Kcsolutiou Adopted by the Indiana Democratic .state (onieutlon.

The following platform of n-solutions wa unanimously adopted by the Indiana Ih-iuocratic State on vi-ntion, in hcsiinat Indianapolis on the loth : It U the opinion of tlie Democracy of the State of Indiana in convention h-miiiIjI.-I, thil th.' present Ad.ri i nl.t ration ha proven it-elf unworthy t lie conti.-nce of the people of the United '.Stat.-, in pniof of which we submit the tollowiiij' facts : It ha overthrown, hy force, the vornItiflit of the Sute ,f ly.uisiana, and prevented the officer elected hy the people of that State from taking tlifl Ohltion to w hi. h they were chosen, and fur purtv purpoe ha su taiiu d the uurpflij; Stale otlicer in their iilil.iwful seizure of the Government of the Mate. It ha corrupted the source of public juii.e, ny squ .n.i.-rinjf money through the Department of Justice to aid it party In North Carolina, Alkali and other State. It ha iiuted men tooltice who have been proven corrupt and pmtligate, and ha removed from ofli--e those who asited in t.rniifinz t.'ie d -pre.j-ition and corruption of ii apMinii-e to iigiit. It ha, bv a gross abuse of Mwer, fanne.1 out the i-olleetion of tlie revenue to corrupt and uiiprineipled men, w ho have defrauded like the Government and the eoile. It h apiHiinted to otll -e in the Distri. t of Columbia a Ixxly .f men w hose corruption far excelled anv'of which we Ime record, and uiorte.t thrm In their oppn-nion and robbery of the people and the Government. iraUsiiig the los of million of dollar to the Government of the I'nited State and enpe of the District of Columbia through varhiu ueiianmeni or trie ifovernmeot. It ha reeklessly .pjan-tere tlie money renerve and tlie public domain of the jieople, and corrupted the civil nervlee of the country.

The reader of the Journal inut have imti.a-d ti e m-eiit onb-r for thi expedition, but probably few, ouUide of the tnnim stationed in the Northwest, have any clear idea of the locution and Inlen'st attaching to the Hja k Hills. To ien. :uster, that luckiest of all lucky leader, whose iirud. nt and siii-elul conduct of the icdowstoiie expedition, some time since, brouglit him o many honors, ha the conduct of the precnt exploration la-en entrusted. The choice could hardly have tall, -ti mi a f"ttT man. We have called Cell.

Just about the (urictiori line of the Territories of Dakota, Wyoming and Montana, lie. a n-gion never yet ireiietrated by thu American trapin rs, and conn ituting tlie only H-maniing stmngliold f the Sioux. Tin-re are hills then, one of them called Hear r.utte, and a stream, called by the old French voyageur, lh-lle Foun he. When iliee are, no one knows exactly, hut the Indians. The French, always nion successful In their Indian policy than any Anglo-Saxon race, once held friendly relation with the Sioux, and their tra-M-r and traders wan-'ercd a. freely m and about 'he Hlack Hill a they do today in Hudson's Hay territory. AngloSaxon gnul and aggressiveness have chatigiil the relation between civilijitioii and the In-lians. south of tlie British sessinns.
