democratic Majority IN both Houses Of the
Indiana Legislaoure--Tha Next United
States Senator.
La- Indiana correspondent Of the ST. Louis
H1y.-5. Eggs, uuaaG da.s ot October 9, gives
che .a..o"-ng .mFo-taa. facts IL reference 10
Sic new Legislature u t..ay stale:
THE certainly ihal the Democratic party
has obtained a majority in both houses 81, the
LEGISLATURE has thrown a cLoud over the joy OF
the Bnion party, for il is now sure that tha
Democrats viii have q majority Of five yotes
IN the Senate and from four to six votes in the
House, The Governor will thus be bound hand
and foot, and must prepare for a very bitter
war with the Legislature. And this tine the
Democratic Leaders in the legislature viii curb
their opposition so much the less, as they assert
firmly that the Union party mas gained lis VIC
tory in Indiana only by the most fraudulent
means. The originator of the Military Bond
bill, B. w. Hanna, of Terre Haute-of all the
members of the last Legislature most odious to
the Union party-has been reelected with eight
hundred majority. VawteT, another extreme
opponent Of Morton, Is elected by a majority
Of two. Jackard, the leader Of the Democrats
in the last House of Representatives, will also
have a seat in the new one. OF course all of
these men viii oppose Morton bitterly, and the
meeting Of the next Legislature IS thus looked
for with anxious and feyerish suspense. The
election of United States Senator viii pro-
duce little difficulty, and Turpie or Mcdonald,
the beaten candidates Tor Governor will receive
this post The chances are in favor Of the
first, as the Democrats are somewhat dissatis-
fed with Mcdonald because he fell considera- |
bly, behind the rest Of the ticket. But thls
would have happened to any other one. The
chief difficulty will arise on the budget ques-
ton. Morton viii, of course, ask for the in
dorsement of his extraordinary loans to pay
the iaterest Of the State debt and current Gov
eument expenses, and if we May judge from
tae Democratic speeches during the campaign,
tae Legislature viii refuse to sanction Mortons
action.

secure Divine Interposition." The Com.
Uasreial is prepared to go the full length

upon the portals of our cemeteries, "there

To the Editor oi the Chicago Timet
The present aspect of our national affairs
has tended to make many republicans de
nounee in bitter terms our present adminjs-
traton. refer TO the peace propositions
which we're rejected by our government, when
the only hope of conservative men to put an
end to this unholy war is by peace proposi-
tions, 1t has tended greatly to change the
minds of loyal men, that the cause for which
we are fighting is not for the welfare of our
government Ia speaking thus, l think can
safely say am expressing the views of one
hundred republican voters in this voting pre-
ciDct We therefore ask of the Chicago Con.
vention to adopt peace platform, aud nomi-
nate peace candidate, who is in favor of peace
upon honorable terms. And l think can
safely say that the conservative republicans
Of Northern Iowa, who have the welfare of
their country at heart, will adopt and labor
for the election Of such candidate for the
Presidency. A REPUBLICAN.

''UnIted States"

A State is q sovereignty. The word is
used by accurate writers in this sense, and
in no other. France is State; Austria
is State Russia is likewise q State.
The word does not at All indicate the ma.
ture of the particular Government. II
may be free or despotie, and in either in
stance it is not the less State. A State
Is "the whole body of people, united under
one government, whatever may be the
form Of the Government" The signifca-
ton is sovereignty, independence, SUI
premacy in its own affairs.
When a name, was being sovght for
the General Government, the selection in
itself Indicated the kind of Government.
1t was hot to be STATE, such as France OF
Russia. If it had been such, it would
probably have been designated America,
But it was to be q Union of States and
hence the denomination "UNITED STATES" ;"
That is to say STATES united for specific
purposes, S,-purposes plainly defned-but
in all other respects, states, sOvereignties
free and independent of each other and oi
the world.
If the powers claimed for the General
Government by the Republicans wers
Legitimate if they had legal and su.
thoriEed existence there would be nc
States. Such an application of the word
would be misnomer. We might still
have our legal boundaries, and divisions
and preserve the names of Ohio, Indiana
DC, but neither Ohio nor Indiana would
be State. They might be colonies, OF
provinces, or dependencies, or sstrapsies
but not States. The word State is never
applied to Government that is not in
itself sovereignty.
Hence we see, that the fathers, by the
very designation which they bestowed
upon the Government, indicated the sover.
eighty Of the States. 1t was intended
that the name of the Government could
never be spoken without reminding those
who heard and those who speak of the
doctrine of STATE RiGHTs.

Glorious TrIum Pin in Kentucky

famous BURBRIDoE caused tie name Of

stituted the name of Mr.. ROBERTSON as
the candidate for Judge of Appeals, and he
is elected in spite of BuRBmDaE and his
bayonets. This is an indication thot
Kentucky may again be what Kentucky

The Cost of Republican RuI,

Coal eleven dollars per ton-cofee seventy
cents per pound--tea, sugar, spice and ell ne
cessarIes OF life, in proportion. Such is the
cost of Republican rule.
Nor is the oppression of prices felt only in
groceries. The cost of clolhing, and Of the
other incidents of living is even mote in

actual and prospective-real and personal,
town, county, state, national---internal anc in

Considered with these stupendous evils,

death that has been gathered, striking desoa

munities saddened by long list of killed and

And why has all this evil come upon our
once happy and prosperous land2 Simply
because the Republican party, in order to gain
power, iDGuguTated a system of politics that
could only eventuate in war and blood There
is neither honesty or policy in throwing the
blame of present cslamties, upon other
causes than the true ones. Repubicanism,
and republicanism alone, is guilty Of the DO

In view Of the proclaim alton of the President

the 4th inst, as day of fasting, humiliation
and prayer, consider it my duty to call the
attention of the community to the observance
of the same.
To the ministers of the various churches on
whom will devolve the duty of opening prayer
in the presence of their congregations, and es-
pecially those ministers which have inculcated
the doctrines Of war and blood, 80 much at va
rance with the teachings Of their Divine Mas
ter, would humbly recommend tina: they Will
on that solem occasion, invoke the mercy of
heaven to hasten the relief of our suffering
people, by turning the hearts of those in au.

We remember, before this cruel war
began, but when it was imminent, Mr..
BUCHANAN recommended a day of prayer
to the Almighty, that he might avert from
the people the horrors of the conflict which
seemed at hand. Tho pious suggestion
of that patriotic statesman was met with
q storm of derision and blasphemous rid
icule from the Republican leaders. Let
them fast and humiliate now. Having no
part or lot in the sins which have wrought
the destruction of the Government, we
feel no special obligation to assume the
garb of saekcloth or defils ourselves with
ashes.
We wonder if ABE LINCOLN, in this
hour of terrible calamity, even ON day
prescribed by himself for religious observ-
ance, can refrain from ribald jests and low
vulgarity? We have no belief that he
can restrain his instincts to the extent re-
quired.
