Proceedings and Resolutions of

the Indiana Democratic Milte Convention. From the Indiana State Sentinel. At 10 o'lock A. 31. the Democratic State Convention was called to order in the 3lctropolitan Hall, by the Chairman of the State Central Committc, Geo. McOuat, Ksq. There was a large attendance, ninety counties in the State being represented, and only two absent. No more rospeetatablc assemblage ever convened within the walls of a building. Un motion of Hon. Thomas R. Cobb, of Lawrauce, Hon. David Turpie, of White, was chosen permanent President. On motion, J. J. Ringham, of Marion, and George K. Green, of Knox, were chosen Secretaries. The Chairman, Mr. McOuat, appointed Messrs. Cobb ami II. II Dodd to inform 3Ir. Turpie of his election, and conduct hiiu to the chair. On taking the chair Mr. Turpie said, Dchrjales athe Convention: For this- invitation to preside over your deliberations, for this flattering expression of your esteem and confidence, I thank you most sincerely. I trust that our deliberations upon this occasion, and all the intercourse which we shall hold together, brief as they must necessarily be, will be j jdeasaut; that all of our counsels will re-; vou in this hour of calatnitv and danger look to vou for counsel and guidance i The country conüdes in the Democracy of; I Indiana to show its old attachment t the !

The restoration of the Ueinocratie party to power, tho inauguration of Democratic policy and a faithful adherence to Democratic principle will yet restore the Union. It will ive the people an unbounded confidence. It means lor our armies in the held renewed usefulness and elheieuey. It means for the States the preservation of their rights, and of their existence as such, Democratic success means, for the winde nation, unity and peace. i Jl"". dthn l'ettit, of Tippeeatioe, moved ''nary resolutions on oolitical bat all rrei"- .. 1 I, referred to a committee of luestions be icitrieu i one from each uisiriei--. - ; r-rVicd and the Uonvenuou appo,,ei the fjllowitn -ciitlcuicn a committee on resolutions: 1'ifth District ucreuiuu. u.uiiu.

Tho Convention unanimously adopted the following resolutions: Whoroasc, the Constitution of the State of Indiana declares that ' the powers of the government are divided into three separate departments: the Legislative, the Kxccutive, including the Administrative, and the Judicial; and no person charged with ollicial duties, under one id" these departments, shall exercise any of the functions of another, except as in this constitution expressly provided;" and whereas, the maintenance of our present form of government, the rights and liberties of the people and the safety and economical expenditure of the people's money depend upon a strict and rigid adherence to and enlorceinent ot the loregoing provision oi our Constitution, therclorc llesolvrd, 1. That we utterly condemn as revolutionary and subversive of the Con stitution of or.r State, the action ot dov crnor O. P. Morton in counselling the factious and lawless conduct of the Republican members of the last flcncral Assembly, and we wholly condemn their conduct in seceding Iron, the House ol lvcprcsen jtativc?, in violation of their official otitic

vdvi solemn duty, as representatives of the' Principles vs Policy. people, thereby defeating all necessary The resolutions adopted by the Deuio-F-gislation, cither in the making cf cratic State Convention held at Indianapappropriations to carry on the government j olis on the 12th, are, from the best inforof the State, or for the support and assis- mation we can get up to this writing, tance of our sick and Wounded soldiers, 'strong in nothing.' Neither the resolutions and we denounce as worthy of especial j of '9S, embracing the real States Kihts condemnation the conduct of Governor i doctrine, nor the sentiments of our party Morton in usurping, for personal and par- against the war, were enunciated with twin purposes, the powers and functions sufficient clearness to be called cither the of the co-ordinate departments of the gov- one or the other. This, we fear is nothing eminent. more than abandoning principle for policy; Tn:it WG disapprove of, and condemn and wo also fear, that too m.-mv have mi-

the action of Governor Morton in cstablishing a ' fiinmcial bureau." an institution unknown to the Constitution, the laws, and the usages of the State of Indiana; in securing, disbursing and squandering the funds ot the State; in borrowing money on the faith of the Statj and pledging the

property ami the energies ot the people to j Ihis is not so. Their aid is needed; but pay such loans, and interest thereon, and j it .-hould not be forgotten, that while the in paying out such money in open and j peace men arc willing to have as allies and flagrant disregard of the Constitution and friends the war mcni they are unwillinir to laws of the State, without any appropria- sacrifice that which is a matter of contion directing the payment thereof, and j science, namely, principles, which they without any of the checks and safe guards I regard as fundamental; and men mu't

that the wisdom ami experience of the past have demonstrated were necessary for the safety, preservation and economical expenditure of the money of the people of the .State. Ö. That the suppression of the rieht of the writ of habeas corpus in States or j places not in actual rebellion, and the ippression ol the Ireeuom ot speech and of the press by the Administration, are alike crimes against civilization and the highest hopes and interests of mankind. 4. That the profligate and reckless expenditure of the public treasure by the administration, and its criminal inefficiency in the management of the general business and finances of the country, always either leading to or directly tolerating public immorality, or the shamelessly dis honest waste of the peoples' money, have brought the nation to the verge of bankruntcv and jrcneral ruin ö. That the suppression of newspapers; the arrest of citizens without warraut. and their conlinenient in prisons without examination or trial; the denial of the right of; asylum, aim lorcioie seizure oi sunjects oi foreign powers and their delivery to agents of such Governments, without law or treaty, are criminal violations of civil liberty and the rights and privileges seeured to I ho citizen ami alien under the American Constitution. 0. That the failure of the Administration to promptly pay disabled or discharged soldiers, and ptnsions to widows and children whose husbands and fathers have fallen in battle or died in camp or by the way side, and the readiness with which the powers at Washington audit and pay shoddy contractors, ofliccrs and placemen ol the government, arc cruel wronirs to the destitute and deserving, and merit the withering scorn of the American people. 7 That the noble and patriotic sons of Indiana, who, lor love of country and a I restoration of the Lnion as established bour lathers, have sacrificed the endearments of home for the hard ships and perils of war, merit the thanks vi' the people of Indiana; that wc will ever hold in grcateful recollection the memory of those who have fidlen in battle, and that it is the duty, and should be the highest pleasure of the people to make ample provision for the support of those who h ive received disabilities in the service of the country, and the thousands of widows and tens of thousands of orphan children, whose husbands and fathers have sacrificed their lives in defense of ttai? ?onntry and honor of the American Hag. i, That a faithful adherence to the Constitution of the United States, to which the Democracy are pledged, necessarily implies th" restoration of liberty, and the rights cf tiio State under that Constitution unimpaired, and will lead to an early and honorable peace. 0. That we cordially sympathize with the Democracy of Kentucky in their present subjugated condition, deprived of the rights office men, and we will stand by them in a manly and lawful struggle to recover constitutional liberty. 10. That we pledge ourselves to cordially support the nominations made by this Convention. Hon. Lafe Develin of Wayne, and lion. Dayliss W. Hauna of Vigo, offered additional resolutions. After an animated debate on questions of order, which was participated in by 3Icsrs. Develin, Ilanna l'ettit and others, the following was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we, the Democracy of Indiana, in State convention assembled, are in favor of maintaining personal and con stitutional liberty, and wo pledge ourselves to sustain our rights as citizens to the bit ter end. A motion was made to adjourn, but previous to which Hon. David Turpie was called upon and closed the proceedings in a few able, eloquent anil patriotic remarks. The Convention then adjourned sine die. Tin: Da A ft. In case the President calls for 000,000 more men Indiana's quota will be about 11,000, from which we will deduct our excess of S,f00, leave the actual number to raise about f,f00. Of this number ",f0( will be drawn IV. in deficient townships and 0,000 will be drawn from all the townships of the State in proportion to the number liable to draft in the respective township. If the call should be for 500,000 men, than the State's quota would be about 'J.'.,500 which would leave us, after deducting our execs, 15,000 men to raise, ",500 of whom would first come from the deficient townships and the remainder from all the townships of the State. Dy this arrangement every township stand on its own bottom. Its excess will be deducted from its quota or, if deficient, its deficiency must be made good. Abolitionists and alligators are very fond of nigger.

understood the real ouestion. So vvonl.l

have it believed, that the cnemcration of full and intelligible resolutions, as those of "JS; and one taking a decided stand against the war, is tantamount to the ostracism of all who have favored the war. and arc still ! in favor of its constitutional' prosecution reconcile themselves to the fact that while the peace men are willing to yield almost everything for the sake of harmony, they will not yield principle. No personal considerations will stifle their opposition to the war in all its phases; and it should be enough for the war men to have the j offices, the spoils, the honors, without ask- ; ing the peace men to Sacrifice principle. e are not a stickler for a 5?intrle man; but we are wedded to principle; and believe equally as firmly that the only hope the party has of success, is in H'ftcrimj to principle. For. if we shall succeed upon principle, we will have no one to deceive, on assuming the reins of government, and if we fail thereon, our party will remain an organized one. If, however, we hall j;o into the election upon policy, and j succeed, ve shall have to belie all our pist j professions, and discover just what we are opposed to the war; but if wc shail be defeated our organization will be forever destroyed, for we will have denied our faith and stultified ourselves, and we can never reoriranizc. The question is a yracA " I 11 1 , - 1 ucui one. .Tuaii e maintain our iaitu with the certainty of ultimate success? t t.i...ii ... ,i i ,i, i j doubtful: and being defeated, know that li.in e uciiy ii nun iiiu teaic nun we are dishonored and subject to the con tempt of our enemies through all time. In conclusion, let us, if needs be, embrace the wicked, the impure, the unholy and the dishonest; and everybody, but let u. maintain, by all we hold dear, and by all our hope? of hereafter our time houorcd principles and our opposition to the war. A victory m no other basis will be lasting. Cromwell gained a victory but it did not restore to Kngland her Constitution; and his timely death saved him from violence at the hands of a people whom his cunning had deceived. We cannot maintain a war. It is certain dissolution. War constitutionally conducted under onr Federal Constitution to maintain it, is a heresy; and tlie very day it was resorted to, disunion became as inevitable as death; aird time will prove this to those still holding on to the sword. Kven before the Presidential election the event will have transpired, as we think. V. Wayne Times. "Religious" Literal lire.

Questions for llic Future. When this war began, it wai to end in thirty, sixty, ninety days. When the campaign Legan, the capture of Richmond and the annihilation of Lee were to occur in a week, a mouth, by the 4th of July at farthest. In the former case the ninety days have been extended to three years, and to-day the rebellion Iras more formidable proportions than at any period of its progress. In the latter case a vreck, a month, the 1th of July, have pa.?-e l. and iusteai of Richmond being ours, our noble army, lately decimated in its vast but fruitless struggles, now lies supinely before an outwork of the rebel capital, while Lee. whom we were to capture, swarms on northern soil, and envelops with his legions, the capital of the nation. Kverybody knows that 31 r. Lincoln has produced the result, but who, in view of what 31 r. Lincoln has already done, cares to charge him with this additional blunder this accession to our already immeasurable disgarce ? While it is, therefore, useless to adduce further evidence of the powerlessness. of'3Ir. Lincoln to manage the whirlwind which he has loosened, we may profitably turn from tho past to tho future, and ask how long shall these things be alljwed to continue 1' For three long weary years have the people given their treasure and their lives confiding in the promises of the administration; and yet for the same length of time they have seen those promises falsified and their .sacrifices wasted utterly, completely wasted, as much so as if theyhad tossed their gold into the ocean and had sacrificed their lives by self immolation. Kaeh year has been pronounced confidently the last of the rebellion, and yet each year sees defiant rebel hosts en veloping our capital each year sees tho rebellion stronger and the nation weaker. Kaeh draft is said to be the last the one which will close up the rebellion; and yet the confiding people have no soone given their contributions than these arc wasted by some monstrous blunder, and a new call for hundreds of thousands is i-sucd. It is not three months since our armies in the field were large enough to have fought the world with success for years, if properly managed in a righteous cause; but today there is only a fractional part left of all this gallant host; and to-morrow, when 3Ir. L:ne jhi ignominiously hemmed in by exultant enemies, can communicate with the people, he will demand of them 500,W0 more. Have we become worse than slaves, that an uncouth backwoodsman shall thus spend our treasure and squander the lives of our people, and as an offset, give us only disaster and disgrace The question is now not what 3Ir. Lincoln has done, but what he will do. It is the future that concerns us, and nut the past; and upon our decision rests our lives, our libeaties, our property, and the existence of the nation. C It in i'j't Tim i S. A Treat From Lincoln. Z :ie New York Herald's Washington" correspondent v speaking of the late interview between Lincoln and a delegation of Kentucky men.bcrs of Congress, who e ime to iiKjiiire int? the Wo 1 ford arrest, says : "In answer to the request that the order of General Rurbridgc be rescinded, tho President replied that he should not depart from the policy before pursued concerning Yallandighani. 3Ir. 3Iallorv remarked that the Yallandighani order was inoperative, that individual having returned to Ohio. 3Ir. Lincolu replied in substance, that he had no official knowledge of Yallandighanrs return, and that when 31 r. Yallaudighanr made his presence known by objectionable acts, the Kxccutive would be prepared to act. The application in favor of Col. Wollbrd was not granted." If the President waits until 3Ir- Vallandighaui makes his presence known by treasonable acts, he will wait a long time. Mr. Yallandighani was arrested in the first place, not for his acts, but for hi thoughts and for his words. Unless Lincoln considers words and thoughts objectionable acts, he will hive nothing to complain of in 3Ir. Yallandighani. The trouble is that
