FROM INDIANA,
The Political Situation.
Sketches oftllc PHILADELPHIA Delegates.

Having been often asked, by various inuf-
vilua1s of late, who and what were the John
sun delegates to the Philadelphia Convention
Of August 14tl, will endcayor to answer
them through the TRIBUNE, though must
confess that the current biographies ofa few
Of them arc barren aifairs. To commence,
then, with the delegates ut large. Vim. s.
Smith. Of Allen, better known as Pop Gun
Smith, is third-ratc politician, who was
originally gunsmith, and turning bis atten-
tion to politics, cast Ills lot In with the De-
nlocracy, with whom he laborcd until 1860,
when he turned his coat, came out for Lin
coin, und did pretty good service In his shirt
sleeves throughout the Tenth District. He
was rewarded by being appointed one of tue
Enrolling Commissioners for that District,
which Office he held until 1t WAS abolished,
drawing his salary with great regularity. He
now bellows Justify for johnson, and hopes
to get another office for his pains. What
particular office lie wants 10 not know.
lie resides at Fort Wayne.
David kilyorc, Of Delaware, is q pompous
old gentleman, who has always bccnu strong
anti-slavery man. Hc resides in Alunc;c, and
represented Ills District (the Fifh) In Con-
gress from 1856 10 1860, beating the notorious
Lufc, Devclin u delegate to the same Con-
vcntion) by 8, ,4G2 votes, lie was warm per-
sonal friend Of the lamcntel Lincoln, and
