/ "HaVing time and again warned the
! members of the party now in power Of the
fatal tendency of their insane course, and
implored them TO abandon the stubborn and
unwise policy of anii-slavery agitation, we
here take for our motto, "Not one dollar
and not one man from Indiana with which
to subjugate the South and inaugurate civil
war r. 7a
Reso1oed, That Governor Morton, when
he wants troops to slaughter the descend
ants and countrymen of Washington, Jack
son, Clay and Joe Davies, be respectfully
requested to make no call on Hose counties
wnich have heretofore furnished men and
money to defend the nation sgaiust foreign
foes but that he con6ne bis levies to those
communities which never sent one man to
uphold the flag of our Union in its march
OF conquest and civilization. -
ResaLaed, That SIX New England
States, by their anti-sl very orators, lee
turers, preachers and agitators, have brought
about this dire conflict between the North
and the South, and these States having op-
posed the foreign wars waged by the United
States against Great Britain and Mexico, in
1872 ard lS47, respectively, and denomi-
mated them "ungodly wars" it is recom-
mended to national Union men, of all par
ties, to permit these six Abolition States to
do all the fighting with the people of tie
South, so that all the honor, all the glory,
and all the trophies of that unnatural con-
test shall cluster on the brow of the trait
ors who have forced civil war upon our
beloved native land. .r .ts,7Ii BIB
The President of this meeting was Hon
Arch. johnson, then Senator, and now can
didste for Senator of the Sth-of-J anuary
party in Putnam county, and one of the
committee that reported these resolutions
was Mr.. Austin N. Puett the candiadate
of the 8th-of- January party for Represent
ative.
70 On taking the chair at the sth-of- January
Convention, Thomas A. Hendricks made a
speech, OF which the following was the con-
cluson. He is suggesting, slyly, the seces-
sion of the Northwest from the East, and
its union with the rebel Stats. This is a
faVorite topic with Mr.. Hendricks. See
how artfuIly, and yet how distinctly this
issue of a second secession of the North
west from the Union is presented:
The main thing is that cur losses are
enormous. In the reflective mind the in
quiry arises, why is this so? 1t is not for
the want OF a foreign demand we have
that in an increased degree. 1t is not for
the want of money-that is abundant for
all the wants of our trade-but the answer
is in the fact that we are cut off from our
Southern market. II is striking fact in
contrast, that the Eastern States, during
the last nine months, have accumulated
more wealth than during the same time at
any period of theis history. For the want
OF the Southern market the Inen of Indi-
ana lose nearly one-half the rewards of their
=
to US, is apparent upon a moments re1ec-
ton; the transportation of our heavy and
bulky products upon the rivers is easy and
cheap-it is the interest of the South main
ly to emf 10y ber labor in the production of
rice, sugar, hemp. tobacco, and cotton far
ticles that we do not produce), ano to de-
pend upon and buy from us the production
of our lands and labor. To encourage and
stimulate the people of the South in the
production OF their peculiar commodities,
that they may be large buyers from us, has
been, and so long as "grass grows and wa
ter runs" will be, the true interest OF the
Northwest; and that political party that
would destroy that market is our greatest
enemy.
Most earnestly, then, do call npon the
men of Indiana to consider what President
Lincoln seems to favor, what Mr.. Cameron
urges, what the Republican members of
Congress in caucus have determined upon,
and what bills now pending in Congress
conlemplate-lhe freedom of the negroes in
the Southern States 10 a word, the destruc-
tion of Suthern labor, and the ru in, forever,
of our rich trade and The value of our pro-
ducts.
lmpelled by a false philanthropy, Eng
land has made her rich islands luxuriant
waste and wilderness, the trade of which
is. worth no more than one of the Jewels of
the Queens crown. Are we now, who
have for ourselves and the generations yet
" OOnCb euCu iuIpOEIdut interests lnVOlVe0,
to consent to such a policy towards the
great and fertile regions upon the Gulf of
Mexieo2 lt
The first and highest interest CT the North
west is in the restoration and preservation
of the Union upon the basis of the Consti-
tulion-and the deep devotion CT her De-
mocracy to the cause of the Union is shown
by its fidelity in the past; but if the failure
and folly and wickedness of the party in
power render a union impossible, then the
mighty Northwest must take care of herself
and her os0n interests. She must not allow
the arts and the fnesse of New England to
despoil her of her richest commerce and
trade and to render her labor wholly sub
servient TO an Eastern, sectional, and selfish
policy-Eastern lust of power, commerce,
and gain"
Now honest, patriotic Democrats, who
really desire to sustain the Government
against the rebels, and see it come out vic
torious, strong and permanent from this
fearful trial, read these facts, the declsra-
tions of the organs which your Convention
and Central Committee have endorsed, its
persistent eulogies of the rebel States and
the rebel leaders, and its persistent detrac-
tion and ridicuie of loyal men, its ardent
