Indiana State sentinel., 1861-05-15
rhe governor. in Conference.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, of Saturday
says.
The war wing Of the Washington Administer
ton we're in council in this city last night Gov
ernors Deanison, of Ohio. Curtin, OF Pennsylva-
MA Blair, of Michigan, Randall, of Wisconsin,
Norton of Indiana, and representatives from the
Governors of Illinois and New York were pres
ent. These Governors represent twothirds of
the population Of this Northern Republic, and
the best fighting stock in the world.
These same Governors met not long since in
Washington, and by their joint counsels with Lin
coin and his Cabinet, inaugurated the war policy
They advised the re inforcing of Fort Sumter, and
promised the President aid from their respective
States. They now meet in Cleveland, tie ac-
knowledgel center of this Northern Republic to
compare views, concert action, and consolidate
strength TO carry on the war. Last night they
were called from their secret council to respond
10 demonstrations of respect, made by the citi-
zens Of Cleveland, and from the balconies of the
Angler they blew their war bugles long and loud.
From their mouths We learned that SO far as
power is invested in them, every port, fort vessel
custom house post-office, mint. and other feder-
al property taken by the rebels, is to be retaken
at al hazards, and ut every expense that
the Stars and Stripes are to take the places of
Pelican flags .nd Rattlesnake banners throughout
the South, aud that our conquering eagles are to
try even on the ramparts of Montgomery
This ia n serious, a solemn. and great under
taking, but nevertheless an imperative one Let
the People Of these great States stand by their
Governors, and these Governors stand by the
General Government. Then short will be the
war, and certain and glorious will be the result
serenade was given to the Governors, and
we find the following report of the speeches in
the PLIin Dealer:
About l01s O'Clock last evening Lelands Band
serenaded the GJ,s-nors AZ ;he Hotel. They
appeared upon the balcony in response to the ser
enade and to the call of large number of citi
zens who had assembled on Bank street. and
short speeches were made by Gov. Dennisor,
Gov Curtin, Gov. Randall, Gov. Blair. and Mai.
Gen. George AcCieIIxnd, Commander of the
Ohio Volunteers. The spec hes all breathed the
same warlike spirit Gov Randall, of Wiscon-
sin. said-.W should transport an army down
the Mississippi and blaze broad track through
the whole South, from Montgomery to Charles
ton. Charleston should be razed till not one
stone is left upon another till there is no place
left for the owl to hoot nor the bittsrn to mourn
Had he the power he would wipe out not onl v
traitors but the seed of traitors.
Gov. BLAZE, of Michigan, said:
We are in the midst Of wsr-s war of which we
can nos stop to count the cost Our flag has been
insultei; and more-it has been torn down But
fellow citizens, have reason to believe that the
brave Anderson will yet head army which shall
godoun to Chareston, and that his hands will again
raise the stars and stripes over the walls of Fort
Sumter. [Cheers. In the name of Michigan, |
promis. to stand by you shoulder to shoulder, and
to march beside you Of Ohio, and beside them OF
Pennsylvania, and beside brave old Massachu
setts, who has tendsrly taken to her bosom her
beloved dead. Wsbought the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi. and We will hold t. The traitors NAV 70
into the Gulf but they shall not take the territory
with them. We will stand by the old flag which
has waved over so many battle fields the flag
under which We have so long lived, and under
which, please God, we viii die"
Gov. MORTON, We understand, was not present al
the council, wisely concluding. we presume. to
leave the conduct of the war to the Admnstra
ton at Washington. where it belongs. The Gov
srnors of Ohio, Pennsylvania. Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois and New York seem disposed t
usurp the powers belonging to the General Gov
ernmsnt. Governor hoRros displayed goo,
sense in keeping out of such gath ering.
