That if the party in power bad ihown the iama deaire toaettle, by emicable adjustment, our dissension before hoatNitiee bad actually cotnmenoed, that the Administration has recently exhibited to avoid a war with oar ancient enemy Ureal Kritain, we confidently believe that peace and harmony would now reign throughout all our borders. (. That the maintenance of the Union poo the principles of the Federal Conatitutjon ehould le the controling object of all who profess loyalty to the Government and In our judgment this purpose can only be accomplished, by the ascendency of a Union party in the Southern States, which shall, by at eounter revolution, displace those who control and direct the present rebellion. That no effort to oreate or sustain such a party oan be successful which is not based pen a definite settlement of the questions t issue between the two sections, and we therefore demand that some such settlement be made by additional constitutional guaranty, either initiated by act of Congress or through the medium of a National Convention. T. That the Republican party has fully demonstrated its inability to couduci the Government through it. present difficulties. 8. That we are utterly opposed to the twm heresies, Northern sectionalism and Nouthern secession, aa mimical lo the Constitution; and that freemen, as tbev value the boon of civil liberty and the peace of the country, should frown Indignantly uyon them. e. That in this National emergency the Democracy of Indiana, banishing all feeling of passion and resentment, will recollect only their duty te the whole country; that this war should not be waged in the spiiitof conquKtomubjuf ation nor for the purpose of overthrowing or oterf.ring with th. rights or institutions ot the States, but to defend and maintain the snpremaey of the Constitution, and lo proaerve the Un ten with all the dignity, equality and rights o. the several States uuim paired, and that as mod si these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease. 10. That we will sustain with all ourenerf lea, a war for tho maintenance of the Constlutioo, and of the integrity of the Union, nndtr tat Comi(u(ie?i; but we are oppoied to a war for the emancipation of the negroes, or shesubjugatiou of the Southern States. 11. That the purposes avowed and advocated ey the Northern duunionisU, to liberate and arm the negro slaves, ia unconstitutional, insulting to loyal eitisens, a disgrace to the age, is calculated to retard Ihe auppression of the re tollion and meeUour condemnation. 12. That the total diaregard of the writ of Aeisoi corpus by the authorities over us, and the seiiure and imprison i n(( of eitisens of loyal states where the judiciary ia in full operation, without warrant of lew and without assigning any eauae arriving to the party arrested any opportunity of defence, are flagrant violations of the Constitution and most alarming acts of usurpation ef every lover of his country, of every man who prises the security and blessings of life, liberty and properly. 13. That li berty of speech and of the press are guaranted to the people bv ihe Constitution, and none but a usurper would deprivo them of these rights; they are inestimable to the citisen for. enidable to tv rants onlv. Aud the attempts .which have been made aince our present uniortuaate troubles to mussle the piess and stifle free discussion ere exercises of despotio power against which freedom revolts and which can.t be tolerated without converting freemen into slaves. 14. That the aeiaure of Slidell and Mason, on board a neutral vessel, on the high seas, was either in accordance with international law, and so legal I or else in violation of such law, and so illegal. If the former, we lament that our .tinn ho, bnnn hum iliated bv their surrender. enoV a tii i f the latter, It was the duty of the Administration al once to nave uisavoweu the sot of their oflioer, and instead of incarcerating the captives in Kurt Warren, to have immediately repaired the wroug by placing ihem, jf..uuhMlil, inih.iame condition in whisk that oilicer had fouud them. In either event, the action of ihe Administration was vacillating and cowardly, and degrading the digaity of a great nation. li.

Congrcis in July, 1SG1, soltumlj tlolarod them to be "to defuud and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve tho Utiion with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several Statea unimpaired." No other war oould or would be justified ly the civil isation and Christianity of the age. If the people of the United States nuffur this war to be diverted from tlifse ob jects we shall bring upon ourselves the execrations of mankiud and the just yengeanco of a righteous God. How is this war to be wagedf Congress, speaking of the nation, in the tame declaratory resolution, una eaiu "that this war is no! waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of cuwiuest or subjugation or purpose of overthrowinn or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the seceded States." This formal declaration of the purposes and objects of the war, made the very day after our reverse at the battle of Dull Run, was but reiteration by the American people, through their representatives having authority to speak for thorn, of the instructions given by the President of tha United States through the bead of the Slate Department (Mr. Suward) to the Representatives of our government abroad, and we Hand to day committed before the world that for no other purpose than the objects stated in the resolution referred to, shall this war be waged; yet the controlling majority of the sameCongress at its last session was clamorous for a change of policy in the oonduct of the war, and "have even assailed the Presi dent because he did not repudiate not only their own declarations and his instructions, to whioh I have referred, but also his deliberate announcement in his inaugural address, that he had "no purpose directly or indirectly, to interfere with tho institution of slavery in the States where it exists" that he believed be had "no lawful right to do so." The dominant party in Congress would repudiate not only their own solemn pledges, but in their mad zeal would have the Chief Executive of this once proud and honored nation, respected at humc and abroad, violate his solemn pledge, voluntarilv given in tho nddrcss lo which I have referred. Xor 'is this all. They would have him disgrace his oath of office; for in the extract I have read he says he has no constitutional, or, to use own languago, "no lawful right to interfere with ths institution of slavery in the States where it exists;" and they would have him, who has taken a soleuiu oath to seo that the laws aro faithfully executed and to preserve, protoct and defend the Constitution of his country, violate that Constitution and that oath, and would compel him to do that which he has Mid he had no lawful right to do. Who that has observed the discussion. in Congress for tho last eight Dmnths that does not know that thrco-fourths of it time was consumed in dlscusi-ion.i and proposition for a change of policy in the the oonduct of tho war, looking to the coercion by legislative action of the President, who, by the Constitution, is the CoiBiuatider-in-Chiof of our armies, aad thereby charged with the conduct of the war, into tho adoption of the policy ao olamorously contended for by the ultra element that controlled the Congross at the session just closed. They even raited a "Committee on the Conduct of the War," with "Hrnve Hen Wade" at its head, and tho Senator from Michigan, who in February, 1SC1, thought "the Union would not be worth a curse withouta little blood-letting;" by his side.

I have said, aud repeat again, for no other purpose thau the objects stated in the resolution of July, 18(11, can we, justifiably wage this war? Against whom is this war waged? Against rebellious citizens who have combined together to destroy tho Constitution and sever the Union under it. It is only in the name of the Constitution and for the preserva tion of tho Government created by it that we can, as a Christian people curry on this war. The moment we attempt to divert it from these objects we disre gard our constitutional obligations, deare they are no longer binding upou us. and by thus acting we placo ourselves side by side with the rebel in arms and become with him equally guilty. The rebel in arms who violates tho Constitution for the purpose of severing the Uuion is a traitor. lie who through our army or otherwise violates the constitution for the purpose of "overthrowing or interfering with the established institu tions" of the States or any one of them, is likewise a traitor. Fellow citizens, as an individual I have probably a deeper interest in the maintenance of the Constitution and the preservation of the Union than any one under the sound of my voice. I left the Capital of my State after recording my vote in tho convention against the ordinance of secession, fully impressed with the conviction that it was not good for me to bo there. I stand to-day iudictcd upon a charge of treason against the State of Virginia, and a price is set upon my head. If this Union is permitted to be dostioyed and s Southern Confederacy established, I could not live in it there would' bo no place of safety for me in my native Stale. Prom its soil 1 would have to go an outcast and a wan derer. Were I governed by feelings of resentment and revenge, was my nature vindicative, I have more to tempt o iu that direction thauanyono of my knowl edge, certainly more than any citizen of a non-slaveholding Htate. Hut 1 cherish no resentments, I have no revengeful feelings in connection with this sliuggle. My (lovernmeut, the (lovernmciit formed l,., v l. .. ,,,! I,;. .u,.i,;,,i. .ml

Never did I feel the slightest alarm for the ultimate triumph of my country until during the last session of Congress, when 1 saw a controlling, working uia jority carrying out the policy of such

ecu as Weiidd Phillips then, and ant till then, I felt there was danger. I uev-

er doubted the power of the loyal people peace, but ui b't'li party and tectional 'excitement before '.ilia war brvke out, 1 j should Lae but little hope for uiy eouu-, ; try. The suffrages of the 'people wore obtained by denying that which Henry I lay and l'aniel coster, una otner men of like fidelity and renown, had told the people aud warned them agaiust, from l'liiCC lu tllu be"ato' Uou9c "nd 00 the hustings for twenty long years. Again and again had the people been warned of the consoqueuccs that would inevitably follow the agitators of Giddings, Sumner, d id omnc yenui. To day one represents you aboard, aud the other is the leader of his party in the Scuale. The latter introduces his proposition one day to reduce States to Territories. His party associates denounce it. A few days thereafter his party friend from New York introduces it under the guise of a bill to establish proviisonal governments (or the seceded States. Look at the Journals of the last session and you will see that almost every successful proposition of sri anti-slavery character Was foreshaJduwed by the Senator from Massachusetts, although it may be, when first introduced by him, it received but little favor. I have sometimes thought this was the result of an understanding. Certain it is that such men as he compose the majority of Congress aud he leads them or they adopt his opiuiotis or incorporate thvm into tho legislation of Congress. Well may Millard Fillmoro Bay that Congress had undone all that our armies have dime. These men went, as I have remarked, in time of peace, but of high party aud scotional excitement, before the people, told them there would he no war, no dissolution; that the South could not bo kicked out of the Union, could not live out ofit that the Southern country was not sufficiently fertile and fruitful to broad aud provision its inhabitants or to support an army. In an even hour the people listened to their teachings, disregarded the counsels of the patriotic dead who were coteniporaneuus with the founders of the government harkened to the deceitful sayings of ambitious men and confided to them power aud place. Now that war has come and our country is fast becoming ouo vast military camp, these same meu would use the power thus obtained to ohange the purposes of the war. I shud der when I reflect upon the madness of the fanaticism that seoms to have Beiied upon a portion of our people. There arc those who would make the earth one great repository of dead men.

It is for this that Indiana has sent tlm man is mistaken who believe! that the people of the Southern States can be exterminated and the country conquered square inilos of territory, inhabited by hostile people, is what never has been douo. To exterminate such a people has, and in my opinion, never will be done. jThe prosocution of this war upon any such an idea; for any such purpose, will result as Mr. Clay predicted ihe agitation of the question of slavery in tho free Status would result ; "First destroy all harmony and finally lead to disunion, poverty aud perpetual war, the extermination of the African race, ultimate military despotism." A small pinch of gunpowder given to a chicken with gapes, will effect a cure in from one to three hours time, and leave poor chick healthy.

In answer to the charge of some unscrupulous and lying partisans that tho Mass Convention of the 30th of July was composed of men who sympathised with the rebellion, or who were disloyal to their country, we beg to give annexed extracts from the New Albany Ledger, whose editor honestly differs with the great majority ol his party as to the policy at thistinio of keeping up a distinct parly organization whoso feelings have of late been opposed to the Deuiotratic orguuitalion. The Ledger say: When it is charged that an as-t n:bl::'.'c of wetv-five in' thirty llioiisinl cili.tiis. most "f them old and substantial men, like that which met tit )nJiti:i;li,o tiieliOth tilt., was composed of those slio had any sympathy or affinities with the rebels or their cause, it is not only a gross slander on these citizens, but ia calculated to prolong the war by making the rebels belicvethatthereisa large party favorable to them here in the North.
