patriotism Of the Abolition leaders will shrink
from the test OF Democratic truth. ard be ex-
hibited in all their hideous deformity, like Satan
transformed at the touch of Ithuriel's sword.
Do not wait for your "leaders" to start the
ball in motion, or to have some distinguished orl-
tor visit your neighborhood before forming your
club. All Democrats are "leaders"-thev are
the sovereign people. No matter if only a half
dozen join you at frst-she most important re
suits spring from small beginnings. Effective
organizations are not born of noise and much
palaver; they are formed in a quiet. undemonstra-
tive manner, like the mountain stream. arising
from a single spring, but gradually broadening
and deepening until it reaches the r~esistless sweep
Of the Amazon.
Then let the Democracy goto work cDeerfully,
and with a will DO nothing in secret, as though
you feared the light Of day. We want a triumph
on principles or not at all. Give a "long pull, a
strong pull, and a pull altogether, and our ma
jority in Indiana can as well reach forty thousand
as ten.

OrganIZe.

The Springfield Register urges upon the De
mocracy OF Illinois the necessity of thorough or
ganization 70 secure not ouIy party success. but
the preservation Of constitutional liberty. Most
heartily we commend It's suggestions to the De-
mocracy Of Indiana. IL says: One leading ele-
ment in political success is thorough and com
plets organization. This is what the Democracy
now require. They have the numbers; their doc
trines are founded on the principles Of truth and
right; and they are fighting in a cause as holy
and important as ever enlisted human enter
prise-it Is in the effort to save our beloved coun-
try from the certain destruction to which Repub-
lican misrule and imbecility are hurrylng it. The
Democracy has the numbers, as they have al
ready demonstrated. Let these masses be put in
working order. Let the party be like a thor
oughIy drilled army. not an undisciplined mob
This can be accomplished by forming clubs and
associations in every voting precinct throughout
the State.
In many places these clubs are already formed
and are doing excellent service. Let the good
work 90 on, until there shall not be a township
in Indiana without its active. vigilant Democratic
association. Even in places where there is now
no earthly hope OF success, let these clubs be
formed; patience and unwearying effort will not
fail to be rewarded in the end Let information
be disseminated among the people. BY newspa-
pers and documents. The cunningly devised

The Rarharism OF tne war.

TIL Christian Inquirer, a Unitarian emancipa
ton hebdOmadal published in New York, in an
article strongly condemning the lawleSsnesS of
the Union troops at the South, makes the fol
lowing curious revelations:
''In several libraries of New England clergy
men. we have seen choice volumes of great cost,
bearing the names of Southern ministers, to
whom they still belong, although they have been
sent North as gifts from Yankee soldiers who
had appropriated them. Some Massachusetts
parlOrs are said to be carpeted with spoils of ano-
Their kind. Now, If any one asks, what has be
come of the Union party, once so strong ut the
South, we answer that, in part, they have been
alienated from the Government by the u~njustifia
bic outrages committed by wicked or thoughtless
federal soldiers. It Beaufort, s. c., tombs
were violated. At Holly Springs, Miss, a com
munion table was used ia behalf of 'euchre' and
old sledge.' Such tales of wrong have infuria-
tel many who were disposed To be friends OF the
Uniun. and their righteous Indignation has had
something to do with reverses that have over
taken our arms"
The Inquirer also quotes, with indignation, " a
letter of an officer. written at Camp Saxton.
Beaufort, S. c., III which he says: 'rhe splendid
mansion once occupied by that arch rebel, T.
Butler King. is on a Georgia island. and we
stripped it of everything. write this letter on
his writing desk, which, with his piano. was pre-
scented to me on my return"
Soldiers away from the restraints of home. or
when they are under the influence of passion, or
drink, may be expected to show very little re
spect for the rights of private property in an in
vaded district; but what sense of honor can an
officer have who speaks of the theft of a family
piano as being quite a matter of course? But bad
as this case is, it is honesty and decency itself as
compared with those abolition clergymen who
accept, as gifts for their libraries. religious works
stolen from the studies of Southern divines. 1t is
a noticeable circumstance that most of this plum
der has taken place in General Hunters depart
mebt.
