The people ol the N illi must yield up iho heresy of Abolitionism, or else yield up the bless-ings of the Un on. Abolitionism and the Union are incompatible—the one or tho oilier must triumph. A war for Abolitionism is a war against tho Lmon ; a war against Aholiii nwn is a war for the Union. Abolitionism is moral trea-on, and but 1 >r the foi ms of laws with which it is clothed by the Administration, is actual legal treason. .No patriot can bo an Abol t oi ist. 8- That tho interest of the white raco, a- well as the black demands that the con-dition and locality of the Jailer should not be interfered with ; and a war, or legisla-tion, or Presidential proclamations to ac-complish the purpose ol the negroe's free-d- in and consequent migration to the North are acts of flagrant violation of tbo Consti-tution, and in wicked disregard of tho people's voice, and tl e best interests of the country, and all such a^ts ought to be con1 stitutionalily rosisledby an outraged peo-ple 4. That President Lincoln's schotno of "C impeusated Emancipation," which pro-poses to tax the people or Indiana to libe-ral e the slaves of the South, is uuconstitu-tional, and monstrous iniquity, which a tax ridden and over t urdeued people will not subniii to. The freemen of Indiana will not consent to impoverish themselves and their families to carry out that insane and wicked policy, but will resist it by every constitutional means in their power. 5 Thatthe system of arbinary arrests, ;, ordinance, and it .l|i(j wanton disregard of the great Writ of ipl shed nothing Jjl()0l.iyi commonly called tho habeas cor-ruin by all you hav« done.- . by tho Cabinet of Washington are acts taken advauVage of 60,000 of lyranny and usurpation, justly alarming '■" '" 1 ''-'■-■ th :~'••'" t0 lho verS° ■''■ to a free people, against which "the State on, ai are openly pre- oi Tnt|jana protests with indignation and in I fatal thrust — lne name 0f constitutional liberty she demands that the accused system shall so within her borders ; and wo declare the unalterable determination of the people to maintain the liberty of speech, the liber-lv ol tin' press, tbe right to the writ of ha-beas corpus and speedy tiial by jury, at ever) hazard ol blood and treasure. 6 That the State of Indiana, on account of 11• -1 devotion totbe Union, and her gc-ographical position and commercial inter-est, never will consent to any settlement up HI a basis ol disunion or a policy which shall separate her from the Slate bordering upon tie Missippi River. lTer highest in-terest demands tbe perpetuation of tbe Un-ion and especially that the great Valley of the Mississippi, from Us source to its mouth, shall inn au i under one government and one flag , I bat 'he war in which wc are en-i ii ouj hi to cease a-soon as it can be brought ' i an honor..ble and sat'sfactory , ui,in., i i ; ami upon that subject the |, p|c who are 'ruing its burdens have a r glii to -j oak.

Resolved, That in the event of the pres-ent

Convention, we hereby, in the name of tbe
people of the State of Indiana, invite each
and every State in the Federal Union, in
eluding the so-called Confederate States, to
meet delegates from the State of Indiana,
in Convention at Nashville, Tennessee, on
the first Monday, it being the first day of
June, 1863, each of said States to send as
quisition which true patriotism shall de
mand, for the purpose of restoring the
Union and preserving our constitutional
;i v. yet wc wo are opposed to a war
for tho liberation of the slaves ; and while
that policy is maintained by the Adminis-

Messrs. Editors:—Shortly after the Ad-valorem
Banner was started by Frank 1
and the adoption of these resolutions brinu- ,.r . . .
to naught alike "conservatives" and »de| W,laon> ! ^mo a subscriber to the paper,
structives." Thia-^the language of the! »nd soon after this event, some of the op-
Enquirer and our people will rejoice. Our'| ponents of the measure expressed great as-loyalty
is vindicated—vindicated by the* u.nishraent at me for patronizing svcha
Richmond Enquirer, and we can once nor.,;^^ d whcn Ug pab,icaticn
hold op our heads. ■ , * " ' ,r .
But let us explain, and possibly the En-j was """ponded, they were no doubt grati-quirer
will not bo so jubilant or so ready t< v fied that the paper, as they ea:d, had caved
torgive U6 for all past jlransgressions.— j] in, and that I was deprived of my daily. 1
These resolutions that it compliments origi |
nated with and were introduced by Cantj*
Gri.Bom, the champion of the Ten Regi.
ment bill, and every one of the fifteen who)
voted against the resolutions pledging th
State to the prosecution of tho war, vote *
-.'.so against the Ten Regiment bill; and s [
it seems that some of those who oppose5!;
the Ten Regiment bill are opposed .< »P«n the authority of a respon^ble gentle
cured but little for tho loss under tbe cir-cumHtances,
and so expressed myself at the
time to my jubilant opponents Time passed
on, and I beard nothing of the ex-Editor,
that I now remember, until after tho Stan
dard had made some charges, as it said,
and the doctrine of Popular Slate Sover-iknowledged
as a fundamental
in of the Government. The people
ol the N illi must yield up iho heresy of
Abolitionism, or else yield up the bless-ings
of the Un on. Abolitionism and
the Union are incompatible—the one
or tho oilier must triumph. A war
for Abolitionism is a war against
tho Lmon ; a war against Aholiii nwn is a
war for the Union. Abolitionism is moral
trea-on, and but 1 >r the foi ms of laws with
which it is clothed by the Administration,
is actual legal treason. .No patriot can bo
an Abol t oi ist.
8- That tho interest of the white raco,
a- well as the black demands that the con-dition
and locality of the Jailer should not
be interfered with ; and a war, or legisla-tion,
or Presidential proclamations to ac-complish
the purpose ol the negroe's free-d-
in and consequent migration to the North
are acts of flagrant violation of tbo Consti-tution,
and in wicked disregard of tho
people's voice, and tl e best interests of the
country, and all such a^ts ought to be con1
stitutionalily rosisledby an outraged peo-ple
4. That President Lincoln's schotno of
"C impeusated Emancipation" which pro-poses
to tax the people or Indiana to libe-ral
e the slaves of the South, is uuconstitu-tional,
and monstrous iniquity, which a tax
ridden and over t urdeued people will not
subniii to. The freemen of Indiana will
not consent to impoverish themselves and
their families to carry out that insane and
wicked policy, but will resist it by every
constitutional means in their power.
5 Thatthe system of arbinary arrests,
;, ordinance, and it .l|i(j wanton disregard of the great Writ of
ipl shed nothing Jjl()0l.iyi commonly called tho habeas cor-ruin
by all you hav« done.- . by tho Cabinet of Washington are acts
taken advauVage of 60,000 of lyranny and usurpation, justly alarming

the unalterable determination of the people
to maintain the liberty of speech, the liber-lv
ol tin' press, tbe right to the writ of ha-beas
corpus and speedy tiial by jury, at
ever) hazard ol blood and treasure.
6 That the State of Indiana, on account
of 11• -1 devotion totbe Union, and her gc-ographical
position and commercial inter-est,
never will consent to any settlement
up HI a basis ol disunion or a policy which
shall separate her from the Slate bordering
upon tie Missippi River. lTer highest in-terest
demands tbe perpetuation of tbe Un-ion
and especially that the great Valley of

in C ingn -s are instructed, and our Repre-
Lalivea requested, to use ail the power
