Iowa readers will pardon us for being
interested, somewhat, in Indiana matters
The hoosicr state was our home from sc
to 'o6, the central portion, so to speak, o1
a mans life-l9 to 80. Gen. CRUrr is the
proprietor of the Terre Haute Express; a
pct of his, named JONES, ,cas postmaster.
The Gen. and his friend Jones went it
strong for Congress and dis-union. Capt
ALLEN, one of the bravest of the brave, has
recently been made p. NJ. of Terre Haute
Cruft don't like it, and he pitches in. AL
LEN comes back by stating that his money
and energy raised the first company of the
Indiana 2lst, commanded by Cruft that
he afterwards spent 5000 to raise compa.
ny OF the list, commanded it four months
and never received cent of pay, or dol
lar of reward, in any shape. He was nom
mated for Auditor, accepted the nomina.
ton, and was beaten by an unfair decision
of the Vigo county court.
Capt Allen then goes for Gen. Cruf,
and the supporters of Congress, as fol-
lows:
What next did do General? The only
thing which thought proper under the
circumstances. shouldered a musket, as
a private, and again went into the service,

Mr.. Jones, but fancy that will not be the
judgment of those who know me. have
no reason to doubt your patriotism while
in the service. You have as little reason to
doubt mine IN or ont of the army.
After Mr.. Allen had given his time, his
services, and his money for the success OF
the ''union'' party, Gen. Cruft charged that
his nomination as postmaster could not be
regarded as favorable to ''union'' men. be-
cause, as Capt. Allen supposes, twas made
by President johnson. To this intimation
Capt. Allen thus responds:

lazy, ignorant negroes to vote in the Dis

expenditure of money that is drawn from
the hard earnings of the people to keep up
poor house for the negroes in the south.

tons and state laws shall be set aside to

Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
The graveyard whistle"-(we confess
to dislike of this stereotyped political
phrase )-of the radicals relative to the ap-
preaching Union Convention at the city of
''brotherly love-" indicates most forcibly
the fears of the wanderers from constitu-
tional law and common sense. In connec-
ton with the self-inhation which now
prominences the treasury rats, we give be-
low nutshell shot from that time -honored
paper, the National htelligencer, the old
whig organ of CLAY, and of WEBSTER.
The unanimous endorsement by the DEM
Ocratic senators and members Of congress
of the call for the national union conyen-
ton. at Philadelphia, has been made the
subject of much comment. The radical
organs have endeavored to arouse against
it the objections of democrats by the argu-
ment that it is an abandonment of the
democratic party organization. Some of
the democratic party organs have allowed
themselves to be misled in this respect, and
express doubts as to the cxpediency of
cordirl support of the movement They
have needed the arguments of the radical
disunionists, and have adopted the very
ideas that these conspirators against the
Union and the constitution were anxious
to infusc into the minds of democrats
The democratic party, as party, can gain
nothing by Withholding support from this
convention. The only party to be bene-
fitted thereby, is the congressional disun-
ion party. Those democratic organs which
hesitate to heartily advocate the conven-
ton are unconsciously and unintentionally,
but too surely, playing into the hands of
the congressional central directory, and
helping on that nest of conspirators
against the Union and the constitution.
The object of the national union con-
yention is plainly and unequiv2cally ex-
pressed in the call for it. There is not one
patriotic lover of the Union and supporter
of the constitution, north or south, what
ever may be his party associations, who
cannot consistently endorse that call for
1t requires no man to cease
to be Il whig, democrat, or a republican.
1t presents one single issue-the only i'm
portant issue now before the country. it,
appeals to all men DESTROYS of a restoration
otnational unity, fraternity and harmony,
to unite ina national conference for that
purpose.

THE WIDOW MYsIE.

THE following lines from the young Scottish poet
ROBERT BUCHANAN. one of the daintiest bits OF les
cription we have met with for many a dayl
sweet was Widow Myse, sweet and sleek,
The peachs blush and down were on her cheek
And there were dimples In her tender chin
For Cupids small to hunt for honey in;
Dark glossy were her ringlets, each prize
And wicked, wicked were her beaded eyes,
Plump was her figure, rounded and complete,
And tender were her tender, tinklng feet!
All this was nothing to the warmth and light
That seemed to hover DER her day and night;
here'sr she moved she seemed to sooth and please
With honeyed murmurs as of honeyed bees
Her small, plump hands public missions flew
Like snow-white doves that flying crow and COO;
Her feet fell patter, cheep, like little mice;
Her breath was soft with sugar and with spice:
And when her finger-so!- !-yeur hand would press
You tingled to the toes with loveliness,
hle her dark eyes with lessening zone in Zone
Flasht sunlight on the mirrows of your own,
Dazzling your spirit with wicked sense
That seemed more innocent than innocence.
Sure one so beauteous and so sweet had graced
And cheered the scene, where'er by Fortune placed;
But with background of the pewter bright,
Whereon the fire cast CLEANS Of rosy light,
With Jnghng glasses round her, and scent
OF spice snd lemon.peel where'er she won't
W hat wonder she should to the cronies seem
An angel in cloud of toddy steamr
W hat wonder, while sipt my glass one day,
she and the whiskey, stole my heart away.

The Difference.
Governor Morton and his body guard
comfortably seated on the cushioned seats
of elegantly covered carriages, rode in the
monster procession" with its wings rest
ing on Pennsylvania and Meridian streets
The disabled soldiers from the Home, for
whom his Excellency processes such an alb
sorblns anxiety, were permitted to ride in
an open wagon, beneath the broiling rays
OF the sun. 1t would not have cost much
to hire carriages for the disabled soldiers,
but the managers seemed to think hard
rough board, and an open wagon were
good enough for men who had only sacri-
feed health and limbs in defence of their
country.
The above from the Indianapolis Herald
gives the usual style of the millionaire SYM
pathizers with the brave boys in blue
Epithets for those who are their real
friends, and rough boards for the soldiers,
are the elements out Of which '.lovaltv" is

proper to say that do so chiefly because
of the difference of opinion between us in
regard to the proposed amendment of the
constitution, which approve, and the
movement for the convention to be held at
Philadelphia, on the l4th prox., to which
am opposed. My confidence in the pat
riotism of the union republican party, and
conviction that upon its permanent con-
troll of the government depend, in large
measure the peace and happiness of the
