box. The edicts Of this National Council, however
canoncal they may be, will be powerless TO change
those opinions or to reverse the action OF the peo-
pie of Indiana Always conservative in their opin-
ions and actions, always mindful of the compromi-
SEES Of the Constitution of the United States, ar
IDENTIFY devoted to the American Union they will
see with regret, the PRONUNCIATION Of platform by
this body, which can have no other effect than to
increase the fury of the confagration, which the
passage of the Kansas N ebraska bill has lighted
up The undersigned respectfully express their
deliberate conviction, that Immediately upon the
publication Of the platform adopted, the order in
the State Of Indiana will to acknowledge the
authority Of this National Council, and they re-
specially ask that this protest may be received as
termination of their duties as delegates from that
State"
