invest several thousand dollars In purchasing
the needed machinery. These the company pro-
: Oses to aid. It is asserted that applications
b cd been received for renting machinery to the

From the Indianapolis eentinel, May 2lst.l
The Convention.

We publish this morning, ss full . report oi
the proceedings Of tbe Convention which as.
sembled 10 this city yesterday, as our space will
permit. Ii was the most numerous assemblsge
Of the people ever held In Indiana to take
counsel together upon the condition Of the
country. We have attended al the public as
ssmblsges Of the people at the State capital for
years, and We only repeat the common remark
Of members OF all political parties that the Con.
yention of yesterday was not only the most
numerous shat ever assembled In the State, but
that 10 character 1t was the most imposing.
The crowd is variously estimated at from fifty
to seventy-fve thousand, and they we're nearly
ell voters. The demonstration gave evidence
that the fire of liberty yet burned In the heartt
of the people. IL was not an assemblage to sd
vance party schemes, 10 nominate candidates
for public position, or to promote the perepn
al interests Of men. The only object was Il
