a radical meeting was held at Franklin. Ind,
the other day, at which one hundred women
appeared on horseback, each attended by a
"cavaer." \ correspondent Of the New York
Herald describing the appearance of the town
on the day of the meeting, says:
"The town was filed with country people
early 10 the morning, the women wearing in
variably some bit of red about their persons,
to symbolic the bloody shirt principle upon
which the campaign is conducted. Some wore
shawls that were entirely red, or barred with
red, and red ribbons fattered on every side.
The men who took part 10 the procession wore
blood red shirts, with cuffs and collars of blue.
The whole atmosphere of the town had an en-
sanguioed lock. The eye was panied physically
and morally by the all pervadiDg color, emble
matio, as in this instance, OF hatred Of the

The bloody shirt is being Haunted with re.
doubled eoergy by the radicals, especially IN
Indiana and Ohio, just now, and hatred of the
South is the principle feature of the campalgo
on their side, aud the card with which they
expect TO win, if win they can. Ealsitying every
promise that they have made In retcrcocc 10
the rees,ablishment OF fra;erual feelings be.
,ween the sections they now openly proclaim
their designs, aud should Hayes and Wheeler
be elected the country may expect sectional
admipis,ratioa-on Conducted not for the good

upon the ultimate brcakug assuuder Of all the
ties that have bouD the various parts, and by
keeping alive the i'll feelings engendered by the
late war finally disrupt and destroy the UNION.
Successful. IN the approaching election they will
again become aggressive, aud will not stop
short of carrying into operation the teachings
OF Boutwell, Blaine Morton aud Logau-tic
Red Republicans OF this country, whose sole
aim is the entire subiugatlon of the South,
the overthrow Of true republican institutions
and the establishment Of despotiSn, the like
of which would ouly be eqla'ed by tie reign oil
the Red Republicans in France. To this com
plexon has it come at last. The radicals, if
they possibly can, will force sectional issue,
and will ruin it they cauuut rule. The people
of the North and West, who nave the interests
Of the country aud the perpetuation of free To-
sti.utous at heart, should ponder we'll upon
the present aspect of affairs, and seek to alay
rather than iucite pr'jadics and auimosity.
They may be led astray by the false accusations
agaius, the South preached to them from the
stump. and by an uuscrupulous partizan press,
but the deed having been accomplished, nonc will
rue its evil consequences more than themselves.
