Mr.. P. also qnotes, in order to prove

lowing preamble and resolutions. for which
he says he recorded (mark. he says. RE.
CORDED. } his vote with pleasure:saA Iaidi
WHEREAS, Treason as defined by the Constitu
ton of the UnitedStates, prevails 10 an alarming
extent in several OF the States of this Union; and
WHEnEAs, in view of this fact, it has become
the duty fthe President Of the United States to
call upon the military power Of the country quell
the insurrectionary and rebellious proceedings in
the said States, and TO enforce the laws and pre-.
serve the Union from descriptions: Therefore, -
i. BE enacted By The General Assembly Of tie
Stateiof indiana, That to suppress such insurrec
ton. to enforce the DAVIS of the General Govern
ment, and restore peace and good order to the
country, :he entire resources. Of the State. are
hereby rendered
D. Resolsed, That we call upon all good citizens,
irrespective Of party, to rally insold phalanx to
lives. their fortunes and th.ir sacred honors to
deem II hom the danger IN which it has been pla-
ced by the hand of traitors. la
Remember, Mr. p. says he recorded his
vote with pleasure, in favor Of the above
quoted preamble and resolutions. We
have examined the House Journal Of the
Extra session carefully and cannot find
either the resolutions or HIS name recorded
in favor Of them. On page IL we find
that "a joint resolution rendering all the
aid both in men and means which this
commonwealth can afford, to put down
treason. preserve the Union. enforce the
laws. and pefpstdass ;ihe Liberties of the
people, passed its first reading by unani-
nous conseut-the ayes and noes not hav-
ing been called; and SO Mr. Packard did
not at that time record his vote in favor OF
the resolution. We do not believe he vo-
ted for it, from the fact that afterward,
when the same resolution was on its third
reading. and the question being shall the
joint, resolution pass, the ayes and noes
having been called. Mr.. Packard lodged
did net vote at all. He was in the House
a few minutes before and q few minutes
after. Thus you see, fellow citizens, Mr.
Packard is cOnvicteI of a deliberate and
barefaecd falsehooi. Is such man wor-
thy of your suflragesg srT ~
| On page rs. House Journal. Extra ses-
sion, we find he voted against q bill ma
king an appropriation to defray the ex-
pense Of preparing to respond 10 the call
/ Of the Presiden, of the United States 70,
troops. Did he as he says. as a member
OF the extra session. vote all the men and
money that was asked for. and for every
measure that favored q vigorous prosecu-
ton Of the war? Is he not a beautiful
specimen of veracity? or rather, is he. not
Bright patriot? -. ~. * !. ,.o. . IT s'
. He also dodgedwhen the bill authorizing
Comfy Commissioners to make appropri-
Iations for the support Of families of yolun-
teers passed the House. Had he been in
favor Of the measure, it is fair to presume,
he would have voted for it instead Of dodg-
ing. Will any true patriot votefor man
who thus manifested q willingness toalst
the wives and children of our brave volun
teers suffer forlthe, nceessaries of ,life?.
