The GubcrnatOriaI Canvass.

Mcssrs Morton and Mcdonald have en-
tered upon joint canvass for Governor.
They spoke last week at LaPortc. South
Bead and Goshen, at each of which pla-
ees there were from five thousand to ten
thousand persons present. Quite large
number Of the citizens Of this County,
attended the meeting at LaPorte, which
Notwithstanding the gasGonade Of the
Chicago Tribune, resulted in complete
skinning of his Accidency o. p. NJ. The
exposure by Mr. Mcdonald of the illegal
and unwarrantable acts of Morton, his dis
honesty, duplicity and corruption was
scathlng rebuke to the timescrving dema-
gogue who at present occupies the posi-
tition OF Governor of Indiana. We should
be glad if they could speak in every Coun-
ty of Tic State before the election. The
meetings at South Bend and Goshen were
We learn similar to the one at LaPortc,
and will result in large accessions to the
democracy. Mr.. Mcdonald is winning
golden opinions for himself as an able de-
batter, and will lead O. p. NJ. through
the fires of tribulation before the canvass
closes.

opinions and purposes of the Democracy
of the State, have deemed it proper pub
licly to declare
First-That while it is the well consid-
cred and inhcxiblc purpose of the demo-
cratic party of this State, acting in concert
with all patriotic citizens who respect the
purity of the ballot and desire the public
good to maintain by force, if need be and
at all hazards, the right of the people to
free and fair elections, we condemn any
attempt at resistance of the laws before
constitutional remedies are exhausted, and
earnestly advise all men to abide patiently
the action Of the chosen representatives of
the Democratic party at Chicago Oh ne
18th Of August, looking forward to the
coming election for peaceful and consti-
:utlonal redress of grievances more effect
ual than violence.
Sccond-ln times of public peril like
the present, and in view of what are be-
lleved to be we'll founded apprehensions of
attempts on the part of those in authority
to interfere by military power with the
freedom OF elections, patriotism and pru-
dcncc alike demand the constitutional right
of the people to keep and bear arms as
necessary means of defence to free State,
should not be violated nor abandoned;
and it is the right and duty of all good
citizens to cooperate in open lawful or
CARNATIONS for the protection of the free
dom of elections and for the preservation
of peace and constitutional order and the
rights of the people within the State; as
well as for its defense against invasion
and we especially recommend to the peo-
pie in all their counties, townships and
election precincts thorough organization
for these ends.
3. Asmanifest quality exists in the as
signment of quotas to the different States,
under the late call for 800, 600 men, which
have created the belief that there has
been an unfair discrimination in favor Of
certain Eastern States; the prejudice of
Indiana and other States, this committee
has assumed the duty of ascertaining by
application to Governor Morton, Adiutant
General Noble, Provost Marshal Baker or
other proper authorities, the grounds of
such inequalities, and whether or not they
are in accordance with law aud can be
remedicd.
