Thc County Conveistloo. The County Convention on Sat urday afternoon, tho official report of which will be found in our loral columns, was a fitting prelude to the grand campaign upon whieh the Union party of Vigo is about to enter. With no prelim, inary flourishing of trumpets, or other special efforts to call out tha people, the Court Hou.-e was filled. The proceedings, throughout, Wfrre characterized by perfect harmony, and though thero was little of that boisterous hilarity which mirks the moro advanced stage* of a political can vans, there was apparent that quiet, do termined ti.ergy which affords the surest guaranty of success. Those of the opposition who had flattered themselves with the hope of seeing any indication of discord in our ranks must have been signally disappointed by the total absence of anvthing resembling dis'Sohslon- or strifeThere are two excellent reasons why the Union party of this county and State will continue to disappoint all who count on any advantage to accrue to the Democracy from a lack of unanimity among us. In the first place, there are great principles at stake on which the entire party are agreed as one man and in the success of which we are too much interested to adthit of quarreling about minor matters And in the second place, when we see the old enemy drawn up iti line of battle, breaking his jawR in tho vain effort to articulate an unaccustomed vocabulary— twisting his tongue in horrible grimaces to utter stolon benedictions on "greenbacks" instead of the hereditary Democratic curse on all paner money—we feel that we have no time to foment "family broils" till we have' stripped tho efaemy of his mask and driven him back to the uso of his mother tongue in cursing "LHIpolit rags"

A-tthe close of thft business for which the Convention had been called, Hon. W. Thompson delivered a brief address Our citizens ai'e too 'familiar with his oratorical powers to require the assurance that in dignity of style, force of logic and elegance of diction, this address would not suffer by comparison with the best efforts of our ablest statesmen.' Any attempt at a synopsis of the speech would do injustice to the speaker, for the same reason that a perfect structure cannot be fairly represented by any of its parts.

The Supremo tou'rt and UecoiriTVtiOTl. The dccisicin cf the Supreme Court of the Unileci States, rendered 011 Monday, in tho case of Georgia against Secretary Stanton, General Gran^t and Major General Poke, will, Aye suppose, put at rest all fears on the part of those wh^ have had "apprehensions that tho Court would undertake £0 decide upon the constitutionality of politico! tneufiures passed bv Cooirrose. Tho opinion was delivered by Associate Justice Nelson, who ha alys been a member of thc Democratic party, but who, on this occasion, shows that be is not willing to sink the character of Judge into that of -a mere partisan.— The cai-e is of tho utmost importanco, in view of its Soaring upon the policy of reconstruction.

ffjlotice till' IjHon Voter sonified in .Mass Con-

ventfim si this Court House, in Terre Haute, Saturday, February 8th, for tho purpose ofselecting Delegates to the State Convention to be held at Indianapolis February 20th.

Linus A. B.ucnett, Esq., Chairman of the $oi|jR^^ntral Committee,- palled the meeting'to order and'stated the object the same.

On his motion Col. John P. Baird $$as chosen Chairman of the Convention. Col. Baird iin taking the Chair returned thanks for the honor conferred upon him and reviewed the present state of parties and the questions 8t issue between them} in a brief and spirited manner.

On motion, J. O. Jones was appointed Secretary. Col. R. W. Thompson offored tho following Resolution:

Resolved, That a Committee of one from each Township bo appointed, for the purpose of reporting resolutions expressive of the sense of the Meeting.

Th« Chair appointed tho following Odtnmittee*. Honey'Crkek—Col. R. W. Thompson

Harrison—John G. Crain. Fatktte—Wm. L. Shuey. Pierson—Charles Coffin. Linton—Mr. Allen. Sugar Creek—W. W. Casto. Otteb Crbek—Robert Brigge. Prairieton—Lawren Ball. Riley—David Lee. Prairie Crekk—-Orson Morgan. Lost Creek—Henry Fairbanks, Nkvins—Henry White. Isaac N. Pierce offered the following Resolution, Which was adopted.

Resolved, That as tho Stu,tc Executive Committee has called the Republican State Convention to assemble at Indianapolis on the 20th inst., to be represented on the basis of one delegate for every 100 votes and an additional delegate for every fraction over 50 votes cast for Nelson Trusler for Secretary of State in 1868, whieh basis is hereby adopted, entitling Vigo county to 32 delegates, apportioned to townships as follows

Harrison 17 I Riley 1 HoneyCreek...... 2 Lost Creek 1 Prairieton' 1 I Kevins 1 Prairie Creek 1 Otter Creek.. 1 Linton.... 1 Fayette 2 Pierson 1 Sugar Creek 2

The fraction in'township3 provides for another delegate, that the same be given to the county at large, and that Hon. Richard W. Thompson be, and ho is hereby designated^ such delegate.

Resolved, That the delegates to be appointed ahall ba authorized tofill t»ny vacancy. I

L. A. Burnejt offered the following res.

olution: Resolved, That a committee of one from each Township be appointed to report the names of delegates to the State Convention.

The pill wa? filed by Georgia, and prayed that Secretary Stanton, General Grant, and Major General Popj be restrained and enjoined, from carrying into effect the reconstruction acts of Congress. It alieged that Uu^e acts were -unconstitutional,'"because, as Georgia,.at the close of the civil war, became possessed of nil the rights belonging to a State in tbe Union, and w»» thereby entitled to representation in Congress,-. fcUat State whs depriveri, uiie«.n8kit«H?A%3ly, threw rights by therlegiaittln.fi x{ pJoffgrtss the Stat« Government btiiig. overthrown by it. The Court, in disposing of the case, says that it has no jurisdiction to decide such a question, and very properly assigns ass reason therefor, that its province is to determine judicial awl not. political ques. tions. TV rccogn^zea the' Constitutional distinction betfc^eh' fbV*''departments of Government—and .say# that tbe political poweHs altogether jn hands of the Legislative *nd ilKd Judiciary have nothing to do with fc

any

thing to weaken the authority of Congress in tbe work of resoJ33!r'4ctisp. On the other hand, they have or.iy/embnStrated their' own fo'ly in sfekin, id establish

ne% construction of the Constitution, which, if they hadeucceedfld, w^ld have postponed: and, possibly, put an end to, the Congressional plan of reconstruction,

ThS result Will gratifV tho-loyal men of the country, because it- will teach these disturbers of tho peace, that they caa get no assistance from this high cotirt in their unceasing efforts to reconstruct the State governments of tho South upon a disloyal basis. Will they be made wiser by the rtouU? Wo shall see., 1

J. O. Jones moved to amend as follows .-

Resolved, That the citizens present from the peveral townships of the county and Wards of the city select tho Delegates, and that the Convention take a recess of half an hour for that purposo,'Mr. Burnett accepted the amendment and resolution was adopted, and the Convention adjourned.

Upon the re-assembling of tho Con_ vention the committee on resolutions through their Chairman the Hon. R. W. Thompson reported the following which were received with applause by the meet ing, and unaa imously adopted.

President Lincoln, and, after him President Johnson, expressed the opinion that tbe rebellion had the cffect to deprive the people of the rebel States of all civil Governments. The former under* took, by kindness and conciliation, to employ the rebel element in those States to bring them back to their practical relations with the Union, and failed. Th3 latter undertook, by harsher means, to accomplish the same object through the loyal element, without regard to color, and also failed. It then became the duty of Qmgress, under the constitution, to provide for the restoration of harmony to the Union, by seeing that each one of those States was provided with a Government Republican in form. This was done in obedience to the loyal sentiment of the North, and with unexampled justice and moderation, by proposing to amend the constitution so that, (1) all citizens of the United States should be protected from anv infringement of their privileges and immunities —(2,) all the States of the Union should have conceded and secured to them tho right to docido for themselves who should and who should not vote, within their several jurisdictions —(3) all public officers who had violated their oaths by taking part in tho rebellion, should bo prohibited from again holding

fl5ce —(4) by recognizing the validity of the public debt of tbe nation and (5) by prohibiting the recognition of tho debt incurred in aid of the rebellion.

Tbeso liberal propositions,—made, in good faith by the loyal people of the North, were madly rejected and spurned hy the rebels of the Soytb, wbp, in lieu of thom, havodemanded_\\\i\i they,shall be recognized as having committed no crime against the nation by their traitorous efforts to destroy it —that their appeal from "the ballot to the bullet" wa.s or ly patriotic effort to achieve their inde-, pendance of the despised dominion of the Union —and that thoy have hove, in consequence therof, forfeited no right whatever but, on the other hand, are entitled to full equality with those who defended the lifo of the nation when they assailed it. And they have so- insolently insisted on this demand as to demonstrate that the spirit of the rebellion is not broken, and' that if their claim of "State Sovereignty'7 is again conceded to theni, thoy may only liivnit anoth.-r uiid mora favorable opportunity ty complete their #yorli of destruction'i The nation cannot vloid to this demand without shonor—without turning the victories of its gallant soldiers into deeds of shame. Its integrity and authority must be maintained, at every hazard and at whatever cost. The Unum. must bo restored to ito former harmony and concord, by the employment of all the civil and military authority it, pos* sosees. And when restored, it myst te

Convention of Vigo County

publican' declare*: X. The Congressional plan of reconstruction was made necessary by the re_ ection of theX!ohstitutional Amendmentf and -if the Southerri people'will not upon the cortdttion prescribed by that plan,' become ^bo friends of the Union, it is the duty- of Congress to. do whatever the -emergency requires, to prevent them^ Jfrom'doing harm as enemies: Upon, a" question §0 vital as this, the duties of the Government become the measure of its jxnofTS' 2 The enfranchised slaves, in all the States^hould receive, in common with all their-inhabitants, equal protection io-evory right of person and property. 3. The eztennoK of suffrage to the negroes of the South was necessary to counteract the influenced the rebellion —it was better that they should be made voters to save tho life of the nation, tbftn

that the rebels should have been permitted to destroy it. 4. In the Northern Slates there is no necessity for extending suffrage to the negroes —these States having the right to decide that question for themselyee, independently of Congress, it is, in no sense, a national question, and its agitation in this State, at this time, is unwise and impolitic,—the subject of changing our State Constitution not being before the people, and there being no disposition on the part of the Union Republican party of the State, to make it so. 5. The Government of,the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, consistently with the public safety-and interest. 6. All taxes should be laid so as to fall upon articles of luxury^ and not upon those of necessity, and it is the duty of the Government to relieve the country from the burden of income taxation at as early a period as posible. 7. In funding the public debt of the United States, air new issues of bonds should be at tne lowest possible rate of interest, and should be made taxable. 8. The present public debt was made necessary by the rebellion, and should be honestly paid. AH bonds should be paid in legal-tender-notes, commonly called greenbacks, except where, by their express terms, they stipulate otherwise and paid in such quantities as will make the circulation comensurate with the .com mercial wants of the country, and so as to avoid too great inflation of the currency, and an increase thc price of gold. 9. The services of our gallant and heroic Soldiers and Sailors must be fully recognized, and the means provided for paying Bounties and Pensions, not only to thoEe who survive, but to the widows and orphans of such as fall in defence of the Union. 10. The dostrine of Great Britain and other European powers, that because a man is once a citizen he is always .so, must bo resisted, at evory hazard, by tho United Stases, as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by the laws of nations, and at war with our honor and independence as a nation. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native born, and citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment in ijurope, for acts done or words spoken iu this country and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government immediately to interfere in his behalf. 11. The happy combination of prudence, discretion, sound judgment, and common sense possessed by General Ulyskss S. Grant, peculiarly fit him for tho Presidency at such a time as this: —these qualities will enable him to bring the ship of State into a quiet haven, as they have already enabled him to save imperilled life of the nation, and win for himself the title of

tlthe

first Captain of

the age." 12. We cheerfully recognize the claims of Governor Conrad Baker upon f,he people of the State:—his faithful discbarge of all Executive duties, and his unblemished integrity furnish the strong est guai antee that every public trust hereafter confided to 'him, will be promptly and honestly executed. 13. We invite our political adversaries into the field of fair and manly argument, without hardness or crimination. We honestly believe that ours is the cause, not merely of the country, but of humanity,—that our failure, in the approaching Presidential canvass, will endanger the existence of the Government, and that our success will plant its foundations so firmly that they can never be hereafter shaken.

Hon. John P. Usher offered the following resolution, and advocated Its adoption in a brief argumentative disquisition upon the present financial statU3 of the country

5 1

Reso.'ved, That if Congress provides by law for a new loan, into which the existing debt of tho United States may be converted, the interest upon such loan free of tax should not exceed three and one-half per cent per annum, (payable in coin.) Snch rate of interest (payable in coin,) being, in the opinion of this Convention, equal to tho ordinary rate of interest upon loans subject to taxation.

Hon. John G. Crain opposed tho adoption of the resolution, preferring to leave the financial question as reported by the Committee and adoptod by the Convention. Col.

Both result from th«- lack of ability to conv«rt the food into nutriment. How neccitary, then, for those suffering from these alarming symptoms to immediately resort tea remciy that will n(lengthen tbe stomach and digestive organs.— For, as soon ar this desirable object has been accomplished, the health improves, and the patient resumes-hie us a il pertonal appearance. IiO*TEITEB'S STOMACH BITTEBS have attained a world-wide popnlarity in such ca.es, aud bate ben proved the best and safest means rf removing constipation, toning the stomach, giving energy to the liver, and relieving every symptom of nervosa and depression cf spirits. 11» cheering and beneficial effects are highly spoken of by thousand*, who owe to It tieir restoration to health. No restorative la the annals of rnedl cine has attained the same popularity in the short spafe of time it has been beiore the public, or haa won the high endorsements accorded to th.B excellent tonic.

And at this time it teems idle to do more than call attention to groat remedy of the age, in order to awakes pub 11c attention to its excellence.
