INDIANAPOLIS, June 20, 1854.
The polititta, cau1dron Is beginning to
seethe and bubble, in Specification OF the
frenzied madness which, now only mumnling
in Its vast depths, shall rise and agitate it
when the conventions shall have all been
held, and the witches Of party strife shall
have formed ring around it, and the dance
have been begun. No one can, as yet, say
when that time will arrive, for things are so
mixed up, on all sides, that 1t were folly to
predict anything as certain to happen, unless
it be the election of Honest Old Abe In
November. The copperheads exult loudly
and long over the seeming split in the Union
ranks. They laud Fremont to the skies, aud
roll his words OF acceptance as a sweet
morscl under their tonEues. On the 'sgapc-
sinner-and swallow" principle, they take
back at gulp all the stories they 50 indus
triously circulated in 1851, to the detrim cnt Of
the Woody Horse, and cry peecav;asts! They
will be sworn That Fremont never stole any
coWs-never gouged the Government a
cents worth, and if he had, his match1ess
services rendered to science and his country,
would far more than have repaid the debt.
They hnil him as the great Pathfinder, the
Explorer, the Soldier; and the little Copper
head Convention, held at Detroit the other
day, finishes the gloridcation, and rounds up
the sphere Of praisc, by proclaiming him "a
Christian, scholar, and gentleman The
scales have dropped from their long blinded
eyes, md those whom they used to stigma
tize as "thc dirty Dutch,.' they now see t.as
gods walking" They hob-nob With them
over the fragrant lager, hold their noses and
speak pleasantly over plates of Limburg
until +3.af1 4aa{t
bread and pretzels, and, as they change from
mellow to maudlin, clap the mcancst man On
the back and below Justify for Fremont.
This all has been for a purpose. They
knew that their only hope Of success at the
polls lies in our weakness, and that our
weakness can only be found by dividing us.
They think they zee crack, and they seek to
lake the Germans inborn love ofliberty the
wedge that shall spltt and destroy the only
purity who seek to make such liberty the
universal law Of the land. They are now at
work, Us busy as beavers, trying to widen
the breach so as TO cause split upon our
State ticket And in order to accomplish It
they have taken up their old time tfade Of
making lies, and forging speeches, hoping to
deceive - the very elect" Their Last effort
Of this kind is so bold md derilish, and It's
prompt exposure and rebuttal so just aud
necessary, Tint for the benefit Of your read
era in the Northern portion of the State. I
will notice it little at length.
On Saturday evening, the 18th inst, the
Union men had an Immense ratification
meeting in the State Honse tquare. The
principal speaker vas Gov. Morton, who
spoke for more than IN hour upon the ac:ion
Of the Cleveland and Baltimore Conventions
their candidates and their platforms, and the
= ork tlat lies at our hands to be done. He
discussed Fremont's letter Of acceptance,
paragraph by paragraph, and den ounced 1t
as deceptive, and unworthy OF the man whom
the Republican party had 80 honored in
times gone BY. In speaking Of the Germans
he raid he knew them to be loyal and liberty
loving people, always true to the cause Of
Freedom and Justice But he argued that In
this matter they had been deceived: de-
eeiyed Ms to Whist was for the best interests
Of the country and themselves; snd that
they would one day Gee Il at IN vt ng fer
Fremont, how thoroughly they had pla5ed,
