lied warfare that will strengthen our
cause and weaken the rebellion, and that

constantly finding fault with the Admin
istration and expressing doubts about
our ability to suppress the rebellion, and
who talk of peace by eonciiiation, com
promise, and the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy, are practical
enemies of our country, and this trea-
sonable talk should not be tolerated; !;
and we believe all Federal officers, civil
military, or naval, who talk thus should
be removed Immediately.

to Gov. Morton for the faithful manner
in which he has discharged his duties,
and for his efficiency in providing for the
wants of our troops.

in refusing to receive the Governor S
Message, degraded itself and wantonly
insulted the Governor, and we hereby
express our unqualified condemnation of
that act; and further, that the resolutions
passed by faction Of that body pledging
themselves TO withhold men and money
for the prosecution of the war may ex-
press the sentiments of the rebel sympa-
, thisers, but it does not express the senti-
ments of the loyal people of Indiana.
+. ReS0lred, That those men in the North
who are advocating Northwestern seces-
sion, are the basest traitors in our coun-
try, and we hereby pledge ourselves to dc
8 II in our power to bring the leaders Of
