The IiepuMinri State Contention ruet ye.-ttr daviiornioat! caiiJidAtea for Sttte offices to be filled at the ensuing October election, adopted a platform, and then adjourned. Every effort was made by the Republican official, with nil the Government applimcea at their control , to make, the Convention an imposing demonstr ition. It waa emthtticallv an office-holder' Convention ami the whole aflVir Lad ail official odor about it which waa unmistakable. Notwithstanding the effort m ule tn induct a larger attendance by the promise of interesting side shows, half fire train?, etc., the attendance was far below many of the ID4M meeting held in Ihi city by both parties for the past ten jeua. In the State Hou?e ytrtl where the Convention was held, there were at no time over five ihous.-tml persons pre?eiit, ani in atatin thU number we make a nv3t liberal estimate. The weather w exceedingly pleasant, and 11 the surroundim: calculated lo attract a large, crowd, were most favorable, yet the num.berrf attendance were fir below the expectations of its managers. ""A full history of the wire work'n in advance of the Convention, wuald form Its most iutereptv,Z ch iptcr. The radical Cicrin in element de ntatuinl thai t lei uo choice aliould be ex-pfC.-scdfor a Presidential uomir.ee. With that cTü4 FatMOMT was. tbe favorite, and the? desired ta prevent any action by the Convention which would prejudice hi chances or cliims. This did not uit the vfiice holders and the lovI leaguer, who, it U understood, hare taken the job to cure the re-nominntioo - of "Old Abe " In Cucuoi Monday niht the whole nutter wa uiffc-usJ, ami it wnn (leteruiine to pi re Lincoln a full endorsement and adopt instructions to tie delicate to the lVeidential N omin uir. j Conrentwi to tMt i'ic foit of the State for his. renum'n ition. ,Themijority were determined thtt the miuoiity should not dictate a Presidential candidate, and they expreed it. . Immediately upon the temporary organization the Convention, aj will be noticed in the report of ira proceeding-1, op jumped Hon Ct. Allen, in hot hute, and (ffertJ two resoluliorp, one proposing the isomintioo ot' OLirt a V. Mobton for Governor, and the other iti?tructit'g in Uvtr of Abu a it am Lixculx lor ic-nomnation, by ur.animou acclam ition This wi doue. The toadyism of Mr. Allem will be, f:crlnp. rcirded by that distinguished gentleman' frieud a being a little insular, when they remember tho uttr contempt hich he ha heretofore expreed for His Excellency. The speech of (Joernor Moaro.v in response waa read from the m.tmncri',t, and presented the eviOetice of caietal prepiration.' It was designed for a cun nip n document and will be prend brou.lc.ast over the Stite. Throughout it exhibited tnalx-e and vindictivened, and the controlling partlzan eatiment4 which influence 1. is public action. Evidently the Governor expended all hi ingenuity and ability in preparing this apology and attemptol jastific ition of his ofiicisl career, and especially bis uoneceasiry and onjutifyMble Usurpation of power. Ilia I dored efforts in these regards will not stand the scrutiny of investigation. As a full report of hi speech will appear in the court organ this morning, we forbear further comments at present, but in due time his eUtements in regard to State policy and the attempted vindication of hU official action In reference thereto, will reveirc a clear md complete ref utation. The balance of the ticket nominated is cot of imposing strength. The candidates are quite respectable and deter, but ther will not cfr liinly coramen J themselves to the people of Indiana as being worthy of their special confidence on account of any peculiar fitness for the poi tiins tJ which they have been named The Dominations were made by a committee conaistinr of one from each couuty. When it a..em" bled, Datip C. DaAn seemed to be the general favorite for the Lieutenant Governorship; in fact nobody el?e was talked of, but a member alated lht a portion of the committee wanted different timber nominated, and, alter a brief state.ment of the gallant services of General Kimuli in the field, proposed his nomioatin for the second plare on the ticket. David C was then Quletlv laid ojo the shelf and (Sen t imp all was iuade the nominee. When the uominition for Treasurvr of State came up for conatratiou another by play waa enactel. The contest seemed to be narrowed down to Uaavtr am! Colonel TiMrLiTO.v. A War Democrat tne.1 tl..t that win; of the sä cl'.ed Union" puty had no paying place upon lliC ticket.

Ifepubllcan state Convention The Convention at 10 A .Jd. was called to order try A. H Co5.xm, Chitrrnao of the State Central Committee.; ; General GroBbK K. SrLtLt, cf Parke, was choeen teai-orary Cliirmso.and J.'B. .MexlitT cf Decatur, Secretary. - General Stelli expressed Lis thanks for the honor conferred. He m but one determination to give the prot-.d State of Indiana the best men on the ticket In what situation would our noble State be to-day provided the elections had gooe the oilier way in Ohio an t other States last fall? We have enemies at home woree than enemies in the South, who are plotting the destruction of tbe Government. We must meet thera. Ctrus M. Allz.v, of Knox, in pursuance, as be said, of what he conceived should be the action of the Convention, offered the following, which were declared adopted, the negative not being put: Rffolced, That in the midst of a civil war for the pre-ervation of the life of the Government, and having confidence in the patriotism nd wisdom, thejustice and honesty of Abraham Linvoln, we regard his re-election to the position he now occupies us eential to the speedy und triumphant end of the war, and therefore hereby instruct the deles.ites to be appointed h? this Convention to repre-ent the ÜUte in the National Union Convention to cast their votes for his nomination. Kttnhfd. That dutv, patriotism and the interet of lmii.ina demand the election of Oliver I'. Morum as her next Governor, und we hereby declnre him to be the Union c.inililne for that po eition. A committee on permanent organization, one from each Congressional District, was appointed. Also, a like committee on resolutions Paniil Mack, of Tippecanoe, moved that a committee if one from e:ich Congressional District be appointed to select electors for the State at large. Amended ho r4s to include delegates for the State at Nrte to the National Union Convention, and passed. Judge KiLOORr, of Delaware, moved that a committee of oie from each county b? selected to propose nominations. Cirried. A. II Co mir moved that the vote cast for Secretary of State in lcC2 be adopted as the baci of voting bv counties. Carrie 1. The Committee on Permanent Organization rejorted a follow: President: Josirn A- Wright. Vice President: One from each Congressional District: Secretaries: Joh.h C. Xzw aud Aistis II. Drow.x, of Marion, with several a?sisUnta. Oof . Weight on taking the chair said it was ri;ht that be should return thanks for thii mark of repect. He regarded the ConTention the most important in the lii-tory of the State. If the Union ticket could be carried next fall by 50.000 or 100,000 majority, it would go further toward restoring peace than tho taking of Richmond. What of the hour? There was a different state of things in Indiana now than there was two years Ago. when he returned from Europe To whom do we owe this? To Abraham Lincoln. He waa the raau for the time. Two year ago he thought "LutcoLM had not nerve enough. He hitufcll had begped Lincoln, in God's name, to let us Lhvc a policy. "Mr. Whigiit," s.tid he, "ttat's the very thine I don't want." I did not understand Lincoln then, but I do now. He recognized the difference between a war with a foreign nation and a war among ourselves. Lincoln lud moved with the people. If two years ito single negro regiment had been tent into Virginia., every white regiment of the Army of the Potomac would hare left it. He two years ago had voted lo arm the negroes. And no Convention would ever assemble in Indiana that would sat that the negroes should not be thus emplojed He wanted no long platforms. He would take Madison's motto. '"Error may be tolerated if reason is left free to combat it." He wanted discussion on everything. Let everything see the light. For the rest, the path to peace laid through war. That was why he was for war. Tbe day of Lincoln's proclamation was the dtv that the Soulh lost all hope. Uuirah fr the proclamation ! The hour of the doom of the Confederacy had come. There was no nation on earth that had any sympathy with it There was no power on earth to make a free man a slave. The proclamation had mtdctha black man free, and Lincoln himself could not recall t. He called a man a true man when he was ready to sacrifice everything to his Government. Our only hope was iu the supremacy of the old A 1?J it triumph oulv could our institutions be perpetuated. Do you want an example. Democrats, to day to follow? I present you Gzouge M. Dallas, who with his gray locks st iggere.! to the ballot box to cast his rote for Gor. Ciatin gaiu-l tbe man your little Mac recommended. I lore that sweet word "Union." And when this war is over never again will you see m human being set upon a block and sold into fclavery. Gov. Mobton, called upon everywhere, came forward and read an elaborately prepared review of the proceedings ot the Legislature of lbC2-3, as regarded through his medium of looking at things, and of State matters subsequent. The military bill, upon which his partisans bolted, the interest on the public debt, the official con duct of the Agent of State, Auditor of State, Treasurer of State, Supreme Court Judges, State Printer and persons and things generally were discussed with a minuteness of detail and ueiug ternoiy in earnest, oi.iu ue , anu iu d.ctive. Oue hundred thousaud copie of what he read are to be printed puid tor by ub-crij tion taken up In the crowd. He discussed the war. too. the blocka ie; rrbel sources of (upplt; slavery and the eaitneipation proclamatioti. If by procljimins the freelm of thece;:ro the President could thereby weaken the rebellion, he had a much right ta do it to de-troy a rrbrl fortification True, the Cocsti tuti ic s ilenton the ubjevt, ani the proceed in w novel in the annals of war.

trsoLCTioa. The Chairman. Colonel Thomson, reported lvi following, which were unanimously adopted: I. Re$oltedt Tbat theeaueof the Un'oa demand ot everj patriotic ciizen the sacrifice of every partisan feeiiur, of all selfish purposes, of all private ambition; and that the action of the Govern o-.ect, whether In accordance with our views rjf correct poticy or not, cannot lole any man from the duty of rendering everv possible aid to eruth Iba rebel dot by furnishing tnen iLd metn, and rendering every posible entouragement to the Government. 2 That we had with joy the indications of approaching peace, not by compromise with reb els in arms, bS by their complete and utter subjugation to the laws and Constitution of the United States 3. Tht we are in favor of the destruction of evervthtnz which stands in the wav of a perma-

rfm ano perpetual jeic moopi in j'rwp,c wi , all the States, and a full and complete retora li)o of the just authority of the LLion under the j Conatiiktiou of the United States. j 4 That those who persist in their opposition to j , . .i i- 't the Government in its hour of peril, whj denounce its every act for the preservation of the i Union, who refuse to contribute men or money for IU support, or who ergän ze secret combinations to embarrass tbe Government by resisting the laws and encouraging desertions, are thereby rendering the rebel ciue more effective mpnort than if they joined the rebel armies, and are en titled to and will receive the execration of all patriotic citizens to the latest posterity. 5. That now, henceforward and to the end of time the thanks of a grateful people are due to the rank and file of the army and navy, to the oflicers and men who on to many battle fields have periled their lives in defense of their homes and of constitutional liberty, and by their patient endurance of the trials and privations, by heir dauntless courage and their devotion to the Union have covered themselves with imperishable re nown C That the gratitude of the American people is due to Audrew Johnson, of Tennessee, for his unselfish devotion to the cause of the Union and his patriotic and i-uccessful efforts for the j overthrow of the reMlion, and that we present his name as the choice of our people for the Vice Presidency ol the United States. Adjourned to 2 o'clock. AFTEUNOO.V. Davio S. GooniNG. of Ilincock, entertained the Convention a while. He said while Jo.

Hoviv ws then introduced to the ctowd. JhrF. Davis dreaded the votes of those who heard him more than tie did our armies He could lose two or three hundred thousand men and it would not hurt him a much aa a triumph over the copperheads of the orth. Wheu the soldier came back these men would have to bide their beads. It would take a writ of lubeis corpus to find one of them. You could not divide th'n Union. To maintain it ycu must subjugate the South aye, subjugate was the word. He wa one of those who would take the last copper from n rebel. He would dispossess him of hi land and divide them among the loyal. He would l.ake the cornYrom the rebel, his fences from his fields, his mules nd tits negroes and if the negro would not come wiilinglv lie would bridle him and lead him off like a mule.'

Tbe following paragrnnh occurs in his letter: The war engendered by unprincipled and ambitions demagogues has lasted too long. It shoald not be permitted to last beyond the present Tear, and if tbe North. East and West will put forth ther energies it will cease In ltb4 They have the means in men, money and' supplies in abundance, and these should not be withheld to carrv on tbe war. The Potomac Army shoold be increased to two hundred thousand men, with a stationary force for the defence of

Wah!rgton of fifty thousand. Gen. Grant's rmy for Cha'asnooga and Knoaviile hou!J be iucreasl lo at leist two hundred and fifty thousand. These armies riphtlv d re- teJ would soon end the war. The Army of the Potomac should proceed direct for Richmond, and cot, ashas been suggested, bv way of Jimes River or York River.

Lee would no doubt march on Washington, Maryland or Pennsylvania, when we would have another panic and stampede at Washington, and the Army of the Potomac would be recalled u protect the capital, and con-cjuen'.ly the war would be extended to lc'GS.

Another Outrage upon Democratbobbins off ti Newspaper Office at LaportCf Ind LAroBTt, Ind., Feb. 16 To the Editor cj the Chieaw Timet: This city has been the scene of one of those outrages committed by mob violence that of late have become o common, and which nre encour aged , by the radical portion of the Republican party, nr.d ofTered to pass unrebuked by those in authority. The otlice of the Ltporte Democrat was enter ed last ni;ht, about 7 o'clock, during the absence of every one connected with the office, by a mob of soldiers, and all the type and a great portion of the fixtures of the office were totally destroyed I learn that the soldiers, some fifteen or sixteen in number, belonged to the 21) ih Indiana. Immediately after committing the outrage, they left on the cars, for Indianapolis, to join their regiment An account of the affair was immediately telegraphed to Indianapolis, but I suppose it will be suffered to pass unnoticed. like similar outrage heretofore. Thre was not the slightest occasion or excuse for their conduct. The course of the Democrat has uniformly been mil 1 in its strictures upon the Administration, and its columns have always encouraged our soldiers in the field, and eimestly advocated rehtf to their suffering families at home.
