Deputy Grand Commander OF the Sons of Lib
erty, Of Indiana, who has been on trial here
for participation In q tressonsble conspiracy
to-day turned state's evidence, and made q
startling revelation Of the schemes Of the order
he said nobody but Democrats had ever been
admitted into the order, or would be, If any
applied.
He confirmed the previous evidence OF The
military organization and the appointment oi
. major general TO command II.
DR.. Bowles, one OF the accused, was com.
mander-in. chief, with . stat, Of which DR..
James B. Wilson, recently arrested, was adJu.
tfnt general. He said that q committee OF
thirteen was appointed 10 prepare for an insur-
rection intended 10 release all the rebel pris-
oners In the Northwest, arm them from Gov.
ernment arsenals, overturn the State Govern.
ment, kill Gov. Morton or hold him as hostage
for captured lnsurrectlonists, and then form
the Northwest into separate confederacy.
He said he was told by Adjutant General
Wilson that t500, 900 had been sent by the
rebel agents In Canada into the Northwest to
purchase arms for the order, and that two
hundred thousand had been left In England In
the hands Of Dodd and John @. Walker.
Wilson showed Heffern s1, 900 that he rc-
celved from Berols TO buy arms In Washington.

Morton, and few days since the Governor 70.

AN ARMIsTIcE, OR THE TREASON IN
THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.

The "Democraticn Convention, so called,
recently assembled at Chicago, distinctly de-
mands, In its platform OF principles, "ces-
sation OF hostilities." A cessation Of hos
tilities" is, in other words, an armistice. 1t
becomes the people of this country carefully to
consider what will be the effect Of an armistice
upon our present struggle. We have block
AIDED the Southern ports. The effect of this
blockade has been to reduce the rebels to ex-
treme want for munitions OF war and supplies
for their people. Another effect OF 1t has been
from going to market.
This failure Of the supply of cotton to the
world has raised Its price from ten cents to
SOL pence in gold. In the beginning of the
war the rebels made loan In Europe based
upon promise to pay that loan in cotton,
at ten cents per pound. Cotton now being So,
pence per pound In price makes this loan worth
thrice the face of it, providing the cotton could
be taken out of the Confodcracy and sold in
Europe. The hope Of getting out this cotton,
with what Is actually carried out by running
the blockade, makes that loan now worth
seventy.sir cents on the dollar In gold. The
British loan, or the consols of England, is now
worth eighty mine in gold. The United States
loan is worth about forty in gold.
Foreign nations have endured the blockade
because we have been actively prosecut
ing the war. If an armIstice should be de-
clared, there would be no reason why the
Powers OF Europe might not demand the open,
ing OF the Southern ports. The opening Of
these ports would Immediately take the cotton
of the South to European markets, place the
Confederate loan at high premium and enable
the Confederacy to get all the money 1t needed.
With this money 1t could build privateers so as
to sweep our commerce literally from the seas:
1t could supply itself with arms and mum,
tions OF war, with provisions and all the neces.
saries of life so as to leave no possible hope oi
ever crushing the rebellion. For these reason,
George " Saunders telegrdphed from Canada TO
the "Hon." Mr.. Weir that he nominee ofthe Chi.
cago convention should not be opposed.
In this brief manner we indicate to the peo
pie of this country the reasonable purpose Of
the managers Of the Chicago convention, ant
