TO TUE VOTEliS OF MARSHALL AXV STARKE COUSTIES, f CONCLUDED J Gentlemsn: As late as April lüib, 18ÜI. Mr. Sew. ml. Secretary of S.ale, said iu an oQicltl dispatch lo Mr. Adams, Minister to England: "For these reasons he (the President,) could not be disposed lo reject a cardinal dogma of theirs, (the seceding Slates,) namely, that ilie Federal Government could not leduce the seceding S.a.'es to obedience by c.-ii(iuest, even, ahhougb he was d spose-i to question the proposition; but, in tactile Pivsilent wUHhjhj acrepis it as true only an imperial or despotic Gov et nir.etti could have the liglil to subjugate disHflecld and insurreiMiouary States. The fedeial repulvictu sy -in of ours a of ail loimsof Govet tunen t,tl)-- very most tiuti'ted for such a work." The Hon. M. M. Ray, senator from Shelby County, who iu otic of the aliongest partisan leaders of this new 'Union IVlv fcaid in a speech delivered before the Senate Jan. 17, 1CC1. "Without peace there can be no Union, with armed intervention lor the strict ei. force mem of the laws, and pruieciion of Federal property, there can be no pace. Whoever, then, demands iramedia e military coercion of either one. -iii, or hf teen Southern States, demands disunion demands war, blood and lapiue, demand commercial manufacturing, agricultural, and financial ruin; demands the decay of civilization and religion." And again: "The Uepublh-ans refuse to compromise to save the Union, and we ieI'tue t fight to dissolve it," The lln. Robert Dale Owen, who has held a ' impoiiant position in the sei vice ol ilie Government ever since the rebellion :ooke ou., and is not an especial favoiite 1 litis ut-.w, s.o called Union Party' n an -tinite.p befoie the Legislature Feb. 13. li. lo(J I, said: "Coercion then, let it assume what shape it will, is liist disunion, then war. Coercion, commenced, creases be yond the Ohio, a foreign nation; coetc'oti, males i lie inhabitants beyond thai river, eormies, as we!l as foreigners. Whiln iiieie is peace there h hope, for PKACeis the life ol" the Union." But for want of space I would advert to many more t imilar auihotiltes. It is charged by these falsiliers that I &aid in Indianapolis, "If I had to light, 1 would liht on the side ol ihe South." n anonymous sctibbler staled as much in a communication to the Indianapolis Jour , and as -ooii as the article came to mv knowledge, 1 denounced the author of ii. publicly, in the Legtslaluie. as a falsifier; 1 uever utlere i such language to any per son on earth. Iho other chaiges of my opponent ate so weak and silly as scarcely to de&ene notice. He barges that I wasted the peoples' iiiouev. ib voting 4 a Jay to two Repub ans. i he principal, and first assislau Do-Mkt'fp;r .tj ihn House. I did this iu justice to two mfi) whose; labors wete much iu tie aiduou i an a lot of petty cleik-. wno had beei allowed by a Republican Coiiin.iitee of way ami mean . 84 Dei dav.

Tiiis is done by all Miviou of ilie General Assembly iu uiler to enable the inetnbei lo siid to their consliluenls ihn public documentwhich are prepared by the Sate lor public di-iritjuiion, and this I did without sdinl. 1 voted lor liv copies of the IJievter Leg islative 'ieports to each of the member-, because 1 was wiliini; my couihuen'. hould known what we had ben tiir g in he Legi laiuie. It wa- a pnp iiin -up ported by four fifths ol tin wlnil A ot bly, and one which ha I ptevai'.-tl it. ab j-i vious sessions of iho Geueial A . cwb'.v including that of which my opponent wa a member. Instead of a reckless waste of the peo ple's money, 1 was studiously careful to guai d their finances. It was for this tea son 1 refused to vole away near S5U0 of ihe peoples money for the purpose of pay iug for a grand ovali mi lo Abram Lincoln at Indianapolis, when on his way lo Wash ibg.'in: yet it was doue by iho party in piwei in tin Loishtiure, and all for ihe purpose ot allowing a few old parly hacks the opportunity of supplying the Presi dent elect with wiue, cigars, carriage hit-, marital display fcc. Ac. at the expense : t h Saie. in order to get the dUposal of a few lai offices on them-elves and fiieuds. For t' e same reason I refused lo vote in ih agjjieaie 855.U00 a a contingent fund to the Govenor to be disbursed in such a mantter as U excellency thai! deem best. For the 6ame reaion I refused to vole a $75001) loan of iho children School mon ey without efficient guarantees that the inI a... t amt nritwinnl term Id avtir a no 5 I . r , , . .

which was loosely drawn and unguarded: which was puiiiug into the hands of a lew men the authority for borrowing and dis bursing that amount of rnoDey without sufficient security for ihe discharge of their duties and a .sufficient reason 6hown foi the necessity of sucii a measure. Finally, my Fellow Citizens, with the solemn pledge that, should I be elected, 1 will vote for no man for U. S. Senator who is not an "Unconditional Union man, T' and that I will ue my best efforts in the general a-sembly to ee.uie a complete and thorough investigation of ihe manner in v hieb the Kxecutiv of the State, and his associates, have disbursed the large amount of funds placed in their hands by the Legislature, and wirb the fervent wish of my heart that tin unuy of this government may be re.toied: thai the ei emies of i;-; flat; and consiitu .oi, every hre may be sufpres ed. and thai peaco may once more come wuh heahng in us win-'s to üless this people. I leae yiu, 10 judge by yiur votes, between me aud my unmanly delatners. M. A. O. PACKARD. lcicrulioit or Bit-publican. How desper.tie our opponents h.te be come may be readily seen by observing ii.? manner in which ihey aie every A'heie conducting the campaign Every subier luge, every an ol ihe mos; accomplished and unscrupulous demaovjue is brought into irtpiisuiou by ti em in the vain hope ol letHtning place and power.

The following which we clip from ihe Foil Wavne Times und Union, is only a siu-'le specimen of the clun la;anic aits of such political hacks aud dissembling ny ksieis as Joe Wiighl and D. E. Williamson, the one a Republic at. U. S. Senator, and ih oliicr the Republican candidate for Ailornev General of llns State.

It was not long since, to wit: At the late Congressional Conveniion that the Ue publican name was dropped and the "Ln ion' adopted, without even an acl of leg-i-taiu'e, or au order of Court, hul Saturday it was chiistened Democratic Uni'n, .iikI on ti e 27lh it is be Ui.ion again.

The liepuUican says that A. C. Thompson is going around the country staling that "Dill Shirley is unfit for Auditor" and that he "cannot wiite his name and knws nolhin: at all about figures," Thompson has done no such thing, and even if ho had said that Shirley is not fit for Auditor, he would only have said what is true. We suppose Shirley ran writo, we I. now he can figure some politically; but can he keep a et of b.mks so that any business man can take them and tell at tho end of a year within 8400.00 of how they stand? Can he keep a cash account eo as to make it and the cash cn hand balance properly? We meiely ask for information; pei l.aps Mr. Hewitt can answer.

generally charge Democrats with disloyal- ( j ty because thsy deem it necessary in the present criis to maintain their party or - ganization for the purpose of pieserving the liberties of ihe people. In our opinion there never was a time in the history of this nation when the liberties of ho citii zns, nay even the existence of the Gov ernment i'self was in more danger than at present. We ask our conservative friends without respect to party, to read the following truthful remaiks which we copy from the Albany (New Yoik) Stalesmou a radical Republican paper, and sav if there is not good reason lor lha course now being puisued by ihe Democrats and conser vatives of all parties when ihey ask for a change of ruleis. Rut heat jihe Stutesivan: "Tlteie is a veiv strong ami well defined feeling of dissatisfaction and opposition existing among ihe people with relerence to the present Administration. And with good cause. That Administration has had placed under its conn d resou'ees in men and money, such as no' despot ever possessed. Charlemagne, when he Leid the ecepler of the Western Wotld: Nepoleon, when every throne in Eutope, save those of Russia and England, was in the possession ol his tepresentatives; England, when the sun never set on her dominions, never had al command greater forces ihau awaited the development of Abraham Lincoln's will. Over a million of men stood ready at Iiis call. The money of the nation ran as the golden sit earn of Paotdus lowaiU his UvabUiy. The limits of ihe Constitution wero removed, and he was allowed unquestioned exercise of absolute auihoii lv. Al his ri'ihl hand was the armv, at his left the navy; behind him was the support of twenty million loyal men; before him the enemy. At ihe end of sixteen mouths he returns the army &hal eied, ihe navy id la. the tieasury empty, and the en emv, alter long ami hard sti uggles enga': ed on our veiy borders, li i$ no wouder, but u is right and well thai theie should be dissatisfaction and opposition. We need reform. For the Democrat. The Xo B'aiiy-faily :tsii is.

Now ilie only object I have in wiiting ihisailicle for your paper, is io ask your readers a few plain questions which iheir own judgment will answer mosl conedHas not this pat ty been thoroughly reorganized or revamped by '.he leadeis ol the old Itepttblicau pit1)? ll te not the members of thai party iield their parly ronveniiens as heretofore, foi lha purpose of tiominaiit g their candidates, and iu almost eveiy tu&'ance have ihey not put in nomina ion the daikesl of their old Republican or Abolition leaders, where ihete was the least hope of electing lliem? Does not eveiy renegade Democrat who is placed on heir ticket undersiaed lhal he is lo denounce as biiieilv as he possibly can ihe party he yet pretends in som : instances to belong to? and does ill's not show that he is bought with a pi ice aud that he is not entitled lo ihe confidence of honest men and especially of Demociais? Do not the membeis of this no poly ptny hate ihe Democratic parly worse than ever befoie, if possible, and, are not the Democrats who 'have joined them in iheir Abolition schema ihe only ones tney do not denounce as secessionists anil Iraitois? I will now notice in a brief manner the material of which iheir ticket is composed and (or which ihev are asking the honest voters of this cotiitv lo vote. Is not Schuyler Collax the same Abolition candidate lhal that same Abolition parly has h id in ihis district for eight tears past? aud has he changed his piiuciples, and if ao, has it not bcien from bad to worse? I refer the reader to his Abolition record which he is now attempting to sugar coat throughout this disirict. Is not Dr. Shetman iheir candidate for Slate Senator, the tame Sore head lhal left tho Democratic parly some teuyeats since, because ihe Democracy did nol, on a particulai occasion. eW him as iheir caudidate for liepieseo ative? ai.d has he nol been ever ßince a prominent leader iu th opposition partv. .luring all its changes and is he not an admirer and defender of the notorious Abolition Congressman from the ninth congressional district of ihe Slate of Indiana, Schuyler Colfax? Is not .Umos 0 Parks, thoir candidate
r -.o of U.e iUifr -
. JL1Ci in the whole district he is seeking to repiesent, as well as one cf ihe most dishonest citizens and as unscrupulous ! anJ unprincipled a tu;, si i it-r as ever out raged a community : ii-g:aeeced human kiud, and does not every c: e who knows him at all, know that u is to these detestable trails Df chaiactet lie owes his nom ination at ihe hands of J e Republicans of this district, and will any one doubt for one momeut but what he is just the kind of a man they want lo repiesent them in the State Legislature anil ad vane their traitorous Abolition schemes? He says he has not saciiliced one of his "Republi can principles' and in the next breath says he has 'thrown away pany for the sake of the Union and asks Democrats to sup port hi : as the no party candidate who still retains his abolition dogma3. Such a thing is Parks and if the Abolitionists have a majority, he is just the contempt ible tool ihey ought lo have disgrace them in the Legislature. He is certainly "going iro try for to" be elected, "suf-fis it io say," and if he succeeds he will undoubtedly beagaiupla ced cn the "committee ol education.' Is not W. C. Shirley, the no party' candidate for Auditor, another sore head who went over lo ihe opposition for the purpose of getting office and will not the honest men of tho county whose confidence he is unworthy of, give him lo understand that his tteachery is played out, in political matters? is not Ruius Ueweit their candidate lor Treasurer, one of ihe oldest and firmest opponents, m ihe county to ihe Democratic patty, and does lie not, too, in full endorse, the Abolition Congressman from his district? and did he not believe, only two yeais ago, although a zealous member of ihe church, lhat a vast amount of whiskey peddled on the sly, by Bill Shirley was a good ihing to strengthen the Republican cause? He cei tainly did. Does not Luther Johnson ihe Republican candidate for Shetiil. owe his nomination entirely io the facts that at the battle of Pittsburgh Landing he lost a part of two fingers, and the unfair wire pullin of hs particular friends at the county convention, and was not becau-e he is at all qualified for the discharge of the duties of that office. Is not Jeptha Disher one of the Republican caudid.ies for commissioner as rabid and as ultra as the darkest of ihem, and does he not endorse all the Abolition mea sutes voted tor by the A hoi: ion Ccngiessman from this distiici S b .-y m- CoIfa? Aud finally, is not Is-n.c N. Morris, ihe other candidate for Commit 'ner on the abolition Union ticket, a b: loner of the immortal little abolitionist 'iiuie Greeley? Is he not also the present incumbent, and i he not one of ihe illustrious founders of the 'Marshall County Poor House?' And did he not come very near sacrificing all ihe honor he had iu defending lhat miserable institution, which was a disgrace not only lo ihe County, but io humanity! Ol such maieiial is the bous Union ticket for this vicinity, made up; audi candidly submit it to the honest men of ihe County whether there is anything in it that hould induce them lo support it iu preference lo the Democratic ticket. Can any sane man make anything else out of it but ihe Abolition, disunion party of two years ago? It has certainly only digraced its former name, and lias been comnell eil to assume another appellation, or pre text, lo deceive the people with. Lei them not be trusted farlhei, for Schuyler ''ollax has ceilainly bought niggeic enough for his consliluenls to pay for at present, consideiing ihe other laxes ihey will soon be called upon lo raise, to fill ihe place of the vast amount of treasuie lhat has been stolen since the incoming of the present Administration by ihe vaiious employees and officials ol the government. Schutler has made the last delunse of Fiemont, in Congress, thai the good of the nation requires. Let him stay al home, ami let us send a man in his place who will devote his lime to the interests of his constituents aud no, foi ti e benefit of the negroes in the Southeri. States. Let them all be defeated from the least to tho greatest, and hereafter a white man may be considered at least as good as a nigger, and that he has some lights Con gress should respect. The only hope of our distracted country is in the success of ihe Democratic partv at the comin; elections. If the nation should again be cured wilh a Congress j . , ' "len We du" f Union cause.

ring the War? Is the Constitution suspended during thtf war? That is the question. If it is not. then ihere exists no power in the Presi dent io abrogate constitutional rights of expunge State laws. Many' who profess to be loyal men, and to have closely studied the constitution, gravely assert that what they term military necessity in trare of war is superior to all civel law. The conduct of Geo. Jackson at New Orleans is cited as a precedent, the entire proceedings in connection with his declaration of martial law, --his arrest, trial, and payment of the fine imposed, prove couelusively that in his opinion his declaration of martial lawwas illegal and could only be justified by the vecess'uy of the ciicums ancas attending, it. lie never claimed lo be acting under ihe constitution or in accordance with Iawr but fraokly aoknowledged the proceeding to be in, contravention of both. But even did the coslituiioa admit the declaration of martial law in particular Io calilies in times of fearful peril, will it be claimed that it can be extended over a whole country? . Wh.;i is martial Iawr but the substitution of military over civil authority? If it can be extended over lbs whole country, cannot Congress tx K.rbidden to meet and legislate, and cannot eve ry department of government. State and National, be set aside by a simple procla mation from the Piesideut, and continue suspended at bis will? Under this doc trine the Paesident not the constitution or the sever d departments of goverament organized under its authority is supreme. This military authority and military neces sity, of which we hear so much, is either limiteness or it is restricted. If it be un limited in its power duting war, then tho Presilent as Commander in Cnief is Em Deror- Ills decrees are ausoiuie. li u is m restricted, where shall we look for th bound of its authority? In the constitution? Is there anv au.hotitv in this gov ernment elsewheie? It is said the cus:ittttion does not provide for the mvd bt which war 6haHbe cotji'u' ted that our armies appropriate private property to pub lie use lhat spies are hung, deserters -hot suspeced traitois artes.ed, and the 'redoui of the press muzzled, bv mili aty au ihori y , justified by necessity, all of which mould be unlawful in 'ime of peace. Con gress has ihe power by ihe oustituiior: "to declate waj'T and "to Mi'Ze mtes J or the yoverhhwnt und regulation of ihe load and naval forces. ' Under the provisions of the Constitution ihe entire Jisposel of oar ar. mies is under Congtess. It must provide for the iuctease or decreass and pa meal of our aimies, and, if it chooser to to do. can duect the plan and put pose of a cam paign, and the President as Commanderin chief of tho array, is under its direlion. The power ihtis conferred. Congress has as far as conducting a cunpaigi is con cerned, seen proper to exercise; but i is unquestionable lhat the war making power is vested in Congress, and the President is Mmply the executive of i t? will If Congress should diiect the withdrawal of ih troops from a particular State, or Ter lory, or their advance therein, the President would not be at liberty to disobey the command. That ihe details of a cara;aign are left to the President and his military suboidtnates is for the simple reason that theie must be concentration of authority as well as of troops to success fully condnd a war. Congress has power to "giant letters of marque and teprisal and make rules concerning captuies on land and water." Iu auihotity is complete iu whole and in parf. to make, conduc and close war, for the President cannot conclude a treaty of peace without the concurrence ol two thirds of the Senatots present. Where; then, is tho military necessity that can override the constitution? Wheie dea the Pieeident get his auihotity to subvert the organic law, by a simple proclamation? War is to be conducted acording to the rules of war, and Congress is to provide by law th "rule for the gov. ernment and regulation of the land and nava! forces. Under this provision, can it provide by law tor the subversion ol ihe constitution, because ore S.ate or a dozen Stales aie in rebellion? Under the plea of maintaining the government, can it overthrow it? In war and in peace the constitution is supreme. It is as much eo in a civil war as in a foreign one Miliary arrests and executions are in accordance with army regulations, but when it s claimej that the possession of a commission and a pair cf shoulder straps confers upon the owner the right to ai rest, p.inish and execute citizens who are not in the army, we may well inquire what despotism will next be advocated and justified. When it is claimed that the existance of war confers upen the President the power lo strike from existence the constitution and laws of ele en States of this Union, override the conptitutiou of the general government, and pre-enbe th social cor diiion of twelve millions of people, is it not time to k if the nation is drunk or infanc?
