nominees, which had assumed such
alarming proportions that the secret
Order proposed revolution at once
There were present at that meeting Of

This revelation throws new light ou
the advice Of the State Central Commit
tee to the CoppsFheads to form opes
armed organizations, aud proves thai

McDonald's charge that the Tlss In
diana took military possession Of th'
polls in this city in October, 1862, i
false. The regiment was not in III

For the sake Of giving color to th
charge that there was no freedom @

would be beaten, aud so staid away t
enter the plea Of fraud and force as
Justification for revolution.
