companies raised here to night. He wanted il to
go forth on Monday morning. in the newspapers,
that indianapolis had done her duty. Next to
our devotion and duty to God, was our duty to
our country. He himself would 60 to this war
with his musket on his shoulder, and his KNAPP
sack on his back. he would take no commission
from His Excellency. He would go as a high
private, and he had put down his name on the
roll. The hour had come when he had promised
his own heart. at the commencement of these
difficulties, TO 60 and maintain the glory and
honor Of the Stars aud Stripes.
GOV. MORTON AGAIN.
His Excellency, following Mr.. Wallace. said
that the rebels, to aid their cause, had ccniscated
everything-had used ali the means ON their
side, even to the con6scation of debts, 10y which
citizens of Indiana had lost more than 50 ,0O0.-
600. To make a man a slave, il was enough
that he had a drop of negro blood in his veins;
and to make a man a soldier in their conscript
armies, it was enough that he had a drop of
white blood. The rebels against US did every
thing-used everything. Shall we not do the
sameG Wallace had volunteered. He should
take him at his word, and let him go as Il private,
comforting no commission on him.. These brave
young men, Harrison and Wallace, were patriot
cally rushing to the field. Will not thousands of
the young men, the middle aged men, of Indiana,
initiate their examplef Shall the blood already
shed go unavengedf Shall we disbonor the cause
in which so many brave men have so nobly died2
If we shall be defeated in this contest. anarchy
will reign over the land. OH then, what shall
become of us2 Richmond was the last strong
hold of the rebels. Let us drive them from that
and this rebellion is at an end. Names from
those able to 60, and means from those rich and
enable, was what wanted tonight. He had a
profound curiosity to ascertain how many would
respond.
BENJAMIN HARRISON, ESQ.,,
Succeeded Gov. Morton. He hoped he came
from better stock than TO hesitate in this emer-
gency to raise his feeble arm in defence of his
Government. The sainted spirit of a soldier
who had died for his country, was a better spouse
to his bereaved wife, than a craven husband at
home.
He had counted the cost and he had enrolled
his name, turning his back upon all the bright
anticipations of his profession as a lawyer and his
Office as Supreme Court Reporter, to go as a pri-
vate. Like his friend Wallace, he would accept
no commission from His Excellency.
GOV. MORTON THE THIRD TINE.
His ExcelleYcy, again taking the platform.
made a strong appeal to the citizens of Indianap
oils. Beyond any other city in the State, Indi
annapolis, during the war. had been prosperous.
Armies had been gathered here and the money of
the Federal Government had been freely expended
mere. AfSBudlS UdQ DttD Dullt anu were u Ot
built and ammunition manufactured here. Bust
ness was prosperous and every progress and
improvement was the word. Notwithstanding
This il had been said, and he feared there was too
much truth in it, that there was no town so dead
to the vital interests OF the country as Indianapo-
lis-a town which had been hourishing and fat
tening on this war-a town which now apparent
ly was about to fail in coming up in this emer-
gency. He had gone on the public thOrOughfares.
He had earnes tly talked with gentlemen. With
one accord, almost, all made excuses. This one
was building houses; that one employed a great
number of hands. and another could not by any
means leave his business. If there should not
be more unanimity in favor of the Government
in other places in the State than there was in In
dianapolis we were gone. But he would tell the
people one thing. The army must be filed. If
il can not be done in one way it will be done in
another. If voluntary enlistments failed, con-
s~cription must be resorted to. Before the lapse
of thirty DAYS CONSUMPTION may be a fact in In
diana. OH how the blush of shame would man.
tie his cheek if he should be compelled to resort
to conscriptiOn in his own beloved and native
State that in this war had approved herself 30
glorious. He prayed God that Indiana would
maintain the proud position she had hitherto
achieved.

Wallace, Harrison and Alfred, the meeting was

MEETING AT THE STATE HOUSE YARD.

sonic Hall, which was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, the hundreds who could not obtain an en-
trance were addressed in the State House yard to
the same laudable purpose and patriotic effect by
eloquent speakers.
