Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1863-11-30

Mr.. Flagg, of Ohio, alluded to the original
organization of the Republican party at n small
conference at Pittsburg. That IL was the duty
of the War Democracy to split the old Demo
cratic party in two, from head to foot. and throw
the disloyal part overheard, aud it was the duty
of the conservative Republicans to pursue the
same course and throw the Writings and Phil
lipses overheard.
Judge Gooding. of Indiana, said that there was
a people behind the delegates to this convention.
He was States right Democrat OF the jackson
kind. If the people, after reading the action OF
this conference, wanted national convention,
they could can their State conventions and APP
point their delegates.
A. P. Wood, of Ohio, wanted a candidate for
President for whom be could vote. He did not
want to be again put ia a position he was at the
last Ohio election. He couldn't vote for Vallan-
digham. and didn't like Brough He believed
that the conference was right-their principles
we're right. aud that was great deal in Presi-
Dental contest He was satisfied they would
succeed
Mr. Taylor, of Illinois thought that there was
no use in coming together unless they could
agree. He did not come there by authority oi
the people of his State but upon bis own voliton
and with the honest desire to unite with the Wal
| Democracy; he was nc Republican-never had a
sympathy that way. or he would long ago have
attached himself to that party and voted Tor the
man who has brought all this trouble upon the
country.
Mr. Burns of Ohio, repealed the charge that
Gov. Tod and Brough were War Democrats
| Tod was elected on the Republican ticket in
| 1861. against Hugh j. Jewett, one of the bes
Union men in Ohio; and Brough bad just beer
elected by Republican votes, with the aid of a
| few War Democratic votes. They we're not Wal
Democrats
Col Stilwell could not vote for fixing the
time of holding a national convention, and, il
this conference saw proper to fix upon such fu
ture action, he would withdraw, as he would MOI
be justified by his people in so voting.
A gentlemen from Ohio flew into passion
he did not like threats. Ohio would not b,
intimidated-she could threaten as well as In
diana
The original resolution was lost and No. IL
was adopted.
THE MINORITY REPORT.
Mr.. Taylor, of Illinois, called attention of tn,
conference To the minority report on resolutions
and hoped some gentleman would move tina
they be referred to the prospective NatiOna
/ War Democratic Convention The motion wa
| lost
Mr.. Taylor then moved the adoption of til,
resolutions. ana proceeded to read them. The
following are the first two; the further copying o
them by our reporter was unceremoniously stop
ped by the Chairman, who remarked that thel
were not for publication:
] "That the American Union. well as the pro
gress of Democratic principles, require the tota
divorce of the party of Jefferson and jackson
from all association or sympathy with slavery.
THAT the rebel States, by the action of thei
public authorities, waged upon the nation, il
violation of the Constitution. and that such wa
was an abdicatiou of all legitimate State author
itv."
The substance of the remaining resolutions
was that the rebellion of the Southern States hst
destroyed the last vestage of slavery and enfran
chsed the African race, and that the proclama
ton of emancipation wasa glorious measure, ant
went far toward elevating them to social and pc
litical equality; and that when the war was ende'
il would be right and proper 10 mete out on
great western domain to these heretofore poor
enslaved brothers. He sustained his motion b,
an extreme radical speech-takiug the wiGes
latitude, in favor of eonslizng them with tn
white citizen and soldier in all respects.
The feeling between the delegates from Ohit
and Indiana anything but pleasant, and
great deal of recrimination ensued. Speed
after speech was made on the minority report
when the previous question moved, but
before being put, Mr. Flagg withdrew his reso
luton, intended 10 cover the ground of the mi
nority resolutions. which disposed of the discus
sion Mr. Smith, of Indiana, then moved to In.
the minority report on the table The motion
prevailed.
Mr. Flagg, of Ohio, then introduced the follow
ing resolution. which was adopted:
| Resol1ed, That the only legitimate purpos
for which the war may be waged is to suppress
the rebellion, the war must cease as soon as tn
rebellion is at an end; and we would hail witt
joy any indication by the reope of a rebellion
State to return to their allegiance, yet we shal
not regret if sa cry falls the legitimate conse
uuence OF the war
