THE EAGLE. — D. J. (.' \LLEN, . Editor. OEOATUR, INDIANA.’™ - ' I’K l)U, JULY 10, ISO*. For preu den r C. L. VALDANDIGHAM, of onio, i a » i s < s • r i■s 11 > i nt. BENJAMIN G. HARRIS, OF MARYLAND. SALUTATORY. With the present number the Engle commences a new career. Its eoitn-e tion with the firm of Spencer it Schir meyer is closed. Those patrons who have prepaid will have due credit; and all those in arrears will please come forward and renew their subscription. In assuming the responsibility of editor, we deem it our duty to mark out the future line of conduct that will govern the publication of the Eagle. We intend to make no promises beyond the compass of otr abilities to fidfill. The Eagle while under our control sha’l be issued regularly. As heretofore, its polotics will be Democratic. Believing that the Constitution, and not the arbitrary will of our public servants, should constitute the sn-1 preme law of the land. We shall adhere strjetly to the time-honored principles of Democracy: believing that they alone can save our country in this, its hour of peril. Our pen shall ever be weilded in defence of State Rights as contradisting-1 wished font centralization. In the coming Presidential contest, in w Licit is involved ail that is dear to A nierican citizens, we will favor the nomination of men who are in favor of the Old ! Union as our lathers made it; and oppo red to the further prosecution of this unnatural war for the purposes proclaimed by the Administration. In short, we intend to make the Eagle a paper that the Democracy of the Banjter county of this District will never be ) ashamed to sav, the Eagle is our home , organ. With these few introductory remarks,! we tip o.ir beaver and make our editorial bow. D. <l. CALLEN. THE WAR. It appears as though the war is about to be transferred from the Southren to I the Border States. The rebels have in vaded Maryland in force. The capitol is ) threatened; all the public documents have been placed upon board a vessel | and everything goes to show that an at . tack on the city is expected: and unless 1 recruits are sent to the East immediately we may expect to hear of the invasion of Pennsylvania. Now is a good time for men to show i their patriotism. Those men who have . cried war “to the knife, and knife to the | hilt;” they should now rally as one man to the aid of those brave men who for i three long years have braved the dangers of battle and protected tlietn and their property; now that there is danger of them being overpowered it is their duty to say come instead of go: and show by their acts that they are willing to help wind up this “breakfast job.” Political preachers, Government Assessors, Tax Collectors, Provost Marshals, and Lincoln Spies shoulder your muskets and ke.-p step to the music of the Union.— How many of you will go? for an answer—we pause. Gr'L publish this week rhe speech of ITott. C. L. VAi.r.Axnioiix'r, on his return to his native State, after spending thirteen months m exile, by sentence of: a drum head court martini, and the order of an unjust and tyranical President. It is a source of pleasure to every patriot that he has returned, determined to the last to defend and enjoy his rights as a citizen and freeman And. also, the backing down of the Administration in tho ca<e of Mr. Vallandigham. gives assurance that the reign of terror is drawing to a close in America Men car. retire in safety at night, and sny “this hoti-e is my castle—no man can enter 1 here unbidden ” r,y«Tos. E. McDonald and David Tur pie a r c our candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. We will publish the proceedings of tire Convention next week. With such men for our standard bearers we predict a glorious victory for the Democracy’ in October next over King Oliver and his vandal hirelings that are now living off the people's labor, an I robbing them of their eights

■ I I Ther moral <>f Colonel Bowman . from tbeSnp riiitemlency of West Point, because he invited Genera’ McClellan, to deliver the address upon the laying of a corner* stone for a monument to W est Point soldiers, fairly illustrates the spirit and capacity of the man wh • could indulge in such an exhibition of spitefulness. His little soul was . stung by recognition of the skill and services of McClellan, and he had not enough of dignity and decency to conceal his mortification. No one supposed he would hive, aside from the restraining influences of his position. Prostitutes have sufficient resper t for propriety to assume a modest behavior when chance throws them into ’ virtuous circles. If it. was imagined that a ‘smutty joker’ would! shrink from insulting the nation by a prostitution of the highest office to gratify personal mtlevo-) lenceso ineffably contemptible, the i mistake is now rectified.—Chi. I Times. ( Wendell Phillips publishes a lengthy letter of the New York . Independent, giving conclusive reasons why Lincoln as a candi- . date for re-election should be ajbandoaid. Among other reasons ' is this: The next merit of Cleveland is [ its protest against the fast grow-1 ling despotism of an administration which never shows vigor except i against single individuals and in i the q liet streets of New York and Boston, but is imbecile and sub-1 j missive in Tennesoe and New Orleans. If in the profound peace of New York and entirely without necessity, the President usurps al! i the power of Congress and the Juidiciary —as in the Arguelles easel ' —or wholly suppresses ihe Senate! !by sending his tool Frank P. Blair ) Ito command an army without the: shadow of a cmrnission 1 it is time jto askuhere we are. If these! things are done in the green tree, I nhat may we not expect m the dry Ever since 1831 I done what 1 ! could to point out the dangerous) 'tendency of this use of despotic I power. Washington, July".—The Preslident, in accordance with the joint resolution of Congress, has issued a proclamation a pointing the first Thursday in August next as asj day of humiliation and prayer for The people of the United States, and commanding them to confess land repent of tlrnir manifold sins implore compass : on and forgivness ■ I of the Almighty, and to pray that il’cnusistent will His will, the existing rebellion may be speedly. suppressed and the supremacy of the constitution and laws the United States be established throughout the States: that the rebels may ' i lay down their arms and speedily, return to theirallegience; thatthey may not he utterly destroyed; that , the effusion of blood may be stayed and that amity and fraternity may , be restored, and peace be established about the borders. _ The state convention.—we have, just returned from the Democratic : State Convention, and give as 1 much of the proceedings aspossi-! ble. The convention was large) and harmonious, and thebest of feeling was apparent. There was a most unmistakably strongpeace feeling manifested by the generali-, tv of the delegates, and we are I safe in saying that the Indiana) democracy are opposed to the fur-! ther prosecution of the war for the | purposeof abolishing slavery and in ! favor of er inpromise and peace at the earliest possible period. The! i speech of Mr. MeDonaM, is clear on ! this point, and also emphatic infavor of state rights and sovereignty.! It e’icited thunders of applause, and will be read with interest by or.r subscribers.—[Fort Wayne Sen. J®*A voting lady says that “if a cart wheel has nine fellows attached to it, it’s a great pity that a good looking girl like her can’t l ave one.”
