How this immense force is to be disposed, or for what purpose it is to be raised, the public have as yet not been informed. The people have a right to know if we are to have a military despotism. So long as the Administration was acting on the defensive, we could wish it success ; but if such an immense military force is to be placed at the disposal of a political party, to be used for such purposes as sectional animosity may dictate, we may as well give up all hope for this boasted land of freedom. The times are portent- j ous of evils close upon us. ...., The war-like spirit which was manifested in threats to mob the Democrat office and those who had the boldness to express their views plainly on the existing national troubles, has subsided. "Free Speech " j is lirmly established, and there will prob ably not be another attempt to interfere with the free exercise of it in this locality. If the Democrats everywhere had taken as firm a stand for their rights as they did here, the stopping of raouth3 would not liaTe been talked of so much. A bold stand in defease of our rights will always command respect.

The Legislature, which convened in Indianapolis on the 24th ult., commenced its business very harmoniously. The officers of thw House all Republicans resigned their offices, and in a caucus composed of both parties, it was decided to take au equal number of candidates from eich. The officers chosen were all elected by a unanimous vote, an instance of unanimity of feeling probably never before witnessed in any Legislature. If the entire proceedings are as harmonious as the commencement has been, we may expect to see some good accomplished. Thd people will b glad to know that their Legislators fully realize the responsibility which rests upon their official action, and they will exttnd to them the welcome plaudit due the good and faithful servant.

The Union Ticket. It will be seen that we have changed the Corporation ticket to be voted for next Monday, for reasons which we will briefly state. By way of preface to what follows, we remark that the change was made at the suggestion of s:me of the candidates on the Democratic ticket, and with the consent of a majority of them. Since the bombardment of Ft. Sumter, and the openly expressed determination of

While each of the political parties retain their former opinions on the questions which have heretofore divided them, there a no party, and but very few persons, who attempt to justify the South in her present extraordinary war-like proceedings. In favoring a union, in elections of exclusively local interest, of parties favorable to the maintenance of lhe-.,honor and integrity of the government, and putting it in a state of defense, which will enable it to protect its citizens and repel invasion, we do not renounce any of the principles of the Democratic party, which, according to our belief, has always been a tj . . Thß cen?;mpnt of ihp i j Democracy has ever been for peace, if it could be obtained without dishonor, and irar if forced upon us by our enemies. Xhe people of the seceded States are a unit, almost, in opposition to the government of the United Stales, and spurn everything that tends to compromise or a reconstruction of the Union. They have been making tie most extensive preparations with a view to a war with the United State ; and there is no good reason why the North should aot be placed on a warfooting, that the government may be ready for any emergency that may make such preparalion3 necessary. In order to do that erectuauy unjly of senliment and concert of action aro indispensable ; and . , ., r . . there 13 no better method of giving ex- . . - , TT .. . pression to such Union sentiments than by the ballot-box. We do not wish to be un- , . , . . . . . , 4 cersioou as intimating tnai tue ticket nominated by the Democratic convention was not composed of Union men, but that it being composed exclusively of Democrats, could therefore represent only the sentiments of that party. For these reasons, and the fact that old party lines have deen ignored by the Legislaluro now in session at Indianapolis, and . r th people generally in tli3 local elections r 0 J which have been held within the last few , , ... weeli8'.anJ lhJ8ef ?hlf ar,8 to b ,ielJtho c,l,zeas f lhlS P1;lCa 1,aVe t,,0USht 11 best to run but one ticket, composed of gocd men of all parties. The course is . . tied with the ticket because tney were not . . 3 nominated, they can try their strength rn the independent line. The voters jf the town are acquainted with all the candidates, and know them to be good citizens, honest and capable, and that they will be elected. Advertisers are hereby notified that if j they wish their advertisements discontin ued, they must give ua i.otice, as the change of proprietors will make no difference in the publication of advertisements inserted for on indefinite length of time. The Democrat has now as good a bona fide circulation as it ever had. We have discontinued it to the sponges who never pay the printer or anybody else, knowing thera to be a positive disadvantage to us, and no benefit to our advertisers. We invite our business men, who are not now advertising with U3, to send in their favors, believing that we can benefit each other especially other." Gov. Morton has lately evinced a dipotion to do the ' fair thing" in conferring the appointments at his disposal on men of all parlies, who are in favor of aiding the government to protect the pubinglon, the result f its deliberations might liave been different. He exhibited a dogree of partisanship which surprised even his friends, mm We would suggest to our subscribers the propriety of inducing such of their neighbors as do not now take the Demo chat, to subscribe for it. There never has been a time in the history of the country when it was so essential that the people of the North should be conversant with the A Patriotic Offer. J. W. F. Lanier, of the Banking firm of Lanier, Winslow & Co., Wallstreet, New York, has notified tho Governor of Indiana to draw on him for any amCut not exceeding 825,000 to aid in cquiping the Indi.tnä vcluafterj.

Another Convention. A call has been issued for another Corporation convemion, at the Court House, to-night. We are not informed as to the necessity wuich, in the opinion of the callers, made this move necestary. The gcneial opinion, so far as we have heard an expression, in regard to the Union ticket, is favorable to it; and all commend the spirit which prompted those who were instrumental in forming it. So far a3 relates to the propriety of running a Union ticket, it is only necessary to eay that it was talked over freely among Dem

ocrats and Republicans, for a week or two! als, and public places belonging to the before the issuing of the call for the Union United States, and otherwise assumed the Convention ; and it was understood, from ! powers, duties, and responsibilities of a reliabls authority, that the Democratic j separate and independent government, nominees would withdraw, if a Union tick- j During all this time the people of the North et could be formed.

The bigotry of the Republicans in refusing all compromises, was one f the causes of the present war : and now, shall we stultify ourselves, and the position wo have heretofore occupied. , by refusing to do on a small7 ficale, what we condemn our opponents for not doing on a large scale ? We believe in condemning the doctrines and policy of the Republican pirty on all occasions, but it is more impolitic than valorous to attempt it with a moto in our own eye. oKE'-In the Indiana Legis- " GOOD J lature. a few daya ago. a resolution was introduced to subscribe for the Indianapolis papers, when our Representative.

So long a the telegraphic news is so important, we fthall not devote much space to original matter, knowing that the public is anxious to hear everything connected with the war excitement.

Baltimore, April 23. A spontaneous Union meeting wa3 held tonight in East Baltimore 20,000 attended. Straightout Union speeches wero made. The Stars and Stripes wero unfurled amid great enthusiasm. Steamers now run regularly between here and Perryßvilld, making complete communication with Philadelphia.

The Uprising of the North. During the past six months (remarks the New Yoik Herald) the cotton Stales have been arming themselves against the federal government. South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Te xas have organized a new confederacy and placed themselves in the position of a foreign Power, and a foreign Power upon our immediate frontier. The new confed

eracy ha3 organized an army, made pro visions for a navy as yet without ships or sailors ; issued proposals for ä loan, seized upon and possessed the forts, arseni zen3. ht who have elected whether for a good cause-or not is now out of the argu j raent to place themscl ve in the position of I I enemies, the great Central States have kept j alof ff0m fanaticism on one side and folly ;on tbe other, and have hoped thxt reason might again assert its sway ove"r the ex tremists of both parties.

The conference of the , Council Chamber yesterday between citizens of Louisville and citizens of this place j 1 x 1 111 .1 1- ! was a very pieasani one, anu win, wo mink, 1 be productive of much good. Our Kentuckey friends were much gratified with the proceedings, and especially with the letter of Governor Dennison to Mayor Hatch. That letter, they declared, would be worth thousands of votes to the Union men of Kentuckey. Judge Bullitt, in a strong and eloquent speech, stated the reason why the Union men of Kentucky yielded to the pol i m . t . i. ti IT ncy ot -armeu neutrality. ins iesons satisfied us that it was "armed neu trality' or immediate secession. In the affairs of state, as well as of life, stern principle must sometimes yield to expediency; and had the Union men gone in for supporting the proclamation of the President, Kentuckey would soon have gone owt of the Union. As it is, we are satisfied she jean now be retained. We do not believe j she can ,T0 oul We believe that from the tllQ reports we have daily from aii p;Jrt3 of Kentucky. The withdrawal from the field of Secession candidates to the RorderStat(3 Convention assures us that the Secessionists were satisfied that, with the Unionists siippoiting the "armed neutral itj poi;cyt tiiey themselves would have to go under ! So they wisely withdrew frctn the contest, and theaeby avoided showing their weakness. Cincinnati Enquirer, Annapolis, April 27. Twelve thousand treops altogether have arrived here.

Governor's Mesare.

The crowd upon our columns this morn ing prevents a review of the Message cf the Governor addressed to the Legislature yesterday. He recommends the appropri ation of a million of dollars for the pur chase of arms and munitious of war, and for the organization of such portions ofi lie militia as may bo deemed necessary for the emergency, which it is proposed to borrow by the issue of bonds ; the enactment of an J efficient militarv system : the passage of a j law defining and punishing treason against ihe State and providing for the suspension of laws for the collection of debts against those who may be actively employed in the military service of the State or the United Stales. Thejlatter recommendation is clearly unconstitutional, however generous the proposition may be to those whom it was intended to benefit. We most cordially agree with the Governor, as must every loyal citizen, in the view he takes that is j the imperative duty of Ind., to make suit able preparations for the crisis in which j the country is pl'ced, by providing ample supplies of men and money to insure the protection of the State and the support of the General Government in the prosecution of the contest between it and the successful . termination The issue should be and must be met by vigorous, decided aud prompt policy. In every point of view, such a course is demanded by both public and private interests, and in the end it will be j foun(i lne most economical. A procras ; tinated conteet will be ruinous to the 1 ! country.--State Sentinel. - j Stat0 heQ foaming breakers appeared j ahead.

The Administration have notified Gov. T.tche, on0 ßte of advanfia from Rich nond causo 3 8 edy invasion of J yjrj(ja from the West. Farmers from Virginia have forced the secession lines and report a strong Union feeling a few miles from the Capitol. We kam, from private sources, that the secessionists succeeded in saving 0,000 muskats at Harper's Ferry. On Saturday night the Superintendent ;of the BdUimore ani Ohio Railroad went tn va,xn(rtnn tn not H.a rm,l frnm Holt; raore to Washington open, but met with no success.

The latter item creates great dissatisfaction here, and jt j3 generally doubted. vew York.

Another, who was at Morris Island, says 150 men wero killed there and 40 at Sulliment telativo to the dead being buried at nitrht. They also stato that the negroes enly want their leaders to give tho word, when the slaughter will be terrible. New York, April 33. Special messages sail on the next Kurope;in "steamer to purchaso half a million dollars worth of arms for the State.
