IHDEAHAFoIIs, June 18th, 1862,
mdiznapolis yesterday Was thronged with
people from everypaft Of the State upon the
occaaion Of the meeting Of the Unconditional
Union Convention. Politicians Of the small
kind and the large kind, and the politicallead-
ers Of the Republican aud Democratic parties,
without animosities or partizan jealousies,
leaving behind them the worn out gar
n1ents Of party differences, and clad in
the marital robes Of devotion to the Union
came up before the altar Of country. Joined
hands harmoniously and were united In one
By their own free 1.-The people as one man
bidding the mulhtudinous couple God.speed-
The heavy rains Of the past fen days furnished
the turner's with brief leisure, and they came
also with their wives and children to this
memorable Convention, Democratic and Re-
publican politicians from other States came
from curiosity, and disconsolate specimens OF !
the Secession Bright, VOORHEES, & Co. Democ-
racy we're uponthe ground cautiously feeling |
the popular pulse. It was remarked that be.
fore the day ended they found that pulse beat
ing in remarkably healthy manner
The details Of this Convention have al
ready telegraphed, and will therefore omit
matters OF Organization, appointments Of Conn
n,ittees, etc, and elaborate few points OF
general interest without any connected refer

TIE CAucUsEs.
| Prior to the organization Of the Convention,
the two parties met in separate caucus to pre-
| pare resolutions expressive Of their views and
| 10 be submttted-as recommendations only
| to the Committee on Resolutions when ap-
pointed. The Republicans took the brosd
ground that in the present emergency the
people OF Indiana forgetting party differences
themselves to aid with men and money the
prosecution Of this Wat now being waged only
TO sustain the Union, uphold the Constitution
and preserve the Republic, and not to stay the
sword until these ends were attained.
The Democratic resolutions / send You en-
tire as they arc remarkably bold In their utter
apces and contain one expression which was
the only political alluson directly Or indirectly
brought before the Convention or its commit
tees. It Is contained in the third general reso-
, luton: t' or Of radical Abolitionists." 1t WAS
strongly urged By some in the caucus, but, as
will be perceived, does not appear in the req
olutions adopted by the Convention. The
f following are the
