To the People of Indiana.

The Union State Central COMMITTEES
congratulate the country, the armies Of
the Union, and the people Of Indiana,
upon the important triamph achieved
in the election Just held in this State.
1t is a triumph that proves that our
people can be trusted in the hour Of
emergency; that they will rise above all
party considerations, and bidding de-
6anee to the dictates Of selfconstiiutsd
party leaders, declare for the salvation
of the country.
The recent discovery OF the fact that
here, in our midst, an armed conspiracy
had been formed for the purpose Of aid
ing the rebels 10 overthrow the Govern
ment, caused the good Of all parties to
fear and tremble, lest the terriers Of an
sreby and revelation should fall upon
them. We 1--we as set unharmed by the

our Republic still lives; il proves that
the people sfc capable Of self-govern-
ment, and that in the progress Of events,

right to govern themselves.
The result will nerve the arm OF the
patriot soldier as be rushes into the

Mr.. Pendleton Dodgea. /"

fF@tA tnE nv ENet-t
The Mcclellan journals have made 3
discovery about Mr.. Pendleton. They
triumphantly assure the public that be
did not vote against several decided
war measures This IS true; but neither
did he vote for them; be lodged.
That is to say, be ran into The cloak.
room or walked cat Of the chamber
when the clerk began to call the roll,
and remained away until the vote was
decided.
He was thu most notorious "dodger
in the House; and earned the reputa
ton there Of keeping such . constant
eye upon the means Of speedy retreat "a
the cloak room, that there was not tke
slightest danger Of bis communication,
with this base being cut or interrupted
We have already given a pretty full
summary Of his votes, with passages
from his disunion speeches. We had nc
space AZ that tina, 10 mention also the
occasions when he lodged" A few Of
these we presest below today. Il will
be seen that the cloak room oftha House
of Representatives was az useful to Mr.
Pendleton as the gunboat Galsua was 70
his colleague on the Chicago ticket
Gen. Mcclellan.
July Is, 1851 Mr. McC!ernsnd offered
a preamble aud resolution declaring the
rebellion "in violstioa Of constitutions
obligations, and pledging the House Of
Representatives, to vote the required
money and men ito insure a speedy and
eTectual suppression Of such rebellion. "
Only five members voted against this
resolution. Mr. PsndIston lodged. His
name sppears in the proceeding Of the
House, in the Globe, but few lines
above the record Of this vote
We pass over several instances and
come to December IL. 1868, when Mr.
Green Clay Smith, Of Kentucky, offered
a resolution
'sThat we hold If to be The duty of
Congress to pass all necessary bills to
supply men and money, and the duty Of
the people to render every aid il their
power 20 the constituted authorities Of
the Government 10 crushing out the re-
bellion, and in bringing the leaders there
of to condign punishment"
But one member Dir. Harris, of Mary
land, voted against this lXr. PendEeton
doGged he was in the House and
voted against another resolution but a
few minutes before
January I, 1854, Mr. John D. Baldwin
offered resolution with the following
preamble:

The Times WaIleth.

We anticipated a howl of anguish
from the Copperhead organ in this city
over the result Of Tuesdays election.
We have not been disappointed The
Times "waileth" exceeding much. AS
the whangdoodle roareth among the
mountains of Hepsidam," so mournsth
the Times and refuseth to be COM
forsed.
That il should prove true to its rep
tile instincts and nature and endeavor
to strike and poison all who came near
it, was also to be expected. But the
people have extracted its fangs 1t is
no longer dangerous, and its contortions
and writings excite amusement rather
than fear SO exercised is the editor
that he actually forgets the day upon
which the election was held and speaks
Of ii as Saturday"
We cannot refrain from exhibiting to
our readers the reptile, for however ven
emous he may appear, IS We said before,
he is no longer dangerous, that they
may enjoy his agony, for it is enjoyment
to witness the death thross of poison
Gus Coppsrhead.
We copy, therefore, the Times leader
Of yesterday morning:
The ElectiOn.-Its Lesson.
Last Saturday was a sad day for this
Republic SO far as the State of Indiana
is concerned. We do not speak so much
Of the result, but the manner of its &C
complishment No fair minded man
can deny that Indiana was carried for
the Republican ticket BY the basest aud
grossest fraud that ever marked the an
nails Of political ehicsnery and villainy.
Such sight as was enacted in this city,
and which seems to have been paral-
leled all over Indiana, is enough to gil
every patriots heart with gloomy fore
boding for the future of cur country.
When men of wealth, standing and res
pectability viii deliberately leave their
business, not to NEEDLE in an ordinary
and honorable political contest, but to
dive into all the rascalities and frauds
which have ever been perpetrated by the
low-down villains of ssociety-when the
Mayor of great city land We write it in
deep sorrow so lar forgets the dignity
and duty of bis position as TO insult the
Inspector of an election, sworn to do his
duty, and actually dare him 10 leave his
position and take rough and tumble"
with him on the public streets-when
ministers of the Gospel mix with the
drunken rabble and by their voice and
i influence urge them on to deeds Of polit-
ical villainy, We can only exclaim, God
save our country, for nan viii not.
Never was such q scene witnessed in
Evansville aud in the county of Wander
hurgh as marked last Tuesdays election.
Perjury, black, damning perjury, was
stamped on many lip, and the record
ing angel as he wrote the names of the
guilty criminals and the no less guilty
instigators, dropped no tear of mercy to
blot out the foul and infamous crime.
Men who never had residence in Indi-
sna-boys under age-swore in their
votes, while others, not content with
giving one vote and ineurring the guilt
of one perjury, repeated the dose twice
and thrice. 0mnibusses and hacks,
hired by the money of respectable o.
men, were husy all day hauling up as
invalids those who had already given
