HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR.
Mr. PACKARD offered the following:
Resolved, By the House (the Senate concurring) that the thanks of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana are due, and are hereby tendered to the Hon. Horatio Seymour, Governor of New York, for the able and patriotic defence of the Constitution, the laws and liberties of the American citizen, contained in his late message to the Legislature of that State, and particularly for his just and high appreciation of the interests, position, and patriotism of the great North west. And that we assure him that the conservative people of our own beloved State are looking with deep solicitude and confidence to his executive action, believing that they will find in it a firm and determined resistance to the encroachments of a despotic Administration upon the liberties of the American people, as well as a bold defense of the independent sovereignty of the several States of this Union; and that such action will receive the warm sympathies and hearty co-operation of all the conservative citizens of this State.
Resolved, That the Speaker of the House be directed to forward copies of these concurrent resolutions to his Excellency, Governor Seymour, and to the Legislature of that State.
