you, will any considerable por-
ton of You turn a deaf ear to the

Yes, we know you will:
MURFREEsBoRo, Jan. 23.-The resolu-
tions adopted by the officers of tho In
diana regiments have been heartily ap-
proved by all the regiments to which
they have been submitted. They are
accompanied by preamble, stating that
while they cheerfully acquiesce in the
policy which denied them voice in the
late elections, nevertheless they desire
participation in preliminary counsels
which are to shape the popular ideas Of
the State and consequently control the
actions of its representatives in the Cen
eral Assembly. They speak as soldiers
whose lives are staked upon the issue of
the present struggle, and as United
States citizens, because at no distant day
| the survivors are TO again share the re-
sponsibility of citizenship. The preamble
then deprecates divided counsels, and
dwells upon the advantages of unity in
securing victory, saving life, and re-es-
tablishing the Government. The signers
present themselves as citizens petition
ing without apology for what they have
a right TO expect, either as citizens or
soldiers, battling for tho integFiey of the
Union. They say: 1--WE ask that you
give this war a cheerful and hearty sup
port, that you will strengthen and en-
courage every department Of the Gov
ernmnnt, that you will pour out the
treasure Of your State as your soldiers
have poured out their blood, that you
will abstain from heated political dis
cussiOns and party wrangling, until the
the Government is Te-established, that
you will resist the iafernal spirit which
would waste victory in humiliating COM
promise, that you will sacrifice every
thing excepting liberty and political
equality, TO national interests, shat you
will sustain all officers OF the State and
General Government in their efforts TO
subdue this unholy rebellion; especially
that you will sustain our worthy Gov
ernor, whose energies have been so en-
tirely devoted 10 the Government and it's
supporters. We appeal to you especially
TO support him, because it is chiefly to
his unceAsing care and labor that VIC
have to attribute our present proud posi-
ton among the loyal States of the Union;
and for the further reason that he has
demonstrated by acts that he is an hon
est and jealous patriot We appeal Ia
you TO sustain him in the good work OF
administering TO the wants Of our unfor-
tunate comrades, stricken in battle or by
diseasei that you will confer on him all
necessary authority, and place in his
hands all requisite means to carry out
the good work he begun.
