Ovation to Treason.
Wiekednsss Of a Convict Traitor.

From the CINCINNATI 6a1etIe----
The Democracy of the Heosier State
have begun to rally the faithful OF their
clans, for the attempted redemption Of
their ancient stronghold. And properly
enough the campaign was opened by call
ing out that representative man. Colonel
LIP. Milligan, late Of the Ohio Peniten-
tiary, but in 1864 and 1865 one Of the
Chief the Sons of Liberty, or American
knights. who plotted the subYersion of
the State Government OF Indiana INTO
the hands of rebel5 and disunionists. He
is one of the fathers of Democracy in In
diana. and the fact that he was convicted
of treason and sentenced to death, only
makes him the more popular man with
those who during the late war with the
secessionists sympathized with them and
held up their hands in every practicable
wav thev dared. As a martyr In this
cause. it is eminently fitting that he
should be made the hero of his party IN
the approaching political contest with
those who fought and labored to subdue
the Southern wing that same party, ar
rayed against them with arms.
The correspondent of the Gazette gives
an account of the reception demonstra-
tion, and areport of the villainous speech
of the man whose life was spared by the
men whom he so maliciously traduces.-
We probably could not by any other
means present the true character Of the
leading spirits of the eopperhead party IN
a more appreciable light, than to repro
duce Milligan's haTangue, which was
cheered and endorsed by his party friends
who heard him. We extract the follow
ing specimens:
