we have no doubt oil agreed In the sentiment
for the meeting was undoubtedly penencen'
and glorious reunion of the staunoh Democracy
OF that noble State. Mt
The character Of those present was q sure
and positive guarantee that the real dc.

left their harvest homes, trusting to Pfovi-
dence for good weather % preservation 10

demands. The yeomanry OF Indiana demand
the perpetuity of the Government under the
Consultation as framed by their forelathers,
and the preservation Of the Union as OWNED BY
them in that equitable instrument. They insist
that the constitutional liberty Of the people shall
be preserved and continued, that the great car
dual principles which have made the nation
the greatest on earth must be preserved by the
conservative and true Union men OF the coun-
