the Journal intimates be did, blazed the road
which the nation must follow to maintain con-
stitutional liberty and preserve the Union Of the
States. there is not Democrats but will walk y
the pathway he marked out. In conclusion We
quote another extract from Gen. JAcKsoS's
Farewell Address, and ask the Journal and the
party il represents whether it is platform which
they can indorse and ON which they are willing TO
stand with the DemOcracyI He says:
but the Constitution cannot be maintained,
nor the Union preserved, in opposition to pubic
feeling, by the mere coercive powers coniided q,
the General Gov ernment The fonnda lions must
be laid in the affections of the people; in the
security which il gives to life, liberty and prop
erty in every part of the country; and in the ira
ternal attachment which the citizens Of the sew
eral States bear one 20 another as members Of
political family, mutually contributing to promote
the happiness Of each other. Hence the citizens
Of each State should studiously avoid everything
calculated to wound thessensibility or offend the
Just pride Of the people Of other States aud they
should frowm upon proceedings within their own
borders likely 20 disturb the tranquility of their
political brethren in other portions of the Union.
nina country so extensive as the United States,
and in pursuits varied, internal regulations of
the several states must frequently uiHef Ifofu
one another n important particulars; and this
difference is unavoidably increased by the vary
ing principles upon which the American colonies
were originally planted; principles which had ia.
ken deep root in their social relations before the
Revolution, and therefore, of necessity, inhu-
eneing their policy since they became Tree and
independent States But each State has the IN
questionable right to regulate its own internal
concerns according 20 its own pleasure; and while
it does not interfere with the rights Of the Union
every State must be the sole judge of the meas
ures proper secure the safety of its citizens and
promote their happiness; and on efforts on the part
Of the people of other States TO cast Odum upon
their institutions. and all measures calculated to
disturb their rights of property, OF to put in
jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility, are
in direct opposition to the spirit in which the
Union was formed, and must endanger its safety
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned fol-
this nnwarranted interference, and weak mer
may persuade themselves. for moment, tha
they are laboring in a cause of humanity, and as
sertiDg the rights OF the human race, but ever,
one, upon sober reflection, will see that nothing
but mischief can come from these improper as
saults upon the feelings and rights of Others
Rest assured that the men found busy IN thi.
work Of dscord are not worthy of your conf
dence, and deserve your strongest reprobation.'

Under the last call Of the President for three
hundred thousand men, the quota of Indiana is
little over sixteen thousand There Is no doubt
this number will be raised By volunteering, with
out crediting upon the enumeration the veteran
troops who re enlist. The surviving members Of
many of the old regiments. whose time of SER
vice is about TO expire, have almost unanimously
re-enIisted, 50 that the quota Of the State would
be more than filed If the enlistments were placed
to her credit: but it is proposed to fill our quota
under the last levy without reference to the re-
Dewed enlistments of the veteran regiments.
The Adjutant General Of the State, in speech
the other day. stated that We had ninety-seven
regiments in the field. Not one Of these regi
ments is full Many Of them number not over
two hundred and fifty men Say that the de-
fciency of the regiments in the field will average
three hundred men, and this is low estimate, it
viii require about thirty thousand recruits to Ell
them. According to this calculation il will take
at least double the present levy TO fill the old
regiments to a maximum standard Under such
circumstances what is the true policy Of
the Government? Is it to organize new
regiments of the recruits under the
present quota. or to incorporate them
with the regiments already organized and
which have been in the service? There can be
no doubt but the latter course would be the wise
policy. Both the officers and men of the old
regiments have had experience-that which is
not only useful, but necessary to make good
soldiers. 1t would also be an economical policy,
for the new recruits wonld not only more readily
learn their duties by being associated with
veterans in the service, but it would save
the expense of offering new regiments,
when those in the field are largely
deficient in numbers If the interests of the
country and the service were regarded, the new
quota of Indiana would be promptly Incorporated
with the old regiments. But such a policy would
cut of partisan patronage; mere politicians would
be prevented from rewarding partisan friends,
hence new Brigadier Generals, Colonies, Cap
taius, Leutenants, Quartermasters. Surgeons,
Chaplains. Suffers, &c. must be appointed at
enormous cost to the Government, when there is
an abundance of such officers in the field who
have seen service and are without commands, or
who hold rank without one-tenth OF the men un
der them that they should have But il appears,
under the present administration Of public Affairs,
that partisans be rewarded, regardless of the
public interest, and matter at what cost to the
public treasury.

A cotemporary. in noticing the lull in public
affairs suggests that it is a most fitting period to
consider the present condition of the country and
the course we are drifting as a nation 1t re-
marks that 1.-THE public mind is impressed with
the idea that we have been travelling at tremen
dous rate of speed under the guidance we have
had, and that it is well in the present calm to
stop for an instant to see where we are on the
road. The track of empire leads to power and
prosperity. or to destruction. 1t is not always
possible to determine with accuracy which way
we are going, especially when the speed is rapid.
1t is not always certain that the conductor him
self knows any better than the passengers
Hence pause on the way for inspection, ex-
animation, reflection aud Judgment, may be ex
ceedingly important.
I'VE should. all of US, take advantage of the
present moment to make this examination. Let
men recall now the first principles oLour govern
ment, and see whether we are still going accord
ing to them. Let them remember the great truth
that if the nation leaves those principles now, we
shall never return to them. Tie millions of
people now forming the government will not be
likely to come together and compare interests and
compromise differences, as the comparatively few
thousands did who made the United States Con-
stitution. 1t would be "A very different thing to-
day to form a union between New York and
Rhode Island on principles of equal sovereign
rights. /. would be moral impossibility for
South Carolina and Massachusetts to agree to a
compromise now. These not the times when
New England Representatives in a convention
will unite with South CaroInan representa-
tives to sustain the slave trade against the
views of Virginia. OF make any other of the
compromises on which the Constitution rests.
Therefore it becomes us in these times to think
solemnly before we abandon any OF those old
principles, OF allow the people to found their ex-
pectations of prosperity and perpetuity of union
on any principles. unknown to fathers OF
rejected by them We should take advantage OF
the present lull in the political storm. stop the
train moment anil look for the landmarks OF
constitutional liberty, of national power, of pub
lie happiness. IL we have been going wrong. let
us start right this fall We are to take fresh
start then. We shall not have calm for many
weeks The tempest will be furious soon and
then there will begin a struggle about which way
we shall go. and we shall continue on the pres
ent road to ruin unless we are wise in time"
