lln From the Indiana Journ nj :
Sub Secession.


The project Of that class of Democrats
who believe in-ValIandingham and bow
down before Bright. to give success to the
rebellion, whatever may be its fate in the
field. is to separate the North. West from
the Union, and form it into q separate
Confederacy. with the purpose ultimately
OF attaching it ( o the rebel arrangement,
and drawing after it all the other States
but those of New England. The use of
the Mississippi. and its binding influence
on these States through which it runs. at
foris specious pretext for proposing
their union in separate government, but
It Is only . pretext. These men desire
Union ont Of which New England shall
be left.- and il is easier to go to work in
such q scheme by first detaching those
States that have common interest to
hold them together and draw them tow ards
the South. with the certainty that the gov.
eminent thus formed will be SO strong
that the Middle States will follow to pre-.
serve themselves. than to propose squarely
and honestly that we shall kick New Eng
land out. They would not hesitate to
propose that if they saw no better way
into the rebel Confederacy. but they think
they can go down the Mississippi without
being suspected of any worse motives
than selfshness, while to 60 any other
WAY would be both. tfeaeherous and sell

without New England In it. 1t is no dis
tant hint or hesitating insinuation. 1t is
q blunt, straightforward declaration.-
They want another secession. and they
say so. Everybody who has read either of
these papers for the past three months has
seen this fesling glaring out of them every
day. The word they dared not whisper,
and to whisper which they denounced as
crime two years ago, they speak right out
The question they raise is. "Shall the
Union be again dividsd?'' The issue we
have to meet. if they make it, and they
will make it. is. '.shall Indiana remain in
the Union?" They aim at revolution, in
order to get into the re Del confsleraey. and
away from New England. where most of
their ancestors were born. and all the
brains they ever had were trained They
have secret society all over Indiana work
ing for this end. Secret revolutionary
meetings are held every week, and we
have abundant proof Of it. They have
too. but they know it well enough without
any. We state the case .Shall Indiana
remain in the Union?p is the issue the
Vallandingham and Bright Democracy are
determined to force on the State. For
their comfort we trust they will read the
following from the Louisville Journal:
Those persons. no matter what party
they may claim to belong to. who are try
ing to prepare the public mind for re-
construction Of the Union, leaving -eat
New England. are no better than rebels
The Journal might have added that be-
fore they can accomplish their purpose,
the Northwestern States will become the
theatre of q bloody civil war, in which
thousands of lives viii lie lost, and the IL

oerats anxious to inaugutate sucn q state
of things? They are not so foolish. GER
