The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-03-03


1st. That our attachment 10 the Federal
Union is undated, and that we will ad-
here with unninching devotion to the
national cause. That we believe the
safety of the country and the preserva-
ton OF our liberties depend upon the
perpetuity Of the Union, and that we
view every proposition of compromise
with rebels on any other basis than that
Of unqualified submission TO the laws
and the National authority rs wholly
inadmissible and fraught with the most
dangerous consequences TO the country
I'd. That we desire that no effort
which inspires a reasonable hope OF sue
cess in restoring the Union as it was,
under the Constitution, shall be omitted;
and being solemnly impressed with the
conviction that guns alone are adequate
to the accomplishment Of that end, will
heartily support the Government in a
vigorous prosecution of the war until
the rebellion is crushed, and that we
deprecate all trucking armistices and
juggling conventions with traitors in
arms, as weak inventions Of the enemy
that cessation of hostilities for a single
day would only serve TO strengthen the
foe and weaken ourselves, and would be
base surrender of all tn advantages
we have gained in the pending struggle,
and that such q proposition cannot be
entertained by loyal men for one mo-
ment.
3D. That The highest.interests Of Indi-
ana demand the perpetuation of the
Union, and not only that the great val
ley of the Mississippi from its source to
its mouth, but all the States of this
Union from the eastern border of Maine
10 the Gulf, and from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific, shall remain under one Govern
ment and one flag, and that the Govern
ment and flag of our fathers.
4th. That the attitude Of the gallant
soldiers Of Indiana in the various armies
Of the Republic in view Of the disloyal
propositions which have been introduced
into the Legislature of our State, chal-
lenges our admiration and excites our
gratitude. The voices that come TO us
over mountain and river, aud from many
bloody fields in the ringing accents Of
patriotism, evince the high resolve of our
citizen soldiery TO sustain the Govern
ment of their fathers, ald TO restore the
supremacy of the flag of the republic
over every foot of the soil embraced in
the Federal Union
9th That we believe in every meas
ure which President Lincoln has adopt
ed for the msiutenace of the Union, and
restoration of the National authority; he
has been actuated by the highest patriot
ism and the most loyal devotion to the
interests Of the people, and we pledge
ourselves to hearty support of the Adj
ministration in all its measures for the
suppression of tho rebellion
6 h. That our distinguished Gov, o.
p. Morton is entitled to the gratitude OF
the people of Indiana for his patriotic
and unlring efforts in behalf of the
cause Of the country for his able ad-
ministralion of the affairs of the State
civil aud military, and tor his devotion
TO the comfort and welfare of the lndi-
ana troops; that to his energy, foresight
and patriotism so gloriously sustained by
the conduct of our soldiers in the field
arc We indebted for the proud position
which our beloved State now occupies
among her loyal sisters that in behalf
OF our soldiers, as we'll az for the honor
aud safety of our State, we demand Of
the General Assembly that they pass no
law or measure depriving the Governor
of any of the powers or prerogatives
granted him by the Constitution, or hith-
erto accorded to his office by law or Gus,
tom.
9TH. That the loyal people Of Indiar q
are determined to maintain their allegi-
ance to the National Government at all
hazards; that they will never submit to
the withdrawal of the State of Indiana
from the Union, nor TO the formation of n
Northwestern COnfederacy; that expert
ence has shown that the peaceable disin-
tegration of any portion of the Union is
impossible, and we adjure the people of
our loyal States to rebuke, in such terms
as will need no REPETITION, all men who
strive 10 SOW discord between the differ
ent States, or who speak Of reconstruc-
tion of the Government, by leaving any
State or section out Of the Union.
9Th. That resistance to law is revolu-
tieaaFy in ils tendency, and that any at
tempt TO embarrass the Government in
the execution Of the revenue, CONSUMPTION
or any other law of the United States,
will be promptly met aud suppressed by
the loyal people of Indiana.
9th. That 20 our distinguished guest,
Governor Andrew johnson of Tennessee,
we tender our heartfelt thanks for his
firm and patriotic adherence TO the Ma.
tional cause; that we hold up his example
of faithful loyalty TO the young men of
America as worthy of their imitation I;
and we tender, through Governor John
son, TO his oppressed aud prosecuted
loyal fellow citizens of Tennessee, our
sympathies in their Affections and our
hopes that the DAY of deliyeranee may
speedily come.
10th. That the misoreants in our midst
who attempt 90 create dissatisfaction in
the ranks OF our gallant soldiers, and in-
duce them 10 desert the colors made
glorious by their valor on repeated battle
Aelds, are meaner traitors than the armed
rebels of the South; that they are en-
titled to, and will receive, the scorn OF
all honorable men; that they are more
DANGEROUS enemies to the soldier than the
armed hosts in his front, inasmuch as the
latter strike only at the life of the sol
dier, while the former seek the deslruo-
ton Of his honor and self.respeot, which
TO the true soldier are dearer than life
1lth. That we pledge ourselves, col,
leciively and individually, 10 look to and
provide for the comfort aud support Of
the wife and family OF the colder who
ia absent in the Geld battling for the res
toralion Of the Government
