THE DISUNION DEMOCRATIC
TICKET.
Episode in the Life Of Hon. II. A.
Hendricks.
From the Oakland Daily Transcript, July LIST,
1861
TIE CAMP MORTON AFFAIR.
In one particular the nominations of
the st. Louis Convention are as strong
rs could bc made. Both candidates are
essentially disunion Democrats, and
the ticket may therefore be expected to
inspire the utmost enthusiasm of the
party. Gov. 1ildcn is the reputed au-
thor of the Infamous resolution adopted
i'm 1864, which declared the war fail
urc and demanded an immediate ccs-
sation of hOstilitics after the victory
had been won by the Union armies and
when the rebellion was Oh its Hast legs.
AS to Mr.. Hendricks, it is well known
that he was i'm open sympathy with the
Southern Confcdcracy, and did every
thing i'm his power to create insurrec-
H., 10, 80 ,a
out of the Union. TO establish this fact
1t Is only necessary to make n rapid re-
view of
THE CAMP MORTON CONSPIRACY,
i'm which Hendricks was u leading ac-
tor.
Some time i'm June, 1862, q great
Democratic mass meeting was called
to- meet i'm indianapolis, ostensibly u
political meeting, but the real purpose
being to seize Camp Morton, liberatc
the rebel prisoners, get possession of the
arsenal, and give the State of Indiana
over to the Confedcracy. More than
$4,000 secession Democrats attended
from all parts of the State, and nearly
all armed with rcvolvcrs. At that time
the State of Indiana had 10000 Union
soldiers at the 'front.'. Camp Morton
was garrisoncd by only two regiments,
and these were poorly armed, having
no cannon, so that the capture of that
post by so vast Il number ofarmcd men
seemed altogether feasible. On the
morning of the meeting an crpOsc of
the reasonable order of the Knights Of
the Golden Circle had been published
I'm the Journal and Gazette, by Col. "A.
f. Redstonc, now of Oakland, who, UNI
der various DISCUSSES, had worked his
way into number of their lodges and
learned the purpose of the convention.
Great excitement prevailed in the city,
and all expected that n collision of the
swarming rebel Democracy and the
handful of Union troops would occur
during the day. On the previous eve
ming General Darlington, the comman-
der Of Camp Morton, had sent 10 Chi
cago and obtained several cannons, and
these, unknown To the great crowd Of

the emergency.
When the crowd had assembled and
insurgents, were held in readiness for
the speakers and officers had taken
their places on the stand, COL Redstone
mounted the platform, seized one of
the small flags, and, waving it aloft,
called for
''THREE CHEERS FOR TIE BOYS AT THE
FRONT,
and for the final triumph of the Union
cause" and the crowd, not understand
ing the precise situation, checred lusti-
ly. At length the mistake was discov-
cred, some one drew pistol threaten
ing to shoot the interloper, and rs small
squads of Union men had been sta
toned at intervals through the vast
assemblage, n general fight was immi-
nent. At this point Redstone called to
the Union men to "train that cannon
upon the stand!" and although no cam
non was in sight there was an imme-
date and prccipitatc retreat Of the UNI
terrified, Hendricks and being
the first to leap from the stand and
scale the adjacent fence. The Union
men then took possession of the plat
form and held rousing meeting. a
part of the rebel Democracy repaired
to their hall, but their original purpose
having been discovered and defeated,
their subsequent proceedings were spir-
itless. When returning home i'm the
evening the Democratic rutlians fired
from the cars upon the Soldiers Home,
wounding one of the inmates. This
aroused the whole city. Cannons were
brought to the depot and planted in
front of the trains, after which the I'm
ion men went through the ears disarm-
ing the passengers, and collecting alto
gcthcr about five thousand revOlvers
and other small arms.
Such isa rapid sketch ola well-knOwn
historical event in which Gov. Hen
bricks was II leading participation
There is no doubt that Hendricks and
were the projectors and lead
crs Of the conspiracy, which was only
defeated by the courage and frmness of
II few Union men. 1t is not to be sup
posed that Hendricks participation in
that infamous affair
WILL DIMINISH IFS POPULARITY

THE FAMOUS PARCHMENT LOOKS
THE LEGIBILTrY OF THE SIGMA
TUREs.-The patriotism of the aver
age American was forcibly atteSted
yesterday by the continual rush to
view the "Only and original Decla-
ration of Independence. During the
day not less than & ,O60 people scru-
tinized the mpsty piece of parchment
that created stir in the world one
hundred years ago. Ordinarily the
daily attendance does not exceed one
thousand. The text of the document
is as clear and distinct as when Han,
cock and his cOmpatriots, regardless
of the threats of King George and
his miniOns, put their fists to the
same. But the vandalS, in search Of
fuc- SMILES, have not been as friendly
as old Father Time. In taking a
proof the signatures were mOistened,
and in consequence many Of them
have faded into empty space. John
Hancock'S name is dim but distinct,
but the signatures of Thomas Jeffer-
son, Benjamin Franklin, Robert
Morris, and others of equal fame,
have entirely disappeared. The best
preserved signatures are those of
Roger sherman, Robert Treat Paine,
and Step. Hopkins, The names of
John Adams, Josiah Bartlett, wills
liam Whimple, Samuel Huntington,
and several others, are also very
clear. Several experts closely ex-
amined the document, and expressed
the opinion that the lost signatures
could be restored by chemical agen>

Bayard, and yet it thinks the nomi-
nation ought to be given to the
west. 1t supports the N. j. Ex-
PRESS in its opposition to Tilden
because New York is not entitled
to the nomination, Really we
think no State and no section
entitled to it. We must make a
strong nomination in order to win,
and when we have found that
sound democrat who is strongest
we have found the man and the
State entitled to it, because they
can win the Presidency for us. We
have no choice except that we
think Gov. Tilden the strongest,
Then let us have him, unless the
negative can be shown.

If ANYTHING were lacking to
bring freshly before the present
age, the truth that the Turkish
Empire deserves national death,
the recent trouble at Salonica
would answer the purpose. Salonica
is a city of 10000 inhabitants, and
is Immediately north of the King
dom of Greece. In former times
it was known as Thessalonica and
was the locality of one of the
churches founded by St. Paul
The inhabitants are partly christian
and rarity musselman. Though
the former predominant in mum
bers, the latter have the sympathy
of the Government, In the recent
troubles it seems that white wo-
man was being hurried off under
pretense that she had professed
conversion TO the Turkish religion,
but the matter seems to have been
brought in question by the Ameri-
can Consular agent, and it seems
that in this he had the aid and
sympaty of the French and Ger
man consuls. Thereupon these
officials together with the christians
generally were set upon by a mob,
which the military were unable to
quell until it had killed both the
French and German Consuls. The
Porte seems actuatcd by the utmost
haste possible in making the proper
amende, but we think, and few
Americans will be found to differ
with us, that something more than
the usual formalities is necessary.
For ourselves we heartily wish the
great powers Of Europe could
agree upon a plan by which the
Turkish Empire and the Turkish
power could be blotted out

was one of the fratcrnal messengers

to excuse him.
