2. That the true interests Of The coun

Now - shall we Sustain thiGaverameat?
In _the attenipt to, give an answer 10,
this question there are certain facts to be
stated preliminarily, ,the first of which is
that in the Goiernment, as it is now.con
stituted, abides the hope of the American
people. This Government, with Mr. Lin; :
coin, its constitutional President at :the
head, is the only instrument which the
American-peaple possesik, for maintainino.
American nationality, againstAlio efforts
of treason andrebellion. - There is no one
who is: bOld enough' to propose a revelit-
Therels no - one who is wild enough •
to attempt to compass the Objects of the
loyal - States through any other agency, or
by any other means,' than the presentOd=
ministration. All authoritative move
meats must originate in it,, and go forth
from it. It 'must raise the. money, sum
mon and arm the soldiersymanage our rem
lotions with. other nations, instittite and
pursue a policy adapted to secure the ends
desired, and nand responsible to the pies-.
ent and to future generations, to history
and to Gad, for the manner in which it,
discharges its momentous trust., 1
•Se.much everybody will admit, and. no
body, We presume will be so indecenti,as
to suppose that, in a crisis like the res-1
ent, this Government is under the slight
est obligation to manage its affairs in the -
interests of any political party. TheDem
_oerat and the Republican fight side by
side on the-battle-field, and, animated on
ly by patriotic impulses, do not stop to.in
quire concerning one another's polities:—
Many of our prominent military men.,are
those who have no 'sympathy - with the-po
litical principles of Mr. Lincoln and, those ,
who elected him, but. they are - bound to!
him and to his administration by the:ties
of loyalty. Mr. Lincoln finds himself the
chief of o great nation, not more than half
•of whom sympathize with him politically,
yet all of whom must sustain hini, or )ie
must fail in the herculean task he is Call -1
ed upon to perform., He is to be4he
must be—the President of the nal ionof
the whole American people, and the
strument of their aggregated opinion and
will. He Can go no-fiister than the 100-.
piego,' because lie would run away from
the popular support. It is his policy, and'
his only safe policy, to keep the people
united, and to Ipvevents enlighten them
at the saine,timelhat they indicate to lihn.
the pathfor him ! to pursue. ;
We find ourselves now arrived at apri
sis in the rebellion, nd the question comes
" how - shall we sustain the Government?"
!.We see that we do nothing 'except thro'
the Government,, and that the Govern
' ment can pursue in°, peliey which will] l
ienate it from the popular confidence trod'
support. 'There arc two kinds of suplant-1
which-we can, give the Government—ma
terial and 'moral. Material aid is very
simple. The Government oaf's for nien,
and we must furnish them. The cause of
the Government calls for the 'sacrifice of
money, and we mast sacrifice it. We
have no. fault to find with the American
people for anylack of generosity in mate
rial supplies. When, early in the strug
gle, it wits the policy of the Government
to borrow , money, capital clubbed in har
mony to„ supply it. When half - a trillion
of men were called for, hallo' .million Of
men were calledfor, half a million of men
and more spiang to arms. Clothing; hos
pital stores. comforts have been contribu
ted to aniriimensa amount: The Govern
ment now calls ftir Men, and, capital
,springs at once to furniSh• them and fit
them out. The men, too, will 'come, and
the new, levy Will be completed at_an- ear
ly day.
The second variety of support—the
moral—is 'a matter on which we have
something special to say. The .Govern
ment has had, from the first, not onlythe
material, but the moral . support of the
loyal people-of America; bnt_Aliere have'
been from the first - Uneasy spirits who
have s not been content with .the march of
events, and the steady. progress - of the na
tionAoward the conclusion for which
they labor. These men have occupied all
positions, from that of Governor of a
State to that of Governor's scullion and
- baek.door tattler—from that.of a Senator
in Congress to that'Of his parrot penny-a
liner. Because thiegs have not been done
as. they. wished to have ( them done; be-.
cause some things have been done un
wisely; because some serious mistakes
have been made, they have nothing to say
except it be to they tune of a: howl Or. a
groats. Not one word of eneouregernent
to the anxious men around them ever Paa
seis Aheir lips. They never open their
mouths except in blame of those who are
in responsible s. positions, or in words of
sadness or bitterness._ To hear them, talk
one would suppose that the nation had al
'ready gone to ruin; that there was .no
popular confidence in' the, Government or
its generals, and that there was a settked
purpose on the part of the administration
to sell Out the co•rntrY to the rebels. -
These -men call themselves "anti-slave
ry men and th e only true anti-slavery
.wen in ' the nation. No matter how thor
oughly anti-slavery a man may. have been
• throughout his-life, if he-does not - happen
to , sympathize - -with thein now, he is a
hunker and a pro-slavery man—lf he does
not go the whole length, ond carp at Pres
ident-Lincoln and Gen. McClellan, and all
those in authority and high position whose
views do not harmonize. with theirs, then
be is accursed as a lover orslavery. /They
abuse 'the Governinent,and. speak con-,
temptuonely ofall Alipse who do not;' and
then with . chiracteristie insolerice,assume
to' be the best- friends the Government
bas, and the.only true friends of the coun
try. :Now, we ask in all candor, whether
these men are not doing more to discredit
the government with the people, to dis- :
courage enlistments, to depress t he popu
lar hope, and to' complicate our financial
affairs, than an equal number of open and
avowed traitorsbould do? There can be ,
but 'one answer to Ahis question; The
whole aim of their movenieuts is to drive
the Government, to. adopt their policy,
whether convinced of its desirableness
and.necessity,or not.—SprinOgld Repub.

. A
. ,
• The , brief despatch published, in the
newspapers, a d il purporting to give an
secount-of thelproceedingfloof the Demo
eratio Mass Convention held at 'lndiana!),
olds mi; the 30th of July, .turns out, as We
supposed it wofild, to have been the work
of some !malicieus enemy of Democratic
principles.. Omi of our-western exchanges
brings; iis a fullireport of the proceedings •
1 of the Converitiok i . together with the
speech- delivered by Ex-Gov. AVicklille, of
Jtentudky.- He did not say, ,as represent.:
ed, that "before doing any thing more 'he
Would pause tO, see' - what .Ave were fight
ing for,"•or.that "the abolitioniks control
every department of the Government and
I were worse than the rebels." 'He did not
attempt to discourage enlistments or stay
the arm of the Government in the .work of
maintaining the Constitution ,and
.restor
frig the,Vnion.l On the contrary, he •urg
ed the most vigorous
.prosecution of the
war and said "if the . twenty millions,of
the North could not conquer the six mil

crats and Republicans who reverence tfe ,

would prosecutb the war, restore the Lin
ion, and maintain the rights of 'all Under
the Constitution intact." s -- i . -
It is a lamentable but instructive exlii
bition of Partisan violence, to witness how
greedily the Republican newspapers seize
upon this false) dispatch "as positive evi
dence of the treasonable sympathies of the*
Northern Democracy. They seen' to hail ,
with actual delight every symptom of
what they deem disloyalty at . the 'north.
News of a great Union victory - could not
have thrown them ' into greater trans..'
ports than theireport that thirty thous
and citizens of Indiana had assembled 'at
the - capitol of the State - to talk and act
treason. One Would suppose that, know
ing the general inaccuracy of telegraphic'
' dispatches, the first impulse Of the - friebtls
of a united North would'have been to di4.-
credit the ruiner that any large ptirtion of
the northern People had assembled for
the purpose of thwarting the Government
and aiding the ebellion. • But not so with
these Republic
,n newspapers._They..swal
lowed the lyin report without pairs-mg-to
ipiestion its tr uth, because they widied, it
true, in order f i t.) inicke partisan capital a—
gainst the Democrat is party. Such mis
representation is not harmless. It is.caleii
lated to promote distrust anti derision; to
encourage the' 'duds to persevere i,n ieir
war upon the Government, mil to pee
suade foreign Governments that a large,
i•
portion of the northern people are so sick
of the war that they would hair mediation
and separation with pleasure.
The Convention referred to. was the lar
gest.gathering of a political character ever
held in the-Sta,e of Indiana. • The ;rove
near the Court House :presented 117 e af)
peartince of an iniinense , camp, ivhile in the,

That the •ti onstitution the AmeriCan .

the authority( f the Constitutibn, must be
preserved and.maintained in their proper
and rightful -si
ipredracy ; that the rebel
lion now in arms against them must be
suppressed and put doWn,. and,that it is
the duty of al good citizens to aid ,the
itGeneral Gove nment in anneasures •ne
cessary and proper to that el. •
. That the Democracy of In Ulna, with
patriots everywhere, kave made and will
continue to t lliw every' sacrifice to .the
end that the rhellion may be suppressed,
the supremacy !Cif the Constitution main
rl
'tained,. and th . Union under it preserved ;
but they-are uUalterably opposed' to a war
of conquest 41stibjugation, and they_nev

SPEECH OP:110N. W. A. HiCITAEDSON. ,
The Pretiidnnt then intiodneed Ho;
W. A. Riehardsen, of Illinois, as a gallant
son of war and distinguished.in the coun
cils of the nation, in the 'field, and on the
floor of, Congress. , From his speech we
make only n brief eitract, as follows:
"In his judgment the, congress- that
had just adjourned was the'lmoit'mischie
'vons one that had ever assembled in this
country. They had ',aided; the rebellien
by . their ' unfortunate - legislation and -
speeches, and • be, was firmly,of the-I:Til
ton that the army would have overthrown -
Ihe•rebels everywhere hefore this iflthere
had been no 'Congress in Session: ' jetie
boanii the sou of Nebat, could not have ,
divided the-tribes of . Isl.:kilt' it had . po.
been for the folly of Rehoboatri; the right
ful ruler. • The rebelliOn could not have en
dured till now but fur ,
the folly of Cnn-
gross just closed. The action of Congrtiss
r n
was calculated to,.' did.unito the-Snu
them people.. It filled the ranks of their -
army. It divided and distracted us. One
year ago, when both branches of CongidSs
had,' by a .nearly unanimous vote, declared
the war to -be -for the.: Constitution and
that alone, 690,000 volunteers had rush'ed
to the field to put down the rebellion. .A
million of soldiers could' then - have been
, had-upon, that assurance bynsking.. Now,
after Congress bai_bY its action rendered
the . pnrpose i' doubtful, a call is Made r for
300,000 men, and in-some, of tile states
you will •be tompellod to draft, to fill the
call. You will not have to draft in Indi
ana,' or Illinois, nor, I believe, in the north-
West, and . I thank GrOd for it ; but . in sOtne
. of the states it will '.he done, if they fail Ito
furnish their quota: 1- • 1 -

The abolition bushwhackers-are tremb- ,

brought upon their own lwaths - by . their

-are acting in concert to impugn the loyal ty
of the Democratic party and' bring down
upon influential then mil presses.the.strong
arm of the National Administration, exec:
cising that extra-constitutional power by
them called the "war power." It is4.:laim•
I
I- ed by them that in the exercise -of 'this'
I power, all liberty of speech that take a
wider range than is compatible with their
intereSts or conceits, May be •suppressed—
that liberty-loving tongues May be herm
etically seal ed,and stalwart arms paialyzed
by summary arrest and quiet incarceration
in one of Uncle Sam'S fortresses ' until after
election. To effect this arand oltject, com
panies of spies are 'oiganized- to: keep
watch and ward 'over the actions of-honor
able men; to note thele outgoings and in
comings, to trace their footsteps late and
early atutto repot every idle word which
disconnected from what precedeg and fol
-
lowed, may be construed into sympathy
- with, rebellion ; eves-droppers hover round
suspected dwellings, and even the prattle
of children is made available to the • di . rt 3;
.
purposes of these scoundrels. Upon ,
evi

tionized'RepUbiican party, has safely pas
et% and'the black banner allegro emanci
pation, liberty, equality and.fratermlation
has been curried successfully thrt)::gh th--,
October contest. .
Revolting as-it is, this is the programme
frof the Republican leaders in this state.—
The
,question is, will it be carried nut ?
We refuse to belie 62 that ,the President
and his Cabinet will permit themselvis to
be used to the extent desired as instru
merits to gratitY the malignity of worth
less partisans, and we trust soon to have
this'belief confirmed: -
. In the meantime
we b. F, that our Democratic young men,:
a • as, are subject to draft, will give
lie IW - to their traducers by rallying at
once under the, banner of areir-country;
and ,aid thcipbretbren alrefidy in the field .
to crush - Mit the formidable and, wicked
rebellion which threatens the totill . sub-•
version! of -Republican Gereijunent. It
should be the pride; as it umpiestionobly
is . the duty , every man fit to,_bear arms
to stand by his country in this the hour of
-her great•great peril,,and to shed, if need
be, the last drop of his blood in her de
fence.—Parriel & Union.
- What Thurlow Weed .Says;
. The Albany Evening Journal, a promi
nent Republicanpaper,edited by Thurlkw:l
Weed, says :
"The chief architects of the rebellion,
before it broke out, were aided -in their
-infernal design?{ by the ultra abolitionists
of the North. This was too true, for.witlt
out. such aid. the South _could noVer `hare
been united against the Union. 'But :litr
the incendiary recommendations- which
rendered the otherwiseuseful Helper book
alire-brand,.North Carolina could not
.have been forced out of the Union. And
even -note, the ultra abolition ' press and
speech matters are aggravating the horrors
they helped to. creae, and thns, byday
intothe hands of tale leaders of d , the
rebellion, are keeping. down the Unison
men of the South, and rendering•reunion
difficult if not. impOssible." , .
tar The Charleston Courier some time
since contained the followino• b report from
Texas : • . -
An order has been extended -foi:
