Meeting Wedmesooy Ntgnt
Major General Judge HucHrs took occasion to
review an article which appeared in the Sentinel
Of Wednesday morning last. at the Circle meet
ing, held on the night OF that day. The seuu-
ments we attributed 20 General HuGHEs. as bsv-
ing been expressed =, previous meeting in the
same place, were reported 10 Us from sources
which We could not question He made the re-
marks in spirit. II not in the exact phraseology
We gave them. II was mean speech when cir
cumstances are considered, which he can fully
appreciate. IL Was an incendisry speech. IL
vas a blow at the integrity, politically. morally
and socially. of individuals with whom he has
been in daily professcdly friendly association for
ysars up "a the time those expressions were ~
tered.
The public record OF Judge and General
HrGHEs have the right to ven;i'ate, and il
would make singular chapter Of political incon-
sistency ii IL was worth the labor - develop il.
The private declarations Of the ZANE dis,in
guished individual, from 1856 NJ To The present
day. would presen, still more singular record
OF Inconsistency If we had the right Ca use them.
We are happy To notice. however, that Judge
General HreHEs says he IL opposed to mobs He
ls opposed to mob violence. but il in favor of
Government violeace. We quote from The
Journals report Of his speech:
1T had been said that he was iu favor OF fe
leasing the rebel prisoners in Camp Morton, and
placing 30 900 Democrats in their places What
he did say. that the great fault OF the Ad
ministration aud OF the Military Government of
Indiana had been in its lenency, and that it was
nonsense TO allow TRAITORS 20 60 unrestraIned al
home. That IL these men we're enemies 20 the
Government (of which the Government 10
be the judge IL was nonsense To keep the rebel
prisoners confined and let them run loose
