To Tour Tents! 0, Israel!

The desperate men in power have thrown off all disguise and announced to the country that they mean to carry the next election at the point of the bayonet. Between the lines of the infamous instructions to the marshals of the United States just issued by the Attorney General with the approval of the President, every man oan read the policy of the republican party in the great struggle that is before us. It means to win the next election at any price, and the bloodier the price that is paid for it the better will it please the band of robbers and plunderers who hsve practically uprooted the foundations of our government and turned democracy into despotism. Taft’s order is not the first but the last step toward empire. If the country submit to it, government of the people, for the people, and by the peo pie has been overthrown; elections are a moekery; the suffrage a delu sion, and the ballot-box a snare. We appeal to every lover of-his, country, without distinction of party, to consider the situation; It is ordered by a corrupt, rotten cabal in Washington that the marshals of the United States in every hamlet and city from Florida to Maine and from ocean to ocean shall call out the -whole force of the government to control the elections. Theartny, the navy, the militia of the states are, according to Mr. Taft and President Grant, all subordinate to these minions of the Federal authority; state lines have been wiped out; state authority has been overthrown. The marshal of the United States takes the place of the governor and of the mayo.*. His orders are supreme. He has been instructed to set their authority at defiance; to call to his support and practically recruit an army to assist him in his work of intim idation.

The time haa come when we must 'meet force with force To the bayonet we must oppose the bayonet. That ia the only way to save republican institution* and democracy in the United States. The party in power is resolved upon the adoption of desperate met ods to retain their supremacy, and it is only by desperate methods the party of constitutional government can successfully oppose and defeat them Louis Napoleon never dared to do inFrauce what the republican party has resolved to do within the next sixty days. It has sent out its manifesto that there shall not be a fair election: that in the selection of the next president the will ot the people shall be set at defiance, and that only those who vote for it shall vote at all. If we allow this policy to be successtuily inaug urated and carried out, republican government in the United States is dead. All that we have contended for during a hundred years will have perished. The defeat ot thebad, bold men who have resolved upon this desperate course can only be secured by the adoption of their own methods. The party of constitutional government everywhere and especially iu the state of Maryland and the cityot Baltimore must teach them that force wiil he met by foree. The time has come for all good men who love their country and love the Union to organize and show the men who would overturn the Uuion that they can only

do it by the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands ot lives. Let us begin the work in Baltimore at once, End organize immediately. Let ns have the Miuute Men of *76. No law must be broken. Their aim should be to defend the law; to ’ protect the imperiled constitution of our common country. It is fitting that Baltimore and Maryland, which may be called the cradle of civil and religious liberty in America, should take the lead io this most patriotic work. It Baltimore shall send out tne voice, the echo of the Voice that Paul Revere sen* out from the Old South Church of Boston a hundred years ago, we shall have the continent in a whirlwind of patriotism within thirty daysj and the desperate men who are seeking the overthrow of American liberties will have been defeated. Let us have the “Minute Men of ’76” organized, drilled, equipped and led by the best men who can be found to lead them. This is the great duty of the hour. To your tents! O, Israel! —Baltimore Gazette. Two new wagons/£wo span of horses, tad two set of harness for hale on twelve months' time. Enquire of A. Leopold. '*» A * 4 ■■. «• . r *

Indiana.

It is not surprising that public interest should be concentrated upon Indiana, for the contest m that state is of paramount signifi cance and importance. The ability and will of the republicans to deserve the confidence of their state and the whole country was shown by the withdrwal of Mr. Orth as the candidate for Governor when a single question was raised as to the propriety of his general conduct while in Congress. Ben. Harrison was substituted —a man of the highest character and great popularity. Universal confidence and enthusiasm have followed his nomination, and the whole state is stirred and aroused by the energy and vigor of the campaign. General Harrison has himself taken the stump, and although be was very reluctant to accept the nom illation, he has thrown himself with the utmost patriotism and untiring effort into the canvass. He is a man whose family name is identified with the growth and renown of his state ; but his claim upon the hearty and universal support of his fel-low-citizens of Indiana, and upon the sympathy and good wishes of honest people throughout the country, is not derived from the standing and service of others. General Harrison is the representative in this canvass of that reform in politics which the country requires, and which is most earnestly and significantly demanded by republicans.

The great interest of the Indiana election is not only that Indiana is the doubtful “October” state, but that a republican victory is the earnest of the sure triumph of purer polities. Thedemocratic cry of reform is merely the demand of change. There is no known reforming element in thedemocratic party. The real forces and influences that will control its policy are not only not those of reform, but they are such as necessarily to fill every patriotic heart with apprehension. The cardinal necessity of the country is the final overthrow of the old democratic organization, in order to make new political associations possible. Indiana, as the brave van-guard in the contest, deserves the utmost sympathy and aid. New York, which is perhaps the center of the November struggle, has sent many eloquent sons to her sister stale. There are others as earnest, if not ns eloquent, who would gladly join them it more pressing duties did not forbid. But the men of Indiana may be sure they are watched with the most friendly and hopeful interest, and that the higher and braver the strain of their discussions, the greater will be the general sa'isfaction and the surer their victory. — Harper's Weekly.
