indianapolis, on Wednesday, the
30th day of July.

The object in assembling the people at this
time is to take into consideration the new issues
which have recently been forced upon the coun-
try by the party in power-measures which have
no warrant in the Constitution, and which are
opposed to the spirit and purposes of our institu
tions: while, in the language of President Polk,
"war exists" to insist that its prosecution
shall be confined to the policy soemny set forth
by Congress in July, 1861, that it is mot waged
in the spirit of conquest or subjugation, nor for
the purpose of overthrowiIg or interfering with
the rights institutions of the States, bu, to de-
fend and maintain the supremacy of the Consti-
tuition, and to preserve the Union with all the
dignity, equality and rights OF the several States
Gnmpaired, and to assure the Administration
that a generous support will be given il, as the
representative of the Government, in all neces-
sary, prompt. and vigorous measures to overthrow
armed rebellion against the Union, to sus-
tain lis legitimate authority and crush out Aboli
tionsm. which is equally hostile to the Consttu-
tion Secessionism.
The Committee are impressed with the neces
sity of the People assembling en- masse at the
time proposed, for the following reasons:
l. The Administration, Congress and a recent
ly so ocalled Union" Convention held in this
State, have failed to announce what are the le
gitimate and appropriate means to put down the
rebellion, and one aud all have refused to even
censure, much less condemn, the disunion schemes
OF the Abolitonists:
= The so called Experimentation Conyen-
ton failed t. repudate the gross frauds aud cor
ruptions proven upon the party in power by
Congressional investigating committees of its
own appointment;
J. Congress has adopted measures such as the
abolition of slavery in the District OF Columbia
which, if constitutional. are i'll timed aud un-
necessary and calculated to create dstrust in the
States, and the country generally, as to the de.
signs OF the Administration.
+ 1. IL has proposed 10 tax the people OF the
whole Union to pay for the slaves that States
may see proper 10 emancipa,e. thus throwing ad
d,ional burdens upon the productive industry of

In order that the People. the source Of power
in all constitutional governments. who sincerely
desire to perpetuate the Union, as founded
and administered by our patriotic fathers. may
have the opportunity TO condemn these unconsti-
tutional measures; to express their sympathy aud
their determination to support the Adminisira-
ton in every legitimate effort to crush out trea-
son. "where'er it may rear its head;' TO "defend
and maintain the supremacy OF the Constitution"
and to uphold the rights and institutions Of all
the States unimpaired; to say to those in author
ity. the servants of the people, what are the le-
gitimate and appropriate means to put down this
rebellion; to condemn fraud and corruption and
all unconstitutional, illegitimate and unnecessary
measures calculated TO weaken instead of strength
enng love and respect for the Union; to re-
store wise, just, pure, equal and bene6cent ad-
ministration of the Government, such as tire peo-
pie desire and to the pledge made by the last
Democratic State Convention in behalf Of the
Democracy of Indiana, THAT we will sustain.
with all our energies, war for the maintenance
of the Constitution. and of the integrity Of the
Union under the Constitution; but we are oppo-
sed toa war for the emancipation Of the negroes,
the subjugation of the Southern States" the
Democratic State Central Committee, now ask
them to assemble in mass convention.
All who desire to see the stars and the stripes
float over every inch of American soil in liberty
fraternity and equality; all who insist that the
Government shall have fixed policy in the pros
ecutiOn of the war known to the whole country;
all who symplthize with the sixty thousand sons
of Indiana who have volunteered and are in the
field to defend and maintain the Constitution
and the Union, and who wish to see them reliev-
ed from their arduous duties and exposure of
health and life in defense thereof, by prompt
suppression of the rebellion and the restoration
of the Union not only in name but in essence;
all who wish to preserve constitutional liberty,
and the integrity of the Government under the
Constitution, are invited to attend the proposed
Convention and cooperate in the attainment of
these objects.
While the gallant and patriotic Union men of
Kentucky and other border slave States, have
devoted their efforts to preserve the Government
as our fathers made it, will not the citizens Of
Indiana aid, by their counsels and their votes
these patriotic citizens in repelling and rolling
back the tide of Southern and Northern treason
to the Constitution and the Union? For such a
purpose we should assemble, and for such pur-
pose we should, as we do, invite the co-opera.ion
of all good citizens.
Eminent speakers. true and tried patriots.from
adjoining States, have been invited and may be
expected to address the Convention upon the
momentous issues of the day.
By order of the Central Committee.

From Yorktown.

NEAR YORKTOWN, April l2.-The sun
shone brightly yesterday and to-day, much
to the relief of the thousands of soldiers,
who are compelled to sleep in in the open
air. The roads are still in a very bad con.
dition.
The rebels still continue to open with
their artillery whenever they discovered a
picket post, TO which our guns never reply.
Therebel forces have been greatly increased
within the last two days. On Thursday
several vessels were seen to land troops at
Yorktown and also at Gloucester, opposite,
which place has not been occupied up to
this time. Reinforcements have been re-
ceiyed from Norfolk by way of James river.
The balloon reconnaissance made yester-
day by Gen. Fitz John Porter, shows that
the rebels had materially strengthened their
works since the advance of the Federal
troops, and that many additional guns had
been placed in position. He reached an at
titude of 1000 feet. obtaining an uuob-
secured view as far as Williamsburg aud
Norfolk.

Four O'Clock p. m.-The Merrimao still
lies in the position she assumed this NOR
ming, the other vessels of the rebel feet
were about her but she remains quiet, and
it is the opinion of some that she is
aground as the tide is quite low, but this
is a matter of surmise.
Five s'clock p. m.-The Merrimac still re-
mains off Craney Island aud from the cIns-
ter oftug borts around her it is pretty
certain that she is aground. The Sawnee
came in this morning. She brings no news.
The steamer Rhode Island, from Key
West, and the blockading squadron in the
Gulf, also came in this morning. and left
again for New York. - sii3 ll-g.

Further Concerning the Battle al
PlttsbUrg.

CINCINNATI, April l2.-The Gazette's
Pittsburg correspondence says tue sum and
substance of the battle is, that on Sunday
we were rushed from disaster to disaster
until we lost every division camp we had,
and were driven within half mile of the
landing, where the approach of night, and
the timely aid of guuboats, the tremendous
efforts of our artillerists, and Buell's ap-
proRch saved US.
On Monday, after four hours hard fight
ing, we simply regained what we had lost
on Sunday.
NOta division advanced beyond our old
camps on Monday except that of Lew Wal
lace.
The lowest estimate places our loss at
three thousand in killed and wounded, aud
prisoners at from three to four thousand
The rebel loss in killed and wounded is
probably one thousaed more.
The rebels in their retreat left acres COW
cred with their dead whom they had car
ried to the rear, and destroyed heavy sup
