alb
rogation of slavery in our midst. We claim that
in the exercise of our prerogatives as American
citizens we owe it to urselves to discuss fairly,
and finally to dispose of the evil and we hereby
solemnly declare it to be our conviction that the
dignity, honor and prosperity of our people alike
demand that We should legally and constitution.
allv abolish the institution at the earliest period
compatible with the best interests of the State,
and the permanent welfare stability and unity of
the nation. Since the people know that the sub
stance of slavery is arerdy gone and that only the
skeleton has been left, we are of the opinion that
the sooner the skeleton is removed the better 1t
will be for the true interests of the State and ma
ton. The men that we present to you are in IA
vor of supporting the Administration in every eff
fort to put down the rebellion, and in every meas
ure which it has thought necessary or the perma.
nent peace of the country when the rebellion shall
have been subdued We believe that the only
way to put down the rebellion is to put it down
by force of arms For this purpose we are will
ing to vote every dollar ne cessarIy and give every
available man, black or white. We do not think
ourselves at all superior to our ancestors OF revo'

The Meeting at Village Hall.

We had the pleasure of hearing the latter part
only of Lieut.-Gov. DiIlingham's address, in Vii
lage Hall, Wednesday evening, but heard enough
to assure us that the speech was well worthy the
subject and the man. Mr.. Dillingham;, always
an effective an eloquent speaker, in his effort
that evening fairly excelled himself His speech
abounded in historic information relative to the
early periods of our national existence, truthfuy
deneating the rise, success and decline OF various
political parties. Mr.. Dillingham; gave succinct
history of the old Federal party, showing its OPP
position to the General Government, which cul-
minated in the Hartford Convention; and said
that from that secret conclave the leaders of the
party went forth to be known no more forever in
places of honor and trust. So it would be with
the knaves who now as sumed TO lead the so-called
Democratic party. The people were beginning
to spew them and their teachings out Of their
mouths and out of their remembrance. In the
old Democratic State of California they were
buried under 10000 majority of loyal votes; so,
too, in Maine; and be believed Ohio would bury
vote of her freemen He alluded to the New
York riot as the natural sequence Of traltorous
teachings and called it the great Peace Con-
vention" of the Democracy.
Mr. Dillingham; exposed the falIacy OF any one
pretending to be a lover of his country in time of
war, while doing all in his power to embarrass
and oppose the Administration Of that country.
AS we'll might he pretend to love the person
whose head he maciousy cuts off In time of
national peril, the constituted government OF the
nation must be sustained and the party that for
gets this plain duty commits the unpardona BILE
sin" for whchthere is no forgiveness, and must in
disgrace go down to oblivion.
We lave no time to give even brief outline OF
Mr.. Dillingh ms mastery defence of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, the Consumption Act and
Military Arrests. Suffice it to say his arguments
on these several points were conclusive as to their
legality and expedency as war measures. We
have seldom heard more scathing rebuke than
the speaker administered to the sef-styled De-
mocracy of to-day. He showed by incontrovert-
able facts and parallels that they now stand pre-
cisely where the despsed Federalists stood in the
war of 1912, and must inevitably meet the doom
that awaits any party which places party and the
lust for power paramount to the love OF country
liberty and God. If any of these latter day Dem
ocrats were present, and didn't clearly see the alb
horrent and pitable attitude in which the Demo
cratic party is now being placed by Vallandigham
Seymour, Wood & Co., then they sadly need the
gift which Burns prayed for-the gift to see them
selves as others see them.

lutiouary memory, who fought side by side with
colored troops, nor to Andrew Jackson, who com
manded and complimented the coIored militia
who fought with him at New Orleans.
We believe it is the bounGen duty of the Presi.
dent to use all the force and every weapon which
God has put within his grasp, and the laws of he
United States have authorized him to WELD 10 de-
Tense of the nation. Traitors have no choice as
to the weapons to be used in their destruction,
and loyal men only ask that they be speedy and
sure"

THE THREE GREAT NAvIEs.-Tn view of the

STATED in the aggregate, the nayies of the
