Resolved, That the delegates to the State Convention to be held at Indianapolis on the 24th of February next, be instructed to go against the nomination of any man for any office, who is tinctured with Free soilism or Abolitionism; and that they use their best endeavors to put in nomination for all the offices Democrats of the Jefferson school.

Resolved, That we approve of the doctrines advocated by the Indiana State Sentinel on the compromise measures.

Resolved, That we have the utmost confidence in the principles of the Democratic party, and that their success is necessary to the welfare and perpetuity of this glorious Union."
