We have repeatedly pointed out til,
evil infamous measures rcsortcd to by
the few unprincipled men who have
seized the direction of the Democrat
ic party and have rushed 1t from one
calamity to another. These Demo,
cratic leaders, having pushed their
desperate fortunes to the worst ey-
tremity now propose the last measure
in fact they propos' to rise or fall
at the last ditch, and that ditch is the
organization of the Demo cratic party
in armed hostility to the Federal
Government. We invite Il careful
pcrusal Of the following extracts
The Cincinnati Commercial says
editorially:
Governor Seymour will not follow
the counscls of the ultras Of his party
and seek M opportunity to make wal

has been vigorously pressed to resist
the draft, and draft into war with
the national authorities. Dcputa-
tions Of coppcrhcads from the West
have visited Governor Seymour at
Albany, and brought pressure upon
him, to take the lead in Il Northern
'insurrection. 1t is proper to say,
that Mr.. Daniel w. Voorhees,, of In
diana, member of Congress from the
Terra IIaute district, called TO see
Governor Seymour on this business
and was exceedingly disgusted be-
cause he did not find the Governor
ripe for rebellion.
The Washington correspondent Of
the same paper, who is well known at
Washington, under date of March 81,
says:
Very little has been heard Of this
organization (Knights Of the Golden
Circlc) oflate, but they deceive them
selves who think it is not still in ex-
istencc, or that it will not put forth
efforts more vigorous than ever du-
ring the approaching summer and fall
to accomplish its mission, which is
directly the disalrcction of the North
west on the subject Of the war and
the Union, and indirectly the cstab-
lishment of the Southern Confcdera
cy, and the annexation to it of 'the
States of Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois.
William II. Morrison, Democratic
Representative from the Twelfth Con
gressional District of Illinois, stated
this TACT to friend yesterday. Mr.,
Morrison was for two years n Colo,
mel in the army, and though now n
peace man, refuses to join the knights
though he has been importuned to do
so. He is well acquainted with the
leaders and principal members Of the
traitorous cabal, and knows whereof
he aGirms when he says they will try
to get control Of the elections in the
North States next fall.
A large number of Coppcrhead
members from Indiana and Illinois
have gone home within the past two
weeks, and for no other purpose than
to organize the Knights Among
those who have gone is Mr.. j. Allen
representative from one Of the south
ern districts of Illinois--the success
sor of Gen. Logan. This gentleman
it is we'll known, wanted TO organize
the men of Southern Illinois and put
them in the confederate army, SO Lo-
gan charges him ut any ratc--and it
is not secret that in his district he
did raise several companies, which
he sent south, via Paducah, and which
were mustered into the rebel service
in Union City, During Gen. Grants
campaign in Mississippi, ] met sol
dier who told me that he was from
Southern Illinois, and that he belongs
to company raisd by Mr., Allen.
Senator Hendricks though, perhaps
not member Of the organization is
pledged to the establishment OF n
North. western Confedercy. and the
same may he said of every Indiana
Copperhead in Congress, and of all
the leading members of that party at
home--Judge Eckles, Jesse ID. Bright
and such men.
