WEEK LI SENTINEL

MO DAY JI NK SO Arwnalt. Tbe Senate Military Committee hare reported a trill fur the erection ol Arsenal for the deposit aod repair of arms at Rock Island, Illinois, Indianapolis, and Columbus, Ohio appropriating $100,000 for each Arsenal. u . A l . Canal. We learn from the New Yoik papers that Charles Bltleb, Esq., of that dtj. and Colonel Thomas Dowlixq, of Indiana, were unanimously re-elected Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal by the bondholders and their proxies, on the 19th of June. Good. A delegation of Senator and Representatives went down to the camp of Gen. MiCllllax the other day to inspect matters and things generally and to give their advice as to the manner of prosecuting the campaign. Our army before Richmond is in front of a wily, sagacious, and perhaps overwhelming fue. At such a crisis a commanding General has no time to pay attention to civilians or to listen to their advice. We are happy to hear that Gen. McClkllan refused to receive them and probably intimated to them that they had better attend to their legitimate duties in Washington. It would have been better still it he had impressed them into the service and compelled them to do the drudgery of camp duty. A Folic-)- Wanted. Senator Trvhbcll, of Illinois, in a speech in the Senate a few days ago, said he wanted the Government to declare a policy in regard to this war before Congress adjourned. So then, according to a leading Republican Senator, we are prosecuting a war of gigantic proportions without a pol'cy. This has been and is the great er ror of this Administiation. If a conservative policy had been announced in the beginning of the war, and strictly adhered to, abjuring all collateral questions which have disquieted the country, with fidelity and strict economy in all public expenditures, ere now we believe the war would have been ended. But corruption and profligacy has marked its progress, combined with vacillation of purpose or rather with no definite object in view. It may not be too late to correct these evils, but the only hope of a restoration of the Union is in placing the direction of affairs with the conservative element of the country or rather in letting that sentiment control its policy. .1 Fallacy. Judge Smith. (Thomas L.) made a speech to a very small crowd m New Albany on Saturday night last, advocating a support of the action and nominations of the 2 -!. of June Convention, upon the ground that their success would restore "the old order of things." Never was there a greater fallacy. The success of that organization is tbe death knell of the Constitution as interpreted by the fathers and the Union as it has been administered since the organization of the Government. All the leading Republican organs and leaders deprecate such a result of the war and they advocate its vigorous prosecution solely with the hope that a new order of things, sympathizing with Abolitionism, will be its end. It they did not anticipate such a re.-ult if they thought the old order of things was to be restored, one and all would oppose the war as unnecessary and anti-Christian. The emancipation of the negro and his enfranchisement to an equality with the white race is the dream and prayer of the Abolitionists, and if these objects are not to be attained by its prosecution, they would be the last to advocate a continuance of the war. The SMvtr Fraud. We learn from oue w ho ought to know the facts in the case, that only $300,000 of the fraud uleut bonds were issued by Stover before he went out of office the balance after that time The Journal stales that "the total amount of fraudulent bonds issued is a little over $2,330,000," so that over two millions were manufactured after Stovek's official term expired. That print also pays the following doubtful compliment to Colonel Hudson, the present Agent of State: "Few men would have dared such a risk as he has for the good of the State, and instead of obloquy and suspicion he deserves credit for his motives, however much we may doubt the prudence of his policy." He discovered the fraui a few days after he went into office, the Journal admits, but for nearly a year he withheld a knowledge of the fraud from the State authorities here, and when he did advise them, they helped him keep the secret near six months. The same authority says that from the moment he learned the fraud, "Governor Mon tox has been the unrelenting, unyielding prose cutor of the guilty parties," but "New York stood between him and his purpose, and he could do nothing but bide her will." Submissive, very. An exposure of the fraud, too, would have given the guilty parties, it is said, an opportunity to escape. They didn't attempt to escape, though, when the fraud was exposed, and if Governor Morton was not an officer of New York, any citizen can file a complaint with a magistrate, which he is bonnd to take notice of. The fact is, an arrangement was made with Stover that the matter should be kept a "State secret" if he redeemed the outstanding fraudulent bonds, and if that agreement had been complied with by him and his confederates, the outside world would never have been enlightened about the transactions in the State Agency office. sec ret Political Organization. In the lnh of June Convention a letter was read frön the Hon. James Highes, addressed to His Excellency Governor Mortox, in which it was plainly intimated that secret politic 1 societies were being organized for disloyal purposes. With an affectation of magesterial dignity. His Etcellency cautioned the members of said organizations, as well as the rest of mankind, to beware of the consequences of such alliances. We are now, as we ever have been, opposed to all secret political societies. However laudable may be the object in forming them, they are generally perverted to improper uses. More than this, they are opposed to the spirit of our institutions. The intimation of Judge Highes as to the existence of such associations may be true. We ha e been ih ed that there wnf one in this city some year or more ago, and it may vet be existence, a sort of committee of vigilance, the object of which was to enforce every one to be lieve in the immaculacy of the Chicago platform. In some portions of the State citizen have been persecuted for opinion' sake, while discharging Terr duty to the Government He should not be surprised if such proscriptions should develop organizations lor the conservation of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and which the public authorities, either through design or impotence, have failed to secure to the citizen. In this connection, we call attention to a communi tion in to day's paper from James 8 Hester, Esq. in reference to Judge Highes' giving out. He, in behalf of the people of Brown county, inrites the State authorities to appoint a commission to investigate the matter, so far as they are concerned, offering to pay the expenses incurred in so doing. We hope the offer will be accepted, and that the Governor will appoint upon it rampant Republican Know Nothings (we meauxmemhrs of that famous order) to investigate the affair, so that the people may know whether secret political associations exist in Inch , and if" so, the character awl object thereof

Their investigations should not be confined to Brown county, but a roving comm.ssion put in j their pockets, to go wherever they can hear of the i existence of any secret political society. If they can find one, we would suggest that they be initia- I

ted into the order, so that they may fully understand all its mysteries. We trust the Governor will accede to tbe proposition, so that the excited i magi nations of himself and Judge Highes about se cret attempts upon the peace and dignity of Indiana and themselves may be quirted. It is im portant that the digestion of these distinguished gentlemen who are laboring under the hallucina

tion that all t he patriotism and all the wisdom of the guilty parties." was made with the same qualth'is good commonwealth is concentrated in them, j incation. We teere advised bv Messrs Rose and

should not be disturbed by any fears of secret plots. They should be relieved speedily so that they may sip their wine and sleep in peace. A Fiction. General Pope is in Washington. Is is stated that he regards the campaign in the West as virtually at an end. and that the story of his having taken ten thousand prisoners is a pure fiction, and was never telegraphed by him or Generaj Halleck. Such a dispatch was, however, published as coming from the latter. I lie Tax llill. We will publish the new tax law complete, a soon as we receive an official copy, with the corrections made in accordance with the amendments fixed upon by the Conference Committee of the two Houses. Until then no coriect copy of the law can be published and an incomplete publication would only mislead the reader. Mu ll county. A Democratic Union County Convention will be held at Shelbyville on Saturday. July 25th, to nominate candidates for county officers. All are invited to participate who ore in favor of preserving the Constitution as it is and restoring the Union as it was in favor of a short and vigorous prosecution of the war to this end, and helieve it should be prosecuted for this purpose alone. Against Confiscation. Set-ator Urowxing, of Illinois, has made a speech against any confiscation whatever, representing the conservative elements. It is reported tl&t he represents the views of the President, who j will veto the confiscation bill if it passes. All the I proposed confiscation bills offered in Congress are ! but another name for bills for the abolition of 1 slavery. We will see how honest a liepublican j Congtess and President ate in their de larations i that thev do not intend to interfere with slavery iu the States where it exists. Secret Political Societies. The Journal, in an article of yesterday's issue, with unexpected candor, admits the following facts: 1. That secret political societies exist, but that they are exclusively of Republican origin: 2. That the objects of such associations are the overthrow of the Constitution s it is. and the Union as it was. and a reorganization of the Government upon an abolition b isi: ft That although the purposes ot these organ ! zations are disloval, known to the editor of the ! Journal to be such, yet there is no fear of their being disturbed as long as the Government is in its present hands. 4. That the editor of the Journal is a member of this secret order, fully initiated into all its mysteries and objects, and that he is doing all that he can to extend it. We hope the people of Indiana, soldiers and, civilians, who are doing all in their power to re store the Union and the supremacy of the Constitution, will not forget the machinations of the leading Republican organ to defeat these beneficent purposes. sisrninj; a Libel." Under the aboxe caption, the Journal of yesterday crowds in a column mote downright lies than we thought even the habitual falsifier of that print could be guilty of. "Col. D. i. Rose and Joiix F. Kibbv' did meet us in the stie t the morning of its publication and asked us to give the name of the author of the letter from NewYork signed "G. U ," but beyond that the state 1 ment of the Journal is untrue. We refused to give the name of the author until we had con suited with a friend of his here Uon the pro p1 etv of our so doing without his consent. Upon o ..sJtation we concluded not to do it. We did not do it. We assumel the responsibility of the letter to Mr. Kibby, and he stated that he did not desire us to do so in a "Southern sense " They (Messrs. Rose and Kibbv; did not call two hours after their first visit they did not call at five o'clock they did not return at the end of an hour from that lime j they did not demand an "unconditional retraci tion'' of the statements of our correspondent, i and no such retraction was given. At the re i quest of Judge Rat, who did not desire his name to appear he did not write us letter up n j the subject we made a correction, so tar as his ; father was concerned, to which we will herealter ; allude. We called upon Messrs. Kibbv and Rose, about five o'clock and declined to give the E name of the author. At that interview we told them that from certaiu explanations made to us by Judge Ray we were satisfied our correspondent erred instating Gov. Mortox received certain attentions, such as wining, yachting, &c, from the Ne York brokers identified with the fraud after that rascality had come to his knowledge, There is no retraction ot the material facts charg ed upon Governor Mortox by our correspondent, iu our correction, but on the other hand, a reiter ation of the same. This anybody with a thimble full of brains can see. Now, then, for the proof. Here is what out correspondent said, writing from New York: So, too, it is here stated, as common informa tion, tint when Gov. Morton came on. some months ago, when the Loan Commissioners discovered and u lied him of the fraud, he was arious for public proceedings; but that, directly after, be was seen with those brokers engaged in the swui'lle, quattlng wine at trie rillh Ave. .10 botet rding upon the water in yachts, and about the streets of the city in equipage as splendid as that iu which, by the gratuity of grateful ap pointees and contractors, he rolls in state through the streets of Indianapolis, and that before he ; left the city he was for keeping the affair a State I secret, and actually urged our Loan Cimmis I sioners to put the bonds they had for sale into the hands of those very brokers, wl icii they refused ! to do. I hud this I. .st fact from a geutlem in i who toid me he had it from the mouth of Hon. dames Jd. nay, ana i reier you to mm lor its truth It can be proved, I jjuess, in this citv. in any court ot justice. Now here is what the Journal pronounces to I be an "unconditional retraction of the statements of our correspondent:" GOT. MORTOX CORRECT IO. In the letter of our correspondent, "G. H ," j from New York city, published in yesterday's Sentinel, he states that Ja hips M Ray. Lsq , in tormed a gentleman that Guv. Morton, after the discovery by him of the Stover swindle, "actu ally urged our Loan Commissioners to put the bonds they had for sale into the hands of these very brokers." We are sati.sfied, upon inquiry, that our correspondent is mistaken in giving James M Ray, K-q , as authority for this suiem; nt, and we therefore at once make the proper correction Mr Ray' ta ement, an made to others is in di rect conflict with this reported statement of his remarks, and, upon inquiry, ire are advised that Gor. Morton, since the fraud came to hia knowl--i i- ',ii hi ' in tn li ii i-a Ik hi or inten ourse whatever with any party implicated" nud that he has never direc-ly or indiiectly counselled or suggested a postponement of the proseeutiou of the guilty parties; but, on tbe contrary, he has, from the moment the same csme to his knowledge, urged an immediate prosecution. That "correction" was written down to the by Judge Rat, the balance by Mr. Kmc. after a consultation with Governor Moston. Now.

there is no retraction of the statements of our correspondent in regard to the attentions of the brokers to Governor Morton, nor to the fact that he "actually urged our Loan Commissioners to put the bonds thev had tor sale in th hands

of those very brokers" connected with the swindle, but simply a correction as to the time. We say "since the fraud came to bis knowledge Governor Morton has no communication or intercourse" with them, murk ye, as "tre are advised." And the correction that Gov. Morton "has never directly nor indirectly counseled or suggested a postponement of the prosecution of Kibby that such was the case, and upon their authority and assurance, as the representatives of Governor Mor-iox. we allowed him the benefit of his own statement through our columns. So ! much about "signing a libel." We gave Gov- ; ernor Mortox, through his representatives, the j opportunity to say that he never had the inter -', course with the brokers as stated by our Corres pondent, offering to publish it, but he did not think it best to take advantage of our kindness. We have made it a rule of our editorial life to correct any personal misrepresentations we may make. Nothing is ever gained by persisting in erroneous statements. The Journal has neither the generosity or manliness to do common justice to an opponent. "I declare it upon ui v responsibiltv as a Sena tor of the United States, that the liberties of this country are in great danger to day from the corruptions and from the proflicacy practiced in the various departments ot the Government than Jiey are from the open enemy in the field." So said John P Hale a short time ago in the Senate. Thelfthof June Convention had not a word of rebuke against the extraordinary profligacy and corruptions developed by Republican Congressional committees, and even the President, in a special message to Congress, excused and assumed the responsibility of them. And today it is published that another Republican Senator is up to his elliows in the corruption fund. When such corruptions are tolerated by a large party a ruling partv may not e erv good citizen fear that the liberties of the country are in danger from that source? Abolitionism opposed to the I mon. The spirit and puipose of abolitiotiits is the same to day that it ever was. It has always been opposed to the Union always seeking to break it up. At a meeting of these disloyalists in NewYork, in 1859, they enunciated the following sentiments; Wheueas, The dissolution of the present and isjMTÜM and inglorious Union between the free and slave States would result in the overthrow of slavery, and the consequent formation of a more perfect and glorious Union without the incubus of slavery; therefore Resolved, That we invite a free correspondence with the disunionists of the South, in order to devise the most suitable way and means to secure the consummation "so devoutly to lie wished." 1 "e.v W0UIJ announce inese sentiments now j,,st as boldly, did they not expect to crowd the Administration into making this war a war of emancipation and equality to the negro, whatever e consequence niie.it be to the white man or this Government of w hite men. It row n fount) Secret Political rganizaiion .. En Sextixel: Recent newspaper publications charge that there is a secret political organization in Brown county, Ind, whose purpose it is to oppose forcibly the collection of taxes to support the war again-l the rebels of the South; and my n ime. 1 am informed, is used in that connection iu private conversations. 1 do not believe there are two men in Brown county who are not in favor of prosecuting the war to the putting down of the icbellion, anil who will n t cheerfully, if able, pay all taxes assessed against them by authority of law to pay the expenses incident to the war, or necessary to its vigorous prosecution. Iam instructed by citizens from all parts of the county to invite the appointment of a com mission of competent gentlemen, by Gov. Morton, to visit this county and examine, under oath, its citizens; and all legitimate expense for that purpose will be footed by our citizens. So far as I am concerned, on all occasions, I have, when expressing any opinion at all on the subject, warmly urged that every citizen owed allegiance to the Government, no matter who was in authority; that we must submit to the verdict of the ballot box; that every remedy for what we might consider a political grievance must be sought there; that it was as much the duty of Democrats to help put down this rebellion, as Republicans; that in the struggle to preserve the Union against the machinations of Southern traitors, there should be no distinction of party; that any combination or organization to resist the collection of taxes, or any law of competent au thority.or to oppose the putting down of any armed resistance to the author ty of the General Government, no muter what party is iu power, was treasonable, and should be denounced by all good citizens. Time and agair, before and since this war broke out, by public speeches, by newspaper articles, and resolutions introduced and passed in political meet ngs in this county, I have announced and strenuously urged these propositions as the true exponents of the duty of the citizen in this and ottier similar crises. Whoever reports me otherw ise, is a base liar. These sentiments I have urged in what have been styled strong secession neighborhoods within the last ten days, I have denounced all measures for the abolition of slavery as interfering with the due prose, ution of, and tending very much to pro tract the war, and 1 expect to continue in that course, whenever that matter comes up in my presence for discus-ion. Ovti four hundred soldiers from Brown county, j four fifths of whom are Democrats, now in the field fighting for the stars and stripes, ought to be I evidence of her loyalty; and if more is wanted, they are readv, no matter who is Piesideutor who is iu authouty. Hut the Democrncv of Brown respectfully ask i the small boon id' voting for such ticket ut the i ballot-iMix as suits them. The sequel will prove j that thev are law abiding, peaceable, ami loyal to j their countn's flag. James S. Hester. June 22, lf62. The Tax Rill The .Tlachinery for Collecting: the Taxes. Every one will be interested iu it in some way, eiti er as a lax-payer or office seeker, or a political economi-t. To carry the act into effect a small army of officers will be appointed, over whom a Commissioner of Internal Revenue will be placet!. The salary of tins official i fixed at $4,000 per an j um. The officers under Iiis direction, and their duties, will be. in brief, as follows: First A collector for each colle-tion district, to be appointed by the President, with the con ! sent of the Senate, whose duties will be to colJect for the Government the taxes to be paid in ( said district. The compensation for his services i in the form Oi commissions on the amounts collected. I Second An assessor for each assessment dis trict, to be also appointed by the President. whose duty it will be to lurnish the co lector with a list of the persons to be taxed and the articles oil which the taxes are levied. His salary is to be three dollars per diem when etigaged in preparation, and five dollars when in the actual performance of his duties as assessor. He is also to receive a commission of one dollar for each hundred names on the tax list. Third Deputv collectors, to be appointed and paid by collectors. Their duties are to be to act as assistants. Fourth Assistant assessors, to lie appointed by assessors. Their snlary is fixed at three dot Inrs per day, in addition to which they will receive the same commission as assessors. Fifth lnstectors of liquors, Ac, tobe appointed by collectors, whose duties will be to measure and examine the proof of liquors removed for sale, for which they are to receive fees from the owner thereof, the extent of which is to be fixed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The officers above classified are to carry into effect the provisions of the bill, and are tobe held strictly accountable for their actions. Collectors, through whose hands must pass very large - urns of money, will be required 'to give heavy bonds for an honest performance ot their duties. In ome districts it is probable that bonds to the extent ot $200.01)0 or t-'iOO.OOO will be required. N.Y.

Exclusion of g-rne In Illinois -What it .Means. Whatever may be the fate of the new Constitution of Illinois, u is quite certain that the article prohibiting negroes ol other Slates from settling in that, which was submitted to a vote sep arate from the main portion of the inslrumen', has been adopted by a very large majotitv of the people of the State. Even Chicago. -which i.i past years has been so ready to get up mobs to rescue fugitive slaves, voted four to one iu favor of excluding negroes of other States from residence in Illinois. We must confess that constitutional and legislative provisions of this character do not strike us favorably, and they can not be del'enued on principles cd' philanthropy and humanity. It seems harsh to say to a people whose ancestors came to the country not from choice but to gratify the cupidity of the white mm, that they shall not cross from one State into another under pain of beirg cast into jail and treated as criminals We do not believe the people of any State would engraft such a provision upon their organic law out of a blind and unreasonable hatred of the black man. But the fact that the people of several socalled "free" States have adopted such measures, goes to show that in the opinion of the voters there was good reason for such action. What was that reason? We are bound to infer that it was a determination on their part to pre serve their resective States from a large negro immigration, and the commingling of the races in the same cities, towns, villages and neighbor-

hoods, the evils of which none are so blind us run down fugitives not "owing service" to not to see. There are thousands of persons who, wretches who hate their country. White traitors while they treat the negro civilly, and are desir will not much longer be permitted to hold black ous that he shall be protected in all his just ! loyalists as slaves. And because President Linrights, are inflexibly opposed to an increase, by coin does not oppose this restoration ot the re immigration, ot that species of population. I public to health and reason, he is threatened with They do not want their children in youth to en j the desertion of a snail paced crew, the conserter the same schools with negroes, or, when they vative Republicans who never stood up manbecome older, to work by their side in the shop fully for any cause, and never will. or the field. Thev believe that such contact And because the President has not

would have the effect, not of elevating the negro, but ol degrading the white man. Hence they desire their exclusion. This, we doubt not, is the true reason why the people ol" Illinois have just voted, as did the people of Indiana twelve years ago, for the ex elusion of negroes and mulattoes from their State. In so voting, the people of Illinois have, of course, decided, with equal emphasis, against the schemes of emancipation, alias "confiscation," which have been agitated in Congress; for we do not believe the people of our sister State could be guilty of the inhumanity of favoring the giving of nominal "freedom" to several million black men, and in the same breath tell them that if they set foot on the free soil of Illinois, they will be tlnut into prison, and treated, not as slaves, but as culprits, to be punished for crime the crime of coming among a people whose Representatives in Congress had voted them their "liberty." To suppose that the people of Illinois would favor the enfranchisement of the "slaves of rebels" and then refuse these enfranchised sons and daughters of Africa a resting place on their rich and boundless prairies or a retreat w ithin their vast w ildernoses, would be to suppose them capable of the grossest and must shocking hypocrisy But they are not hypocrites. What the people of Illinois mean by their vote of Tuesday is that they are opposed to disturbing the present relations of the raves North or South. They are in favor of allowing compelling, perhaps, would be the better word Kentucky and Missouri to keep their negroes, and Illinois will keep hers. This can be the onlv meaning of the verdict of the people of cur sifter State. None know bet ter than they i.hat if the slaves ot the South are liberated bv act of Congress, large numbers : of them, as a natural and necessary consequence, would come to the border States of the North. And If they are so liberated bv the vote ol the Congressmen of Indiana and Illinois, the people of these States could not drive back the dusky immigration. Thev would coine desnitc uonstitutioual prohibitions and legislative enactments, - V .1 .llorc Work for Hie i mini States Senate As the Senate has already distinguished itself bv ordering an investigation into the action of General Banks iu allowing a little negro boy to ride on an army wagon, and another investigation, culminating in an official correspondence iy re Irani , tl. fiuk ivl.v I tl ! i 1 ' i ! i i 1 1 ilf.l not use the little house of General Lee (which holds only about ten people packed) as v military hospital, and. as these subjects are now prettv thoroughly exhausted, we suggest to Senator Wade and Company that a committee be appointed to inquire whether General M.'Clell.in uses the noble, loyal, intelligent negroes of Virginia to black his boots, wash his dirty shirts and cook his victuals. It General McClellau is guilty of thus infringing upon the rights of the negroes on account ot a silly idea that a white man is as good as a b'ack . Secretary Stanton should immediately issue a bulletin upon the subject, in his usual styleand with his characteristic energy. The astute Chairman of the Militarv Committee; Gov. Andiew, of Massachusetts; the Secretary of War and other dignitaries should then write letters about it, and General McClellau should be in- ; stantly deprived of his command, and some Genj era I appointed who, though ignorant of military science, is so sound on the Abolit on goose that he will not only black his own boots and wash his own shirts, but will also black the boots and wash the shirts of all aristocratic contrabands who may do him the honor to come within his lines. Will the Senate please attend to this matter immediately and not defer it on accouut of any trouble it may cause General McClellan, who, of course, has nothing to do but to answer silly let ters, or on account of anv public business, which, iu comparison with the negroes, is, like poor Toots, "of no consequent-"?" N. Y. Herald. Levying Black Tluil. Unfaithful husbands in New York arc liable to be called on for unlimited amounts of money, unless the following is a bogus item by au imaginary Gotham reporter: A man who at present calls himself Dr. B. Coffin, was taken into custody upon the serious charge of having obtained over $6.000 from numbers of respectable gentlemen in the uper part of the city, by means of falsely personating a wo man, and in that capacity writing notes to cer tain wealthy gentlemen in eood standing in society in this city. His style was to write a very neat, and (as to stile and penmanship) a very lady-like note to several hundreds of married gentlemen, ami at the conclusion of the missive he invariably signed his name, "Mis Ellen Eyre." bout $6,000 in cash have in this way been obtained by the aforesaid Ellen tyre by way of "hush money." The project of the swindle was to appoint a meeting at some time in the evening with the gentleman whom lie addresser1, ami il the proposition was accepted ami the parties met, he took it upon himself to make his own terms, with the threat tli.it lie would give to the gentleman's wife a full account ot the interview, unless the terms were complied with. In many cases this threat hud the desired effect and the husband was compelled to give a large sum to have the matter kept quiet. Kfferls of Republican Utile. Republic.:, rule in all the Northern States has been a rule of profligacy and corruption. The special committee appointed by the Legislature of Wisconsin to investigate the expenditures of the State on account of i he war, under a report at the late extra session, in which they show that $500,000 has been squandered, wasted and stolen by these precious patriots who were so loudmouthed in their pretended support ol the Government. The patriotism of these swindlers all over the land is just as deep as they can run their arms into the plunder, and no more. When the Democrats of this State elect a new set ot State officers next fall, and a thorough ex animation is made into exeiiditures, we fully expect to see some developments made that wiil astonish our citizens. The Republicans evidently are afraid of this and are attempting to suppress examination by keeping the present State officers in their places. The better to accomplish this, and keep the facts from the people, thev have disbanded their party and come out under a new name Union men hoping to inveigle a sufficient number of Democrats to ensure sue t ess. If the Union party is, as pretended, a new par ty, ignoring all past party divisions, it seems sin gular that it should nominate all the Republican officers. There is a mystery about this that may well awaken suspicion. Fort Wayne Sentinel. Rlenker's Hrifrade In ihe Rattle of Crom Keys. It is claimed General Blenker saved General Fremont's corps at the battle of Cross Keys from being outflanked by Jackson. It is charged that since the arriral of General Schurx intrigues against General Blenker had been set on foot. Blenker and his Generals and officers threaten to resign, if Schurz should be assigned to the best German brigade. It is siiid that the President expressed a desire that this should be done for Schurz. The order given to General Stahel at the battle of Cross Keys is construed an a slight to Blenker, who was with his second brigade iu the rear, and was not informed of the movement. At noon Stahel's brigade had been nearly cut to pieces. Blenker, hearing of the rout, appeared on the field without order from Frem ml, who is

said to have appeared quite lewildered. He threw forward his third brigade to step the rebels pursuing Stahel, and placed batteries in position where whole regiments of rebels could be fired on. Towards four o'clock P. M. the enemy was falling back, as Blenker had brought the second brigade in position. It would have been an MST matter to beat Jackson, as his troops were utterly exhausted, had not Fremont peremptorily ordered him to fall back immediately, and leave the battlefield, with our dead and wounded iu the possession ol the enemy. Fremont has not even mentioned in his dispatches the name of Blenker, who was in the thickest of the battle, though the latter, by this unauthorized advance, is said to have saved the army. General Blenker threatens to resign if the Government does not do him justice, and his officers threaten to do the same. N. Y. Herald. History of Tlr. Lincoln with Emendations. The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday has a resume of some of the acts of the President, from which we extract the following prominent items, over which its editor gloats with great satisfaction: "He did not veto the District emancipation bill. He did recommend freedom to the bonier slave States. He did overrule the barbarous order of Gov. Stanley. He has not stood up against the ideas of the age. He signed the bill prohibiting slavery lorever in all the Territories. Rebels will be compelled to pay for the luxurv of

rebelling, union soldiers cannot now be used to i kept pace with the associates of this good-for nothing laggard, he is threatened with the defection of the "conservative element;" as if the hindmost camp followers of a great and viclo rious army, too lazy to keep up with the conquering columns, should threaten to turn back unless the commander ordered a halt! The attachment ot such men is a misfortune while it lasts." DisHsed to aid the Tribune in its historical efforts, we suggest that there are some actsol the subject ot his ske'eh which he has omitted, for instance, about a fugitive slave law, Mr. Lincoln in a public speech in August, ibbri, said: "1 have never hesitated to say, and I do not now hesitate to say, that I think, under the Con stitution of the United States, the eople of the Southern States are entitled to a Congiessioaml fugitive slave law. Having said that, I have had nothing to say in regard to the existing fugitive slave law, further than that 1 think it should have been trained so as to be free from some of the objections that pertain to it, without lessening its efficiency. And inasmuch as we are not now in an agitation in regard to an alteration or modifi cation of that law, 1 would not be the mau to introduce it as a new subject of agitation upou the general question of slav ry." In relation to the "barbarous order of Governor ' Stanly," which the Tribune praises the President for revoking, Mr. Lincoln, in October, lt54,said, in a public speech in Peoria, iu commenting on slavery: "I trust I understand and trulv estimate the ' right of seif government. My faith in the prop osition that each man should do nreciselv as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own, lies at the foundation ol the sene of justice there is in me. I extend the principle to communities of men, as well as to individuals. I so extend it because it is politically wise iu saving us from broils about matters hich do uot concern us. Here, or at Washington, I would not trcuble tnyseit with the oyster laws ot Virginia, or the cranberry laws of Indiana." The regulation of schools are purely local and municipal, and iu regard to these, Mr. Lincoln, in 154, would not interfere in either slave or free States. Gov Stanly so uuuerstood him, hence his "barbarous order." Here is another quotation from the same l lie (Judge Dou,'la- jujf 'hat when it was in contemplation for tnwBblonies to break off from Gi eat Britain and set up a new Government for themselves, several of the Stites instructed o?! !& f? 5 each State should be allowed to regulate its do mestic concerns in its own way. 1 do not quote; but tills in substance. This was right. 1 see nothing objectionable in it. I also think it probable that it had some reference to Ihe existence of slavery among them. I will uot denv that it had." Now, whatever may have been thought about what should be done with fugitive slaves, there certainly could be no doubt about schools iu the South being "domestic concerns." In regard to the "snail pace" of the conservative Republicans in opposition to the President's views on slavery, we quote the following from a speech delivered by him in UH, at Coluuibus: "The chief and real puipose of the Republican party is eminently conservative. It proposes nothing save and except to restore this Government to its original tone in regard to this element ot slavery , and there to miintainit, looking lor no other change in reference to it. than that wh.ch the orig nal trainers of the Government exjiected and looked forward to." "I have no parpNg directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution ofslavery in the States where it exists. 1 believe I have no lawful right to do so." Again, in a speoch iu Cincinnati, in the fall of 1859, he said: "I believe we have no power under the Constitution of the United States, or rather under the form of Government under which we live, to interfere with the institution of slavery, or any other of the institutions of our sister States, be they Irce or slave States. I declared then referring to a previous speech and I re declare, that 1 have as little inclination to interfere with the institution ot slavery, where it now exists, through the instrumentality of the General Gov eminent, or any other instrumentality, as I believe we have no power to do so." In addressing Kentucki ins, who about the same time waited ou him as a deputation, if we do not mistake, he said, among other things, in regard to slavery: "We mean to leave you alone, and in no way to interfere with your institutions; to abide by all and every compromise of the Constitution, and, in a word, coming back to the original proposition, to treat you, so far as degenerated men (if we have degenerated) may according to the examples of those noble fathers Washington, Jefferson and Madison." "I say that we must not interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists, because the Constitution forbids it, and the gen eral welfare does not require us to do so. We must not withhold an efficient fugitive slave law; because the Constitution requires us. as I understand it. not to withhold such a law." On a previous occasion he pledged h:mse'.f t not "war upon this principle." He said: "Applied to Government, this principle would be that the General Government shall do all those things which pertain to it, and all the local Guv eruiuents shall do precisely as they please iu respect to those matters which exclusively concern them. I understand that this Government of the United States, under which we live, is based upon this principle; and 1 am misunderstood if it is supxised that I have any war to make uion that principle." On the 27th of February, 1860 Mr. Lincoln delivered an address on national politics at the Cooper Institute, New York, when he said: "Republican doctrines and declarations are accompanied with a continual protest against any j iiiterlerwuea whatever with your slaves, or with j you i;bout your slaves." And further on: "Mr Jefferson did not mean to say, nor do I, 1 that the power of emancipation is in the Federal Government. He .-poke ot Virginia ; and as to the j power of emancipation, I speak of the slaveholding States only." And still again: "But you will break up the Union rather than submit to a denial of your constitutional rights. That has somewhat a reckless sound; but it ould be palliated, if not fully justified, were we proposing, by the mere force of numbers, to deprive you of some right plainly written down iu the Constitution. But we are proposing no such thing." Here is another remark: "Wrong as we think slavery is, we can yet afford to let it alone where it is, because that much is due to the necessity arising from its actual presence iu the nation." In Ms inaugural address he said: "If by the mere force of numbers, a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution; it certainly would, if such right were a vital one." And after tbe war commenced he suid: "It is now my purpose to pursue the course marked out in the inaugural address.' - Again, in his message to Congress on its assembling in July, 1861, are to be found the following words: "Lest there should be some uneasiness in the minus of candid men as to what will be the course of the Government towards the Southern States , after the rebellion shall have been suppressed, the

executive deems it proper to say it will be his duty then, s ever, to be guided bv the Constitu tion and the laws, and that he will probably have no different understanding of the powers and duties of the Federal Government relatively to the rights of the States and the people und.-r the Constitution than that expressed in the inaugural address. He desires to preserve the Government that it may be admiuistered for all as it was administered bv the men who made it. Loyal citizens everywhere have the right to claim this of their Government, and the Government has no right to withhold it." Over and over again has he said that he was opposed to the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia, unless it should be done gradually, and with the consent of the owners, and upon an honorable basis, recoguizing all the rights of the citizen. All these fac'-s are true, as well as those stated by the Tribune at the opening of these remarks. He has emancipated summarily, and without the consent of owners of the slaves of the District. He has voluntarily introduced the slavery ques tion into Congress. He has proclaimed to the South that they must liberate voluntarily, or it should be done by torce in certain events which were certain to happen. This is the construction put upon it by his party supporters. Let the. Tribune copy the extracts which we have given. Let the entire history go together, and see how it must be viewed by the world. A confiscation bill has passed the House and is now iu the Senate, with a strong probability of passing. Should it be vetoed, the "reserved" power ot the President will become the topic of the day. It is to be hoped that the Union may be restored without recourse to measures which may render the Uuiou worthless. Springfield Repub.
