BayaTd for DisuniOn.

Senator Bayard has been following in the
footsteps ofSaulsbury 1--WE cannot say at this
distance from the scene of action whether
Salisbury drunk or Salisbury sober) though,
doubtless, he was as he always is, gentle
manly in his bearing. He attacked, earnest
ly, the conscription bill, as destroying the
militia in the States and establishing central
ization of power approaching despotisrn.
He showed his regard for the rebels in the
following declaration:
alt has been said that the life of the ma
ton is at stake. He believed that the lib
critics of free people were of more impor-
tance than anything else, and if he was to
choose between an imperial government
stretching over the whole country, including
Mexico and Canada, and two or three sep
arate republics, he would have no hesitation
In choosing the latter. He had been op-
posed to this war from the beginning, and
In favor of peace, and was in favor of peace
now even if we had to submit TO separation.
Under the present policy, he believed it
was midsummer madness to attempt to re-
store the Union by the sword"
In all this Senator Bayard is consistent.
In speech in Congress, before the attack
on Sumter, he advocated the right of seces-
sion and boldly declared in Congress, that,
if he lived in Alabama he would vote for
secession. He went to their capital and
staid there month while they were organ.
izing the Confederacy, came home and
resisted sedulously every effort to restore
tho Union. Senator Bayard can well and
honestly say that he prefers two or three
separate republics to an unkroken nation.

The Reaction in Indiana.

1t is gratifying to learn that the rampant
disloyalty of the Legislature is willing down
under the whitening rcbuke which the sol
diers have poured into the capital. A Dem
ocratic caucus has rejected the proposition
to create Military Board, and thus attempt
to take from the Governor his military au-
thority-so the attempt to prepare the State
for the dominion OF JEFF Davis will not be
persisted in The National Grand Jury of
indianapolis is investigating the secret or
ganization of Peace Democrats. The Court
is now engaged in trying the traitors who
resisted the arrest of deserters in Morgan
county and four persons have been convict
ed Of treason.
Col. Darlington has arrested 1876 deserters
in one county alone and sent them back
Rousing Union rallies are being held
throughout the State. A great mass con-
vention has taken place at Indianapolis. 1t
was splendid demonstration. The crowd
was immense-2OOO0 the speakers such
men as Governor Norton and Ex- Governor
Wright, of Indiana, and Governor Tod, and
Ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio the reso-
lutlons of the most uncompromiSing charac-
ter; and the enthusiasm such as showed
the popular heart to be all aglow with pa
triotic fire.
But what gives this manifestation peculiar
significance was its entire freedom from all
party spirit. We look in vain through all
Of the five hours speaking for single SEN
timent like those that distinguish the hide
bound partisan. One Of tae resolutions call
ed upon call good citizens henceforth to
recognize no distinction but between those
who are for and those who are against the
Government" whether the particular men
in power please or not. No mercy was
shown to the irnpudent pretence that man
may labor to embarrass and weaken the
Administration, and still be loyal man.
Said Gov. Tod, who was chairman of the
last Democratic Convention at Baltimore,
after its adjournment from Charleston, "l

Republican, not because he is a tariff man,
or an Anti-Slayery man, but because he is
President of the United States, and BY rirtu,

ment was greeted with the most vociferoul

The Democrats and the yoluu,.e,s

The so-called Democrats are given to
making abundant protestations of their loy-
atty and devotion to the Union and the
Constitution, but for the life of us we can
see nothing but lip service in all such pro-
fessiOns. They say they are for the Con-
stitution, yet the Constitution nowhere pro-
v'des for its own destruction by a treaty of
peace with rebels who have defied it and set
up another they say they are for carrying
out the Constitution and the laws, yet be-
cause MIR. Lincoln is trying to enforce them
according to his solemn oath, they oppose
him at every step: they say they are for
restoring the Union, yet they oppose draft
ing and refuse to provide in any way for
those who have even volunteered and sac
rssaoed their life and happiness to restore the

Resolutions of Oensure.

A Joint resolution of Mr.. Jas. Williams
Che offered ip which passed the House, has
subsequently been concurred in by the Senate,
censuring Gov. Cannon for the endorse
ment Of arbitrary arrests in his Inaugural
This action is of very little consequence in
itself-we suppose Gov. Cannon will still
live and perchance breathe as free as though
this august(i i)assemblage had passed no such

other circumstances it is significant of GER
sain facts that they ought to be cognizant

cannot forget that they resisted the effort to

urged the Legislature to call convention
to consider them, and every possible expe-
dent has been adopted then and since to
array the people of this State against the
prosecution of the war, and the restoration
of the supremacy of the laws. They seem
TO care far less for the restoration of the
Union than they do the personal safety of a

House, but amendments were adopted pro-
viding for the arrest and punishment of

to fix the sum to be paid in lieu of services
by general order before the draft and
that portion of the seventh section requiring
the provost msrshals to inquire into and

of one hundred and fifteen yeas to forty
seven nays--all the Maryland delegation,
