When | say that Indiana is ripe for q
revolution within her own borders, / expect
the statement to be received with good
deal OF increduity by those who are not
familiar with certain facts which are patent
TO all observing men in the State. The
loyal people of Ohio will be slow to believe
that there was plot laid by The Democratic
leaders of Indiana, and intended to be
carried into execution less than ten DAYS
ago, for the seizure of the State Arsenal
aud the distribution Of its contents among
men who are pledged to the disruption Of
the government. Nothing but tho vigi-
lance Of Governor Morton, Colonel Car
rington, and few others, prevented The
accomplishment of the vilainous scheme.
Since my arrival here, 1 have heard men
say, aluding 10 the subject, that il they
had once got the arsenal, it would have
taken all the Aboliti0nists in the country
to have taken it from them that they had
93, 900 men in Indiana to fight against the
Yankees, and they intended to bring them
| out before long l have it on the best aa-
thority, that the design of the conspiritors
was, after having made tbe seizure, to ges
the Republican members into the Senate
and House of Representatives., crowd the
lobbies so as to prevent a bolt, elect Bright
and Hendricks as United States Senators.
aud pass BILL or series of resolutions
denouucing the Federal Government and
favoring the establishment of Northwest.

apprised of their intentions in time, and if
they had attempted any act of violence.
they would have paid for it with ther

The Northwestern scheme is boldly ad-
vocated by the Democratic leaders OF this
State. Hendricks. Bright, Turpie and
Others have been preaching for months that
1t is impossible 10 restore the LUTON Of tee
South with the North, and that IN the
event of a dissolution Of the Union it will
be the ntter ruin Of the Northwest to re-
main under one government with the New
England Stales. The policy of the present
Legislature of Indiana is nothing
but tool in the hands of such men as
Bright and Hendricks, will be to paralyze
the general government as far as possible.
by refusing 10 appropriate money for the
maintenance and equipment of Indiana
troops in the field, and thus to render as
much assistance as possible to the Confed-
crate arms. knowing that upon the success
OF Jef. Davis revolution depends the chan
ces for the establishment of their Utopia.
They assert that the South, once an inde-
pendent nation, will intervene, in their be.
half in the event OF collision between the
East and West.
These political rascals are watching the
course pursued by Kentucky with great in-
terest! rSecessiouists and traitors at heart.
they are opposed TO the acinal secession Of
Kentucky, believing they can make more
capital aud sympathy by her rsmsining 10
the Union, aud calling upon the minions Of
slavery in the Nerth to assert and defend
her rights for her. They do not want Ken
tucky to enter the Southern Confederacy,
but expect her to form one of the glorious
Of States under the guidance
Of such dem agogues as Bright and Hind,
