Col. Trusler was then loudly called
for, but not having arrived, Mr.. Thos.
B. McCarty, Auditor of State, am.
swered call and came forward,
not for the purpose of making
speech, he said, but that the people
might see the Union candidate for.
Auditor of State. He made a few
brief remarks, after which Capt. J. F.
ST Clair, of BoonYille, was called for,
and responded in a short speech,
which was full Of life, vigor and stout
denunciation of rebels and traitor
sympathizers. Throughout he was.

Col. Trusler having arrived, he was
introduced to the audience amidst
prolonged applause. He made an elo-
quent speech of about an hour, in
the course of which he took occasion
to give detailed history of the. Cop
perhead party, true to life. showing
clearly that its leaders are men who
were opposed to the war, and de-
nounced the soldiers. The Colonel
said there were but two parties now,
The great leader of the Democratic
party, who had been recently pardon
ed out of the Ohio Penitentiary, said
$50, and it must be true. He spoke
with great force and energy, and rea-
sened well. a8 .eI
We regret that in consequence Of

from arriving at the appointed hour.
his time was SO short. We are salts
fed that he made good impression,
and pleased every truly loyal man
who heard him speak. We will not
do him the injustice to attempt a
summary of his speech. IT was truly
refreshing to hear the great Union
cause so nobly defended, and the
Copperhead party shown up in its
true colors. At the close of his
speech the applause was long and
loud. 'aas.a sa a'ata 3
On motion Of Col. Allen, recess.
was taken until2 o'clock P. NJ, then
the President again called the Con-
vention to order, and announced that
the Committee on Resolutions was
ready to report. Accordingly, Col.
V. Bisch, on behalf of theGommittee,
submitted the following Resolutions,
which, on motion, were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the men who saved
the Government from the efforts of
traitors to destroy it, are the men who
ought to control its administration,
at least, until the issues growing out
of the late rebellion are settled.
Resolued, That wecordially approve
of the Amendment to the Constitu-
ton, recently proposed by Congress to
the States for ratification. har
Resolved, That we adopt the plat
form of principles of the Union State
Convention, held at indianapolis on
the I'D day of February last
Resolred, That some of the con
scious leading traitors in the late
atrocious rebellion ought to be tried
by due course of law, and if found
guilty, the sentence of the law should
be executed, and that Hon. VIM. E.
Niblack in voting in Congress against
a resolution expressive of the opinion
that Jefferson Davis should be tried
for treason, did not reflect the wishes
of his constituents.
| a Resolued, That under the Constitu-
ton of the United States, the right to.
regulate the suffrage belongs alone to
the States, and not to Congress. We,
as citizens of Indiana, representing
the Union party of the First Congress
sional District are opposed to negro
suffrage, and that the attempt Of Hon.
Joseph E. Mcdonald, and Hon. John
r. Cofroth, and others, to show that
the first section of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution does
confer the right of suffrage on negroes,
is an insult to the intelligence of the
people. 5t1.. s
| Resolved, That, enjoying and appre-
ciating free government, we cordially
sympathize with the people of every
nation in their efforts to destroy des-
potism and establish free institutions.
