ARMED REsIsrANcE TO rnE DRAFr.-The
Yankee authorities have become aware
that formidable secret organization, per.
vadiBg all the States is in existence, the
object of which is to resist the enforce
nent of the draft and defeat its purpo-
ses. How very formidable this organiza-
ton is believed to be, may be gathered
from the fact Gen. Heintzleman, COM
manding at Cincinnati, has issued an or
der prohibiting the railroad, express or
other forwarding companies from for
warding or. delivering firearms powder
and ammunition of any kind, within tie
limits of the States of Ohio, Indiana, II
linois and Michigan for the next sixty
days without a permit from head
quarters. Also, prohibiting dealers in
these articles from selling the same within
the time.
Gov. Morton, of In sians, recently in a
recent address, announces that large
quantities of arrns and ammunition have
been found secreted in the State, and
there remains much more undiscovered.
Coy. Brough, of Ohio, is out in an address
to the people announcing that resistance
to the draft viii be severely punished,
and imploring the people to obey the
laws.

THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.

Several months ago a portion of the
radical Union men, those who had al
wayt been finding fault with the Presi-
dent. because he was not quite fast
enough TO suit their ideas; those who
were constantly urging him 10 more rad
ical measures who thought rebels and
eopperheads had no rights worthy of re-
speci, and that the right of habas corpus
might be suspended, or the Constitution
violated, provided it was necessary to
punish rebels finding that Old Abe's
popularity was so great they could not
possibly hope to defeat him al the Balti-
more Convention, especially after Sec,
Chase bad declined in his favor. They
therefore ~concocted the scheme Of calling
q National Convention at Cleveland, o.
They charged that there could be
nothing fair in the Convention at Balti-
more. The oficeholders and Union
Leagers had forestalled public opinion.
They were not willing TO support Mr.. Lin
coin because some Of the Censerva tives
occasionally praised him, and here and
there a Copperhead asowed a determin-
alton to vote for him.
There were three separate calls for a
Convention at Clevelana, all to meet on
The same day. The first call was head
ed by Gratz Brown, and was signed by
q good many prominent radicals, among
them Bird. B. Chapman. The second
call came frsm John Cochran and other
New York Democrats, former supporters
Of Gov. Seymour. Last call was from
the Fremont Cub.
We watched The progress of the Con.
Venlion movement with considerable in-
tsrest, as We thought Mr.. Lincoln bad
treated the radicals 10 Missouri rather
badly. But the result of the Cleveland
Convention astonished US. We certain
~ expected them to adopt a very radical
platform. In it we are disappointed.
They were the last men in tie cOun.
try who should have pandared to expe-
diency or have affiliated with Copper
heads.
When they met they found themselves
composed of divers distinct and opposing
clicks, agreeing only in their haired Of
Mr.. Lincoln. In The convention were
very few men of very much distinction.
The radicals and Germans were largely
represented from Missouri, New York
was pretty fully represented by Radical
Germans, by original aboliiionisis and
by Doth War Democrats and Copperheads
Oiher States did not send large numbers.
Several states were unrepresented. A
