INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 18
THE AMERICAN CONVENTION.

The assemblage was not very numerous,
but embraced good deal Of substantial weight
and character; some of the unpurchasable stuff
was liz the market. The Convention was
treated with great courtesy by both Houses of
the Legislature, the Representatives giving
up their Hall in the afternoon and the Senate
adjourned that their members might attend
the meeting. A preliminary meeting Of the
Convention was held in the Supreme Court
Room, for organization and consultation.
The conclusion of the conference was to seek
no alliances with either Of the other parties
to stand firmly upon the fundamental princi-
Piles of the party-to keep aloof from all minor
issues, and leave wide latitude for the exer.
else of individual opinions on all minor topics.
All secret organization was dispensed with
and all religious or sectarian prescription dis
carded. The most important present purpose
for which the party should labor. is to obtain
an amendment Of our State Constitution tc
confine the right of suffrage to citizens Of the
United States by birth, and regular cours,
Of naturalization.
From the Court room the Convention ad
journed to the Hall Of the House of Represen
tatives, where the Hon. Richard W. Thompson
addressed them in a speech nearly two hour
in length, in an out-pouring of his most pow
erful and electrifying eloquence; it was one o
his happiest efforts. In the evening the com
mittee reported resolutions embodying tn,
leading views of the party, which were sus
tanned in strong and sensible speech from
Mr.. Gregg, of the New Albany Tribune.
