full sympathy with those they frequent
ly call their "Southsrn Brelhren:"
llave yon ever noticed, Mr.. Editor ,tha
all the sympa'hisers in the North ar
Democrats? Let me notice some of thei
acts: Tho 9Th Of January Convention
Of '6a gave uhmislakeable evidence o
their sympathy. The Convention il
June last that brough. the reb,s Wick
LID, and Carlisle TO SOW the deeds Of dis
union in Indiana. gave evidence OF South
ern sympathy. The scoundrsIs who in
troduced MOrgan's rebels to Newbnrg
Indiana, wtro democrats; tliose who dis
Couragsd volunteers in Fountain count,
were democrats, those who passed rsso
lulions 10 the south part Of our State l.
have the lins Of the Southern Oonfedera
cy run north of hem, were democrats
those who resisted the draft iu Black
burn county were democrats. and III
scoupdrels who have just been captured
aud imprisoned for firing upon UnjIe
States officers in Morgan county wer
all Democrats.
Time and space would fail me to tell o
all the disloyallies Of that Internally dis
loyal party. Now, si', let me ask 70
again not to look upon any one Of tia
party as loyal man so long as he stand
in their rebel ranks. Whenever yo
) speak Of them and their a,ious in com
plmontary terms you nllay that nobl
spirit which is now actively preparing t
resist their threatened secession. AL
ways remember that there is no crime o
high handed and no sink Of iniquity TO
deep for Democrats to reach il they ar
not checked, Mover sleep over volcau
nor trust q Democrat with the libertie
Of your country. HANCOCK
