Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-05-20


We appeal to the Americas people to country
from tins dihonor and degradation. We cast behind US
all collateral considerations, and fix our thoughts alone
on the vigorous prosecution Of the war; the only means
OF securing an early and honorable peace. We invite
our patriotic fel0wcilizens throughout the Union 20
make tins single issue with their public men, and 10 hold
them 70 without evasion equivocaiion To retire
from Mexico, or suspend operations, - N insure
The worlds contempt and perpetual war Mexico has
repeatedly refused recognise any negotaors but fleets
aud armes by their agency alone operating upon her in
eress and her Tears we 10 expect the settlement ct our
boundary indemnify for the past injuries and the reSiora
ton OF friendly relations. Ia campaign, the power
OF this republic put ith under united couses this
war would be brought to Memorable conclusIoE The
respect OF other nations secured aud the character at
institutions elevated in the estimation Of the civilized
world.
To compass a result happy we invite our fellow
citizens OF every party for country sake, forget
their allegiance to political leaders, their predilectiens
Tor men, aud make their public forget them Also
until the rights of country have been vindrated lis
arms crowned win victory aud peace established upona
basis which will each Mexico and other nations that they
rely IN vain upon factions Congress- aud the imputed
weakness of republican government screen them from
The consequences OF unjust attacks upon our interests or
our honor.

among the other nations of the earth, future peace,
and the permanent welfare Of our country are deeply
involved IN prosecuting the against Mexico with the
utmost vigor until it can be ended honorable terms.

obJect and that hold those who willing
tribute to the comfort Of the brave who fighting
the battles Of their country foreign land, unworthy
TO be called the countymen of the heroes Of Palo Alto,
Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey.
ResOred, That the factious spirit evinced by many
members of Congress- delaying measures essential to the
vigorous prosecution OF the throwing ia abstract and
useless propositions TO precious time which be-
longs TO the country, rng away hours and days which
should be devoted TO solemn legislation, bringing upon
US the contempt of foreign natIons encouraging
to protracted resistance parayzng and navy
and threatens 10 bring upon deea dshonor and dis
grace.
ReSoIred That conduc, so fatal to the success Of
own arms and so inspiring 10 countrys enemy de-
serves TO be denounced by free press and free people
and when the The result OF this blind
niauaton as mexican victory, II hnds response IN
The bosom OF every patriotic American and Is but pre-
Jude to the thunders of indignant rebuke which begin
roll in from every section of our extended republic
Resofred, That If the expulsion of the editor Of
the Union" from in the Senate of per-
sona resentment II was unworthy the high bearing which
ought to characterize American Senatorsj but If il
designed blow at the liberty of the press deserves
at the hands Of freemen deep and unqualified denuncia
ton.
