Call for Union state
Convention.

Over sixty THOUSAND OF the citizens OF
Indiana having voluntarily taken up arms
for the defense of the Government. and the
preservation of the Constitution and the lib
critics OF the people, it is unbecoming those
who remain at home to array themselves IN
partisan warfare against each other, when
the probable consequences must be to pre-
vent the resources of the country from being
applied to the support and maintenance OF
the army. to epgender strife and discord, to
withhold supplies for the war worn soldiers
and recruits for the ranks thinned by battle
and may terminate in the decentralization OF
the army, and the overthrow of constitution
al liberty.
Therefore, mos, earnestly deprecating all
efforts to keep on foot party influences, pre-
prejudices and discipline. all persons. Elec-
tors OF Indiana. who are in favor OF the Wig
orous prosecution of the war tor the pres
ervation Of the Union and the maintenance
of the Constitution. and opposed to the dis
loyal Convention of the Sth Of January last
are without respect TO past political associ
atoms, invited to meet in Mass Convention
at Indianapolis. on the 18th Of June next
for tie purpose OF nominating candidates foi
the Offices of State, to be voted for at the
next general election.
And to the end that Indiana may coniin
ne % enjoy the high position with the other
States which she has in the present wal
hitherto occupied, and that all the energies
O the State may be unitedly put forth for

ek" That democratic Address" issued
by Vallandigham, and other Democratic
members ofCongress. is strongly denounced
by portion Of the Democratic press. The
New Albany Ledger says:
Many of the mos. sterling Democratic
papers IN the country boldly denounce the
attempt OF Messrs. Vallandigham and com
pany TO dictate to the Democracy Of the
nation their duty in the present crisis. We
do not, indeed. see how presumption could
go further than for these Ia gentlemen to
take upon themselves the business of in
struc;lng some millions of treemen as to
their country and their party.
The Rochester Union says:
The gentlemen who signed this address
were elected to legisla.e for the country.
not to 'rame creeds for political party
They may entertain one set of views as to
the duty of party men in this crisis. and
the Democratic press may entertain another
set of views on the same subject. The
press does not claim the right to impose its
views upon the Democratic or other mem
oers OF Congress; and i. will not bIindIy
accept their views as its own.
