Prescription.


Radical journals are never so happy as
when they charge upon the Southern peo-
pie the crime OF prescription. To them it
Is evidence of disloyslty-of hatred to the
Northern psople-of the existence of p.
purpose to renew the war. Would 1t not
be we'll to first pluck the beam out other
own eye before they look for NOTES in the
eyes of others. Now what does this charge
amount tor In Mississippi, which state
seems to give Radical Journals much un-
easiDess, and over whose fate they are
cons antly weeping their crocodile tears
of sorrow, our neighbors in Illinois are
forming settlements and they are delight
ed with toe people, the soil and the climate.
No complaints are made about proscrip-
ion, social ostracism or want OF hospital
ity. Why? Because they go there 10 be-
come owners of property, to become citi-
zsns of the sfste-to become part OF the
people. They vote as they please, unswed
by power and unmolested by violence.
Having an interest in the welfare of the
State, they generally vote for the party
which represents the intelligence and hon.
esty OF the masses. 1t is needless to say,
then they don't vote the Republican tickle.
Another class of persons, attracted by the
plumber to be gathered by official thievery

through manipulation OF the ignorant
freedmen. have gained place and power

pie they misgovern. They hope by cbsrg

divert attention from their own iLflny.
To this class belong such men as the Ssns-
tor (so-cslled) from Alabama, Spencer; the
Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgis; War
moth, of L uisisns; Ames, OF Mississippi;
the infamous Moses "a nativ J, OF South
Carolina, and host of Others whose want
of prominence alone saves them nom a
a national fame of infamous degree. These
men are proscriDed; they are
socially ostrscised, not because they
sre Republicans, but because they have
prostituIed every position they have held.
to the oppression Of the people and the
sggrsndizsment OF their own fortunes,
because they are political harples fstten-
ing on the spoils wrung from an impov-
erished people, because they are the buzz
zsr5s OF lobby feeding on the putrid
carcass OF false and slanderous accusa-
ton. Any community in Christendom
would prescribe them, ostrscise, them,
hate them. Here, in Indiana, no place
could be made tor them. The pc pie would
not tolerate them under any pretense
Yet they are held up by Radical Journals
as martyrs to Southern barbsrism. But a
few days since the Journal, to throw some
discredit on our county clerk, asserted
that he had employed a rebel, real live
rebel. WHAT state is in rebellion now7
Who are rebels now? Does the Journal
forget that the GueriI'a Mosby. who was
q rebel, is bosom friend of Grant, That
be has had appointed his ex-comrades to
Office? Dies he forget that Long
street was q rebel general and has
held Office for years under Grant?
Can not the Journal call to mind other
cases of like degreef Boil this charge

embrace the doctrines of the Republican
party, purifies one and sbsolves him from
all sins of the past. Bow down TO the

bestows honors, and you can put your
hands In the public crib and there shall no
harm happen TO You. Look at the whisky
