Esalc o. Ruin.

Tbs wicked leaders Of tho Locofoco
party, not being content with the present
troubles they lave brought upon the
country, are now making strenuous efforts
10 form Northwestern Conrcdcrucy,
and destroy the National Government
ehIciually. a close observer connot be
deceived. Their movements Is positive
evidence, that they arc secretly cooper
nting with tho rebels in the South, to
help them to carry out their infamous
schemes. We want no better evidence
of this fuct, than tho course the Loeofo-
co members OF tho Indiana and Illinois
Legislatures have taken. The disposi-
tion exhibited by these members tow ards
cur National Government, stamps them
as being di,lOyal to tho laws and traitors
to their country. They refuse to lend
their aid aud influence to crush out the
rebellion TINT they were Instrumental in
eursing our country with-thcy proclaim
boldly aud openly, that they will vote
against any aud every war measure that
may DO introduced, for (avoring u vigor-
Gus prosecution of the wnr--they de.
nouncc the war as an 4" "AbOlition
scheme" aud the "prcsdcnt's procla.
nation as an infamous, unconstitutional
and fanOtcal measure I" This is the
language of those "pcace' seoesh Lo-
cofocos. They have become so auda-
cious and impudcnt, that they proclaim
publicly, that tho power Ia In their own
hands, and intend TO use Il to crush out
President LINcoLS and ruin the Govern
ment. In Indiana, they boast that the
State Treasury is in their hands, and will
use It to break down Governor MoRroS's
administration. Tho Same sentiment
prevails with the secesh Buttcrnuts in the
Illinois Legislature, who are determined
to Rule or Ruin! Much trouble is an.
ticipated in Indiana and Illinois by the
loyal friends of the Union, It is very
evident now, that our country ia In a ser.
riblc condition, and tho worst has not
come. We have black-hcartod traitors
in the North as well az in the South, aud
the sooner our National Government
meets the issue, aud hang come Of those
Northern tories as high as Hamau, the
better It will be 1t has got to be done
sooner the better.
What do you think, or how do you feel
whom you hear Of prominent "Dcmo-
srat" OF the great State of Indiana, and
u member of tho Legislature, boosting
that tho rebel Bragg had received 5000
soldiers from his State, during his cam
raign in keatucky. Tho town Of Green
castle, the home Of JUDGE Eckles, the
great Eutaw war-horso,n furnished five
young men for the rebel cut-ihroa, army.
Alter all these facts coming to light, is it
not timo now for the loyal people to look
around aud take stand There is no
trouble to tell who il traitors, and who
Il loyal TO the laws of our country! We
can hear tell of them all over the North,
and that they are furnishing aid and COM
fort to the rebels, and are continually
abusing and vilhging our noble and gall
liant soldiers on the battlo-felds, who
are sacrificing their heath, the comforts
Of home, aud their lives, for the very lib
erty and privileges these Infamous seoun-
drels are now enjoying.
