We have the plain issue to make with our opponents, which Congress
has proposed the Censtitutional Amendment and upon them we will triumph gloriously in October. After the adjournment of the National Convention, a portion of the
delegates from the Southern States received and acted upon a report in reference to their own State policy, which looks toward impartial suffrage, but it was not the action of the Convention, and is only a matter of State legislationover which neither Congress or the other States have any control.

Voorhees and his Record of Treason,
"We publish our usual Keligious Intelligence this morning.
We call the attention of our readers to our Commercial columns this mor ning, which will be found full of interest and information. We make this department one of the valuable features of the Journal. There is
not a single paper in the State which devotes one-half the space to commercial intelligence. Our New Harmony correspondent, on the third page, gives the County
Ticket of the Posey Union Convention. 1
George Wolflin, the candidate for the Legislature, is well known to our people, being one of our citizens for many years. All the offices of value were given to soldiers. , The " Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" usually devotes considerable time in his harangues to Government Bonds, taxation, &c. We direct his attention to the extracts which we give in to-day's paper, from the opinions of Chief Justice Marshall, on this subj'ect. Marshall had a reputation as a lawyer, possibly equal to that of Mr. Voorhees.
We publish a list of appointments for Gov. Conrad Bake, in Posey County, commencing 6n the 17th inst. We trust the County and Township Committees will make all necessary arrangements, and see that large crowds are brought out. It is expected that Thos. C. Jaquess, Esq., the Union Candidate for State Senaator, John S. Hopkins, Esq., of this city, candidate for Joint Representative, and the Union candidates of Posey County, will be in attendance at these appointments.
There has been a great sounding W
trumpets over the speech which Dan. Voorhees is announced to deliver here to-day. To all of our citizens, who have paid much attention to political affairs during the past five years, his record is pretty well known, but there are many, who know little of Voorhees, except as one of the Johnson candidates for the United States
Senate, and as a Democratic leader
It will be profitable to ino ire who he
is, and what has been his position in
the past. That he has been a eonsis
tent and Unrelenting opponent of the
uovernment during the war, none of
his own partizans will deny. Like one
of our own local Democratic politicians, he has, during the last five
years, been making his record.
In a speech at Greencastle, in April,
sw, the very month that Fort Sumter
was bred upon, we find him making
the following assertions, to which he
faithfully adhered during the whole war: " I say to you, my constituents, that, as your representative, I will never vote bne dollar, one man or one gun to the Administration of Abraham Lincoln, to make

My Dear Voorhees: I should Uke your private opinion as to the prospect of affairs, so that I may have some basis to go upon. Do you think the Houth have resources enough to keep the Union forces at bay and finally force a recognition oi" their independence, or will Lincoln's army crush them out?

We oould multiply letters, but think hec 3, where it is declared that all
these will suffice. We desire, however, personal property, owned bv ner-
to refer to a letter which we published sons residing within the State some weeks ago. It was written by C. shall be subiect to taxation
C. Play, jr., a noted rebel, from Niag- See also Section 5, on same page, ara Falls, Canada. Julv Hi 1864 to where the terms "
are defined and declared to include
all public stocks, all State stocks, and all stocks of the United States. See also Section 23 on pages 72 and
73, of same volume, where each tax payer is required to give in under
oath the value of all stooks of th
United States.
o. lm luia law ot me estate on
our Statute 5ook, if United States stocks are not actually taxed, is it not
because the State law requiring them
to be taxed is unconstitutional? And
if the State law is unconstitutional
how do you propose to render it con
stitutionai without an amendment of
the Constitution of the United States
And would it not be anti-Democratic to amend the Constitution of the
United States in any respect at this
time?
Fearing that Judge Parrett may,
in his devotion to politics, have for
gotten some of his early law reading.
we call his attention to the unanimous
decision of the Supreme Court of the m-T ... A'
united btates, pronounced as long
ago as the year 1819, in the case of
MeUullough ta. the State of Mary
land; 4th Wheaton: 316.
This case shows that the Legisla
ture of Maryland in 1818 attempted
to tax the issues or notes of the
United States Bank, issued in that
State, by requiring them to bmade on stamped paper, to be procured
from the State officers, and for which a tax was to be paid into the State Treasury, with a proviso that any bank might relieve itself from the
operation of the provisions of the act by paying annually, in advance,
into the State Treasury,$15,000. The opinion of the Court was delivered by Chief Justice Marshall, and in it he used this language, viz:
,"The people of a State give to their gov-
J acob Thompson, who was in Montreal, as the agent of the Confederate Government. In this letter he says he expects " Voorhees to be here on Monday or Tuesday, and perhaps Ben. Wood," and Thompson is urged to meet them, and arrange for certain contemplated movements in the United States. He says " We can boy passes in the United States, and tteo capital slump orators to travel anywhere." There is no doubt from the whole
reading of the letter that Voorhees
was- one of the " capital stump orators" 1- 1 x . , i ,

Judge Parrett on the Stump. The above named gentleman was permitted by the Union men of this
Judicial Circuit to be elected, last year, to the Judgeship, without oppc sition, when he might have been defeated with the understanding that he was not, while in that office, to be an active partisan. Forgetful of this, he recently, dur
ing the term ot the .Ferry Circuit Court, took the stump in favor of the Johnson Copperhead policy, and made a speech relative to the taxation of Government bonds, which would
have done no credit to Sprodle or
Whittlesey. We quote from the
Cannelton Reporter, a Copperhead paper:
The Judge (Parrett) spoke in his usual
eminent a right of taxing themselves and
thoir property, and as the exigencies of the Government cannot be limited, tbey prescribe no limits to the exercise of the right, resting confidently on the interest
or tne legislator, and on the influence oft the constituents over their representatives '
to guard them against its abuse. But the means employed by the Government of the Union have no such security, nor is the right of a State to tax them sustained by the same theory. Those means are not given by the people of a particular State, not given by the Constitution of the Legislature which claims the right to tax them, but by the people of all the states. They are given for all, for the benefit of all; and, upon theory, should be
suuject to me.wovemment only which belongs tq all." y ill' . i - . i . ' " The sovereignty of a State extends to every thing which exists by its own authority, or is introduced by Its permission; but does if extend to those means which are eihployed by Congress to carry ihto execution-powers conferred on them by the people of the United States? We think it demonstrable that it does not. Those
powers are not given by a single State. Tbey are given by the people of the United States to government whose laws, made

Can anything be more dangerous, or more injurious, than the admission of a principle which authorizes every State, and every Corporation in the Union, which possesses the right of taxation, to burden the exercise of this power at their discretion?

tnese extracts trom
the opinions of Chief-Justice Marshall as being good reading for a J udge, who, forgetful of his judicial position, mounts the stump to persuade, the people that a tax should be levied which the supreme law uf the land forbids. If the Judge can overrule the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States, we sug
gest to his political friends that this will be the shortest way to attain their object. There is now a law of Indiana declaring these U. S. bonds
taxable, and all that stands in the
way of their being actually taxed are the numerous decisions of the Supreme Court of the nation declaring
all such laws to be unconstitutional and
void, it judge x arrett can overrule these decisions, he can do what
he proposed to the Demoerafv of
erry County. If he cannot, is he
not guilty of polluting his judicial
ermine, violating his pledge given to abstain from politics, and resorting to the basest tricks of the dema
gogue.' V e hope, for -the good name
of our Judiciary, he may satisfactorily
