Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Federal Relations, 1863
Let us look to the history of our action, here and elsewhere, and the causes which have led to the ascendency of the majority in this chamber. It was manifest before the adjournment of Congress, at the first regular session, that the whole policy of the Administration, in conducting the war, had been changed, and that new and start ling measures were inaugurated at Washington. This created wide-spread alarm among the people in all the free States, and aroused a sentiment which demanded a convocation of a Mass Convention of conservative and loyal citizens at Indianapolis. That Convention was held on the 3oth day of July, 1862. It was called to give utterance to its sentiments in regard to the measures to which we have alluded. We can not better define the position of the majority of the Senate and the other House, and 'of the people of Indiana, than by giving the resolutions adopted by the vast concourse Of your fellow-citizens which assembled on that occasion. They are as follows: Resolutions adopted at the Mass. Meeting of the Democrats and other Conservative Citizens of Indiana, July 30, 1862.
Resolved, That the Constitution, the American Union, and the laws made under and by the authority of the Constitution. Must be preserved and maintained in their proper and rightful supremacy; that the rebellion now in arms against them must be suppressed and put down. And that it is the duty Of all good citizens to aid the General Government in all measures necessary and proper to that end.
