From tht Wabath Courier. The Battle Ground ConYention, Came off on the itUih and 30ih, with an eclatand an enthusiasm that certainly lias no parallel West, and, perhaps, we might with truth say, East, of the Alleghany Mountains. The low stage of the river a week or to before the time of meeting, and the effert which it was supposed a continuance of wet and very disagreeable weather must t.tcess.ml) have on the condition of the

cumstanccs that many imagined would materially circumstribe the numbersof those in attendance. Bui the results proved that t!ie Spirit and enthusiasm of the People weie Hot to be extinguished by trifling impediments. The weaihe.r, on the evening of the 27th, happily changed lor the better, and, from that lime to the present, it h s continued to be pleasant in the extreme; a circumstance Very fortunate for the comfoit of the delegates whilst encamped, as well as tending to facilitate their return to their families and homes.Ftr two days preceding the Convention, eveiy line of communication leading to the Battle Ground was thronged with delegates from all parts of Indiana, as well as from adjacent portions of neighboring States. Their progress, whether by land or water, appeared like a Roman triumph being cheered at every point by the multitudes of People who IhrongeJ the banks of the beautiful Wabash, or assembled along the great thoroughfares ol the State, to welcome their approaih,nndehcouiage and animate ll.em in the great nnd glorious work of political regeneration. The cen on the Wabadh, especially, was interesing beyond desci iption, from the time the Tuscumbia, Fox and llio lLftTerre-IIaute,on the 20th, until they arrived at Lafayette and the Balile-Grouna, on the 27ih. Heine crowded with delegates two of the boats frequently lashed together for milts and having on board the Evansville, Vincennes ttnd TerreHaute Uands, the shouts from those who crowded the shores to witness the gathering of the People, were responded to by still louder cheers trom the boats, mingled with strains of the finest music, as well as wbh salutes ol ordnance trom the Tuscumbia and Hio. The laircr portion of creation, in particular, crowded the windows and doors of lhcirdvelhres, and, waving in their hands dags and handkerchiefs, nemo.iitrated their attachment to the Harrison cause, nnd how much they loved the old veteran whose valor conquered the soil upon which thev trn.l. V:,l .! ... least, it was plain to see that chivalry, drv HU.1UU, are new, SiS they have ever oeen, t.ie surest passpoit. to favor. M tny ol the delegates wt.o travelog h u.wt .. ... that then- pi ogress, also, resembled a triumph; and that nearly every log cabin rnd hamiet, every town and village, mm forth its voice ol welcome, and seemed to vie with each other in me generous rivalry of hospialily and ki d ness. v,an we be nnont these demonstrations of public sentiment, and the hcaltnful change which they evince in the r-.-..v ...h.u1 uiese the mercenary oi nearness anstociats, privileged tin oimjtorot men lured to acta given i art in the drama of deccDtiont delegates.that their fellow-citizens of all ages, sexes and conditions should thus unite offering up to them and to their cause, one universal homage of retpect t Were they led on by Postmasters Indian Agents District Attorneys or Government pensioners who felt that the tenure of their otriccs depended on a .crvile adherance to, nnd advocacy of, the men in power! No! The vast concourse was principally competed of men of stout hearts and strong hands, capable of supporting themselves by their own industry, and therefore free to act w ithout fear, favor or affection, nnd with an eye single to the good of their con n try. It was was on the Battle Ground, however, hat the most thrilling; interest was excited. The historical associations which hallowed the scene; the presence of numerous Veterans who fought in the memorable midnight con-: flict of Novcmhcv 1811 their faithful narratives of the various pans rtcd by the heroes of that night, and i f all the little incident that hari piud from the moment the In.i.an. attacked the encampment until they were repulsed by the victorious Harrison & his men; and the actual presence of 30,000 freemen on the field of hi renown, ready It. vindicate his fame by placing him in the first ofiiec in their tr. j.i.i. gm,i.a mereoy putting to shame the slanders ot his enemies were circumstances well Calculated to excite n host of emotions that can be far more casly imhied than described. Our readers must therefore excuse the paucity of our description-, because, an individual might as well attempt to take cognisance, at the same, moment, of what is passing at the opposite poles of the earth, as to give a faithful narrative of every thine; of interest in crowd of at least 30,000 people. Having arrived at the ground on the morning of the 23th, we had an opportunity of witnessing the imposing spectacle presented hy the entre of the larger delegations as they approached the camping ground from every point of the compass. They came in every desoribable mode tr convey ance in log cabins and in waggons in brigand in canoes on horseback and on foot. Pieceded Hy steamers, flags and banners, and Iterated in by the roar of cannon and the sound lof martial music, they Wm forth to tKnM fields where our brave f.thera stood Where litiuiji founu.a ay pur'j nuiuu Where Ljoertsmird shefcU.onM theirstorv! t he saute flij u sure-. , It wave o'ei the bowers And the sentiment of every delegate seemed

to be "True Democrats rally the battle is near And curst be the dielard who shrinks back in rear" The soul-stirring interest cf such scenes will not loon be forgotten, and was well calculated to kindle enthusiasm in the coldest bosoms. From the border of the Northern Lakes from the shores of the Ohio from the regions of the Upper and Lower Wabash from the White-Water countryfrom the centre to the cirrnmferem-e nf iho Si..i.

there were delegates in attendance all ania I t 1 - ... . maieu oy me same spirit, nnd determined to teach the office holders that thev are not the masters but the servants of the" People; and that governments are not established for the benefit of the eovernor. but nfthi .inrt as would seem from the efforts of our rulers to establish a haid currency kr themselves, and rag-money for their masters, Ihe People.
