own good time, '.bring light out Of dark
ness" and prepare men and nations for
the universal brotherhood of Republican
Institutions To our down--trodden
brethren in the Old World we would say:
''Bide your time-the morn is breaking,
Bright with FRkEDoM's blessed ray
Millions. from their trance awakening,
Soon shall stand in stern array.
Man shall fetter man no longer,
Liberty shall march sublime;
Every momen Mt makes you stronger
Firm, unshrnking, bide your time. -
Re solved, That while Europe is thus
CONFUSED, and her patriots scattered and
sent into exle-while the sons who would
regenerate and build up the dead and ex-
piring liberties Of her people. are Danish
ell from their native land--while the So
called christian Powers of Europe look
on, with cold Indifference, at the expatria-
ton of the pure Of heart and the bold OF
spirit-we, portion of the people Of a
Sovereign American State, bid hearty
welcome to all who shall seek an asylum
on our shores.
Resolved, That we re-aflirm the action
and words Of the Wing Convention Of
January. 1843, and would calmly but
firmly express the conviction that the eN-
tension Of Slavery over territory coming
to US free ought to be prohibited'--that
such prohibition would be productive OF
lasting good 10 the people who shall in
habi, California; and New Mexico-and
that, looking to all the great interests OF
the American MON. no cause OF offence
should grow out of the exercise OF that
power.
/ Resolved, That while we are thus OPP
posed to the extension Of Slavery IN the
Territories recently acquired. and desire
to see their infant governments founded
upon the basis Of freedom. we utterly alb
ure any right to interfere with that instltu
ton in the States where il exists by law
or compact.
Resolved, That the Whigs--thc whole
People of Indiana--arc ardently attach
ed 10 the Union Of these Stdtes-that we
regard that UNION as the shcet-anchor o
our National hopes. and attachment to il
a, the predominant political sentiment o
the American heart-that its dissolution
for any cause but the loss of Liberty lisel
can find no Judgment in the heart of the
people Of Indiana; and we most earnestly
respond and re-echo the sentiment Of oul
Patriot President ylor. in his first an
nual Message, where he declares. that
.'attachment to the Union of the States
should be habitually fostered in every A.
merican heart. For more than half q
century, during which kingdoms and EN-
pires have fallen, this Union has stood un.
shaken. The patriots who formed it have
long since descended to the grave; ve
still it remains the proudest monument &c
their memory. and the object of affection
and admiration with every one worthy &c
bear the American name. In our ludy
ment its dissolution would be the creates
of calamtics, and TO avert it should be
the study Of every American. Upon lis
preservation must depend our own hap
pincss and that of countless generations
to come. Whatever dangers may threat
en- it, shall stand by it, and maintain its
integrity, to the full extent Of the obiga
tons imposed. and the powers conferred
upon me blythe constitution"
After being read they we're unanimous
~ adopted.
