The Convention,

On our local page will be found the
proceedings of the Union County
Convention. The attendance was not
large-was not expected to be-the
farmers being busy with their mar
vest, and the Union men OF the city
not manifesting all the interest In the
matter that they ought to have done.
The legislative nominations were
postponed until the 18th inst. The
postponement was made because there
seemed to be scarcity of candidates,
and it was regarded as especially de-
sirable to consult with the Union men
of Posey County before selecting the
candidates for Senator and Joint Rep
resentative. ~
The nominations made for the
Offices of Treasurer, County Commits
sioner and Coroner, we are confident
our people will regard as good ones.
Col. JOHN RHEINLANDER has filed
the position of Treasurer for one
term to the satisfaction of all who
have transacted business with him,
and is deserving of reelection. PHIL
Up DECKEE the nominee for County
Commissioner, is one of the oldest
of our German citizens, and is re-
spected by all who know him. He is
qualified to discharge the duties Of
the position, and will no doubt be
elected by handsome majority. SAM
UEL HAvELIN, the candidate for Cor
oner, has been a sterling Union man
from the start, and has always labored
faithfully to build up the Union cause
in a somewhat benighted locality in
our city, He will make an efficient
Coroner. Union men will now go to
work, we are confident, to secure the
success of the ticket just nominated.

A Wet Blanket.

The New York World treats the
call for the DooLITTLE-C owAN Ma
tional Convention with rather pro-
voking GOODNESS, considering that the
Democrats have been so strongly en-
couraging such movement 1t says:
If President johnson or his friends had
any idea of organizing new party, they
should have commenced at least eight
months earlier. Eight or ten months ago
the President stood well in the estimation
of the Republican party, majority of
whom, at that time, deprecated separa-
ton from him. Then, none of their papers
had openly attacked him, few had ceased
to speak of him with respect. But every
day that has elapsed since the meeting of
Congress has weakened his hold upon the
affections of the party, which has now set
tied into hopeless arrangement and alien
alton.
The World has learned by this time
that President JOHNSON and few
disconnected Republicans have bagged
the whole Copperhead party. The pro-
nunciamento lately issued by the Dem
ocratic members of Congress, indicates
most conclusively that they design an
abandonment of their old party-not
even excepting its time-honored name
land going into Mr.. RANDALL's So
called National Union Convention.
To do this, the party leaders have to
eat most of the words, to which they
gave utterance during the war, and
abandon the principles for which
they have been contending.
Only think of Mr. THOMAS A.
HENDRICKS, the great apostle of
the Northwestern Confederacy scheme
indorsing call declaring that " there
is no right any where to dissolve the
Union. or to separate the States from
the Union" affirming that /" the
Union of the States is, in every case,
indissoluble and perpetual" and that
the Constitution of the United
States and the laws passed by Con
gress in pursuance thereof, are SUI
preme and constant and universal in
their obligation" This deprives good
Democrats of the old privilege of OBJ
posing what they don't like, on the
ground that it is unconstitutional
Even the Civil Rights Bill must be
sustained as a " law of Congress- and
no latitude given for denunciation be-
cause of its unconstitutionality
The Democratic leaders are evil
IDENTIFY becoming convinced that they
have by their conduct during the war
made the name of their party odious
to the loyal people, and therefore they
design abandoning it, like rats do
sinking ship or burning barn. Wheth-
er they will be successful in DISCUS
ing themselves in the new garb which
President JOHNSON and Messrs. RAN
DALI, DooLITTLE and others have
prepared for them, remains to be seen.
Our own opinion is that the expert
ment will prove failure. The dele
gates to the Convention can hardly
look each other in the face without
laughing, so ridiculous will be their
position as delegates under the call

THE Cor'ir of this city is ter
ribly lacerated in it's feelings by the
discovery that the Toledo Blade has
called Gen. THOMAS H. BENTON, of
Iowa, ''sore- headed Republican p
and sheds crocodile tears as big as
blackberries over such vituperatiye
language against soldier. 1t was
very naughty in the Blade to say so.
The Blade should take pattern by the
Courier, and, as it did in its famous
editorial letters signed Unhung Reb-
ell, ;" call the soldiers 9 sewing machine
and wardrobe thieves z shoulder
strap thieves" &C., and should
then, like the Courier, write a pane
gyric on STONEwALL JACKSON, and
eulogize other traitors, living and dead.
That is the manner in which the
Courier expresses its love for the sol
der. To call a soldier sore-head-
ed Republican " is too bad.

General August WiIIich.

We learn from Cincinnati that the
friends ofgthis distinguished soldier
have determined to present his name
to the Union Convention Of Hamilton
County, Ohio, as a candidate for
County Auditor. We do not know
who are likely to be the opposing can
didates, but we do know that the city
of Cincinnati and the County of Ham
ilton have none more worthy to fill
the Office than General WILLICH. AS
statesman, scholar, and soldier, he
stands in the front rank of our public
men, and Cincinnati will do itself al
honor to elect him to such an office
of trust and profit. The General is
disabled from active labor by a severe
wound, received in the late war, in
which he did such efficient service,
and, devoting himself in the army to
his legitimate duties, he came out
poorer man than when he entered it;
and it will therefore be a fitting re
cognition of gallantry, and proper
reward, to a faithful old soldier, to
give him the Office, without the neces-
sity of scramble with all the office
seekers in the county.
Fifty thousand soldiers of Indiana,
who followed him to battle and to
glorious victory, second the nomina-
ton of his friends, and call upon the
veterans of Hamilton County to see to
it, that their old commander, who
never deserted them in the field, re-
ceives the reward due for his toll and
the blood he has shed for his country.

EASILY Conference.-The Democ-
racy in this region are still congratu-
lating themselves with the delusion
that Postmaster MCNEELY has been
removed from Office and JOHNSON
man appointed in his place. No
such action has transpired. The tel
Geographic correspondent of the New
Albany Ledger and Cincinnati En-
quirer was induced by certain vera
cious gentlemen of the Copperhead
persuasion to concoct the delusion,
and they are now hugging it to their
bosoms as a reality. The Democracy
are only happy when they imagine a
Union man has suffered.
