Disaster at Petersburg, in which aereral regiment were gobbled up bodily. How long must tb'u buman slaughter continue! I it not time for the nation to paueand think? Doddt Norton and the Journal. The Journal of yesterday was afflicted with a ery Tloleut atuck of Dounon the brain. It reproduces from the "official report" iu the Sctinel of Monday the speech of II. II. Doid, Eeq., at a towmbip meeting in Hendricks couuty, on Saturday last, and affect to see io it "treason, stratagem and spoils." It labors to nuke the effort of Mr. Dodu a very significant aftair, when it is only a reiteration of the sentiments of JrrrEauaox. Madisom. and the founders of the government wbo thought with them, o Ur m it refer to political doctrines. Mr. Doin, or "Harry" Dodd, as the Journal styles him, expressed no new political opinions. If it thinks there U trciou in them, then JirrtEsox and Madisox were traitors and all who hare thought with them. He expressed no political doctrines but what are embraced in the Kentucky and Vir ginU resolutions of 1JS-3'J, and which he ha.l the approral of eery Natioual Democratic CouTeatioD which h assembled since that period. The Journal attempts to gi.e importance to the utterances or Mr. Doou, by referring to him as the "Grand Commander of the Sons of Liberty" iu Indiaua. In fact Hi Eicellency's organ mikes it out that "Harry Dopd" is a very great man, and that gentleman is under many obligations to that paper, reflecting no doubt m it does the seuliroeuts of O. I M. and company, for the importance it has given hira. If it continues its criticisms in the ein of U issue of yesterday, the Journal will force Mr. Dom to be a great man in pite ol bim elf. The fact is Mr. Donn speaks only for himself. His iews in regard to the policy and results of the war are his own. They may be right or they may be wrong, but he alone is responsible for them. He may express the yIcws of others, but if so it is accidental and not ht concert or authority. We believe in the old fashioned American doctrine that every citizen has the right to entertain his own views and to eipress bis own opiniou upon all matters affect ing the public welfare, but Morto and Companv think aud expres the opinion that no man has right to any opinion utile it squares with the doctrine and nolicvof the turtr iu nowcr. There , j , . is an old adage which reads that even error can t aflv tolerated if reaou and truth are left j free to combat it, and we are happy to notic' that in spite of mil'tary despotism the people are determined to assert both their manhood and their political rights. The nation is passii throuzh a terrible ordeal. Its confluences no tnau can forsee. Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Morton and Mr. Dodd may entertain widely different nnSnirtna at to the results of the war, of the present sectional antagonism, ai'd one Is of no more value than the other, unless tho.e views are based upon common sense and the his tory of the put so far as it can be applicable to tk nrMfnt Mr. Mortom almost every dav gives expression to his views o! public affairs am the duties of the citizen in the present etui of the country, aud why has not Mr. Pom, Mr Jo.xm. or Mr. Smith, in this frre governments the same right, as he hIiouM have the same priv ilege? And in conclusion, wc will remark that the readers of the Journal, by the republication of the speech of Mr. Dodd in that print, hue had the privilege of reading ionic wholesome dtrlnesa nd sentiments fearlessly expressed, which mko.Ni ml r. fit Ii rsned them, and its abuse has given thäui aud him a significance am importance which otherwise they could not h ire attained. For theee reasons the speech or Mr. Donn will be read by thousand ho otherwise would never have uoliccd it.. The Theory of .Tlilltnrr Cwnac vlptton. The modern srstem of military conscription as x means of raising armies, dates from the French Revolution , and was invented by the authors of that great social convulsion for the purpose of promoting their anarchic and ambitious projects. It proceeded on the assumption that every man owed military service to the French Government from the fact of his birth in France, and from this premise the revolutionary Jortrinairt jumped to the illogical conclusion that it ws right ud proper to sweep every able bodied Frenchman, of suitable age. into the ranks of the French army, bv the summarv and arbitrary process of concriptlon. They first revived that military service was a debt, and then provided a means by which the (JoTjrnment might claim, from as many as bouid be drafted, the payment of that debt. We need not say that, regarded iu the licht of political morality and private rij:ht, the premie of the French doctrinaires m not axiomatic and their in ferem-0 is illogical. Meu are not mile fur Governments, but Governments for men, and there is no ethical or political ronton that we can perceiv; why the duty of military mvicc houlJ be made tu differ in it condition Iroui any other kind of service rendered to the Government. The reader will of cour understand that these ubfervatioQs rehte to the? finnUniental grounds of the theory on which all conscription law are based, and that iu this iew thev are aJdrepod to the inquiry that may be raicd respecting the legislative power of a Government, and are not directed to tlie ascertainment of the citizen's duty under conscription laws after they may have bee a enacted. Unwtre or impolitic laws, until repealed or judicially declared void, are as much eutitled to be obeyed by the subject and enforced by the Executive as laws of the mot obvious propriety and rightfulness. Upon the general relations of the question of military conscription we prrsuuie iuite will dispute the juatice of the following observations of the New iork Commercial Advertiser: It la supposed by many that a conscription I without auy cotnpcuatou will un-re justly etjual ixe the burdens cf the war. This view we hold to be an error. Men are not equally adapted to the military set vice, nor equally desirous to ruler It.

I "To some men a military life open to them ! that rvath n f crrr rt rtrvattinn which tifi

. r j , their imbithn; men otherie constituted do cot care for any honors which the career of a soldier can offer them. "It is desirable to have soldiers, and if men do not enter the racks of the army voluntarily at i the prefect rate of remuneration and bounties, we mail increase the remuneration and the bounties until they recb a point at which men will enter the ranks. "The occupation of the aolJicr, like every other employment. mut be rewarded in accordance with the nature of the service rendered, and the oanffer incurred by the person rendering it. Tart of this remuneration consists in glory, the rest mut be made up by mosey. We have a number of gun powder manufactories in the country, und, for military purposes, it is as important to have workmen in this occupation as to have men to houlder the mu-ket. Although the bu sine of making guntiowder is connected with a great del of danger, we do not obtain the etnpUjes by conscription. We bid high enough to find men who will volunteer to enter the works and expose themselves for a certain coniiertion to the dangers incident to this occupation." "The same rule holds true in regard to our hospital service. l'bysicuns volunteer fur the portion; they are not drafted for it; and during the past winter the rate of mortality among physicians in some of our hospitals has surpassed that occasioned by the chances: of war. "Therefore, cn every just principle of the divuiou of employment, and even upon the ground of eiual justice, the system of volunteering, as a means of filling the ranks of the army, is infinitely superior to any conscription. IJy the former method we set men who are adapted by physical organization and tastes for the life of a Boldicr. In adoptiug the latter course, we fill the army with men who are in every way unfitted for the life which they have been forced to adopt." Uape Count)' Democratic .Heeling Speech of Judge I'erkln. Pursuant to previous notice, a respectable number of the Democrats of Wayne couuty met at the Court IIoue in Centreville, on Saturday last. t!-Sth inst. On motion, Isaac H . Heard, Es., was se lected President; John Stabler and Joshua Dye were selected as Vice Presidents, and Thomas Wilson and Larkin G. Turner, Secretaries. On motion, a committee of one from each township was appointed by the chair to select nineteen delegates to the Democratic State Con vention, to be held at Indianapolis on the l'Jih of July. The chair appointed the following named gentlemen a? aid committee: Wyne Township James Klder. Abington Anderson Dye. Horton Dennis Druley. Jackson John C. Lutz. Harrison John Kepler. Jefferson Jacob Allen. ew Garden K. ). Turner. Franklin Thomas Wesler. Centre Eleazer Maloue. Dalton, (Jrcen and Perry Townships wet e not represented. The committee was instructed to also report a county committee. After consultation, the committee made the following report of delegates, contingent dele pates and county committee, which was unanimously adopted : Delegates La fe Develin, James Klder, 11. Maloue, E. C. Nudd, John Kepler, Thompson Smith, Johnt Dufhe, Thomas Means. John C. Lutz, Charles Leive, Joshua Dye, Isaac N. Heard, Levi Druley, Jacob Mason, James H. McConnell, Cyrus Keilm. Samson Stevens, Jno. Allen, James White. Contingent Delegates J. II. Moormatm, Geo. Kairesheid, Jacob Dillmun, David Cook, Jehu Hören, Henry Long, Charles Uauer, John Endsley, Jeptha Turner. Daniel It. Stevens, Jacob Urooks, Cornelius Cook, Jr., Michael Swopc, W. S Watt, Dennis Druley, Peter Kepler, James Mt lVrkiui, Fielding (Juar, John F. L&thaw. Central Committee James Elder. John Kepler, John C. Lutz, Thomas Wilson. Elea.or Malone. Win. Tetchell, Andrew F. Scott. A committee consisting of Ele.i.er Maloneand Cyrus Kerliu was appointed to wait on Judge Perkins and ihvite him to adJress the meeting. The Committee, after a short absence, returned with Juige Perkins, who was introduced by the President, and proceeded toaddreslthe Convention. He remarked that before proceeding to his speech he would notice, for a moment, a fact that had just come to his knowledge of the tnot alarming character a fact admitted in an otli cial doenment. He had ju.-t learned that the public treasure of the State was, in fact, in the breeches jncket of Gov. Morton, or in his illegal Bureau ot Finance. The amount that had been held thus during the last year was nearly a million of dollars, and now, thus held, was over two hundred thousand dollars. What was to be doue? Heie the purse and the sword were united. This was the course of all usurers. The Republicans broke up the Legislature nine days before its eipriation the last being the proper days for the passage of appropriation bills and, appropriations not being passed, the Governor refuses t trust the representatives of the people, seizes the public treasure, and without giving any bond, spends it at his will. Thus did C.rsar, Cromwell and others. It was the most painful usurpation he had yet heard of. Morton had, no doubt, done it, thinking it was riirht for him to usurp in time of trouble ; but this was a monstrous doctrine. If so, au Executive had only to get up trouble to enable him to overthrow the Constitution and laws. He trembled when he thought of this usurpation. He had hoped if the general government went overboard, we might save liberty and law in the State. If Morton wa-s not an honest man this fund in his pocket will be a corruption fund spent under the titles of "military expenses," ''cettiug up recruits," Sic, to carry elections. The poor Democratic candidates, this year, will have to run, unless Morton is an hotiet man, against competitor, and Morton's llureau of Fiuance. He exacted to hear soon that every Mayor of a city had seized nil city funds for the same purpose. It is an alarming precedent. He observed that he appeared before us to speak to a democratic meeting. Vet, he could not so speak as a politician or a partisan. Politics he did not study, as such, public speaking was not his trade, and his course of life, for the last eighteen years, had not cultivated partisan feelings. He, as a citizen of Indiana and of the United States, addressed us as citizens, also, of the same bodies politic. He had no nelfih partisan interests to ub-erve, he was ambitious of no political career. Hut he had the personal interest of a few more probable years of existence in this confederacy, and he desired that thev should be years of freedom he did not wish to outlive the liberties of his country, and lie shrank from the thought of leaving thoe who might succeed him to drink of the bitter cup of despotism. There was something sweatt in liberty. He would rather liveio a small free country than in a great despotism. He had rather be a citizen of the little republic of San Marino than a serf of the autocrat of ail the Kusaias. The following were the principal points in his speech: He observed that alter the nomination of LinColt! for the presidency, in bGO, he had spoken to the people of this countv. and hid warned them against his election, and the triumph of the Republican nartv; he then told the people tint that party were diunionists, and would dcstrov the Union. What he then said was published in the papers, and io a pamphlet entitled "Fugitive lieces on tne sectional aar. Ac , to which be begged leave now to refer. He quoted from that speech as follows: "We proceed next to inquire into the objects of thin Republican party. So ar as it is important no to consider them, they may be stated tbas: 1. To excite hostility on the part of the topic uf the North toward their brethren and their institutions Iu the South. "'2. To prevent the surrender of fugitive laves. 3. To exclude the people of the South from settlement upon the public lands, the common property of all the people of the Lniled State. uch, I sav, are their avowed objects. I do not sat that, if Lincolu i elected, thev will be carried out." "I declare to jou that the avowed objects of the Rep ublican party are in violation of the Constitution of the United States;" "and the fjue-tion r.ow arise', what would be the consequences of the triumph of the Hepublicau party in the election of Lincoln? It would not be, practically, a dissolution of the Union; for, though the Republicans would have violated, and tbreateued luither to violate the Constitution, the compict. thus morally absolving the South from ill obligations to adhere to it, vet the Republicans would attempt, bv the superior phvsical force of the North, to crush her into submission, to enduring the ut'ust usurpation, and thea would cotue civil war, the roost terrible, the most desolating ot all others." "I know that the disiKiionists of the South im

agine that by uniting indirectly with the Republicans f shown in the speech to be the disunionists of the North and electing Lincolo, they will secare a justifiable cause of secession, and be allowed to peacefully avail themselves of it; but they will be mistaken." ' I do not wish, by electing violators of the Constitution in the North, to gire the South jut caue for attempted seees-ion. The election of a national man upon a national pisiform, will prevent such a result, and give peace to the country. Such a platform ia that of popular sovereigntv, and such a rain is Stephen A. Douglass," kc. He proceeded: Well, Lincoln was elected elected in November, more than a quarter of a year before be was to be inaugurate!. Daring this interval, and before any State attempted to withdraw from the Union, the South came to Mr. Lincoln and the leading Republicans in the States and in Congress, and akel them if they were going to carry out their thretts of excluding them trora their constitutional rights in the Union; they wanted security, guarantees on that (int. They said that when men's rights were threatened they had a legal riht to security for the peace. They laid as the Republicans refuse to respect the decisions of the Supreme Court, they did not tee anything left for them. They wanted security for three constitutional right: 1. That their laves should be let alone in States where they were. 2. That when they escaped they ahould be returned. 3. That the people of the South should be permitted to settle with them in the common territories. Theae three rights the Supreme Court of the United States bad solemnly decided were theirs under the Constitution. This Lincoln's Judge Advocate admits. The Republicans told them they would give them a guarauty of the first, but they could not of the other two without violating the Chicago platform, and that that was more binding upon them than the Constitution. The refusal of these guarantees was a great moral crime on the part of the Republican party has cost us oceans of blood, billions of treasure, ncd the loi of the Union, if the Republican party is suffixed to remain in power They ousht to have been given, and the war averted. Why, the kings of England, he said, the proud Henrys, were willing to pledge them selves to observe Magna Charta to give confirmations of it. I thought, said the speaker, that peace ought to have been preserved by giring just guarantees. And in a speech before the Democratic club at Indianapolis, in accordance with these views, on the l.'Hb of January, lS'GS, after showing the failure, thns far, of the course which the Republicans had chosen, to restore the Union, he had saul: "You ask what is to done? This is a difficult tjuetion to answer; but I see no better course of action than to top the war for a time; procure an armistice; give t;me for the passions to cool and for the people to reason and to meet in National Convention. Go bick to the starting point. Compel the Abolitionists to do what they ought to have done belore the war was commenced; do justice; put themselves right before High Heaven; offer guarantees; satisfy the South that if she comes back she shall be let alone by the Abolitionists forever; that her rights shall be accorded to her; for let me say that until she is satisfied of this fact she never will return, as she otherwise would only expect to go again through the same series of Abolition persecutions; satisfy her that her interests will be promoted by the Union, and then I believe she will, sooner or later, again unite with us in concord. If she does not, then will it be time, and then shall we be able to adopt a proper course of action toward her." The course of the Democratic party, all the way through, hid been eminently patriotic. It had been this: 1. They bad held that the people of the South were just as much entitled to the rights the Constitution gave them as the North was. and that these rights idiould be given, and the Union thereby preserved, and war averted. 2. That after war commenced, it should have been stopped, as it easily niiirht have been iu the early part of it, by even then giving the South her constitutional rights. 3. That if not stopped by such a just course, it should have been prosecuted in such a manner as, at least, not to increase the distrust of the South in the constitutional faith of the North, and as would soonest end the rebellion. Hut the Administration, a sectional oue, placed in power according to the forms, but not the spirit of the Constitution, and thus having the power and legal right to adopt its own policy, elected to contemn the advice of the Democ racy, and not only to give no Guarantees for observance of these constitutional rights which h id been violated before the war, but even to go further and take away others; in short, to irritate the Suth to the utmost unity, and then tight it to extermination The Democracy, then, had no course left but to acquiesce in that policy and give It, at least, a passive support, or resist it, with no hope of succees. They acquiesced, as good law abiding citizens, in the policy of the Admiuistration, gave it all the men and money it desired, determined, however, to hold it accountable for the result of its policy at the proper time. That time, the time for electing u new Admin istration under the Constitution, had come. That pol iey of the Administration ha J not only been a failure, it had well nigh ruined the na

tion, and now, in a constitutional mode and time, let us huil that Administration Irorn power, and relieve the nation of its blasting inlluence. And here, said thespeiker, the question might justly be asked, why did the Republicans refuse tho guaranty of the second and third rights above named? The South was entitled to them under the Constitution; the Republicans were disregarding them, and threitening to continue to do so; why did they refuse to confirm the constitutional rights of the South? He had no doubt it was premeditatedly done in order to involve the country in war that it might be made the means of abolishing slavery, and perpetuating the Re publicans in power. This was shown bv Chandler's blood letting letter of the 1 1th of February, lb61, and another by Chase, of about the same date, recently published in the Cincinnati Knquirer. He said he wished to proclaim here, and everywhere, that the 'trenyth of the rrbrllitn lay in that refusal. It placed the blood of the slain jointly upon the Republican and rebel skirts. Chandler's letter he read to them thus: Wahinotox. Fob. 11, lf6l. "My Deaj Governor: (overnor Ringham and myself telegraphed you ou Saturday, at the request of Massachus-etts and New York, to send delegates to the l'eace or Compromise Congress They admit that we are right and they wronir; that no Republic in State should have f'ent delegates; but ihey are here and can't get away. Ohio, Indiana, and Rhode Island are coming in, and there is dancer of Illinois, and now they beg us for God's sake to come to their rescue and save the Republican pirtv from rupture. I hope you will send stitVbackrd men, or none. The whole thing was got up against my judgment and advice, and will end in thick smoke. Still, 1 hope as a matter of courtesy to our erring btethren, that you will send the delegates. Truly your friend, V. Chanplkk. His Excellency, Atsn.x Rlair 1.

may be thought arrogant, but I hope Dot, for I feel, and must, yet in humility, say it, that I today hare the satisfaction (the loss of which could b com pen sated by no cold or preeabacks.) of being able to lay my hand upon my heart, and, with the approval of my conscience, aay that I am guiltless of any act or sentiment that has contributed to produce our existing national calam

ities. I have never, as have radical Republi cans, taught that a portion of the Constitution of the United States was not obligatory on me, and should oot be obeyed." And he repeated jut what be sai 1 then, that, though oppose.! tothepolicv of the Administration as, in his judgmeut, suicidal, yet be should not obstruct it. but give it a fair support, as the only policy which the Administration would allow, till we could chance Administrations. Let us chance it. We can't worst ourselves. As Lincoln's election got us into trouble, his de feat might get us cut. He oppo-ed his re election 1. He bad inflicted calamities enough upon the country during one term. 2. He had shown himself incapable. We change incompetent Generals whv not Presi dents? Being wetk, bad men, like Butler, might use him for a usurper if they should conclude to attempt it. 3. Neither he nor his party respected the Constitution of the United States or of the States in time of peace or of war, nor the liberties of the people, and those who did uot respect the Constition are unfit to execute that Constitution. 4. Lincoln's nomination wfs in violation of an established sentiment of this country, acted upon iu peace, iucorporated into our State Constitution, and more necessary to be acted upon in war than peace, viz: That the National and State Executives shall not hold their offices for two consecutive terras. It is by such re elections that corruption is generated and concealed, and in time of war. usurpation! are accomplished. Thus Ca'sar overthrew the Roman Republic in time of civil war. Thus Bonaparte, imitating Ca'?ar, was elected Consul, and in time of war continued and became a usurping Emperor, attempting to establish au hereditary dynasty. Lincoln mav attempt that his son Rob shall succeed him, thus placing us under a Bob-o'-Lins coin. 5. The present Lincolu patty never could successful in puttinz dowu the rebellion and restoring peace to this country , because the South have no confidence in them, and the Almighty teemed to be against them for their wrongs and wickedness; wrong in going into the war before they put themselves right before high heaven, and wick edness in the manner ot prosecuting it. He bad often said that if the Almighty was with Lincoln the rebellion would be crushed. Why has it not been crushed in the long years of the war? It is becaue, as one reason, the Lincoln party was full of unstoned Achans. It is the Achan party. They stone ?ome little Achan, while the big ones roll through the streets in coaches and riot in public treasure. If you wish to find out what an Achan is, read the serenth chapter of Joshua. That tells the storv of the Lincoln party. It U a party full of public and screened plunderers of the nation. The Democrats must etone that whole party out, ii they expect the Union, liberty, or any of the people's property to bo saved. In conclusion he said, the Republican party would never give peace to the country. The South looked upon that party as its hereditary enemy; as the party who had warred upon it and its institutions for more than a generation; who hated it with the venom of an adder, and kept no Constitutional faith with it. G. Mr. Lincoln, by proclaiming that thete never should be peace until the South surrendered up all her persons, property. Constitutional rights, and everything else, had placed himself in a situation where he had no alternative but to annihilate the South or give her her independence if he could not annihilate her even by raising the last man and the last dollar. For his part, he did not see what the last man and the last dollar would be ngliting tor. ile was lor auopting a policy that would bring peace and union betöre that extreme was reached. That could only be done by putting reasonable men in power who had two ideas instead of one; could only be done by changing the Administration. The time was at hand when that could be done, nud liberty, the Constitution and the Union saved, if the people were not already so enslaved that they would yield tho ballot box. Preserve and exercise your right of suffrage, aaid the speaker, and you hold your libetties in your hands. The currency was going down and never would be restored by the fanatical and one-idead Republican party. They would sellout, ruin and kill all the whites to give the glorious privilege of vagrancy to the nigger. The Republicans, he sai l, talk about a united North. They have a uuited North in oue sense, and in another they have not, and will not have as things are at present. They have an acquiescent, united North in obeying laws, however unjust those laws may be, but a morally united North they can never have uutil they take out the unconstitutional, unju.-t portions of their measures und policy. By doing that and planting themselves on the Constitution and justice they can have a morally, actively united North. Force and corruption may make a passive union among those subject to it; never a moral, heart union upon a proposition that contains a greater portion of falsehood thsn of truth. The North, he eaid, ought now tobe united upon the proposition of changing Executives State and natiotial for the solvation of the country. Mr. John C. Lutz offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: lirttdretl. That the thanks of the meeting are hereby tendered to Hon. S. K. Ferkins for his able an J eloquent argument in behalf of the people for their personal liberty, and his expositions of the base usurpations of the National and State Administrations.
