The HAS Convention.

The Convention Of Monday last was one of the largest
and most enthusiastic gathc rings we have ever seen IN ln-
diana. notwithstanding the roads are in n worse condi-
ton. and the streams higher than they have been for ma
ny years past notwithstanding the rains which for tie
past two months have continued almost without, a day.
iniermission aud notwithstanding we have NJ a1van-
'sses Of water navigation the crowd nevertheless wa-
immense. and many from far distant counties. We esli-
male the number at between five aud six thousand, some
estimate IT much higher. One gentleman who was at The
late Wing gathering at TiPpecanoe, thinks there were
more people here than there, though tie Squirt Gun hlse-
W claims that there were 25 1000 at Tippecanoe. The pro-
cession which was formed here. and which did not embrace
large number who were present, extended from brakes
Hotel to White River Bridge. The heavens seemed to
emile propi,iousy upon the jyous scene; the clouds
which in The morning threatened continual rain, broke
away aud disappeared at about 10 O'Clock, and The glori-
Gus sunshine. with which we had scarcely been blessed for
weeks. poured down with uncommon brilliancy durin, the
whole Of the rst Of the day.
The most enthusiastic aud cheerful spirit animated eve

with the anne generous spirit of union. harmony, sell de-
NAL, and a deep seated and glowing desire for the triumph
of our principles and the men who will carry them into
practice IN the great Offices Of The Goyemment. Nor
could any man. who witnessed the enthusiasm Of tie hon
est masses who had come up To the assembly fr the puT-
pose OF greeting one another. and seeking To perfect our
strength, Tor the good work. for an instant doubt of TIE
glorious issue which awaits US in November. We shall
beat The Clay wings in Indiana L. THOUSAND
VOTES. OF this we have no doubt and the result VIII
show that we have rather moderated than ov,rrated our
strength.
We have atien' ed many bir'ccue<. both on the y,
tons Bnti, Day, aud on political occasions but we new
er saw the perfect ord T and general good conduct which
prevailed at this exceiIci or even equaiied. The Commit

who were present were compelled to keep sober or 60 some.

There is rumor from Nashville that Gen. Jack

terday. which strongly exemplifies the indomitable
will and iron constitution of the ex-President. It
is said he is now suffering from the effects of a
wound received in his celebrated duel with Dr.
Dickerson. 1t will be remembered that after the
Doctor had fred, the General reserved his shot
and took deliberate aim at his antagonist. The
Doctor exclaimed, All General now you have
me y jackson fired, and the doctor fell The
Doctors previous shot had however taken effect,
hitting the General under the heart and breaking
two Of his ribs notwithstanding the pan The
wound was concealed at the time until recently
II became painful and it is said the frequent he

results of this injury. 1t will be remembered that

savage rencontre, was extracted during his Pres-
