Who is in Favor Recognition! We have been frequently asked if we were in favor of recognizing the Southern Confederacy? We answer. No! But we are in favor of stopping this unholy and unnatural war. Withdraw the contending armies from the conflict. Let the din of warcease. Let good men, who are able, rise above the bitter memory of passions and wrongs meet and counsel together as to the best means of stopping the effusion cfblood—guarrantee to each and every State thejr rights under the Constitution, ns our fathers did. Then we w ill have no Northern or Southern Confederacy.— Then this war will cease. Homes that are now the abode of sadness for those that arc undergoing the hardships of soldier's life will be made happy by the return of those who went forth, as they thought; to defend the Uniou of our fathers. And, unless such a course is adopted, the independence of the thing called "Southern Confederacy" is inivliable. History furnishes us with no example where eight millions of people have been subjugated. Hence there is no party in the North who favor the recognition of the Confederacy but the party in lower, who are in favor of a further prosecution of the war, thereby rendering a reunion impossible. They are opposed to the old Union and the old Constitution. In 1850, Chase, Seward and Hale voted to dissolve the Union. In 1861, Coniray declared in Congress, “that it was the duty of the government to recognize the Confederacy,” and the Democrats were the only party in the North that would oppose it. Lieut. Governor Stanton, of Ohio, said in Congress, “if the South can hohl out for one year. I for one am in favor of recognizing them."— This is the course that has been pursued by the opposition for years. Then, who is in favor of recognizing the Southern Confederacy* Undoubtedly the abolitionists; for abolitionism and secessiouism is one and the same. An abolitionists is a secessionists. Abolition Massachusetts was the Grst State that ever passed an ordinance of secession, and it stands unrepcaled on the statute books to-day. The history of our country shows that the abolitionists have always been opposed to the old Union'. Mr Lmcoin is responsible for the foHn-’-ng;

“Any j«eop!e, anywhere, being inclin- • ed. and having the power, have a risht to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better Nor is this right confined , to cases in which :he people of any existing government may chwseto exercise - Any portion of such people that can may revolutionize, and may make their own so much of the territory as they inhabit. More than a majority or portion of such people may revolutionize, putting down a minority mingled » ith or opposed to their movements.’’ These were Mr. Lincoln's sentiments on the 12th of January, 1848. See Congreafenal Globe of that Session, page 94 These were his sentiments then and no rational man can doubt but what they are his sentiments djw. With these facts before our opponents we feel confidant that they will be saved the trouble of asking who is in favor of recognizing tbs South, WHO ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE UNION? For three long years this country has been the scene of the most bloody war the world ba* ever witnessed. More than two million o( men have left their homes for the scene of aciiot; to fight, as they ■.bought, the estm es of our contry believmg that southern men were the only enemies of the old union; bnt bow sadly were they mistaken, they left a formidable foe in the rear. They left the entire adtrinstrativn parly al home who are as much opposed to the union as Jeff Davis,— After years of war (three years that every lover of bi* country wishes blotted from our history) the southern men propose to retura but the perjured Lincoln, refuses to admit item; hence be and his followers are the only enemies of our country with whom we have to contend; and let us meet them as become men, determined to save our country from the ruin Lincoln, and his tratorous minions have determied to force upon it. One month from to day a draft will be -ordered for half a million of men, unless \ that number is raised by volunteering and we have no idea that that number of men can be found io the North who are willing to step forward and aid Lincoln, in destroying the country, if not then the draft will be ordered. We counsel no resistance to lawful authority, but when Lincoln, declares this war is prosecuted not to tnain’ain the constitution and enforce the laws, but to erect a despotism on the ruins of our republic, we ask ourselves will the people submit? Will they be made accessories to the mnrdet of our ; constitution and laws. It is the last feather which breaks the Camel’s back, and if the conflict comes may God strike with the oppressed. We shall ask no one to volunteer, (and do not intend to do so ourselves.) Our hands shall never be stained with the blood of the republic. Democrats stand aloof. TO J. J. BINGHAM E'Q. Dear Sir— While absent i« a distant part of the State, upon the labor of the canvass, the Democratic Congressional Convention of the Ninth District, held at Valparaiso on the 21st inst, passed the following resolution : Resolved, That whereas we believe that Hon. David Turpie, of White county, received a majority of the legal vo’.ee in this district in 1862. this convention of delegates, representing the Democracy of the Ninth District, nnanimou’ly nominate him for that office, and request him tc resign Lis position as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor on th* S'a'e ticket, »nd accept tbe nomination this day made. Although I prefer personally the po silica assigned me by the Democracy of the State at large, I do not feel at liberty to disregard the unanimous wish of my immediate neighbors and friends. I therefore decline the nomination for Lieutenant Governor. Trusting that nsy service? in this new field mar still be found useful in the great cause of D-mocratie truth and jusUoe, I nmaic very truly yi-urs D. Tcbfif. Monticello, Ind., July 25 1864 It Won’t Work. Abolition journals are on the point of working themselves into a terrible state of indignation and surprise over the tele- ' graphic report of a formidable North Western conspiracy which some prolific brain in their ranks has invented as a counterpoise to the disastrous effect the proceedings of th-ir executive in regard to the Confederate peace propositions has had in the mind« of the people. It is an <>l! dodge, and is well understood hr this time People will recollect now the the ’’K. G. C. ’• was originated and industriously harped trpon by great and small abolition journals until they grew disgusted with their abortive efforts, to make poltical capital out of it. Few people will be deceived by the new attempt. It is a hopeful sign of the times when that abolition party i« reduced to such desperate straits Io hide their > shortcomings. But we protest against their frightening their weak-nerved brethren by sach eoek-and-bnll stories
