THE RELIGIOUS SITUATION.
The Indiana Folksbldtt, of 1ndianapo-


The Indiana FolksblaH, of Indianapo-
lis, says:
1t is very clear that New England, in
order to maintain her hegemony, lssteer-
ing for religious war. The seven New
England States which, with population
of four millions, have a representation III
the Senate eqral to that of seven west
ern States, with a population OF ght
millions, are apprehensive that after the
restoration of eighteen Southern Sena-
tors. they will lose their control over the
Western and Sout hern States. because or
the probable combination OF t.,,' Senators
from these sections in the next Congress,
who will then undoubtedly insist on
lower tariff To prevent this, they must
nave war. As early as 1914, when
Massachusetts, became manufacturing
State, and thought her interests endan-
pered by the admission of Ohio and the
then impending admission of Indiana
into the Union as States, her Legislature
was imprudent enough to Threaten war.
and to split the Union. But, As Presi-
dent Madison had the good sense to send
the legislators word that he had notion
to send them all to the lunatic asylum,
Massachusetts, became little cOmpos,
though not to such a degree as to dis
miss all her rebellious spirit From that
time she courted the favors of the Eng
lish emahcipationists and the satellites
Of Palmerst0n. The George Thompsons,
Coughs, &c, who came to Boston loaded
with English gold, were only bought ag-
itators.
What Clandestine means were reSSrted
to. Senator Sumner might probably be
able to tell. who, after the famous
Brooks affair, journeyed to England, and,
if Jeff. Davis may be- believed. drew
35, 900 pounds from the India fund.- in
order TO further the cause Of humanity y
Sumner had himself lionized by the
English aristocracy, received from the
Archbishop of Westminster a plan for
introducing Protestant "State Church," '"
and an autograph letter from Louis Ma
poleon, and then returned to Boston, to
enter upon his mission of "furthering
the cause of humanity" His letter to
Governor Andrew explained how he
worked it, He boasts in that letter that
the firing on Fort Sumter was his best
work. But his mission" is only half
fulfilled. New England must have a re-
ligious war.
The Volksbiat then quotes an article
from the Boston Recorder. and proceeds
Ridiculous as this paragraph may ap-
pear, it receives certain authority from
another article over the signature OF
Sumner, which essays to show how i'm
portant it is for New England to prepare
for the next war-a religious war.
Well, then, if the sons of the "blue
lights" want war, war it shall be. We
have in the West million of war.worn
citizens, who found their way to South
Carolina and exteruinated the rebels
there; they will also find their way to
Boston.
The legion of New England priests
now swarming abont in the West, to in
augurate a religious war, have wide
field but bad soil to operate upon, and
the sooner the Boston peddlers recall
their apostles of discord, the better it is
for them.
