The daily Evansville journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1862-1863, 1862-05-28

We republish, this morning, the call for
a Union State Convention to assemble at
Indianapolis on the 18th of June next. We
desire to call the attention of the voters in
the First Congressional District to the lib
eral spirit in which the call is made, and
20 urge upon them the necessity of making
arrangements to have each county in the
District fully represented in the Conven-
tion.- All" who are in favor of the vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war for the preserva-
ton ofthe Union and the maintenance of
the Constitution, and opposed to the dis
loyal Convention of the 9th of January last,
are without respect to past political ASSOC
Citations, invited to meet in mass Conven-
ton" The platform is sufficiently broad
for all our people TO stand on it without
being jostled or crowded. The main issue,
not only in the so-called Confederate
States, but also in the loyai States, is, shall
the rebellion be crushed; shall the means
be readily and cheerfully supplied to enable
the Government to maintain its authority
and suppress the revolution shall those in
A1oAAooAAAAA
have taken up arms in defense of an i'm
perilled Union-be sustained by all means
within our power, so that they may fight
with consciousness that their sacrifices
aud courage are appreciated and admired
b. their neighbors and friends at home
1t is unnecessary to urge that it is not by
finding fault with the Administration-by
misrepresenting its designs and underestI-
mating it's resources by continually magni-
flying the power and resources of the rebels
that our volunteers are sustained. What
satisfaction is it to our brave soldiers to
have our pittance per month grudgingly
voted them by congressman whose daily
actions and words indicate their contempt
and hatred of the cause in which they are
enlisted They have not volunteered for
the $l3 per month, and it is an insult to
say that In voting for the appropriation
bill to secure the soldiers pay Is sustaining
them. What they desire Is that moral
support which gives them an assurance of
the righteousness of their cause; that SYM
patty and encouragement which buoys them
up amid the hardships of the march, the
disease of the camp, and the dangers of the
battlefield. Whenever they hear from
home, it should be words of good cheer,
calculated to strengthen their hopes of
safe return, crowned with the wreath Of
victory and welcomed by the applause Of
the whole country. This is the kind of
support our volunteers crave, and how can
it be better given than by harmonious
uniting of the people in one grand Mass
Convention, whose candidates shall be
selected on account of personal fitness for
the positions they are respectively nomi-
mated for, and their enthusiastic devotion o
the cause in which the volunteers are en-
listed and whose resolutions shall breathe
nothing but ardent affection for the Consti-
tuition and the Union, and firm determi-
nation to suppress the rebellion.
THAT the Convection to assemble on the
18th will be the largest ever witnessed in
the State, there is but little reason TO doubt.
This involves the greater necessity for
those counties remote from the center of
~AS 0e1so ~ SanAo piOlAFb AASoSAA~S ~ ---'S-
themselves properly represented on that oc-
clsion. Weurge upon our friends-upon
the friends of the Union, if nothing has
been done in their neighborhoods, to secure
representation at the Convention, to at
tend to the matter at once. Let. every cour1-
tn IN the Pocket be s0eU represented The
course best calculated to insure such repre-
sentation, can be determined BY those liv-
ing in the various counties. We cen suggest
no better means than preliminary meetings
in the several townships of each county, or
county convention at the county seat,
where delegates can be chosen, and where
it may be ascertained, who can, and who
cannot, att nd the State Convention.
What do the friends of the Union Con-
ven,ion say to calling such meeting in
