pretty shrewd observations on American

d" The Democratic party seeks to profit

ATTACK UPON THE MAGAzINE.-About
two o clock this morning an attack was
made upon the State Magazine, two
miles east of the city, by squad of ten
or fifteen persons, evidently for the pur-
pose of capturing the powder and am
munition it contained. The Magazine
is long, double building, with a wagon
way in the centre, and door opening
into each room. 1t stands only about
fifteen feet from dense wood, in which
the villains had concealed themselves
till they thought it safe to make the at
tack, when they made a rush for the
doors, which they gained; the guard
then fred upon them, and they fed, the
shots evidently taking good effect, from
the groans and shrieks which were
heard. The guard, numbering only
four, were not strong enough to follow
them up.
This is the second attack which has
been made upon the Magazine; and the
question is, who made it, and for what
purpose?-IndianapoliS Gazette, 9th.

Epr~ssx JoURNAL:-I was present at
the election for Township officers at
George Daurm's precint in German
township, on Monday, April 6, 1868, and
beard a person by the name of Dalla-
match make use of the most insulting
language against Governor Morton, In !
the presence of the judges of the cleo
ton. He said Gov. NJ. was not worthy |
of public trust; also that he was tool of !
Lincoln's, and had imposed on the cltl- !
zens of the State, both military and civil
making use of language calculated to
excite the people against the present
Government, both General and State.
!, for one, feel it my duty to give my
voice against all traitors to the Govern
ment. All such should be severely pun
ished. n DEMOCRAT.
The above was written by one of the old
reliable Democrats of this county. He,
like thousands of other patriotic mem
bers of that party, is getting sick of the
constant efforts of men, claiming to be
Democrats, per excellence, to throw OBJ
stacles in the way of the Government in
this struggle for its existence.
The home traitors are going so far in
standby members of their party are get
ting indignant and disguised, and dis
claim reasonable sentiments as the
above. This is healthy indication, and
promises well for the good Of the Union
cause.
What are Mr.. Lincoln and his cola
borers, now engaged in carrying on the
Government?
The Agents Of the people to whom the
Government belongs duly chooses to ad-
minister it. They have the interests of
the whole people in trust, and have ia
ken an oath to faithfully preserve that
Government, and return it to their prin-
cipals-the people-in good condition.
This is why they are carrying on this
war. An insane and rebellious crew are
trying to destroy the Government, and
Mr. Lincoln and his helpers would be
criminals and traitors if they were to
permit the rebellion to succeed and the
Government to go down. If they failed
to do their duty their names would be
come infamous.
Instead of the Administration being
too severe, as the sympathizers with Sc
cession charge, it has not been half
severe enough; and this is the opinion
of all unconditional Union men whom
we have heard express themselves
Democrats as well as Republicans.
All lovers of our glorious Union and
its cherished institutions ought to stand
up to the President and his co-worker:
in this terrible crisis, and uphold then
in the use of all the means necessary tt
put down the rebellion and preserve the
Government DO this and postpone
fasten the responsibility where it belongs
and punish the party which has brough
this great grief on the country
But now, stand by your Government
for if you do not, you will repent in sacl
cloth and ashes, your failure to do so.
1t is as much your interest as Mr. Lin
coins that you do this. Wien his tern
is out, he will become mere citizen
and while in office, his greatest desire il
to preserve for posterity the precious
legacy of which he is the temporary ad
ministrator. ..
