charge il a fabrication out Of whole cloth
His ErcelIency also charges that formidable
secre, political organizations exist IN Indiana
which no, only sympathize with the rebellion
bat are in correspondence with the rebels, ana
have promised them CO operation. We copy the
charge from the article in the Journel OF yester-
day:
They who asked. nay, implored, John Nor
gan TO wait and not come into Kentucky until
Indiana was ready to aid them. have not ven
tured to tell the people that they are in conf
dence with avowed traitors, warning against the
republic But nevertheless il IS all true. Dodd,
Devln, Bowles 4 Co, assisted by Bingham,
Ristne. Athon. MillIgan and others, are in this
plot We happen to know It.
So far as we concerned, We pronounce the
foregoing charges and insinuations In every lota
unquali6edy false. The man who says ne "hap-
mems TO know" the truth OF what he states. lies
He knows he lies. And we presume that every
person named in the extract will stamp the state
ment as false We know OF no secret assoca-
tons, organized for reasonable purposes unless
itbe what is known by the name Of Loyal Leagues.
We understand that ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS the
head of these National Leagues, and that Gov
ernor MORTON is the head of the Indiana League.
We understand that one of the obligations or IN
structions of these leagues is that every member
must arm himself with a musket, ride, OF shot
gun. and that the order has issued from the head
of the national organizations to Governor NOR
TON to- organize the members of the leagues thus
armed into Home-guards. 1t secret political or
carnations are reasonable, in what light does IL
Mace the members of this secret Lacquer In
what position does it leave Governor MoRToS
Can there be any thing more Infamous than tor
the Governor of State to place the public arms
ammunition and accoutrements in the hands OF
bis party friends organized in secret political as
sociations? There can be no good meant by such
acts. They have a wicked purpose in view.
Again his Excellency charges that 1.-THE Dem
ocracy of Marion county know that the secret
order packed aud controlled their local ticket
When he made this charge be should have
looked at his beautiful visage as reflected in a
mirror Who packed and controlled the Balti-
more Convention and its nomineesy Ii was a
secret order Ii met in council the day before
that Convention. The Loyal Leagues In ad-
vance made the platform and nominations at
Baltimore They control the local tickets in In
diana. They packed the Convention which nom-
mated the Republican State ticket. And Gov
ernor MoRroy and his confederates justify this
packing and controlling of Conventions by Sc
cret clubs. Very consistent man is His Excel
lency. is he no,7
Here il another charge Of domestic treason
who burnt the steamers Lee. Jenny Lind,
TAYLOR, &c. loaded with government stores! We
will answer Armed rebels did not. Who fur
nished these stores2 The people of the United
Indiana Good things for the sick and wounded
were on those steamers. Bread, -four and medi-
cines we're on those steamers. Sanitary stores
were on those steamers. Clothing and domestic
love tokens we're those steamers. who burnt
them? We answer-rebeis They were not SOL
diers of the South Who did it. They were not
enlisted soldiers who did it. They were not
brace men who did it. 1t was domestic traitors
who did t. liz was men who hide their treason
-, ha
government knows who did it. Ii can lay Its
hands upon those who nstigated the foul wrong.
This accusation duplicates the Democracy of
Indiana The organ of the Governor says the
men who burned the steamers named hide their
treason under the cloak OF Democracy" Ii
also states that 1.-The government knows
who did IT, Ii can lay its hands upon"
them. Ii so. 1.-The government com
mits a grave crime by not laying its hands upon
them. But the fact is these charges are mere
rhetorical fourishes. There is no truth in them.
The men Who utter them know this. The Gov
ernor mentions several names domestic
traitors" Is there one of them but who is bet
ter citizen and purer man in all the relations OF
lifef We challenge him to the issue The Gov
ernor and his confeierates know that the charges
OF his organ are SANDERS. The only object in
making them il to stir up strife. But even this
will come to naught. What object has His Ex-
cellency and his confederates in maintaining a
pure. just and equal government superior to
those whom they stgmatze with dsloyaltyl
None whatever They have hut one object, and
that is a contnuanceiin power To secrue that
