future fame should and will be remem-
bered by the loyal people of this Govern
ment, as they remember Benedict Ar
mold
Resolred, That the soldiers who are
far from home, fighting the battles of our
country, and their families at home, shall
have our constant sympathy, our earnest
prayers and undivided support.
Resolred, That the Legislature of In
diana, in refusing to allow the soldiers of
our State to vote, and in refusing to con-
tribute another man, or another dollar
for the prosecution of this war for the
defence of the country, and in favor of
cessation of hostilties and dishonora-
BILE compromise with the enemies to this
government, does not meet the approba-
ton of this meeting, and does not reflect
the sentiments of the Northern States
ResoiUed, In the language of the old
hero of New Orleans, THE Federal
Union must and shall be preserved"
Mr. CunnfngnaI ga fIt,sla.
Indiana Cavalry, was hext called on, and
delivered soul-stirring and eloquent
speech. He said there could be but two
parties in times like these-for and
against the government; they who are
not with the government are against it;
that there has been from the beginning
party who sympathized with the rebels,
who opposed the Administration, and
lent every energy to cripple its endea-
vors to put down the rebellion; he was
in favor of hanging these traitors on
NortherR soil; he was not at first in fa-
yor of interfering with slavery, but the
rebels having used them against the gov
ernment, he was in favor of arming and
using them to put down the rebellion.
He was severe on Northern traitors, and
spoke feelingly of the soldiers having an
enemy in front and rear The address
was eminently suited to the occasion,
and was received with the greatest en-
thusiasm.
Mr.. St. Clair. Chaplain of the Goth
Regiment Indiana Volunteers, took the
stand amid deafening applause, and en-
tertained the audience with an eloquent
and impressive speech. He was graft
fed to meet so large an assemblage OF
the people-he could return to the boys
of the Goth with the glad tidings that the
citizens of old Warrick were still true to
their country. He, too, was in favor of
using any and every means to put down
the rebellion-he knew it could, would,
and should be put down-the efforts of
Northern traitors to the contrary not
withstanding. The day would come when
sympathizers with the rebels would reap
the reward of their misdeeds, and men
would learn to expect safety only in firm
and uncompromising loyalty to the gov
ernment. The speech elected loud and
frequent applause, and was received
with the greatest satisfaction by every
loyal citizen present.
Lieut. NegleY. of the 9Th Indiana Cay
airy, spoke at some length, and in his
quaint style made many pointed hits at
those who pretend to be Union men, but
who are worse than ''T-r-rebelS." He
was frequently interrupted by shouts of
laughter, and his jokes and anecdotes
were we'll received. He struck at North
ern traitors right and left.
Mr.. VIM Mcconnell then spoke, and
made an earnest and energetic appeal
to his fellow-citizens to lay aside every
thing else and help 10 put down the re-
! belion.
Judge J. W. B. Moore responded to
the call of the audience, and made some
brief, pertinent remarks. He was for
his country, right or wrong; the rebellion
must be put down; was in favor Of sus-
tanning the Administration in its efforts
to end the rebellion. His few remarks
were received with attention and salts
faction.
On motion of Col Bates, the proceed
ings of this meeting be published in the
Boonvllle Democrat, Evansville Journal
and loyal papers throughout the State.
The meeting then adjourned. The
Boonville Brass Band was in attendance
and discoursed sweet music, for which
they have the thanks of all present The
occasion was one long to be remembered
in Warrick-as the largest and most
enthusiastic public meeting held in
the county for a number of years. Not
one-third of the people could get into the
Court room. Everything passed off sat
isfactorily, and the large audience re-
tired with the gratifying assurance that
the Union element was strong in ouI
midst. ALVAH JOHNSON, Pres.
