The Journal comments at length upon the
divisions or supposed differences i'm the Demo-
cratic party and trusts TO that for surcess in the
cunning political canvass; but vain or fallaeious
are such considerations There is no division in
the Democratic party upon principle Its mem
tons OF policy, but they stand alike upon the
issues which have and which now divide the
country Says the Republican State paper:
1.-The Democracy does not seem likely TO enter
the Presidential contest in a much more efficient
state than the Union party" Undoubtedly
there is a difference of sentiment in the Demo
cratic party in regard to the true policy Of the
Administration in the present crisis Of public af
fairs, but there is none whatever so far as party
issues are concerned. The Democracy do not
believe that war. or coercion, can restore the
Union, hence they stand opposed to the policy of
the Administration. If the object of the war is
to restore the Union. it should be prosecuted
TO that end. Is such the object or purpose in
the conflict in which we engaged2 If so.
there will be no division of sentiment in the
North. But If partisan schemes and purposes
control the action OF the Administration. il must
be expected that there will be division Of senli-
ment among the people Of the loyal States
There is the line of demarcaton, and the Re
publican or {" Union" party are alone responsible
for whatever results may follow the issues they
have forced upon the country

rhe Baker-PerkIns correspondence.


Some days ago theie appeared in the Journal
a correspondence between Col. CoSRAD BAKER,
Assistant Provost Marshal General for Indiana,
and Judge PERKINS. which was paraded in that
paper with great flourish as complete crusher
of the latter IL appears that Judge PERKINS
Issued a writ of habeas corpus in the case of
minor who was in the military service Of the
United States. aud the fact so appearing upon
the trial. he ordered the discharge Of the boy
from custody Col BAKER pronounced this case
70 come in conflict with the Presidents prOcla,-
nation suspending the writ Of habeas corpus. and
he advises the Judge that he shall report the
fact to the Provost Marshal General but at the
same time asks for an explanation or apology in
the matter.
In response to this Judge PERKINS inquiries
whether judicial tribunals exist in Indiana, or is
their supposed existence DREAM The Colonel
replies with fling at the integrity and loyalty Of
the Judge. thg. Courts do exist in Indiana 'and
without let or hindrauce from the judicial author
ities make decision inimical 10 the discipline and
efiei eney Of the Federal soldery whenever their
judicial judgment moves them thereunto." We
copy the correspondence at length because the
Journal regards the labored letter of Col. BAKER
as invincibe and also TO make the record that the
political party represented by the Journal
sustains most unequiyocally all usurpations OF
power and acts Of manifest injustice and wrong
by the Federal authorities And in this connec-
ton, as a rejOinder to the positions taken by
Col. BAKER. we make extract from the opin-
;o,, Of IuAra Den uruo in the oasa Of Gvrrpf1
WILcOx, which completely covers and refutes all
the points raised in the second letter of the As
sistant Provost Marshal General, and with this
record we leave the public to judge the merits of
the controversy.

How IA White Regiment Resented an
Abolition Insult.
From The Detroit Free Press, March u.


The penchant ct nbOlitionists for mixing the
negro with everything they have to do or say
here, met with a just rebuke from the men of the
gallant 10Th regiment. which arrived here YES

gardly to employ white band. or wishing to ex
hibit their affection for their sable brethren, by
having them continually at their RICH; hand, lis
suited the returning heroes, fresh from the bat
tie fields OF the rebellion, by calling out negro
band to assist in this reception. This is the ap-
probation abolitioniss have of brave soldiers
They do not consider them as good as negroes,
and put the latter foremost in public reception
liz was a brutal insult, and was felt such by the
indignant soldiers They very properly refused
to march after the negro band. aud the officers
were compelled to drive the men into the ranks
mt the point of the sword But after arriving on
the avenueth the men rebelled and refused to march
another step after the band The consequence
was the procession broke up in confusion The
men made their way in squads to the different
hotels where they were assigned for breakfast
The band minus followers. except crowd of
negro urchins of various sizes, brought up in
front of the Railroad Hotel A number of the
men were quartered here. and the more they re-
lected upon the insult that had been offered
them, the greater became their Indignation.
They may have been nothing but common sol
diers, used to the hardShiDs of the Geld and the
wild terrors OF the bltte but they still had some
lingering belief that they we're as good AS ne
groeS. IL would have taken but spark to ignite
the fires of Indignation that were smOulderng in
the breasts of the soldiers, and they would have
'ceaned out" The band, who were hanging
around the portico of the hotel. evidently think
ING their services we're to estill further required
But the committee who employed them had
probably retired to their closets to- reflect upon
their generous treatment OF the returned soldiers
at least none OF them were TO be seen upon the
streets. The band. seeing that matters were
fast assuming threatening aspect in their local
ity thought it advisable to make The best of their
way back to camp As they turned TO skedaddle
the soldiers pelted them with apples. and
eered lhem and called alter them with no very
complimentary epthets. IL no fault of the
members of the band, but of u cert1in woolly-
headed member of the Committee Of Reception,
whose characteristics seem to be penuriousness
aud love for the negro.
