enure coniroi ox ine convention, ana ap-1 pointed a full corps of County and Township committees, which committees they desired greatly to continue in otllcc during the present year, inasmuch as the county and Congressional nominations were to be made, and it was very convenient to have the management of these affairs in their own hands. Accordingly, no sooner had the State Central Committee called the ConTeniian for the 18th, ult, than they commenced making their arrangements. The Provost Marshals, Deputy Marshals, Collectors, Assessors, Commissioners, Post Masters, in short the whole tribe of petty government officials were set to work with might and main to rally thc faithful. In order to inflame their xeal the more, the report was circulated that the friends of General Meredith would attempt to abolish the popular vote system, and & was ncceessary to have a full turn out in order to preserve that palladium of the liberties of the party. Thc result was that when the day arrived the "phalanx' was out in its might every available man was at his post. Inspired with confidence, they held their caucus as of old, and arranged the programne : Mr. Hosier was to be chairman, the couuty committee was to be continued, and a resolution endorsing Mr. Julian was to be adopted. WhKe the caucus was in progress however, the trains began to arrive, and it became evident that the people of Old Wayne were making their appearance, and were about to take a hand in the proceedings. Among the rest came about 100 citizens of the County who had volunteered in the service of their country in the 19th and 124th Regiments, but who seemed to be under thc impres-1 p ion that they had not thereby surrender ed till their rights as citizens. We are Informed by a gentleman who was present that it was amusing to behold the the countenances of the "phalanx" assembled about tlie Court House,' as the

soldiers marchel np from the depot. No merits before the people he does not YallanJJghamnier on thc day of the Ohio j need, nor will he descend we hope into election ever manifested greater indigna-j anything dishonest or dishonorable for tion and disgust at the sight of a bluet the purpose of securing his nomination, coat," than did these pure patriots on this J The distinguished services he has renoccasion. Messengers ran breathless In-) dered, and the blood he has sited in the

to the caucus announcing that Meredith was marching at the head of a great army to flank the convention, and overthrow popular vote. The consternation of that

delectable body was immense; perhaps it

""was never equalled except by that of Jeff Davis and his Congress when the tidings i first came to Richmond that McClellan s armywas before lorktown. In that dark j hour all teemed lost, and they were about i to abandon the field In despair when, at the suggestion of some of the bolder spirits it was finally resoh ed to go into the eonrtntjon, and fight manfully as possible., ami If defeated" they eonld then raise the cry of "fraud and trickery" that the convention was packed with ''Lincoln hirelings" from Randolph, fcc, 1c, and thus perhaps their discomfiture would be concealed, and some capital made for their leader. Alter the convention was organized, a resolution was unanimousl' adopted, appointing a committee of one from each township to whom, all resolution offered in the convention should be referred: and In order to gratify the friends of Mr. Julian, who had a majority of the delegates from three or four of the smaller townships, it was resolved that this committee should be selected by the township delegations, instead of by the chair. A committee was also appointed to select delegates Jo the State Convention. in the afternoon the committees reported, the reports were unanimously adopted and the convention seemed to be drawing harmoniously to a close, but such a consummation was not in accordance with the programme adopted by t!irisiP friAnila nf T,ttr0 nnil si- V1I , . , , , knowing that three fourths of the peo- , t , . .. pie present were opposed to the re-elec- . Af T ,. , ... . . , tion of Mr. Julian, and that the lntrotluc- .. , , ... tion of any snch measure would be vro-duc-tive of discord and ill feeling, the friends of that gentleman, nevertheless insisted on bringing forward a resolution endorsing him; which if passed, they wotild claim as an expression of Ya3-ne county in favorof his rtvejection, and if voted down, would denounce as an act of injustice and wrong. The resolution was . , ... . . . received with no outcry or disturbance as . . , , , , ,. . . it fctfltrifl 111' thr. .1 llllflll nrrrflna l.nf nn flirt -J " v . .

Mr. Hubbard the chairman of thc committee on resolutions finally got the floor, and stated t tat resolutions endorsing both Julian a id Meredith had been brought before the committee, but they, conceiving tho convention had not beea called for aijjsuch purpose, had determined to report in favor of neither this statement was received with manifest satisfaction and approved by the convention, and 3Ir. Payne who had offered the resolution announced that he withdrew it. Here again the convention might have terminated peaceably but the indiscreet zeal of Mr. Hosier, who was acting as one of the Vice Presidents led him to arise and commence a speech in favor of the passage of the resolution. He had not proceeded far when a personal altercation arose between him and a gentleman in the crowd, growing out of a private quarrel existing between them. Some high words ensued the excitement spread among the crowd. The president in vain attempted to enforce order when at length a motion to adjourn was made and carried the crowd dispersed, and soon order and good humor was restored. We agree with our brethren of the' Axe and Republican that the close of the convention was not particularly creditable to the county, but neither was it f-credit-able to the county; because it was a private matter for which the county was in no way responsible. We say let the censure rest where it belong; but we denounce as an infamous slander any charge that Gen. Meredith caused the disorderly proceedings or was in any way responsible for them. Gen. Mer edith, as ws understand, stands upon his cause of his country are sufficient gurantees that he deserves and will receive the confidence and support of the patriotic voters of the 5ta District.

JUUANvsUNCOLN.

In our iirvne of two weeks since, we expresses tn?r belief that CW. Julian was secretly laboring to defeat the nomination of Abraham Lincoln, and to secure . that of Mr. Chase. As a "confirmation of this beEef, I v referred to the ooure pursued by ftome of the s - nmal orra.na of tl.ii Pentlema.a la thi Hitfrii-t r nA imtmgtixrtsttatbe EamJJiAjoirMal, and we quoted from that paper, purporting to be a letter from 'our Washington correspondent,' in which Mr. Lincoln was t disparaged, and Mr. Chase landed to the sties : which i article we believed, was writtea at the bidding, or under the inspiration of Mr. Julian. Tbe Jomrmi of last week contains a Wader under the J title of "unfairness," in which Tt labors to overthrow . tbe inference we drew in tbe premises. It sayst - " j "As for the authorship of the letter, it waa written by a clerk in the Treasury Department, and Mr. Julian had nothing to do with it. Having beon office ed itor of the Journal for nearly a Tear, during which j ;me every article Wat Has appeared in lis columns i has previously pone through our hands, we are pre- 1 pared to sar pbsitivelv that Mr. Julian has not writt-n I a line for this paper on any tubjen whatever, except me Aaurvss 10 otcrs waicn we print tnis wet. j "Our Represent. tire has plcntr of lesritiraate work i requiring Lis attention, and his constituents mar rest j assured that he is not wasting? his time in trying- to j ma lie anrtxxir rresident. As lor our own position, we are so decidedly in favorof Mr. Lincoln's re-elec- t tion, that we will ennport no man for anr Dosition whfttATOr hA tlatf an..nw4 in ftii. &aKau .1" it - " ill the Palladium make the proper correction?" ..uw we uu uvi oispuie oui uui l ie arucie was acxually wrtavit br "i clerk in the Treasury Department," bnt we d sar that tbe "clerk aforesaid, owes his po sition to Mr. Juliaat and like all other clerks at Washington whose appointment was procured br him, is his cmttttrt, and does his bidding in all things. Xoiie of these fellows would dare to take snch a step as to de- K nnunce the President unless tber were assured of tbe : approval of their pa trim in so doing. Beside, it is j rerr ervWnt from tlie temper and style of the article, : that it must hare been dictated by Mr. Julian, or writ- -t n by some one fresh from coiuniunion with him. ; The peculiar style of our distinjuished congressman, i is too well known among his constituents to be mista- ' ken. The Journal says that "our representative has plea- j ty of legitimate work roftnirin his attention, and be is ; not wasting his time in trying to make anybody Trvsi- , dent." Wc suppose the Journal believes this to be the j case as the People of the district certainly have a j rifrht to espect that their representative will atfc'nd V j bis frpitimate business for which they elected him. Oat ! unfortunately such is not the case. j It has recently com? to the knowledjje of the country that tin? re is at Washington a secret Kxecutir j Committee, composed mainly of Members of Confrres. ' who have the management of Mr. Chase's interests: ! and are laboring with untiring energy to secure his no- j mination for the Presidency. This committee has is- : Sued a secret circular signed by S. C. 1'omeroy, Ch'u,' j setting forth thc claims of Mr. Chase and urging his i nomination : which circular has been rery extensively j circulated under the eongressionalWoii- of the members of thc committee. Much curiosity was manifest- : ed, to ascertain who composed the body of tliat com- i mittee, and at hut thc secret has come out. We have obtained from Washington an official and authentic j list of the commithv, whieh is as follows : f CENTRAL EXECITIVE 10MUITTKK: . lion. S. C Pomeror, Kansas, Chairman. '. P. Stanton. list. Columbia. ' Kufus P. Spaldinsr. Ohio. - tiKtiiillE W. Ji LIAS, Indiana. " John Covode. Pennsylvania. " II. T. Blow, Missouri. J. Conness, California. " Jno. Sherman, Ohio. " J. M. Ashley. Ohio. " 1. K. Loan, Missouri. " 1L.U. Corwin, Oiiio. II. L. Ilosmer, Cor. Sec'y. This is the committee that is now, and has for months hen, neglecting their " legitimate business" and tryiug to make sonK'bidy President. We liave authentic ! information that Mr. Julian has been hirly engngaf, j with the other mi-rubers of the committee, in frankiag : these secret circulars : but discovering as hj S'on div ' that the People of the 5th district of Indiana, were S- i most unanimous for "Old Abe," and fearing that fcfs ; complicity with the Chase plot, would ruin his pre- ; pecti for re-uomination, he begged the committee to exeus.' him from franking aay more of the dosuiuewrs to Indiana, where it might be found out : hut allow brtn ' to cxpen litis labors in tther States, while Indiana ; should be attenled to by ather raemhers. This arrangement was eccordingly niado ; and v.-e K . not doubt but that miur an unsophisticated Chasman . in losva or Kansas, has ere norv been surprised to be- ' hi the graceful autograph of our revered congress- ! man adorning the envelope containing a "prira to and j confidential" circular from tha central executive comanittee ! , j We also have evidence that M r. Julian exerted Tiim- f self to pterent the recommendation of Mr. Lincoln, by j the Union State Convention of Indiana on the 22d Feb. j and wrote letters to that end. la our next week's issue ; we shall go further into this subject, and will probably j be able to lay before our readers one of the letters I written by Mr. Julian to the Chase managers at ' Indianapolis, in furtherance of their common purpose. ; In the mean tims let the Cnion man of thc 5th district, ', who so loyally and unanimously declared in favor of Abraham Lincoln at their county and State Conven- ' tions, bear in mind; that the men they sent to Washington to represent them, is using the position they ' conferred upon him, to thwart their wishes and sc- , cretly to stab the men of their choice. I Soldiers Voting at the Xouiinatiug illection. This proposition needs do argument to prove its fair- . ness and strict justness. The soldiers are deeply intetested as to who shall represent them in Congress. j They do not want a cold-hearted, scheming, selfish political trickster, who Las no sympathy in common with i them-who cannot find time to visit the sick and wound- ' ed soldier from his own county and district; but has abundance of leiiture to write letters heme to erery ro- j ter almost urging the necessity of his re-election. They do not want a man to stand aloof from personal ' danger, and say : '"Go boy , and do your awn fighting, t' and should you escape death, hasten back home again ' and vote for mel'' But they prefer the brave man who I says t Come boys, 'let us rally round tlie Flag! shout- ; ing tiie battle-cry of Freedom!' whip the rebels, save i our country, and should we live to get back home again, : a grateful People will award us the praise of having ; performed our duty, and will tike care of us and our reputations." t. i "Thc Democratic Tartj- is being j thoroughly and rapidly abolitionized. ; James Brooks, of the "'cw York Ex- i press, made a speech in the House, on the 19th in which he said slavery is dead, and he will not fight any longer j over its dead bodv. lie also announced ; himself in favor of a vigorous prosecution ; rvf tbf ntp Thta t.nlr V. 1 1 .i tt r t nnil - .," ... - t omersoi ine copperneaas, cy surprise ana tnev were angrv. 1 Ills great tlUe OI . freedom is sweeping awav every opposition, and soon there promises to be j no pro-slavery party with a formidable j organization in the Xorth. j !

Mr. Sumner's Resolutions. Mr. Summer's resolutions are seven in number the first reciting that it is of the first importance to understand the real character of thc coute.it that has been forced upon the Vnitud States, and that the object of the rebellion was the perpetuation and extension of slavery ; the second that slavery must be destroyed ; the third is as follows : 3.

" It has not been pleasant for t'jem to eat tha bread : of idleness, and they have occasionally felt it almost ! a duty to resign ; but they have respected mv reduest i to remain, in tiie hope ot Unallv going into active serv- i ice. As respects their pay, retiacod as it is bv absence . from duty, it is barely sufficient for the support of themselves and families. I have not thought this a heavy tux upon the State, bearing in mind the fact I that tucy have shed their blood or exposed their lives ' for it, aud at the same tim? have rendered it distiaguisbed and valuuble service, and have been alnavs ! ready to io it again. As regards my pay, I think it right to say, since ' tliat question has been raised, that since the close of j the last session of Congress I have considered it a fund ! to be applied where it might alleviate distresses occas- i ioned by the war, and it lias been used accordingly.
