GATHERING OF THE GRANTITES.

They Romimite the Ho?i. Morton C. Hunter for Congress.

Remark* of the Chairman, TOnjor Cnr1 Hunter, W. W. lurry and Major (jilover—Music.

Pursuant to previous published call, the Grailtites convened in Turner Hall, Brazil, yesterday at 11 A. M., for the purpose of carrying into effect a prearranged programme. The attendance was quite large, a full representation of postmasters, revenue officers and officeseekers being in attendance. Besides, there were quite a number of the rank and file who by their bullets aud ballots have made our Long Branch President what he is to-day, aud all the reputation for Generalship he enjoys.

The press was represented by I. M. Brown, Sullivan Union H. C. Painter, Gosport Independent Isaac Herr, Brazil Miner O. J. Smith, Terre Haute Express] M. Keeney, Rockville Republican. There may have been otherdistinguished members of the press present, but they were not visible to our optics.

L. A. Burnett, Esq., Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Sixth district, called the meeting to order, aud on motion, the Hon. Wm. A. Montgomery, of Owen county, was made Chairman. On taking the chair he spoke substantially as follows

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I thank you for the honor you have conterred upon me. I have no speech to make, and you have no time to listen. I shall say this much, however: An intimate friend of Mr. Voorhees assured me, at Indianapolis, yesterday that that jztfiiileman will be the Demoerotic nominee for Congress in this district. We need harmony and hearty co-opperation to beat him. Let us lay aside bickerings and jealousies, and march to victory under the leadership of Gen. Morton C. Hunter, and redeem this district from the coutrol of the Democratic party. [Applause.]

Major Smith, of the Express, was made Secretary of the Convention. I. M. Browra, of the Sullivan Union, Isaac Hei r, of the Brazil Miner, and H. C. Painter, of the Gosport Independent, were made assistant Secretaries. ice Presidents were chosen as follows, eicli county making ils own selection

W. W. Curry, Vigo Capt. R. B. Sears, Vermillion. Thos. X. Rice, Parke. Clias. Harniseh, Sullivan. J.G. McPheeters, Monroe. Jno. Leedham, Clay. Col. Williams, Lawrence. The Convention being fully organized, on motion of Col. Edwards, of Vigo, the Convention adjourned until 1:30 P. M.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

About 1:30 P. M. the delegates were in their peaces, aud .were called to order by the Chairman who announced the first business in order to be the nominating of of a eaudidate to Congress from the

Sixth Congressional District of Indiana. Major Carter thereupon arose and said. MR. PRESIDENT—I have no doubt, sir, but what the man whose uame is placed in nomination hers to-day, will be most triumphantly elected at the coming election. [Applause It is all well known in advance by the country what the Baltimore Convention will do. When the Democratic party meets there in a few days they will commit suicide by taking one of the nr a', terrible doses of poison ever taken by a political party in the world. [Laughter.] General Grant will be triumphantly elected President. [Cheers.] He will be the Executive of the Nation for the next four years and it is the duty, the bounden duty, of the great Republican party of tliis country to elect a Republican Congress to su^ain and support that Administration.* [Renewed cheers.] I, therefore, gentlemtn, believing that it is the almost universal desire of the Republicans of this Congressional District, have the proud satisfaction, in the uame of the Republican party of this Congressional District—(Here the band outside struck up a patriotic air, just outside of the hall, which enlivened the scene, and drowned the speaker's voice as effectively, until requested to remain passive. The speaker then continued:) I say, I have now the proud satisfaction, in the name of the Republican party of this Congressional District, in the name of law, in the name of publicand private property, and the name of national unity, in placing in nomination, aud I desire that the nomination shall be made by acclamation, the name of Gen. Morton C. Hunter, of Monroe. [Tremeudous chesring.]

Col. Edwards, of Vigo, arose and said MR. PRESIDENT—On behalf of the Vigo delegation, by their favor and instruction, iudorsing tevery word Major Carter hassaid,Isecoud that nomination. [Renewed cheering.]

The President said GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION The motion before the house is that the Honorable Morton C. Hunter, be nominated as our standard bearer by acclamation. Are you ready for the question. ["Cries, question, question."]

The vote being put, was unanimous and harmoniously enthusiastic aud loud and long repeated calls were made for the nominee, who finally came forward to the platform, and was escorted to the front by the Chairman, who said

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I now have the pleasure of introducing to you, Morton C. Hunter, as your standard bearer, fully believing that, he will receive the vote of every Republican in this Congressional District. [Applause aud cheers.]

Mr. Hunter said: GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION— It is not my purpose, gentlemen, upon this occasion, to make you a speech. My friend Curry has come here for that purpose. I arise before you to accept the nomination, and thank you for the honor conferred. In accepting this nomination, I feel that it is my duty to sny to you that I shall accept it without any understanding of defeat. I say to you, gentlemen, that I intend togointo every township iu this Congressional District, [applause], and if there are enough Republicans in this Congressional District to elect me to Congress, I intend to bring that party out in full. [Applause.] If you will but second my efforts, we will carry this district triumphantly. [Cheers.]

Since! have come here I have been called upon by a great many gentlemen, to know how I stand on the question of tariff. I said to you that it was not my intention to make you a speech, but I feel that it is my duty on this occasion to say to you precisely where I stand on this subject. I say it now in the presence of every delegate from the different counties and townships, and I want you to bear in mind, gentlemen, that what I say to you here to-day I will carry out in my speeches in every county in this Congressional District for what I believe to be right I intend to advocate. I will not tro into one county and advocate one doctrine, and thengointo another county and advocate still another doctrine. [Applause and laughter.]

I say to you therefore, gentlemen, that I am in favor of a tariff. [Cheers.] I am in favor of giving protection to home industries, [cheers,] for I say to you, gentlemen, that unless we do that, I can satisfy the people of this Congressional district, and that in a very short time, that our country, instead of being prosperous, will be almost bankrupt. The Government must be supported, the interest upon our public debt must be paid, and the principal of that debt must also be paid. The question then arises, now must that money be raised? It must be raised either by tariff or direct taxation. If you impose a direct tax on the people of the country, under the Constitution of the United States, I am able to satisfy the people, that in ten years at the outside, nine tenths of those who to-dav own real estate, must be sold out for taxes.

Now, let me illustrate that to you in brief. You must remember that under the Constitution of the United States, taxation and representation must go together. That as the people of this Congressional District elect a member of Congress to represent them, they staud equal to any other Congressional District iu the State. When it comes to the question of raisiHg money, every Congressional District will stand precisely as you stand equal in your Congressmen. Now, as we will have a new apportionment, there will be some three hundred Congressmen in round numbers. To pay the interest on the public debt, pay the national expenses generally aud liquidate the public debt, it will require three hundred million dollars annually. If we should raise that by direct taxation, it would take a million dollars from each Congressional District.

Now, I will say to you here, gentlemen, when any man comes before you advocatiug free trade and direct taxation, remember what direct taxes mean. It means, to collect off you people, for every species of property you have, this million of dollars. This county is about an average county, in this district. You have nine counties in this Congressional district, makiug the apportionment to Clay county, over one hundred thousand dollars for national purposes. Now, if the tax gatherer comes into this county each year to collect off the people of this county one hundred thousand dollars, over and above that, of personal, State, county, and township tax, let me ask you how many men in the county would owu the farms they are now living upon, ten years from to-day

The Republican party understands the situation of affairs. The Republican Party, during the war, when it was necessary to raise more money than we have to raise now, never come upon the people with the direct tax. They levied the tax on the luxuries and wealth of the country and eo far as in their power, collected the same by tariff. You have been under Republican rule since 1860, and during all that time, notwithstanding the necessity for much money being raised during the war, the revenues have been collected in such a way that the people have not been ground to the earth. TheBepubJte»& party biw done

its work well. IHs lessening the burden each year as fast as possible, and the people of this Congressional District, and thn county, should be satisfied with well doing.

Remember that during Johnson's Administration, 1865, there were the largest revenues collected in this country ever collected in one year in it, some four hundred and ninety million dollars. Since that time the Republican party has taken off two hundred and fifty-three millions, from the basis of taxation. If General Grant and his Administration had.collected with the same fidelity Andrew Johnson did on that same basis, Gen. Grant should have last year co1lected two hundred and thirty-seven millions of dollars, on the bisis left. What is the fact? Instead of two hundred and thirty-seven millions he collected three hundred and ninety millions, showing more fidelity in the collection of revenues than any other administration of the last thirty years. I say to you to-day, gentlemen, that the financial condition of this country is sounder, and better than it has been for the last forty years. Now then, every man who has arrived at a mature age in life, knows that prior to the last seven or eight years, we had a financial war all over this country. Trading men and banks all "went up," and every man who sold his products lost his wealth.

Now the financial condition of this country, under the present system of banking is safe from panics. Are you not aware that undwr the present financial system panics cannot exist? Let a bank break, and what is the condition of your currency It is worth more than when the bank was solvent. Did you never hear of that before? It is something in the history of the financial operations of this country. Some men will ask How is that, Hunter? You say when the bank breaks its currency is worth more than when solvent. I say yes. I will now give you the reason. When a set of men want to get a bank, what is the first thing they do? Say they wish to put in circulation ninety thousand dollars, they buy, in the first place, one hundred thousand dollars and deposit with the Treasurer at Washington, who delivers them ninety thousand dollars in currency. Now, there is a dollar and ten cents for every dollar put in circulation. Iu the event of this bank going into bankruptcy, the holder is entitled to one dollar and ten cents on the amount iu circulation. Therefore, the bill cannot be worthless, but is worth more. This, gentlemen, is the financial condition the Republican party has placed this country in. I say it is the soundest financial condition this country has been in, in the last forty years. If you will strengthen and continue this Republican party in power, you will continue prosperity for the country. Do you ever recollect for a moment the general condition the Republican party found this country in The Democrats will tell you of the good old times of Democracy. If you will KO back and read history you will find that some of them were clamoring to be out of this Union, organized under President Davis and ^ice President Stephens, with headquarters at Montgomery, Alabama, and a general organization under the name of the Southern Confederacy. They had a standing army. Our army and navy were destroyed, and the Treasury bankrupted. The Republican party took the country in that broken down condition they sustained it during the war since then they have built it up, and it stands to-day brighter far than since 1789. [Applause.]

Now, gentlemen, I could speak to you at great length on this subject, but I want to talk on this tariff question much more, but friend Curry is here, and I want him to address you. I am in favor of tariff aud protection to home industry. Why, am I in favor of tariff? Because by the tariff we collect revenues to support this Government, and keep direct tax off this people.

Thus are manufacturers protected and labor encouraged, and as labor is protected manufacturers prosper, and the farmer is enabled to sell his products at a very much higher price. Then you will see that the farmer, the laborer, the merchant, the mechanic, and in short everybody will come up together and help each other. Break down manufacturing establishments and you will drive latior to the fields and men*back to agriculture as you have no home market for your lab6r. You have then to depend on foreign markets, and the whole country will go into bankruptcy. Now, I make this proposition as plain and clear as the noou-day sun.

When I came to the people of different townships, I want to discuss these points fully, especially, and I want you to come and hear me. I will ask my opponent, whoever he may be, to canvass in joint debate, and I wantyou to come and hear us, if my opponent accepts. If he does not, I want you to come and hear me, anyhow. [Applause.] 1 think 1 shall be able to tell the people of this county that it is their duty to stand by the Republican party. Now, I have said to you, gentlemen, that I accept this nomination, expecting to be elected. If you will work just as faithfully, as I intend to, success is certain. [Applause Thanking you for the honor you have conferred on me, I will give way to my friend Curry, when he is ready to address you. [Cheers.]

The following resolutions were then read by Mr. Curry, from the Committee on Resolutions: 1. The Republicans of the Sixth Indiana Congressional District in convention assembled, pledge themselves to the election of the nominee of this convention and to the earnest and hearty support of the National and State Republican tickets and platforms. 2. That a party which attempts to shirk its responsibility by refusing to express an opinijn on a great question of national legislation like the tariff, by referring it to district meetings, betrays its unfitness to be entrusted with power [cheers,] that we dissent from the free trade notions of the present Democratic Representative from this district hold that the interests of all classes of our population require the protection of our coal and iron business from destructive competition by foreign underpaid labor aud that we remind all interested that they have no hope for protection except from the Republican party. 3. That the rapid development of our iron and coal fields, and the large and increasing amount of capital, labor and life involved in conducting these pursuits, demand the fostering care of our legisla* ture and that suitable provision should be made by law for drainage, ventilation, escapes, and other means of protection to the health and life of the miners and-laborers. [Applause.] 4. That we hereby recommend to the counties of this district that they look well to the composition of their county tickets that they put their best and and strongest men before the people for office that they close up the ranks of the Republican army, and, unless they "unconditionally surrender," "move Immediately on the enemy's works." [Great applause.] [Here the clarion voice of Col. Edwards, of Vigo, was heard ab6v»1fce din and confusion, shouting «hurrah for

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 14, 1872.

5. That the thanks ot the members of this Convention are due and tendered to the citizens of Brazil for their hospitable entertainment and we wish for themselves personal prosperty, and for their young city growing up in this vicinity, speedy rank as the iron city of the West. [Cheers. Voices, "Curry, Curry."]

Mr. Curry then took the stand and addressed the Convention for about an hour, though he did not at that time aud place, purpose making a speech in general discussion of the topics of the canvass. But he was ever ready to speak in any cause in which he was enlisted. On this occasion he would call especial attention to special matters. He said

Yesterday it was my privilege, not to say my pleasure, to attend a funeral. As a general thing funeials are not subjects for congratulation but the funeral of the Democratic party is. [Applause and laughter.]

Now I have been looking for this funeral for several years past. But my friends, some of them, have predicted that I am too sanguine in my expectation because that "great party of the nation," the Democratic party is too compact an organization. But I have always felt from the day that Grant beat the enemy at Vicksburg, and Meade at Gettysburg, that the Democratic party had received a death blow, and that its decease was only a question of time. [Applause.]

The speaker referred to the history of the Democratic party, the party being too near dead for reference. In politics Mr. Curry assumes two fundamental principles which govern him there as everywhere else. The one is the broad maxim of "honesty is the best policy believes he is the strongest politician and has the greatest influence, that is strictly honest in politics believes that when a politician deceives, he is sure to go to his political grave before he closes his career. Therefore, he thinks honesty in politics is the best policy, to say nothing of higher motives. He further believes, in the maxim that "experience is the best light to guide one" in politics. What he knew has happened in the past will happen in the future, under the same contingencies. He satd

Now, I believe that the Democratic party is destined to die. The experience of history teaches us that a party in a government like this opposes a war, and that war is a successfully waged, that the opposing party dies. We have bad four wars in this country in which our people have oeen engaged. There have been two parties in existence throughout each of these wars. The success of each war has resulted in the death of the party opposin* that war. [Applause.] Now this is the fundamental basis of my believing in the death of the Democratic party. [Great applause.]

The speaker went on to show that the Democratic party to avoid going out of existence, was ready and anxious to enter into negotiations with the "Liberal Republicans" and abide by the platform and nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, which really means the abandonment of their old and untenable theories of government and the accepting of the principles of the Republican party, headed by its greatest leader Horace Greeley. [Applause.] This as a matter of expediency, however.

The speaker liked to see the Democrats coming over to Republican principles, but objected to being crowded off of the platform of Republicaaism himself, and in behalf.of his party. The Democratic party expect to get control of the Government, as they did two or three times in old Whig times, in the case of General Harrison, for instance. Like they did when the lamented Lincoln was assassinated, and His Accidency,Andrew Johnson, came into power with his little "policy." Johnson, as all know, set up a Provisional Government in North Carolina. This Congress undid, when it convened, aud took some of Andy's power from him, so that his policy would not be so dangerons. Yet Andy was a great statesman, for he told us so, himself, when he "swung around the circle." Certainly that was good authority, [Laughter.] J"

Some claimed that Gen. Grant is no statesman.' Perhaps he ain't but is Johnson Of course he is, for he says so. [Laughter.] Some claim that Grant spends his time at Long Branch, accepts present^ appoints his cousins to office, is controlled by a military ring, and plays with puppy dogs. [Here the loyal hearts of the bread and butter briggade swelled to indignation, and official fists were clinched.] The speaker didn't believe the charges. Neither did he believe the charges that Grant is a drunkard and an imbecile. He had done more for the country than any other living man, and he believed him the greatest man living to-day. Still he was not in favor of him for President, nor never had been. Gen. John C. Fremont was and is his choice. [By the way, Freemont is a Liberal Republican.—CITY ED.]

The speaker believed, however, that Grant had made a good President in the past and that the charges enumerated were "trumped up" by those who were envious of him, and were without foundation in fact.-

Mr. Curry spoke at great length, but our space'will not admit of ^fuller report of his remarks.

Loud calls were then made for Major Glover, candidate for Treasurer of State on the Republican ticket, who was present. The Major came forward, and was introduced by the chairman as follows

FELLOW-CITIZENS OF THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT—I have the pleasure of introducing to you, Major John B. Glover, of Lawrence county, candidate for Treasurer of State. [Applause.]

Mr. Glover said: GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I certainly feel very much flattered by this demonstration yet lean hardly flatter myself that you* really desire a speech from me at this time. You simply desire to see the next Treasurer of Indiana. [Applause.] I therefore, come before you that you may have that gratification. The truth Is, I was raised over here in an adjoining oounty—probably one county between—on farm. I was brousht up in- the country, and.speech making has never been my business. Whatever reputation I have made, has beeby my acts. What, therefore, shall

HAUTE DAILY GAZETTE.

I say to you of the gallant and glorious young Republican party. Its achivementsare written on every page of his tory written for the last twelve years written in the history of the "Ameriean conflict," by Horace Greeley. [Applause.] If the Democrats want to see the record of the Republican party, I would also refer them to tbe files of the New York Tribune for the last ten years. [Renewed applause.]

But, gentlemen, I will not detain you in your unpleasant,positionsdown in that crowd. I am glad to meet you on this occasion. I desire to meet you often during the campaign for if I keep my health, I will spend as much money— legitimately though—as much time and as much trouble as any man who has been honored by a place on the State ticket, or any delegate on this floor. While my reputation is not very great, there are many here who have known me long and well. I believe I will say, though it may smack of egotism, that whatever reputation I have made has been for honesty. [Applause.]

In conclusion, gentlemen, I desire to say that General Grant, of whom you have heard so much from Mr. Curry, and Henry Wilson, as our National standard bearers, and General Browne as our standard bearer of the great State of Indiana, I say I believe we will scatter the cohorts of Democracy this fall as we were wont to scatter their cohorts in times past. [Great applause.]

Mr. Burrett moved that the thanks of the Convention be tendered the Hon. Wm. A. Montgomery for the marked ability which he made manifest in presiding over the deliberations of that body. Carried, amid a tempest of applause.

The Convention adjourned sine die.

WE learn that Mr. Spracklin, the enterprising senior member of the firm of Spracklin & Benard, boiler makers, suffered a broken leg yesterday, occasioned by a heavy piece of casting falling across that member. We trust the report is not true, for Mr. S. is one of our best business men, and is with alia courteous gentleman, and a business man whom the public cannot spare.

LAST night a ragged and antiquated individual ran down Main street quite rapidly, even frautically and the presumption is that he had a well developed hornet's nest harbored in his clothes.

TERRE HAUTE, June 13th, 1872. Editor of Gazette IR: I wish to call the attention of the public, especially of the city authorities, through the columus of your paper, on account of its unswerving devotion to the interests of the city. As yet we have not had any sign of that loathsome disease known as smallpox, and they say "c'eanliness is next to Godliness." Now if the city Board of Health officers would ouly earn a little of the money they draw from the city Treasury by inspection and labor, instead of by proclamations, they will find that one day's inspection of the city, and the enforcement of the ordinances, are worth double the amount of time and labor in issuing proclamations. Let them examine North Fifth street, from the Alton R. R. to the Vandalia R. R., and the LaFayette road, they will find enough for the Street Commissioner to do. He has not been here for over three weeks, and all the stagnant water is drying up, leaving the air have a very unhealthy stench to strangers passiner, and much more so to dwellers on either of those streets. Any cleaning up or gravel that was ever hauled to either of those places, was done by the order of the Chief of Fire Department. WeJjave two Councilmen certainly, ancr#ftrhave we a man in the moon, for all the good either of them do in this respect. We have a Street Commissioner and he knows just as much about the business, as a school boy does about making a watch. If the Council would not encourage men, who prostitute their votes, by giving them $1,200 offices, the city would be in a healthy condition at present. Respectfully, &c.,

Editors of the Terre Haute Gazette: The question is settled. The banker and merchant have met in Council, and have resoluted. They christened it an or dinance. All whom it may conceru, rest perfectly easy. Small-pox must now go to its native cottage by the sea, and cline on the faithful breast that is waiting for it. A secondary object in the language of the above, will be the restoration of "CONFIDENCE." Let us confide. And still further in our sense of security, why not all of us have a guard at our front door, and remain at home with our little families? It would give needed employment to many enterprising citizens.

Seriously—when banker and merchant favor the Council with their views on such matters, we may infer that CONFIDENCE is slightly shaken. An.i, unifected readers, the common Council will meet again, if you will patiently wait yet a little while longer. At the next meeting we will inquire who ought to determine what further steps are necessary to restore entire confidence.

P. S.—I never had it myself, but I am happy in the belief that after one fatal attack, I shall be comparatively exempt. Let us all confide again. W.

Castoria—a substitute for Castor Oil—a family physic which is pleasant to take aud does not distress or gripe, but is sure to operate when all other remedies have failed. It is a purely vegetable preparation, containing neither Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol, the result of fifteen years experimenting by Dr. Samuel Pitcher. It is perfectly harmless and far more effective than Pills, Narcotic Syrups or Castor Oil. By soothing the system it produces natural sleep, and is particularly adapted to crying or teething children. It kills Worms, cures Stomach Ache, Constipation, Flatulency, and Derangement of the Liver. No family can afford to be without this article. It costs but 50 cents—ask your druggist to get it for you, and he will always keep it. J. B. Rose & Co., 53 Broadway, New York.
