How President Lincoln Got the
Indiana Nomination

Is thus explained by the Indianapolis Ga
zette. Republican organ, which says:
1t was the Mass Convention that did 1t,
and the way it was done is this The Con-
yention was organized by the appointment
of a temporary chairman, who seems to have
been in the secret OF the intended move
ment, and scarcely had he taken his seat be-
fore resolution was offered ind0rsing Gov
ernor Morton, whom all present were IN
favor of, and instructing the Indiana dele
cation for Lincoln. The consequence was
that to vote against one man was to oppose
the other. This resolution the chairman
hastily put and pronounced it carried,
without calling for the negative. Some one
seeing the trick, then moved the following
resolution:
Resolred, That the delegates to the Ma
tional Convention from this State shall re-
main perfectly free and untrammeled TO
cast their votes for President and Vice Pres
ident as will, at the time, be most conducive
to the welfare of the country and the honor
of the State. ..
This resolution the chairman refused to
put.
The whole proceeding is thus characteriz-
ed by the Gazette:
II was most unfair and shameless trick,
an outrage upon all parliamentary rules,
upon all precedent, and upon decency ltseli,
as well as upon the feelings and rights oil Q
large number of delegates who werepresent.
| The like, we venture, TO say, nevor was
known before in respectable delibera-
tive body.
The Journal, the other Republican paper,
published in Indianapolis, speaks of the pro-
| ceedings as an serror," and describes it as
| likely to have damaging effect upon the
Union cause in Indiana. The Germans OF
! indianapolis have signed protest. against
ssthe fraud" as they term it and prominent
men throughout the State have taken occa-
sion to denOunce 1t. T VIZ

Predictions.

Under this head, the Albany Statesman,
radical, perpends as follows:
Roth parties will be competing for the
advantage of running Gen. Grant for the
Presidency before their National Conven-
tions.
hv the Republican Convention; because
Stewards friends mean to serve him as his
friends served Seward in 1860, because
Chase's friends are determined to defeat
him at all hazards; because Fremont Will De
nominated in self-defense if Lincoln is re-
nominated; and because politicians are 100
shrewd to take the risk Of running him..
Chase win not be nominated because few
but mercenaries even pretend to be Tor MN.
Fremont will not be nominated (though
no ouoht to bel, because he Is too candid
and consistent to suit the politicians who
betrayed and abandoned him In 1860, and
who have been invested with sufficient
mower by this Administration to enable
them to defeat the right. His friends, how
ever. will have power enough TO say who
shall be the next President. -,
| Gen. Grant will be the candidate OF the
IInion Convention of the 9TH Of June; not
because he wants the nomination or will
consent to be a candidate, but because the
Union party want, and the people viii have
him. He will not be allowed to decline.
Should the Union Convention fail to rur
Grant, there win be snch a popular disap-
nointment as will lead to peoples move
ment In his favor and his adoption by thu
Chicago Democratic Convention. The more
a meritorious man don't want once, TN
more the people want him. Even LincolI
MIGHT have stood fair chance for a re-elec
tion. II. like Pierce and Buchanan, he has
not beerI over jealous for q denomination. 4
4 The Legislature Of New York will no
i pass the Lincoln resolutions because In tn
\ first place the Seward men. are opposed I.
them. and in the second place the Grant
Fremont and Butler men will not tolerat
the attempt to forestall them. a yaii

ernor of Tennessee, evidently drawing itas

~ A large number of soldiers and Govern

scribed by Governor johnson, and are you
willing to subscribe to it?" Answering In
the Affirmative, his vote was received.
Among the voters were members OF regi-
ments from Indiana, and other States, but
chiefly the 18th Michigan, the Invalid corps
and inmates of hospitals. Goyernmentem-
ployes were well represented, large num-
bers voting in all the wards, as far as our
observation permitted us tojudge.
In view of the facts thus mildly set out
by Gov. JoHNsoN's own organ, the editor OF

threats and Establishments of secession, ex-
claims:

Such is the mockery of law and justice
and public decency, whereby Mr.. LINCOLN
is abolishing slavery in the Southern States
.as means of reconstructing the Union
The thing, says PRENTICE, is enough to
make the blood boil and leap up in the veins
of every manly patriot in the land.

The Report OF General Mcclellan is pro,
ducing marked sensation IN. the radical

is onened on him from Tribunes and Sena-
tnrs Pop-gun politicians at street corners
abuse him. and females who wish they were,
and try to be men, utter shrill screams OF
indiqnation. The whole pack Is in full cry
after him. Meantime, regiments OF soldiers
coming home from the war evince their de-
yotion TO him by the most enthusiastic DEM
'onstrations, and thinking men read the re-
mort and are convinced that purer patriot
and a more able general and statesman than
Mcclellan is not at the present day living
