In his CentreviIie speech Governor MoRroS
said.
But for the events since last December. there
Is a terrible responsibility. Aud let not these
men be surprised If the friends Of lost ones Who
sleep in death many n battle held-let them
not be surprised. say II in their hearts these
befeayed ones should lay to their door the re
sponsblty Of this thing for thus protracting the
struggle by encouraging the rebels. IL j. hard
TO regard this thing lightly as mere party affair.
and IL people get angry these coPperheads
must not be surprised They must remember
that they are splitting our best blood. and bitter
oaths are registered against them in bereaved
hearts. they must not be surprised
What special events have occurred since last
December 10 which His ExceIency alludes We
know not. bu, for whatever has affected the public
interests dsadvantageously during that period,
the party in power are solely responsible. Upon
the skirts Of the leaders of the Republican party
"our best blood, needlessIy sacrificed
for party interests, and TO the Governors
language. III bitter oaths are registered against
them IN bereay Ell hearts they must not be
prsed -
Where rests the terrible responsibility to
which the Governor refersl Has not every man
and every dollar that the Administration has
asked for since the beginning of the war bees
promptly furnishedg In that regard the North
have been united people. This cannot be de-
med Practically, regardless Of individual views,
the entire North have been fighting the South
for the Administration has been furnished with
all the means il demanded for the suppression of
the rebellion in the very way il elected to do t.
No intelligent person can forget the promises
that were made to the country upon every
call for troops Each one was to be the last. 1t
was all that was needed TO suppress The rebellion
just ready to fall into the last ditch These facts
must be fresh in the minds of every person, so
that proof to sustain them is unnecessary.
We only propose now to refer briefly to the
following declaration OF His Excellency but
for the events since last December. there is a ter
rible responsibility" That's 50. but the saddle
should be placed on the right horse In Deem
Der last there was immense war meeting
hell in this city, which addressed by His Ex
cellency. In the Journal of Dec. 9th, the Gov
errors organ there appears report of his speech
upon the occasion We quote few extracts
from u, 10 Wnlcn We uNetl atttluon-
He Governor NJ. believed that the WA,
rapidly drawing to a close and that probably the
soldiers now enlsting night never go to the field;
but the government demands them and II Is our
duty 10 furnish them. He
appealed To them to come forward now, although
ut the eleventh hour, and assist TO end the war
Who that reads these declarations can arrive
at any other conclusion than that either the Gov
a. 4 ttr
comprehend the magnitude of the war. or
else he was wfully deceiving the people.
In either contingency he stands response
BILE for "spilling our best blood and he
must not be surprised if the friends of the
fallen remember it against him. What induce
ments did he hold out to fill the quota required
of indiana! The rapidly drawing To a
close and that probably the soldiers now enlist
ing might never 60 to the field" These promi-
ses proved delusive. They were probably inten
ded to be so Upon whom then rests the respon-
sbitY OF the blood Of the men who were en-
sized TO enlist by such Inducements
Only few weeks ago another call was made
Governor MoRToS offered 10 the President twenty
thousand men from Indiana for one hundred
DAYS service This positively the last call
The Governor assured the people chat this ser
vice was ell that was needed 10 finish the rebel
lion. and he announced pompously by telegraph
that he would head these men IN person. and
lead them to victory the grave Blu. Gov
srnor MoRToN is no, At the head of these men
He j. probably at the seaside some fash
ionable springs. enjoying the festivities which
characterize Those fashionable resorts.
Is it strange then. in view of the facts which
we have named. if the friends of the fallen since
last December will hold OLIVER p AIoRrON to a
fearful responsibility Already il is intimated
shat Father ABRAHAM will call for FIVE hundred
shousand more l. this carnival Of death
never to eUd. and will the people be longer
deceived by such ehatlatans as NoRroN?
