INDIANA.-Some of the opposition presses ara
publishing resolution purporting to have been ad
opted by the recent Democratic State Convention Of
Indiana, which does rot fully sustain the admins
tration on the Kansas question. The Washington
Union of Tuesday last publishes all the resolutions
adopted which as warm and explicit in their en-
dorsement Of the administration could he desired
but the Union states that after the passage of these
resolutions, and when majority Of the members
had left for their homes, some indictments who re.
manned got through the resolution referred to, and
which has been eagerly seized upon by the opposi-
ton presses to show that Indiana is not true to the
administration This resolution, passed under such
circumstances, cannot be accepted for moment as
the true expression of the sentiments of the conven-
ton in opposition to the series formally reported by
its committee and ratified in full session.
The administration is between two fires, one from
the black Republicans of the North and the other
from the Know Nothings of the South. Practical
ty the 1.-TWO brigades" are together. They are NOV
ed by one common purpose, and they are playing
into each others hands. Let every true Democrat,
therefore, stand like rock by the President of his
choice and by the national Democratic party

City on Monday next for Mayor and nine Commits

exist and that all will 60 to the polls and vote with
out let or hindrance for the men of their choice

it will become necessary for the Democratic party
of the State to nominate candidate for Governor,

Of delegates for that purpose be held in the town of

~ next Il .+ Egg '''-. .-
requested to appoint twelve delegates to represent
the Democracy Of this county in said Convention.
Resoloed, That, while we adhere faithfully to all
the principles of our party heretofore presented

able effort to i6eralise the views of our friends in

The CxNPA IdN AGAINST THE MoRM0N&-GenesA
Scott having been fully advised Of the views of the
Administration WITH reference Is erations against
the Mormons. is nov engaged in developing his
plans for the Spring campaign They are notyst
finally determined upon, however. ts. =. 81 s
, The General ID understood to concur with Score
tary Floyd in the opinion that the campaign should
be conducted altogether with regular troops or as
nearly SO a. possible and for that reason he is espe-
cally DESTROYS that Congress should act at once up
the proposition to add four or five new regiments
to the regular army. y - aaFaa
The ultimate decision as to the chief plan OF ope-
rations next Spring will be determined by the deci
sion of Congress on that proposition. If the regu-
lar army is increased, operations will be chiefly con-
Quoted from this side while if volunteers are au'
thorzed, instead, they. will be raised upon the Pa
cic side, and the chief base of operations, conse
quently, will be upon that coast. .ta ed $50 q
The forces now near Utah, however, will need re-
Inducements and succor at early day, and with
view to affording them, the Lieutenant-General will
issue an order Immediately directing such companies
as can be spared from Kansas and other posts to
concentrate Immediately for the march towards Salt
Lake at the earliest possible date. - -. r. 81
We see reports now and then to the effect that
portions of the Utah army have been surrounded
and cut up by the Mormons. The campaign against
Brigham is an arduous and difficult one, it is true,
but we entertain no serious apprehensions as to the
result of it.

Resotoed, That the issues involved in our

Resolosd, That Of these questions, that of the
speedy extension to the Tennessee line of our pre-

to all Others that upon it depends very existence
as prosperous people, and that St te organiza-
ton have our full confidence that does not stand
fully and squarey with US, on this question: for our
rights and that Of all sections of the State. -

and more especially on this subject in the approach
ing Democratic Convention, and having an oppor-
tunty to appeal in concert with the other counties
of the mountain section, to the justice of our Dem
ocratic brethren throughout the State, we request
the Chairman of this meeting to appoint twenty two
delegates to represent jackson county in said Con-
vention; and in case none Of them attend David
Coleman, Esq, Of Buncombe, and Dr. John A. Dick
son, of Burke, either of thenl are requested to
represent us as delegates. o.. ,....-.,,..l
Resolced, That our said delegates are instructed
to pursue, in spirit Of harmony and Cancellation,
but firmly and uncompromisingly, such course as,
out the objects of these resolutions through the &C
ton and under the guarantees Of said Convention.
Resolred, That we recommend the second We'd
nesday of February next, the time, and Salisbury
as the place, for holding said Convention.
Resotred, That without disparaging the just claims
Of any of the many Democrats whom we could
cheerfully support, this meeting recommends w. w.
Avery, Esq, of Burke, nomination which would
be eminently worthy Of, and acceptable to- the par
ty throughout the State.
Resolred, That we heartily approve of the Admin

ton, especially merits the applause, and should re,
