over the country REGARDLESS of all cousequen-
ces. There is now but little room to doubt
that Abolition Governors in the Western
States are arming their friends in those
States for the purpose of subjugating the
majority and forcing obedience to their
mandates. The movemen. is bold one
aud is ventured upon Systematically. The
Dubuque Herald of a recent date warns the
people to the fate which is being prepared
for them, 10y pointing out the preparations
which are being made to ensave them. The
Abolitionists are organizing and arming all
over that State. At Cascade, in Dubuque
county they have organized publicly into a
company. Each member is required to fix
his name to The following article:
In view of the dsloyal and reasonable con
spiracy against the Government of the United
States, for its overthrow by its enemies, and

into a company. or association, to be called the
Cascade National Union Guard" to cooperate
with like associations in this State for the pro
lection of life, liberty and the Union, to hold IN
chech disiOydi organizations, or any armed re-
sstance to the laws, and at all times to be under
the control of the State Of Iowa, to organize,
meet and drill after the manner of the Stutc
militia.
These Companies are armed and equipped
by the Governor Of the Stat. Their object
is apparent. Everybody knows what an Abb
litionist means by "disoyal organizations
in the FREQ States. They mean an organjza-
ton in favor of the Constitution and the
laws of the country which must necessarily
be opposed to them. They mean the Democl
racy Of the country, the men who protest
against their wickedness and who would
save the country and the liberties of the
people. These organizations exist in Hill
nois Indiana, and Ohio also. The Lafayette
(lndiana) Argus states upon creditable infor-
nation that Governor Morton is sending
arms all over that State, placing them in
the hands of members of secret society
who are pledged to DO his bidding in any
and all emergencies and upon moments
notice, In Lafayette three hundred stand
with thousand pound Of ball cartridges had
been received" The Democrats are indig
nant at this preparation for their ensave-
ment. Jealous of their liberties they seem
to be determined to receive the shock rs
freemen, when it does come. The Argus
goes on to say:
Does Governor Morton desire to produce revo-
luton in Indiana? If So he is pursuing the
very course to inaugurate it, Let say in all
calmness that Governor Morton may stir up a
strife in Indiana that will not result very salts
factory to himself or his Abolition advisers.
There are those in this State, some one hundred
and Twenty-Five thousand, who believe they are
ireemen and are determined to remain such, and
if Governor Morton desires to measure arms
they will not be found unprepared."
The Indiana State Sentinel also corrobor
ates the statement of the Argus. The Lal

not deny the existence of these facts, but.

she Abolitonists are armed. The Sacra
mento Union few days since published a
horrible story about the violent disinterment
of the body of soldier near Rochester, Full
ton county, Indiana, by what it terms cop
perheads. We have examined our Eastern
Exchanges and can find no aIlusion to the
matter; but, according to the Unions story,
body of citizens numbering u hundred or
more visited the grave and disnterred the
body under the apprehension that the coffin
was filled with arms instead of the dead
body of soldier. The Union publishes the
story to cast odium upn the "copperheads"
of Indiana but it proves much more. 1t
shows that Democrats are terribly enraged
at the secret arming of the Abolitions,s and
that they are in no humor to be tampered
with
The Ohio papers also warn the people of
the existence of the same state of affairs in
that State The secret society in Cincinnati
has been exposed and its manual and signs
and grips published. 1t is something like
the Cd now-Nothing organization, but
they are very cautious whom they admit

for Democrat to desire to form such an

credit of having laid the dongs of this soci

mention the eXistences of this society
throughout the State. The Crisis has
exposed the one at Columbus. These reve-
ations have produced great excitement
amongst the people, and to all appearances
the entire West is a smoulderng volcanN
which threatens to burst out without fury at
any moment.
That these same societies exist in Califor-
MIA is scarcely matter of doubt. Indeed
we do not know that anybody denies it
The plan seems to be to arm the Abolition
lists, and at the same time keep out spies to
watch the movements of Democrats until all
the arrangements are made for their enslave-
meat. The lving Abolition sheets publish
imaginary accounts of Secession plots, which
they know to be damnabe faIsehoods, for
no other purpose under Heaven than to di-
