The Congressional Coi vention.

Wc can not this wet-k lay before our wider* a fttU report of the proceedings at Wanatah on the 2fih, being unable to obtain a copy •f the platform and resolutions adopted. The convention wa* largely attended, from one thousand to fifteen hundred persons being present. The assembly was called to order at 11 o'clock A. M. by Mr. ilsggins, chairman of the congressional committee. Col. £. F. Hammond was made temporary chairman, and N. V. Brower, of the Mishawaka Enter t prise, secretary.— After appoin! ing’o< >m m i Utc? upon permanent organisation, resolutions, credentials, Ac., a recess was taken until after dinner. Upon reassembling the committee reported as jtennanent officers: — lion. Chas. 11. Test, of White county, chairman; X. V. Brower, of Mishawaka, secretary; Messrs. Seward, of Laporte, and Bedell, of Crown Point, assistant, secretaries, and Mr. Merritield, of Porter county, reading clerk. After some other preliminary arrangements were completed and, the several committees had reported, proceeded to nominate candidates when Genera] Jasper Packard was aimed by a delegate whose name and county we did not learn, and R. S. D wiggins, of Jasper, presented the name of Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White county. Mr. Thos. Btishnell, chairman of the White county delegation, arose and withdrew Mr. Wocott's name. No further announcements being made, a motion was offered “that inasmuch as Gen. Jasper Packard is the only gentleman before the convention for nomination, that lie be nominated by acclamation,” which failed to carry aud resort was had to a call of counties with the following result: Fulton—Packard 8, blank 5. Laporte— “ I Pi, withdrew. Newton— “ 5, 1 did not vote. Pulaski— “ c. St. Joseph—“ :>9. White—: “ 3, 8 withdrew. Lake— “ 12 and 08-100, Cathcart 1 and G-100, Wolcott 23-100. Jasper— *' 4, Colfax 4. Marshall— “ 1 7, Osborne 2. Porter— “15, Cathcart 3. Stark— « 3. iV hole number of votes cast 136 i, of which Mr. Packard received 121 and 18-100; Cathcart, 4 and 6-100; Colfax, 4; blank, 5; Osborne, 2; Wolcott, 26-100. A motion was offered to make the nomination unanimous, which was passed by a majority. Upon the result boing announced, the chairraaa declared Jasper Packard, of Laporte, the nominee of the convention. A committee, consisting of Mr«pt«ii, of St. Joseph, Col. Shryock, of Fulton, and Dr. Dakin, of Laporte, was appointed to wait upon Gen. Packard, who had arrired In the town in the morning, announce the result and request trim to appear in the shed. The nominee quickly rcspmded aad delivered a short address in eulogy of the republican party’ exhorting to redoubled exertion for the campaign and thanking the contention for hifif enoiriinntion.

Our Railroad.

From present appearances the men engaged in the enterprise of building a great through reeto, of whioh tbs Fort Wayno & Pacific railroad forms the Indiana link, are hi solid earnest about the matter, It will be remembered that the local companies organized in the four States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and lowa held a meeting at Cedar Rapids a short time since for the pnrposo of consolidation. We have it from a reliable source that the object ot the meeting was fully accomplished. The consolidated line is called the North American Railroad, and the President of the company is Judge Greene, flic financial agent of the Central Construction compatiy, who proposes to to build the road. Thia construction company was well represented at th?t meeting anJ all said they must commence work on the road in July. In order that they may do this it will bo necessary to raise the local aid as agreed upon in the contract Judge Greene writes from New York a letter (which we have seen) under date of the 10th instant, in which he says “It is of the utmost importance that the local aid be worked up promptly, so ms* may have part of the road running this fall.” A of the consolidated company is to be hold in Fort Wayno the 13th of July, and it is of the utmost importance to us and the Indiana division that our quota of aid be closed up by that time, and every exertion possible is being now made along the entire line except in Newton county. We are happy to add that so lur these exertions meet with flattering success. Three or four days since we saw a letter from the executive board in Whitley county asking for two hundred more blank subscription notes as the supply furnished them was nearly exhausted and a great interest was then being manifested in the enterprise. The amount now raised in Jasper county has already reached the sum of 175,000, lmt it is necessary for us to do a little more than this. Wcrnust go $25,000 better. This is made necessary by the adverse result of the elections ordered in the adjoining counties of Newton and Pulaski. One hundred thousand dollars is a very large sum for so sparsely settled a county as Jasper to raise, but the investment will pay. The advantages to be gained with a railroad traversing the center of the county can scarcely bo overestimated. Emigration will be directed to our choice uncultivated lands.— Capital will seek to develop our natural resources. A market will be made for everything we have to sell, ahd “times” will be better every way. Then let there be no hesitation on the part of individuals to assist according to their financial ability in the completion of this enterprise. Let there be no hesitation on the part of any one to do his full share. If the project is not completed there is nothing lost by us, because nothing can be collected; while if the road is built wo arc repaid' a hundred fold for the outlay and trouble. Messrs. Stackhouse and Boroughs will devote them entire time to soliciting subscriptions during the next ten days. In Illinois they write confidently that every dollar of their subscription quota will be raised by the 10th of July, and we do not believe they are any more enterprising or wide awake to their interests than the people of our county have shown themselves to be.

Judge Test's Nomination.

Wo are pained to see the course pursued by our contemporaries of tbe Lafayette press, iu regard to the late convention held at Kcutland for the nomination ofjmlgeforthiscireuit. Whefi conventions are held in accordance with party usages their action is usually regarded as binding upon the press advocating the principles of the party calling them. Any other course must soon end in overthrowing the republican party, and the cherished principles for which thev have'so long and successfully contended. The Lafayette press has indulged in a system of abuse and misrepresentation of tbe late Kentl&ud convention, and the members of that body, wholly unworthy of honorable men. The low ribaldry of Tullis, of the Courier, and his vulgar allusions to Col. Hammond and the members generally composing tbe convention, snows that he is either dnink or crazy. One would think the Lafayette press had enough on its hands to battle against the opposition in Tippecanoe couuty, without waging warfare against the men of our own party, and particularly republicans, whose honesty and fidelity to our principles has never been (juestlored; yet, to read Tulips’ diatribe on tbe convention, one would conclude there was not an honest man participating in its proceedings excepting himself and two or three other delegates from Tippecanoe. The convention at Kentland was held in pursuance of a call of tbe central judicial committee of the circuit, and ft wn« provided in that call thnt

lisach candidate should receive hia pro rata vote from the aeVerul counties composing the circuit. Till* mm. mni<UU4f was Inserted at the request of Jodm VlnlM, and Assented to by Judge Teat it received the ammibKtiou dHpl the parties Interested Id its proWWiiijfH up to the day convention met. Upon thia basis Judge Test received 37J votes, amt Judge Vinton Sop The principieenL 1 bodied in the call was just and proper, I and no man was ever more fairly iiom- . inated than Judge Test. Theatteippt >to deprive him of the votes to which be was entitled In TipjJeeanoe county, if successful, would have been an unmitigated fraud, and so regarded by every honest minded republican iu the circuit. In Tippecanoe county they resolved to hold a primary election; in the other counties they called their regular conventions and appointed delegates to the judicial meeting at Kentland. Neither Judge Test or any other candidate ran compel the people tohold primary elections. The manner in which candidates shall be put into the field is usually confided to the central committee of the several counties. If Tippecanoe choose to hold u primary election for the nomination of her candidates, it is none of our business. Wc mukc- our nominations in general convention, and it is there We take the sense of our people. The judicial central committee did not think proper to demund that primary elections should be held in tlie several counties for tlie selection of a candidate for judge and prosecutor of this circuit. They made It a delegate convention, ami left it to tho counties to determine the mode of choosing their delegates. If Judge Vinton has friends in this or the other northern counties of the circuit, they should have attended the conventions of the party, and made known their wishes. If they failed to do this, it is not probable they would have attended a primary election. If there are those in our beetiou of the circuit who prefer Judge Vinton to Judge Test, we are not able to find them. Test is the almost universal clioioe of the jteople and the bar in the northern portion of the circuit, without distinction of party.— Among tho latter, with whom the Judge lias been iu close Intimacy and daily intercourse for the last twelve years, his honesty and impartiality has won him the esteem and support of all, both republican ami democrat. It is indeed surprising, that in the hundreds of eases decided by Judge Test iu bis long judiciul career, and some of them attended with great excitement, lie should have made so few enemies.

Tlie Lafayette Journal says that “thecounty convention which ordered the primary election, instructed the delegates to the judicial convention to cast tlie vote of the county as a unit.” We beg leave to say that there is no foundation for this assertion. It is not true. Wc have file proceedings of that convention before us, and we iicre copy the only resolution passed in their county convention on that subject. “Resolved, That nil the township, county and district officers to be elected during the current year, shall be nominated by a primary to be held on the first Monday in April, 1870, at which time we will instruct, by ballot, our delegates who is the choice of Tippecanoeacounty for the coining race for congress.” They resolved to instruct their delegates by ballot, as to their choice for congress, and perhaps that their choice should be voted for as a unit in the congressional convention; but not one word is said in that resolution relative to voting as a unit in the judicial convention forjudge and prosecutor. Nor did llie editors of the Journal ever dream of such until their favorite was beaten in the late convention. According to their position, Judge Vinton was nominated for judge of this circuit two months ago. Why not have claimed his nomination immediately, that tlie result of the primary election was known? Why have waited until the Kentland convention, to have declared that which they liail already done? It was a useless waste of time and trouble to hold a convention when, with the assumption of the Journal, they had already nominated the circuit judge and prosecutor (Scarcely a week be‘ore the meeting of the Kentland convention, tlie editor of the Gazette, of that place, hinted that Judge Viuton’s friends would decline to abide by the terms of tlie call for the judicial convention, unless they were likely to secure his nomination. Tho Journal repelled the idea with great indignation, that Tippecanoe would be guilty of such business, and abused the editor in the most scurrilous manner for even intimating tiiat they could act in such bad faith. The four or live delegates from Tippecanoe county did act just as hinted. They came to *tlie convention, counted noses and found on the fair basis adopted on suggestion of Judge Vinton, by the central committee, that he would l»e defeated. — They then attempted to break up tho convention; and failing in this, four of them attempted to cast the vote of county as a unit fdr Judge Vinton.— One of the five, however, more honest than tlie others, admitted that Judge Test was entitled, under call of tlie convention, to 9j votes from Tippecanoe, which, with the votes he received from the other counties, gave him the nomination, and by the president of the convention he was declared its nominee. We, with all the other republican papers iu the circuit, (six in all) excepting those published iu Lafayette, have hoisted the name of Judge Test as our candidate, and shall do battle for him until the October election.

The Wiiiamac Republican is, respectfully, iniormed that Hon. Anson Wolcott has never written a coimnnication to the Rensselaer Union “defaming the character of Gen. Packard’s friends,” nor upon any other subject. W T c do not remember of having published a word written or suggested by him respecting political matters, during the year. Jdr. Reiser is at fault in this matter and bis statement is without foundation in fact. + —-UThe convention to nominate a democratic candidate for Slate senator, in this district, will be held at Remington, Jasper county, on Wednesday, July 20th, 1870.
