In this connection it may not be insp-
propriate to quote the following from an
editorial in the Richmond Examiner, Of
the 18th nit.
'while the political leaders arc thus intelligent
IL arranging their platforms, Indiana we learn has
become more disloyal this year than ever. =
50 this year again there signs OF trouble inthe
great Northwestern signs OF peace with Us. but
OF disintegratioa and disocation home; grocioas
buds OF promise, which with the approach of this
election May bloom and blossom into the bloody
fruit o. recctaSiioH." eslf7nI tdsiZ Il
Col. Morrison is we'll known in Illinois,
and if he has stated what this letter repre-
sents. he has not spoken without knowl
edge. He is not ''war Democrat" though
he fought bravely AMI gallantly in she war,
and at Donelson received the wound that
compelled him TO leave the service. He
has been supposed TO have "pesce" pro-
clivities, and his votes in Congress have
had that tendency. But we quote his let
ter from the Commercial because its state
ments are for the most part confirmed by
a private letter received few days ago by
the editor OF. this paper, from Democrat
ic member Of the House Of Representatives,,
in which he says:
"s . am informed by those who know, that.
on the = inst, the dark lantern wing of our par
ty, which is now, they claim the most Of IL, meet at
- to consider matters Of political conccrn.--I
would be glad to know what those fellows do. for
il they want to go to HI, would like to have
reasonable notice. Let me know what is DONE
| mean what is done OF political nature; wha!
they do towards instruction in the 'manly art Of
cell Defense and all shat sort OF stua, that am
told they talk about their meeting Is no matter,
= and -, and the whole tribe will run at the
first fire. Bnt, fthc concern has the strength
claimed for it. why h may do damage, by leading
men into crime, folly, murder and ruin ~
The extracts we have taken from the
Republican papers we give for what they
are WORTH but this letter is from person
in whose word we have the most unbonn-
led confidence. We have suppressed the
date and place of meeting. and the names
Of parties mentioned, for reasons which
may be given hereafter. Suffice it to say,
that the convention OF certain leaders of
1.-THE Democratic party who have in view
the destruction Of the country is fixed
fact. They have several schemes all tend.
ing to the same end. They desire. first,
the defeat of our forces in the field. They
desire the ovcrturning OF the finances Of
the country in order to hasten the public
mind to an acquiesccnse in general break
ing mp They propose to force the Demo.
cratic party at the Chicago Con yention
into measures that will produce these re-
suits. and part of their scheme is to edu-
cate the Democratic party to resist. by
force, every act Of the Government officers
in the execution of military power in the
Northern States. IL no collision Of this
kind can be produced, or if produced. fails
to arouse the people generally. then Val
llonaigham is to be brought back, and his re.
arrest to be resisted by force. and If neccs-
sdry by blood and revolu ton. The com.
plexon of the National Convention that
meets here on the 4th Of July will deter
mine the order of proceedings. II that
Cow ention promises to be war conven-
tion Of the Horatie Seymour kind, then On
attempt will be made. by previous violence
and collision with the Federal officers, to
force the Convention into an attitude Of
declared resistance to the Government.
| If that Convention promises to be a
Peace Convention, such as is advocated by
the Cincinnati Enquirer, in which the war
in its inception. prosecution and continu-
ance will be denounced unconstitutional
and not deserving or requiring the sup
port, aid or countenance of any citizen.
and which will declare purpose to ac-
complish an immediate peace with all the
inevitable consequences. then in all proba-
bility a resort TO violence will be post
poned until the convention shall declare
such to be the dnty of all Democrats.
But the general purpose. plan and end of
the whole faction is to .'fre tho Demo
cratic heart" to open rebellion against the
Federal Government Jefore the Presiden-
tial election. Against such wicked and
Infamous prostitution of the Democratic
organization it is the dnty of every Dem
ocrat and Of every citizen to protest, and
it is his duty to denounce and repudiate
every man. however remotely connected
with such reasonable and diabolical
plot-a plot which il even partially sue
|, cessful will deluge the country with blood,
will convert our streets into avenues for
for daily strife. and overturn all respect
for law, aud all security for life and prop
kerty. s.
