Of the thousands of highly patriotic Republicans and Abolitionists present, breathing threatening and slaughter ngaiust traitors and reoela, did one volunteer, did one en list, to swell the armies of the Union?

If such was a or the motive iM assembling the convention, it will prove n signal failure. The Republican claim that Aim.wi.xM Lincoln, although elected President bv a minority rote of nearly a million, was constitutional elected, and should therefore be respected and sustained as the constitutional head of tbe nation. If this argument holds good as fir a Mr. Lis01 is concerned, it will apply with gre iter force to the majority in the present Legislature.

The reporters nml ethers seized their chairs und prepared to change ju irfer-i Through the kiiindes.s of Mr. Ilollowuy, the re portorial corps were conducted through one of the windows of the Governor's office to the new stand. A sea of upturned faces were already in trout, waiting to hear the words of wilorn that misht fall from the lips of the orator from Tenneaaee. uovlrnor Johnson's spbm I. (iovernor Wright presented Governor Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Governor Johiiaou whs received by hcid cheers. Governor W right said that twenty years ago fie had the honor of meeting; Governor Johnson in Congress. Since that time he had been Governor of but State, Senator in Congress, and was now Acting Governor in his own State. He come to you as the representative of our institutions.

Loud cheers followed fio ernor .1 ohn-oii: The rn-t audience hre to day must bear with him. His roi. e wa-. wesk from a cold. While an inhabitant of another State he claimed feo lie a r.tizen of the I'nited Static, and addre.-sed the people of Iudiana as his fellow citizens He found an audience here to day far beyond his capacity of voice to address He aupe wed i:i tbe m:dst of 4 civil war a revo iutfon.

He would only attempt to present the great questions which had involved the country in civil war. The confu sion here drowued the voice of the -peal.cr not distinctly heard, at best. Governor Johnson re-um! He was about to state that just the other day the contest was between the respective parties in pronouncing eulo g - on the I'nion. They vied with each other n this labor.

toil anl privation at.d bl'Kxi, and they succeeded, as we would now. Tbe Constitution is iudistructihlc Gobckto its origin. It was to form a mrre : eat I KnJnn. I Ls f ramers were philosopher- a- well statesmen. They knew that all things were undergoing change, and they framed it to meet the ever changing condition of things. The 5th article pro vi Jed that when tw.. thirds ol the Blatte OQaV sen ted it could be changed. Why thus seek to destroy it? Fetccable secession and Reconstruction indeed! He held that a State could not go out. Secede meant to di-integi ate to go hack to original elements. He illustrated When the Constitution of the State was famed men in a c ivereign capaciiy voted lor or .iguioi it. He went in as a sovereign; could he go out h .i -ov ereign without the leave ot hi- ;diow sovercsjp A man buiit m house or a block in a city.

If there hi not an cflort made soon, he would come I to Indiana, and go to Illinois and Ohio, und raise i

The heavy BBapooaibility rested - .mew here, but it did not rest here He a-ked the -y mpathizer here to lift uphis hand and see if it was not red. Justice would come BOOOer or later. Tired of the war! It bid istel eighteen months. U took seven years to om ibii.-h the Government arm it not worth as uiiu :1 to maintain it'.' He would war thirty year. What was thirty yens on the page of hi-torv? It h..- lile was spared seventy year-, he would fight tight on, tight ever. He would war agiin.-t ihe-e Southern tyrants as long a- the Spaniards warred against the Moor- seven hundred years. He related the incident ot l'aul Jones shooting the ofheer who pulled down the flag, with the remark L i t . . l v a ew v
mat ne wa- in.-i getting ready to hgüt. ue aie
just getting ready to fight. To show what the South thought of the Rebel sympathizers, he read from the Rieh mood lis patch an article giving a gloomy picture of their afl tirs. but drawing comfort from tbe alleged disaffection in our army, and a quasi rebellion in the loyal States. They relied more Upon our di visions beie than upon the sMength of their
armies. He asked his Democratic friend here if they would not buckle on their armor and giv e aid to the loyal men South? The time is now to be united, and the be-t Government on earth could be sj eedilv re-tore i. He took a view of the field. The lis-issippi opened, and Obatta nooga and Weldon in om hands, arid we had the
rebellion cheeked. Cruh the rebellion first, and . then quarrel about the Government. If y .i: have got no Government, there i- nothing to i
quarrel about. But the arnii-tn e the Constitution as it is and the Cnion as it was. Why, the rebels don't want any c omprotuise. What sort of a thing is it? What are you to nit in it'.' He would -how that the whole thing was spurious coin. In 1-fil Mr. Thomas Coiwiu came forward in Congress with a proposition to amend the Con-titution in refer
ence to slave propertv, mi that it could not bei eg iio amended. That covered the whole Rtgro question. It was p i-sed bv a two thirds vote and , submitted to the States.

That we believe the satety of the country and the preservation of our liberties depend upon the perpet oily of the L'nion; and that we view every tfOM sition of compromise with Rebels on any other basis than that of unqualified submission to the laws ml the National authority, as wholly inadmissible, and fiuugbt with the most dangerous consequences J. '1 but we de-ire "that no effort which inspires i reasonable hope of success in restoring the Union aa it nut under the Constitution, shall be omitted; and being solemnly impressed with the conviction that arms alone" are adequate to the accom Ushment of that end, we will heartily sup port tiie iovernment in the vigorous prosecution of the war unril the rebellion is crushed, and that we deprecate all truckling armistices and joggling conventions witli traitors in arm .as weak tnVeuüout of the enetr.y; that a cessation of hostilities for a single day would only serve to strengthen the loe, and weaken ourselves, and would be a beau -urrender of all tfie advantages we have gained during thr present struggle. 3. Thtt the h'ghc-t interet of Indiana demands the perpetuation of the Union, and not only that the great valley of the Mississippi, from Iii source Ul its mouth, but all the States of the Union, from the Eastern border of Maine to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, shall remain under one government and one Hag, and

die desperation of Bragg is quite as evident from his anxiety to receive information from within our lines as from any thing ei.-e. Never before were the aftnues of iriiormation as her meticallv senlcd, and never was he so anxious to know what we are about.

duced into the Legislature of our State, chal
lunges our admiration and excites our gratitude. T he voices that come to us over mountain and river, and from raanv bloody fields in the ringing accents of patriotism, evince tbe high resolve of our citizen soldiery to sustain the Government of their fathers, and to restore the supremacy ot the lug of tot Republic over every foot of the soil taebfuctd in the Federal t Vion. 5. That we believe that in every measure which President Lincoln has adopted tor tbe maintenance of the national authority, be has been actuated by tbe h:ghct patriotism and the most loyal devotion to the interests of the people, and we pledge ourselves to a heaity support of the A I ministration iu all its measures for the suppressiou of the rebellion. 6. That our ftstingnisned Governor, His Kx cellency Oliver P Morton, is entitled to the gratitude of the people of Indiana lor his patriotic and untiring effort in behalf of the cause of the coun try; for bis able administration of the affairs ol the S ate, civil and military; and for his devotion to the comfort and welfare of the Indiana troops. Thai to his energy, foceofgnl and patriotism, so gloriously sustained by the conduct of our sol-diei-In the held, we are indebted for the prouJ position which our beloved Suite now occupies among her loval statt. That in behalf of our seid i ers, aa wed as !or the honor and sai'etv ot
rary under garment, and two pairs of cavalrv
hoots tied to her under clothes, and some important letters iu her stockings. Of course she was ! passed back to tbe towu. One lady had passed j
several rimes on missions ot mercy, whose general deportment aud family connection gare strong grounds of suspicion, but who&e stockings had been searched in vain tor the contraband information. The Provost Marshal Gene; a aas ' yet satisfied, and ordere! a more thorough search by a committee of femules, when an important dispatch was found where no spy of the in Mcutine gender could have carried it. That woman baa since been coubned, bv order of Geo. w-v Kosecrant, in very close quarters. I could give you a chapter on the animus of the army, und the sentiments of the BUMMSUOt political questions, but it would be OUSntiafactorj. b-r another man. calling around him another chtuj of soldiers, would obtain probably just the 01 osite etanresaiens.

At first he was quite reserved, but little by little be has opened his heart nnd revealed his politics, which, he says, are the prevailing opinion oi" the people thereabout-. He acknowledges a Com plete somersault, so far as associates are con oerned, and says that politics do make strange bed fellows. Tie swears now by Conway, of Kansas, and next bvttreelev. He has been all along of Democratic proclivities, hoping great things from the recent Northern elections, but hope de fei red has made his heart sick, and in utter disgust ne turns to Conway, hoping that in his speech, whicli favored a recognition of the Con federacy, he spokp as a representative man of some coming party. He is in favor of an armistice; so far be is Democratic, but he sty thut ar armistice for any other purpose than arranging the terms of final separation is a waste of time, for a reconstruction is impo.--ib!e There iff strange unanimity on this subject everywhere that I have traveled, and this is what troubles me There are occasionally some things very amus ing. even in the tubhornness ot the-e -inner-, for every last one of them is a Hebel, even the refugees who come 111, if thev had enetgv enough to be. Since the churches have nil been appropriated for hospitals, the brethren hold prayer meetings occasionally at private houses; and since there is 110 "order " against praying ece-sionisiu, they sometimes jverpetrate something hard that way.
