Resolved, That our delegates to the Phila-
delphia National Union Convention are
expected to cooperate, Only with. loyal
Union men. 9Sfs57s. 7agIitoT .qaif.0f
Thus reads one of the resolutions
adopted by the johnson Convention
at Indianapolis on the 10Th Of July.
Under such instructions the delegates
go to the Philadelphia Convention.
The proceedings published this morn
ing and yesterday show with whom
they are cooperating. Twelve months
ago did GooDING, and ROSE and Kill
GORE consider the men who in Indi-
ana had denounced ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN as tyrant and uSurper, who OPP
posed the war in every shape and by
every means in their power, who sym
pathized with the rebels = these,
did they consider loyal Union men?
Were PERKINS, HENDRICKS, Dow
LING, SHERRoD, BERRY, HANNA,
FRANKLIN, loyal Union men in the
true acceptance of the term?
But those are not the most objec-
tional associates of these immaculate
patriots. In looking over. theIhst of
delegates, in addition to the names
mentioned yesterday, we find, Will
Hanson, of New Jersey, who had
been charged with openly applauding.
the assassination c6nspirators. All.
the Democratic delegates from Penn
sylvania were opposed to the war, the
draft, the soldiers voting, and all the
leyaiissues of the late seontestLthe
bitterest Kind of Copperheads. At
least half of the Democratic delegates
from Maryland and Missouri, and
some of those from Kentucky have
been imprisoned or arrested by the
Government for disloyalty. The
whole Southern delegation, with very
rare exceptions, have been in the
rebel army or legislatures; all Of them
insist on the repeal of the test oath,
and not one in fifty ofthem could take
it. Among other rabid ones not mem
toned yesterday, we find the name of
Col. LANGDoN, who publicly advo
Gated raising the black flag as the
only means Of securing the independ-
ence of the South. JOHN Z. RIDGE,
an editor of a paper in Arkan
sas, is delegate; he has hoist
ed the name of Gen. LEE as the
next candidate for President
VALLANDIGHAM has been made the
scape- goat to bear away the disIoyalty
of the hundreds Of traitors, North
and South, in the Convention. And
out of all these elements the Presi-
dent is going to organize a great Ma
tional party which is to save the
country and restore the millennium of
peace and fraternity. And Sol. MERRI-
DETF and DAVE. GooDING are expect
to transfer the great Union party
of Indiana to this lovely fellowship.

what General Price says abou the lands
which have been set apart by Macmillan

Vera Cruz, and on the railroad leading
thence to the City Of Mexico. This road

COLONEL ST. LEGER GRENFELL.-The
Florida House of Representatives has adop-
ted a report and resolutions upon the case
of Col. George st. Leger Grenfell, lieu
tenant in the British army, who volunteered
for the Confederate cause and subsequently
was placed on the staffs of General Bragg
and Lee. Owing to misunderstanding
with the Confederate War Department he
resigned, and subsequently, while hunting
on the prairies of Illinois, was arrested and
tried by military commission, for con-
spring to release Confederate prisoners at
Camp Douglas, and to burn Chicago. He
was sentenced to death, but the sentence
was committed to Imprisonment for life at
the dry Tortugas in Florida, where he now
is. The committee say that the charges are
utterly groundless, and the colonel is victim
to perjury. They say that there are about
