A Card. The Hon. Milton Gregg, Delegate from Jefferson. j and would be Commander-in-chief of tho whig forces in Indiana, who makes a periodical visit to the Convention on every Saturday, for tho purpose of making war on stenographers, the correspondents of newspapers, door - keepers, fttc., made his usual appearance on Saturday last. Soon after resolutions were in order, his tall form was seen rising from the back part of the Hall, and with resolution in hand be nddresscd the President. The stenographers on the elevated platform in front of him. turned pale at the sight. The door keepers vanished ; and a solemn stillness pervaded the whole assemblage. Not a whisper was heard, when in an audible voice be read his resolution. How greatly was that throng of human beings, both within the bar and in the lobbies. disappointed! It was a resolution, as to the propriety of incorKrating in the organic law of the State, a provision for the erection of a monument on the battle field r , . , - , , . o, i.ppeeanoe: Alter a lew remark, nowever, it as discovered, that the resolution was only otfered as a rampart behind which he might stand to cast his missiles of ; war at the correspondent of the Madison Courier. He 1 held np a copy of that paper, and became perfectly fun- ' oas. The lobbies were crowded with strangers and cv- ' ery one present expected some astounding disclosure. Th' 'nondent was mentioned is . Thc I'lul'inaPl correspondent was mentioned as a I monster unlit to live, who nad committed a sacr. legion ' act. He commenced reading, and when be had nearlv I . . . completed the President's hammer fell, his fifteen min- j - . A 1 .1 tUtes naving expired, vote was iaKcn wuciner nc j sboold complete reading the article. In the mean time the interest of thc crowd was intense. It was supposed j by some, that the correspondent had opened thc graves I bones! The Convention permitted him to read, when the tragody ended. And what do you suppose was the tenor of the article complained of? It was an approval of Mr. Petti 3 rcinserted in the Constitution, to carry out thc agreement entered into with General Tipton, who donated the battle ground to the State, that it should be prcscrveo from waste and desecration, by a proper enclosure; and an appeal made to thc democratic majority to comply with said agreement, inasmuch as it was apparent that the whins, having accomplished all their party ends, had no farther nse for the ground that sonic of the old forest trees, whieh bore the bullet scars, received on the nitrht of ag ouKi I ' all means lie preserved, it was important something should he done. Now, as I am the unfortunate intiividnal, on account of whose acts all this gas was exploded, and the preetOWttmc of the Convention consumed, it is necessary for me to explain. In the fir.t place the Convention was . . i- . . not called together to vindicate tho whig or democratic parties from the assaults of newspaper scribblers.
