Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1863-03-16
rhe state Government.

The following semi-official dispatch from the
Governors Office in this city, appears in the Gin
cinnati Gazette of yesterday:
The record Of the Republican members speaks
fOr itself in opposing revolutionary measures; and
in regard to the expenses of the State. its benev-
oleat institutions and the care OF sick soldiers,
let their hopes be blasted. Governor Morton
will manage the affairs of the State for the next
two years without any help from them. Already
geatemen of capital have offered to advance him
money to any amount TO meet any necessary
expenses and all the benevolent institutions will
be kept open ami claims met without any delay.
So let the Butternuts go home and fret to their
hearts content. They have accomplished noths
ing, and the people will bless the noele Governor
whom they would have crushed.
The record of the Republican members does
speak for itself 1t was Revolutionary, and the
people of Indiana will brand it secession move
ment without justification, and calculated to
bring to an end constitutional government. A
prominent and talented Republican Senator
pronounced tie action of the Republican
Representatives as the meanest kind of
treason, and he intends so to denounce
it. For the ten last business days of the session
enough OF the Republican members of the House
were absent from their seats and n city to break
q quorum and prevent all legislation. The APP
preparation bills, to provide for the expenses of
the State Government, its benevolent institutions
and the care offsick soldiers, reported to
the House. but the Republican members left it
without the power to pass them. A bill had
passed the Senate appropriating two millions of
dollars as IL fund TO advance the pay of Indiana
soldiers when not promptly met by the General
Government, but this failed in the House by
son Of the absence OF the Republican members.
No measures obnoxious to the Republicans had
passed the General Assembly nor did the Repub-
lcans know that any would. vet they bolted on
mere scare, a,phantom of their own creation.
But the Gazette's correspondent says our "nobe
Governor" will manage the affairs Of the State
for the two years without any help from
them"-the Legislature.
Says the same authority: ALREADY gentlemen
of capital have offered to advance him money to
any amount to meet any necessary expenses, and
all the benevolent institutions will be kept open
and claims met without delay" That is, our
"noble Governor intends to set up separate
sponsbiIity We do not believe gentlemen of
capital" will thus invest their money 6Gentle
men Of that class are not apt to encourage an
archy, loan money upon such uncertain secu-
rity Ard we believe the Governor has too
much respect for law and too much good sense
60 disregard his constitutional obligations to en-
gage ia such visionary scheme. There are
thousands who will suffer by the failure of legis-
lation who cannot be relieved except by the Cen
ersl Assembly. Is it right that the State should
violate its good faith 10 its crelitors-to fail to
pay les Indebtedness to its own citizens2
The people will condemn in unmistakable terms
the revolutionary action of the minority in de-
festiug necessary legislation; neither will they
tolerate revolutionary measures designed to re
lieve the conduct Of a factious minority.
The Republicans attempt to justify the conduct
of the seeding members OF the House by Demo-
cratic precedents. The bolts of Democratic mi
norities never defeated necessary legislation. and
it was measure resorted to in the first place to
defeat persons, not the legislation required to
carry on and preserve the State government.
We are no apologists for boiling We believe it
better to suffer temporary evils until they be
remedied constitutionally y--through the forms of
Law, than to resort to revolutionary action to de-
feat them. The defeat OF necessary legislation
by boiling cannot fail to bring disgrace and dis
honor upon the State and republican institutions.
