of SO to 37--They will Probably Pass
WHEREAS, civil war has existed in the
United States for the past nineteen months
or more, calling forth all the energies of the
Government, and involving in fraternal strife
all that is sac1 led and dear to the American
people; and whereas, Indiana has contributed
largely and freely, of both meD and m oney,
to the demands Of the Government, under
the pledge Of the Administration that the
war should be wased solely for the mainte-
nance of the Constitution and the enforce
ment of the laws; and whereas, the Admin
istration has proven false to that pledge, and
under the tyraut's plea Of military necessity
has usurped powers unwarranted by the Con-
stitution and unsanctioned by law, the ex-
ercise Of which falls heavily alike upon the
loyal and disloyal, the innocent and the
guilty, thereby destroying all the safeguards
OF freedom and independence which the
Federal Constitution has thrown around the
citizen; and whereas, under this plea of
military necessity the President as Com
mand chief of the Army and Navy has
issued an Abolition proclaim alton giving

the people of Indiana aud 9th er loyal States

cfaring martial law all over the United
States, denying to the citizens Of 10y al States,
where civil authority should reign supreme,
the privilege of that sacred ard oh er;shed

speech and free discussion upon his Adolf
ton policy, while he might WELD the largest
army the world ever saw, for the purpose of
accomplishing his hellish scheme of eman-
cipation, without regard for the State laws,
State Constitutions or the reserved rights of
the States, and without regard for his former
views and pledges to the contrary, which
looked to the restoration of the Union. with
all the rights and Constitutions of the several
States unimpaired; and whereas, the late
