country, and are determined to forego no
effort on their part to bring order out of the present chaotic state of affairs. At an early hour in tho morning thc people began to come in from all points of the compass, and by ten o'clock the stree:s of the town and the road leading to the beautiful
Lincoln. Delegates were selected to the grove where the meeting was to be held, and
Chicago Convention with a view to his nom- j even thc grove itself, was filled with wagons,
ination. In some Congressional Districts they were instructed to vote for McClellan. In others, where no instructions were given
it was well understocd that they were to vote for McClellan. The late Indiana tate Convention was composed overwhelmingly of friends of McClellan. And yet there are intimations that Gen. McClell an w ill not even receive the vote cf Indiana at the Chicago Convention. We do not believe one w ord of this. We do not believe the gentlemen selected by the District Conventions will violate their instructions and contemn the wishes of their constituents
by voting against their favorite. Xor do we. believe that the four gentlemen selected by the State Central Committee to represent the State at large, will violate the well known wishes of the people. We do not say thatno one but McClellan could carry Indiana, but we do say that there is no certainty that any one but McClellan could do it. With McClellan for President the Democratic State ticket could be elected by an overwhelming majority, and thus exert an immense influence upon the Presidential election in other States.
Cut if defeated in October, who imagines that a different result could be obtained in
November ? No one doubts thc entire soundness of Gen. McClellan on the great question of the day. He occupies the position early assumed by the Democratic party as to the mannep in which this unhappy and fratricidal war should be conducted. Neither he nor the Democratic party have abandoned that position. Uutlci, Uurnside, Meagher, Shepley,
Wallace, and other pretended Democratic Generals ' bent the - pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning," but McClellan gallantly maintained his position, and for doing so was deprived of his command by Lincoln and Stanton, and has ever since been persecuted by them with shameful malignity. He has borne all, however.

First-jaThat Chile it is the well considered 1 gest and most enthusiastic political demon-
horses and people, and the question began to suggest itself to the minds of all present if the crowd continues to increase what is to be done with them ? liut increase it did,
and they all adopted themselves to the emergency of the occasion, and everything passed ofl'as harmoniously as the most timid could desire. It was a general remark by all that they never before saw eo large a crowd in winch such perfect order prevailed there was not a drunken man seen during the Jay, nor a fight, or even the slightest approach to
a quarrel. The number present wasvariotis 13- estimated at from three to fiye thousand. The Democrats of course wera in ecstacies at the unparalleled success of the meeting, and the few adherants oT the universally execrated administrations of Lincoln and Morton
mum and crest fallen. Thc crowd was liberally interspersed with men, who, but a short time previous, had been in sympathy with thc Republican party, and ardent sup porters of the administration, but were now seeking the light, and expressed the determination to vote thc Democratic ticket henceforward and forever.
The meeting was addressed by Hon. M. M. Ray and K. M. Hokd in the forenoon, in a
eloquent and impressive manner, but as n e were not present are unablo to give an outlino even of their remarks, but hear them spoken off in commendatory terms by all present. In the afternoon lion. T. A. Hendricks spoke for near two hours. His review of thc military and civil course of the administration was able, logical, and convincing, i I is expose of the murderous fanaticism of Lincoln, as exhibited in his famous '"To whom it may concern" epistle, was able and scathing, and no man could have listened to it without conceiving a most- insufferable contempt and loathing for the miserable negro infatuated buffoon. He appeal to the peopleed
to come forward and by the silent agency of
and inflexible purpose ol' the Democratic
party of this State, acting in concert with all patriotic citizens who respect the purity of the ballot and desire the public gord to maintain by fore, if need be and at all hazards, the right of he people to free and fair elections, we condemn any attempt at resistance of the laws before constitutional remedies are exhausted, and earnestly advise all men to abide patiently the action of the chosen representatives of the Democratic party at Chicago, on the 2'.'th of Augut, looking for
ward to the coming election lor a peaceful j and constitutional redress of grievances more, j effectual than violence. SeconJ In times of public peril like the present, ami in view of what are believed to be well founded apprehensions of attempts on the part of those in authority to interfere bv military power with the freedom of elections, patriotism and prudence alike demand
that the constitutional right of the people to keep and bear arms as a necessary means of defense to a free State, should not be violated nor abandoned; and it is thc right und duty of all good citizens to co operate in open lawful organizations for the protection of the freedom of elections and for the preservation of peace and constitutional order and the rights of tho neonle within the State : as well
- -!- - , - as for its defense against invasion and we especially recommend to the people in all their counties, townships and election precincts thorough organization for these ends. Third As manifest inequalities exist in the assignment of quotas to thc different States, unde rthe late cail for 500.0)0hicn, which have created the belief that there lias beenan unfair discrimination in favor of cer tain Kastorn States to thc prejudice of Indiana and other States, this committee has assum
ed the duty of ascertaining by application to Governor Morton, Adjutant General Noble, Provost Marshal Maker or other proper authorities, thc grounds of such inequalities, and whether or not they are in accordance with law and can be remedied. Dy order of the Committee. J. J. PiN'Gn.vM, Chairman.

THE CONVENTION
The joint Convention for Shelby and
cock counties, for the nomination of Sena
tor and Joint Representative, assembled at the Seminary at 10 o'clock, and was called to order by Alonzo Blair, Chairman of the Central Committee. A temporary organization was affected by selecting Stephen Major, of Shelby, Chairman, and Alonzo Blair and Sample of Hancock, Secretaries and afterwards by the selection of G. W. M'Connell, of Shelby, Chairman, and Henry (iaines, of Shelby, and of Hancock, -Secretaries. (Tho proceedings not having conic to
hand we arc unable to give the proceedings in detail.) James L. Mason, of Hancock, was put in nomination for Senator, and Geo. C. TnAcnek, of Shelby, for Joint Representative. There were apprehensions that considera ble difficulty would be experienced in making a selection for Senator, but it turned out that the rumors of dissatisfaction had no real foundation in fact, were the idle rumors of a few political schemers and were entirely dis regarded by the Convention, which went right along and performed its business in a straight forward and honorable manner, leaving the wire-workers and schemers to nurse or abandon their nicely laid plans as they choose.

The three hundred jlollars bounty is not Doc-ketable until thc expiration of three ears service, and we would just like to have some expert financial mathematician figure out w hat three hundred dollars in greenbacks will be worth in actual money at the expiration of three years, providing this Lincoln administration is perpetuated and the war i continued ? Mr. Editor: We are not much of a math-

near one hundred stands erected, from all of
which speaking was going on at the same
lime in fact it was one hundred mass meet- i ingi .oiled into one. The number present is j variously estimated at from one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand. The entire
Square was ablaze with lanterns, transparancies, fire works, Ac. The hero of Antictarn was nominated for thc Presidency amid the wildest enthusiasm. It is now stated that Chambcrsburgh, Pennsylvania, was burned by order of Gen.
Early, in retaliation for the burning of the residences of Senators Butler, Hunter and
Gen. Lee, by General Hunter. Early first demanded of the -citizens $100,000, which
was refused. The burning of thc mansions
of these Southern men by Hunter was gen
erally denounced at the time as a cowardly
and vandal act.
