iptpETIrDxA.TioN INDlANA.—Resolutions have been
diinliced into both Houses of the Legislature of In-
as so much of the State debt of Indiana
erkwas been incurred by the sale of State Bonds for which
L,eonsideration has been received, in consequence of the
but or fraudulent conduct of the purchasers thereof ;

at the same time, acknowledging, in all time to
the valid obligation of all her liabilities outstand-
ing, for which she has received the proper consideration

ertahunent, by the Fund Commissioner, of the num-
reit.'s, dates, amounts, and other descriptions of the bonds
th„e,,.l.reci to, and for their publication in certain cities of
-e`-'lliO4. and of Europe, as repudiated bonds."
av"-he introduction of' these resolutions, and-the seeming

rel 4' of public meetings, recommending this course; and
t rila,rks,ot the newspapers countenancing such pro-
