For seventy years. under Democratic and Wing
Administrations, the LIBERTY OF. THE
PRESS, the LIBERTY OF SPEECH. and the
great safeguard of the citizen. the HABEAS
CORPUS, remained unassailed, and now that
these great rights are threatened, it is for the
people to declare how far they prepared to
surrender them to the keeping of those tempo
ernment. Our glorious
AMERICAN UNION

thizer in the ranks oft the Democracy. The Dem

minority of the citizens, and the supporters Of his
war policy in a minority to-day. Come to

to create factious opposition to his laws and
edcts, but to offer to him the supporto of

blood and treasure for the war. The people OF
Indiana make no compromise with treason in the
South, and will hold none guiltless who attempt
deception at the North. This is the peoples Gov

stand by it and all rightfu measures for its pres
ervaton. They want nothing bet the
