TIE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, June 9th, 1870.

The County Nommating Convention.

1« to-day's issue will be found I the proceedings of the convention held last Sxldrday to nominate a republican county ticket, as it is reported to u* by ME Hascall, secretary of the convention. We arc M>rry the report is so meager and think the result of each ballot should be published, more especially as the delegates excluded all outsiders, both republicans and democrats, from the room and their deliberations were in no manner influenced by improper pressure. The ticket nominated is composed of good men, well qualified for the duties of their respective offices, and is entitled to the support of every republican in the county. We hope to see it elected by a large majority.

Mr. Wolcott.

lion. Anson Wolcott, of White county, was in Rensselaer during last week, lie is a gentleman of more than average natural ability, with a good education, urbane and polished manners and calculated to make friends with thinking people. As a member of our State senate have been of great importance, saving thousands of dollars to the people. It is well known throughout the district that he is a candidate beii/H! the republican convention »t Wanatah on the 28th insL, for nomination for congress. We believe all concede that his prospects in that direction are second best, and that ii> ease Mr. Packard fails to be nominated on the first hallob the succession will fall on Mr. 'Wolcott Without prejudice to the claims of any other aspirant or in any manner attempting to influence the views of others we believe that if nominated be would carry the strength of his party at the polls and faithfully represent the interest of his constituents in congress.

A Falsehood Refuted.

“Gon. Packard was enthusia st ic - ally endorsed at the Laportecounty convention last Saturday for renomination to congress. After a vigorous campaign of a few months’ duration, during which time there was much stepping in the mire by the auti-Packard men, the public verdict has been given; the people of that county have met and this is the verdict: Packard is endorsed and iu the midst of greatest enthusiasm recommended by his old friends and neighbors to the people of the district for renominatiom” — JfishatcaLa Enterprise. “We cannot see how our convention ‘indorsed Gen. Packard.’ * * * * * There were no instruction, endorsements, or recommendations whatever, awd no candid, intelligent man of either side will say that the prospects of Gen. Packard are the least brightened by last Saturday’s proceedings.’’— Laporte Herald.

We quote these two extracts that the community may not be imposed upon by the unscrupulous partizans of an infamous man. Copies of the Mishawaka Enterprise were pretty largely circulated by our postmas-; ter last Tuesday evening, and unless its falsehoods were deuied the statements of its editor might be believed. The Laporte convention was anything but harmonious. In fact it came very near breaking up in a row. We do not stop to ask who was in fault there—whether they were the admirers or the opponents of Gen. Packard—it was a county convention called to nominate a county ticket and the appointment of delegates was an after thought, it inslced thought of at all. But as the Herald, says “there were no inttructions,indorseluents, or recommendations what* ever,” neither were delegates appointed, but instead a resolution w{u* adopted reading as follows: “Resolved, That any and every republican voter of Laporte county, who shall attend the congressional convention at Wanatah, on the 29th of June pros., shall be considered a delegate properly deputed from this county.”

The resolution was introduced by a friend of Packard, who had full knowledge of the fact that the congressional committee of the district had decided upon a delegate convention and the chairman had issued his call in conformity with this understanding. It was done for mischief and to overreach the people of the southern portion of the district, by bringing a noisy mob down to create a pressure. So far as Jasper county is concerned it makes but little difference as her delegation is not composed of the stuff affected by such noisy brawling and they will cast their votes in a manner which they believe shall redown to the' harmony, glory and sneceM of the party.

The WinaiAac Republican accuses I one of the editors of this paper with being a “young man.” If our cotemporary will wait patiently a few years w« will endeavor to cor- ( red the fault. no tinw'nor space fhis week to comment upon the proceedings of the judicial convention at I l£ei>l I and on the 7th. Our issue ‘ w ill be delayed, as it is, on account of not having received the report until n late hour. Both Judge Test and Mr. Everett are favorably known throughout the district and we hope to i ce them elected.

From present appearances—judging from letters we have seen and gentlemen we have conversed with from Laporte, Lake, Porter, Pulaski, White, Newton, Marshall and Fulton counties—if Gen. Packard is r< nominated at Wanatah, this district w ill be represented in the next congress by a democrat. Brother Keiser, of the Winamac Republican, intimates that the papers who advocate the re-election, of Gen, Packard, do so from disinterested motives. If their editors were removed from their postoftices, revenue offices and other sinecures, aid then continued their support of the man, we might think so too.

“Ira W. Yeoman announces himself in the Union as an independent candidate for auditor. That’s played out. If Mr, Yeoman is a democrat, why don’t 1 o say so, and run on his merits as such.’—H<namac Democrat. t Mr. Yeoman didn't vote for Seymour and Blair, and upholds the fifteenth amendment, which, probably, explains why those'Winamac “fellers” don’t likehim. “We learn that Mr. Hm-st has sold his mill-seat, north of this ; place, to Mr. R. Hopkins and Mar- ; shall Grant, of Jasper county. Pu- ; laski county will get two good citi- ’ zens in Messrs. Hopkins and Grant, and under the management of Mr. Hopkins the mill will become one of the useful institutions of the county. We know that be understands his business. The mill will be put in complete repair at once.” Winamac Republican.

Mr. R. J. Hopkins moved Over yesterdays Mr—Grant-will not go until fall and perhaps not until next spring. We wish both gentlemen will be prosperous in their enterprise, but are sorry to loose such good cilzens. St. Joseph -etrtttrty -has instructed her 2!) delegates to the Wanatah convention to cast their votes for the renomination ot Hon Jasper Packard. Laporte county did not succeed in appointing delegates to that convention, but Will assemble there en masse. It is thought her 20 votes will be divided between Packard and Cathcart. White county has instructed her 11 delegates to cast their vote solid for Wolcott. Pulaski county has 6 votes in the convention and instructed for Packard. Jasper county has 8 votes and her delegates go to Wanatah untrammcled by instruction. •

“The American Central Kailroad ■ will extend east of Fort Wayne, j via Tiffin, to a connection with the ■ Atlantic and Great Western Railroad. It is probable the old roadbed of the Tiffin and Fort Wayne ' (or Clinton Air Line) road will be used from here to Tiffin. As is ' well known, over a million dollars was expended on that line some fifteen years ago, and now only about $260,900 would be required ; to prepare the road for the iron j We yesterday saw a note from a i gentleman prominently connected with this project, who is now in New York on business pertaining to it. lie says he will visit this 1 city this week to consult with our people in reference to the proposed road, and inform them fully as to its prospects and what must be ’ d«£i»'lo secure it. We understand, if the desired encouragement, is given, there is no reason why the. line might not be in running order from its connecting point with the A. «fc G. W. Railroad to Fort Wayne by the first of January next.— fort Ji’ayrie Gazette, June 2d. The above article refers to the great trunk enterprise of which the Fort W ayne and Pacific division is a part. The gentleman referred to (President D wiggins) was in the city of Fort Wayne last Friday and held a consultation with a number of her leading business men, the result of which was to petition the board of commissioners to order an election upon the proposition ot a 2 per cent tax in aid of the project. This would raise about $200,000. Mr. Dwiegins was assured that the proposition would be carried in Allen county by a good majority, the people being largely interested in the revival of the road upon which they had expended so much labor and money several years ago.

Good Health.— first number of volume 2 maintains the reputation of . former numbers. We consider it a good journal—the best of the kind we know of. Somebody has said that “it takes the laws of life and the conditions of health as they arc recognized by the great masters of physiological, medical and educational science, and unfolds and enforces them in a peculiarly effective and popular style.” “So far from being dry, as such works are too apt to be, there is really little reading in Good Health that is not as entertaing as a novel, while its contents have a direct tendency to elevate the taste, store the mind, preserve the health, and lengthen the ‘life of the reader.’ ” We never read a number of this journal without feeling that we have learned something of practical importance from its well written : articles.

The locomotive was taking it to the water tank below town. The members of the M. E. Church “are about setting on foot a movement to build a parsonage”—all of which we glean from the Republican.

The report that a son of Colonel 11. W. Thompson, of Terre Haute, has been appointed to a West Point cadetship, is incorrect. No application for such a place has been made, either by the Colonel or his son.

Miss Melissa Hopkins, lately of Goshen, Elkhart county, has been reported as having married a Mormon, «in Kansas, recently. Her husband turns out to be a good Methodist, with no Mormon proclivities whatever —and both husband and wife are as mad—being Methodists—as they dare be, on account of the false report.

Change from Mass to Delegate Convention.

“It I- known to all that the republican congressional committee in their recent call, changed the mode of -elecling candidates in this district, from tin old mat's convention system.to the oilier more gen eruby'adqpted t > u-—th.it <»; gate conV'.iitl li, 1’ .ere is, we are s lit rstiedy snnrv irrt -a | qtta-liew-H+H • * “ the public mind, touching the tenuous and motives of said change, to Corn et which it is proper to give a brief history of the facts ami circumstances connected with the same. If the statements we are about to make are not true, we shall thank anybody hereafter to set us right.

“Immediately after the last con1 ventioi: at Westville, the committee met to confer in regard to the 1 next biennial convention —the one i ! now so rapidly approaching. The j I majority ot the members then ami j I there declared themselves in favor of a change, on the ground, among others, that the mass arrangement gave this county an unjust advantage, enabling us by the presence of an overpowering working and shouting force, to command an undue predominance and influence in making the nomination. B bile there was a pretty full discussion, we believe lio action was at that time taken. Last winter the Valparaiso Vidette, (the devoted champion of General Packard) came out squarely for a delegate convention. It was followed by seven other papers of the district, all either copying its article approvingly, or indorsing its position in editorials of their own. For obvious reasons, the Herald and Enterprise of this

county, remained non-committal. — Last February at the State con vention, the delegates from this district being in conference for other business, Mr. Higgins, chairman of the congressional committee, sprung this very question, for the purpose of getting an expression from those present The matter was pretty thoroughly debated. Mr. Gurney, of Valparaiso,-- Col. Sumner,—of Plymouth, Dr. Caldwell, of Newton, and others making speeches — all in opposition to the mass system. A vote being taken, the same was almost unanimously iu favor of a delegate convention. Of course, this vote at Indianapolis, was, in no respect authoratative or binding, but it was regarded worthy of attention, as the pronounced opinion of some three hundred discreet influential republicans from the eleven counties—all selected without any reference or dislike to, or j preference for Catheart, Packard, i Wolcott or anybody else. Last ' spring,Mr. Higgins addressed let- ; tern of inquiry to his> associates of i the committee, who, to a man? agreed that the next ought to be a delegate convention, and directed i him as chairman, to make the call ■ accordingly. He did so, and this

is the whole history of the transacti < > 11. Mr. Higgins acted in obedi- . cnee to the sense and will of the : party, as expressed through and by ■ its journals and leading men.— Whatever may be said of the policy of the change, and the power of the committee to make it, it cannot be denied that there was a high precedent fdr it. In 1868 our State central committee, upon their own motion and authority called a State delegate convention, when up to that time all similar gatherings had been mass, and this action was concurred in without dissent, so fas as we know. In other districts of Indiana, we believe a like change was made from the mass to the delegate system, with little, if any question or opposition.

“In this district the call has gone forth, and, so far as we are informed has been very cheerfully and generally acquiesced in, though there is some dissatisfaction hereabouts. Two of the counties, St. Joseph and White, have already appointed their delegates—the others, we presume, wdi do s’6 at an early day,, choosing altogether 127 deputies to represent them at Wanatah on the 29 th in st. Last Saturday Laporte county in convention assembled, resolved'that ‘any and every’ one of her republican voters present at the above place and time, shall be a delegate ‘properly deputed.’ This means that if a thousand Laporteans are on the ground, each one of them must be ‘considered a delegate,’ as milch and just the same, as any and each of the 127 gentlemen sent by the other ten counties. The republicans from the other parts of the district, may be expected to resist and rebuke this absurd and impudent pretension. Laporte county will hardly be permitted to dictate terms to ail her neighbors. Wc apprehend she will be allowed 29 delegates inside the wigwam (which by the way, will not hold more than 500) while the mass of her voters will be mere out-siders or lookers-on, just like other mortals.- The resolution, under the circumstances, was ex-

tremely ill-timed, if not utterly senseless. It ought not to have passed. But it was introduced by Mr. Weir, in uproar and confusion, heard by comparatively few, and rushed through without debate (Mr. Belford # vainly tried to speak against it) not one in a dozen knowing, or apparently caring, what was in it. “As between the mass and delegate system, we have little or no choice, and care not a fig about the change, but we are sorry that' old Laporte has been placed by the action of the Packard leaders in an attitude ,so ridiculous if not disgraceful.”—Laparte Herald. The whooping cough is reported as demoralizing the Sabbath schools in Vernon, Jennings county.
