We publish in another column the condensed proceedings if the convention. We venture to say that Decatur has a smaller number of professional loafers than any town of its size in the State.

—The convention which will convene in this place next Wednesday, will undoubtedly be the convention that will nominate the successful ticket. Don’t withhold your influence, for fear oMJeing branded by political liners, as dupes, .sore heads, etc., but like ‘‘the noted Bud Means," in the Hoosier School Master, “put in yxjur best licks for the big church.” —When you pass M. Burn’s Harness shop do not fail to drop in and see his splendid new stock of Whips and Trunks.

Mr. Neff, the second speaker, did fiot prove himself other, than the same hidebound politician, which has ever characterized him in past campaigns. The speeches of the two gentlemen, were, in their nature, quite unlike, which perhaps was owing to, Mr. Shanklin’s desire to’ draw all with one accord to his sweet music. —We have just .received a new stock of printing material, and are prepared to do all kinds of job work on short notice.
