INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. IL:
II ono may judge Of the temper and spirit
of the whole by the disposition Of It's compo-
nent pats, shall be justified in saying that
TIE FORTHCOMING STATE CONVENTION
Of the Union party Will adopt radical plat
form. There can be no mistake about It.
The masses of the people arc daily becoming
more radical, and more opposed to NIL half
hearted measures. L hear this opposition
manifested every day, on every hand, 10 ali
sorts Of ways- 1--WE sha'n't make anything
BY lodging principle" ~ had rather see tho
Union party defeated on honest issues, than
secit win on false ones, J" and Kindred phrases,
are In the mouths of Ill men. On Saturday,
the 10ti, Inst, conventions were held In all
gates TO the State Convention, which meets
On the I'D. There, Is a striking
sameness In the platforms ndopted at those
conventions, and the samencss means much.
Some conventions have gone farther than
others, but venture to say that tue most
conservative resolutions adopted In any coun-
disguise the real radicnli.n Of the constituent
masses. will instance few such results,
taken at random, representing various por-
tions Of the State In proof Of my assertions.
THE COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

cally and unequivocally. Her convention

suffrage bill, tho Freedmenfs Bureau bill, and
Senator Trumbull's civil rights bill in No. 4,

Jef. Davis, and hints At hanging the traitor.
No. 10 pays deserved tribute to the great
and good Lincoln. No. II Ia cheap sustltute

Esq, presided, failed to lndorse President
JOHNSON at all, except as he made treason
odious md punished traitors." Hasty rocon-
dominal regions. Jefferson county followed
suit by giving bogus Southern UnionIsm an
other kick, and said nothing about President
johnson at all. Dearborn connty wants Davis
hung speedily, il In favor Of the Frecdmen's
Bureau, and seems willing to believe that
there will not be much Of split between
Andy and Congress. Randolph county fails

Owen offer q half way Endorsement of tho
President, With several back townships
to hear from. T1ppecunoe county goes ter
rib1y radical, and backWoods Warren goes
further yet There's mighty little comfort
for soreheads or CorperheAds In auy Of tho
resolutions. Tie northern portion Of the
