Mr. HKxDRIcxs iIIustrated in his speech how
the labor Of the Northwest would become tribu-
t.ry to the eupidity of New England and the
Eastern States. If the outlets of the Mississippi
were closed to her commerce and trade; hence he
argued il union rendered impossible by the
folly aud wickedness of the party in power, then
the mighty Northwest must look to and protect
her own interests. Is there a sensible man in
the Northwestern States who is identified with
their prosperity and progress but will
subscribe the sentiments he expressed
as being wise and jusil Mr.. HENDRICKS did not

eracy. Nothing he said in that speech or any
other can even be distorted into any such inten-
ton. He spoke only Western man. deter
mined to maintain Western interests. This is
Governor MoRroS's proof of the intention of the
Democracy Of the Northwest To slide out of the
Union and establish separate confederacy.

The Governor furnishes another evidence to
sustain bis charge of disloyaty against the De-
mocrscy of Indiana He saws that Senator
WOLFE offered some resolutions in the last Legis
lsture looking TO the separation of the West from
New England. We quote his own language:
Again, during the last session OF the Lecisla
turs. Mr. Wolfe, Democrat. offered series of
resolutions in the Senate. declaring that if peace
~ere sot made within certain time. (about two
months) Indiana would proceed nv her own com

pendent Of The General Government and would
propose the other States of the Northwest TO

to lay the resolufions on the table Here is proof

Whv did not His Excellency give the resolu-
tons? The reason Is evident They will not
bear the construction he places upon them. or
anything like IL. We have not space for the Sc
ries OF resolutions in full offered BY Mr.. WoLEE,
but we will quote two Of them show as i his
practice. that the Governor wilfullv fasifes the
record:
20. That the State OF Indiana. on account Of
her devotion 10 the Union. and her geographical
position and commercial interests never will
consent u sny settlement upon n basis of dis
union. or policy which shall separate her from
the States bordering upon the Mississippi Her
highest interest demands the perpetuaton of the
Union. and especially that the Great VALLEY Of
the Mississippi. IRON its source 10 It's mouth
shall remain under governments and one
flag"
This is of the resolutions that the Demo
Gratis refused to lay the table. but referred to
an appropriate committee Is there sentmen;
expressed in il 10 which any citizen of Indiana,
or the Northwest. cannot subscribe!
Again:

ought to cease soon as il be brought TO
an honorable and satisfactory termination, and
