VEVAY, INDIANA:

otl» address to llic people of the State was delivered by Robert Dale Owen, which received the admiration and unbouhded applause oC.the Convention.

The Feds at Indianapolis appear to manifest greatasiomshmcnt that tho Convention had the good sense to nomlqato Gen. Howard for Govt ernor: Yea! It lias not only astonished (ho federal Junto of Indianapolis, Uu the whole, mass of that party throughout the State, that the Democracy of Indiana should haye evinced -wisdom enough to put in nomination a man whose character stands so-fair among the people,and whose reputation is so unimpeachable, A, Howard. No doubt they' would have been very ; much elated hid4be Convention selected an in- ! dividual.who was in anywise identified with the internal jimprovciuenisystem, or whose past political litc rendered him assailable in the slightest degree. | But it is not so with. Gen Howard! With a man tike him, who stand so high in. the 1 estimation of his fellow-citizens—who asa-poli-1 lician i»so honest, and whose reputation, is as unspotted as the dews from Heaven, wo cannot help-but■succeed hi spite of their shafts.

The river commenced rising very rapidly on Sunday lest which caused the ice to give way, from whicii time up to tho present it has'continued to nin out very fast.' ‘The rise at this place, up to Thursday evening,; was about IS feet. The cold weather for a few days past, however, lias rather caused a chock in the rise, ami-it is now slowly receding. 1 The Hen Franklin made a trip from .

THE CONVENTION.

The Slate Convention assembled;at, Indianapolls on the Sth inst., dnd never did wjb witness a greater turn out of Democracy present on'til at occasion. To grvoiimltScact description ofit, would require an than we profc?a to wield. Nearly cverylcounty in th? Staio was fully The harmony and. unanimity of action characterized the whole proceedings;.and in shprt it was a dayjTjf unprecedented triumph and rejoicing for jlie Democracy of Indiana. Tha Whigs for the last few-years, and longer foe aught wo know, liftvp chimed all the decency—all the integrity—all the ulent—but could they have been present on the occasion of the Sth, they would have dropped ilicir ammunition and their guns, and cried out for quarters, as some Uiat were there certainly did. Th'e day previous to tbo Cfonvention, the delegates that had arrived assembled in the Sujpreme court room and interchanged iheir/optnioua one among another; and at night ((ie RcprojBentativea 1 Hall was crowded to overflowing,.,in which there was speaking until about II o’clock; Each one, as ho was called upon, expressed liis opinions freely about men ami measures, in which the delegation from this county took part. OX the morning of the,6 th, at 9 o’clock, thoCoiivcntioa met in solemn deliberation at the State House, a procession was formed, in'which Geri. Lo.\i acted as Marshal of the day. The procesbio’i marchedriil double file through tho principal streets of thefcapitol, producing,by the magiiituuu of numbers, great discomfiture to the Whig lookers on—and byMhe intellectual and magnanimous.appearance of the procession, a death blow to alt their boasted views of Democracy. . One-argument cgiinst us was that wc were the “ru" tag niuf 6oMmV’of creation; but on this occasion wc taugUtthom to singa diOcrcm tiinfe. , , xitc procession halted in f:o:it of the Methodist church, a very spacious building wfflUihad teen provided for the deliberations of tho Convention by appointed for that purpose. The trustees of the church considering the building inadequate to accommodate such a largo- concourse of people, without imminent danger of the galtcrics giving way, very politely communicatcd.the same jo tile Marshal, Gen. Loxo, whereupon tho procession returned to the Hall of }(eprcscntaltvcs, where, with much inconvenience for want of room, tho important buerttess of the day was transacted with deliberation and good order. * About halfpast 9o'clock the Convention was temporarily organized by calling Gen. Jous Milhot to tho Chair, assisted by Akdrcw Wilsox • and Samuel Welch, Two vencrabtodld sages of the. Revolution, whose hoary. locks bespoke forthem a time worn experience in tho cause of pa* triotism and Democracy. A committee was then appointed- to report officers to preside over the Convention, which committee, after a short retirement, .returned and reported as follows: NaTHASinL West, of Marion, President; Andrew Wilson, George Boon, Samuel Welch, Elisha j Long, Henry Hoover, and Thomas Mason, Viet ■ Freiidents; Jas. P. Carlton, C. W. Hutchcn.and Alex- E. Glenn, ScVtarier. The delegation from each county were then called, who produced their credentials, arid thoConvention was fairly organized, A preamble and resolutions, prepared by a committee appointed purpose, wore read by the chairman of the committee, the Hon. E. Chamberlain,’ and unanimously adopted by the Convention. A committee, composed of delegates from each Senatorial district, (72m number) wero appointed to select candidates for Governor and Lieut. Governor, and retired for thatpurpose. During tins absence of-thin committee, an able and spirit-

‘ The Convention, having transacted the - ness for which it had assembled, in. perfect liar*mony and concert of action, adjourned about 10 o'clock on the evening of tho Sth, fully determined to carry out its deliberations to the letter, in Auiust and November next.,. : «, 5 To distinguish a Whig from a Democrat in the 'streets of Indianapolis, a day'after tho ■ Convention, it was only’ necessary to observe Uio grim And lengthened visages of certain of|ln_ citizens as they‘leisurely stalked through tho city', with downcast looks and iorrowful countenances. -

Another Whig Defaulter.

Wc learn from a Tennessee-paper that tho report- of tbo joint select committee of that State, pri common school moneys, show that the superintendent, Robert McEwing(a Wmo) is a defaulter to the amount of £123,724 43. The committeo was composed of members ■ of both political parlies, and the report signed by them all. Wonder if tlio Whigs will try as hard to swear McEwIrig into the Democratic ranks bs *t|iey did the notorious Stearlicoul! Wo dial) see.

The Convention held on the 8th inst., at Indianapolis, having- discharged its duly, it is now the province ofall true Democrats throughout the $tate, unanimously, cordially, and warply, to' support tho ; nomination. Unity and harmony will ensure victory; .while division and discord will be attended with certain defeat! Whigs and whig measures in Indiana, have uniformly triumphed through thcsupiucncss of their opponents, and the treacherous and deceitful cry of “so party.” Moderation, liberality, and no proscription for honest opinions, has been their constant theme; while by their intrigues they managed elections, and have been over found “nailing in the green . spolt” and enjoying tbo emoluments of the most important and lucrative offices in tho State, to the almost total exclusion of their Democratic neighbors. As their cant can no longer bo serviceable, they will now have recourse to every.Elratagcm- which cunning can devise, and nto eVery species of deception which their ingenuity can invent, to promote discord in the Democratic ranks, that they may divide and conquer theta. If is not to bo expected, th*t our political free-bootera will surrender their places without a severe [struggle.
