The State Johnson Convention met at Indian
apolis on Thursday, 10Th inst, and Gen. Merideth
was made permanent President. A committee on
resolutions was appointed, Mr. r. ii. Rose. of La
porte, being one OF it.
District Attorney Hanna submitted series OF
resolutions which proved perfect bombshell in
the camp. and which are as follows:
ResoIred, That for the past five years we have
justly regarded the traitors Of the South and the
Copperheads of the North as common enemies of
the Government; that each did all they could to
disrupt and destroy the Union of these States;
that rs coDfederates in crime, they wagcd war OF
death and desolation against the government of
our fathers. under circumstances Of cruelty and
perhdy scarcely paraleled in the most barbarous
ages; that while there is much we are disposed TO
forget and forgive, yet we cannot be false to ber
~, to the memory OF our martyred Lincoln, and
the patriot dead Of the nation, by basely abandon
ing that glorious and victorious Union party,
which ever rallied in defense Of the nations life,
and through whose insirumcntality, by force Of
arms, causelsss rebellion suppressed, the
supremacy OF the Constitution and laws indicated,
and peace restored to the country.
Resoiced, That this haowed Union party
was equal 10 the crisis of armed rebellion, and to-
day exists as the only party, first in war. first in
peace and first in the hearts of all true patriots
regard for the experience OF tho past. alike de-
mand that We cling TO it the sheet anchor of the
nations hope; and therefore we respectfully de-
cline to recognize the approaching Philadelphia
Convention as a true exponent Of the Union party
OF this country; that the character of many as the
delegates already appointed is a sufficient warning
to beware of political guerrillas who don the Fed
oral uniform Tor deception, surprise, and hery.
Resoiced. That we scorn to be made tools in the
hands OF traitors and Copperheads, for the disrup
ton and overthrow of the Union party; that we
have ever and do now oppose the heresy OF seces-
sion, either from the Union, or tho party which
saved 1t; neither will we be absorbed by party,
one half OF which was recently in arms against the
reseptatives at Chicago, proclamng encourage
ment to their confederltes, that the war to sup
press them and save the Union was a failure.

OF the Union, denies the power Of Stat to Sc

and void, and declares all the States to be in the

endorses his restoration policy. Fourth is oppos-

to drive the masses into armed oppo sirion to the
government. In this State there were mapy in.
ssancee ofviolence to officers appointed by the gov
ernment for enrolling and drafting the militia
Provost Marshals' Offices were broken open aud
books destroyed; men employed in the work Of
resting dcsertcrs. and numerous enrolling officers,
were waylad and murdered, and all of this lawless
spirit may justly be charged to the teachings OF
COpperhead newspapers and orators.
In New York, for three days and nights, a Cop
Psrhead mob paradcd the streets Of the city, rob-
bing and burning houses, beating, shooting and
Staying innocent and unoffending people. Who
will forget that dark hour, when our thoughts were
turned from the splendid victory gained by our
army at Gettysburg to the spectacle of disoyal
mob in possession OF the principal city in the Union
while the Copporhead Governor of the Empire
State only added fuel to the flames by his intcn-
tionally futile efforts to keep the peace7 That ex
hbiton of conservatism cost the country not only
humiliation and the lives of the brutality murdered
victims of the mub, but it also the cause OF the
disaster 10 our arms at Chickamagua. for by it a
large force was necessarily withdrawn from the
/
Army Of the Potomac, and Lee was enabled to
send Longstrect's veterans to ihe aid OF Bragg
Not only this, it animated the fantng spirits Of
rebellion, and it undoubtedly added much to the
severity Of tn. campaigns Of both Sherman and
Grant.
We have not space, il it were necessary. to de-
tail the atrocities which may be justly charged TO
the COpperhead party. We refer to them at this
time that all may see and understand the provoca-
tions under which loyal mon acted. II here and
there noisy sympathzer with treason was made
to suffer in his person the woes which he was so
anxious to inlict upon his Union neighbors, he
has only himself to blame. and, il less guilty than
others, he must remember that Tray, though a
very well behaved dog, wa sadly maltreated for
no other crime than that of being found in bad
company.

County COnVcntiOn--Candf-
dates.

The Union County Convention last Saturday
was largely attended, and the campaign in Mar
shall county was opened with good prospects for
the success OF the ticket nominated. The business
of the convention was conducted in an animated
yet good humored style, it seeming to be the de-
sign Of every to accord justice and fair play to
all All the townships were represented, and in
conversation with the delegates were glad to
learn that the Union men all over the county are
awake to the Importance of the issues to be deci
ded upon at the polls next October.
The county ticket presented BY the convention
to the voters Of Marshall county, is composed Of
as good men as can be found in this region, and
the candidates will undoubtedly command the vote
of every man who is ii favor of loyal men govern
ing the Republic which they have preserved.
N. II. Oglcsbec, candidate for Treasurer, is
known by almost every man in Marshall county
He is regarded by all of the best of citizens.
and is indeed gentleman in the truest sense OF
the word. He was elected first in 1858 and again
in lsGO to the Office for which he is now a candi-
date, and no one can truly sly that his preferment
made any difference in his manners. Kind and
obliging at all times, he good officer then,
we are assured he will be if again elected, Of which
there is little doubt.
| Dan. B. Armstrong, candidate for Sheriff, is a
young of good abilities, and is in every way
qualified for that office. He enlisted in Co.
u. 9th Ind. Vols, in July 1861. and served with
his command faithfully, participating in every bat
tie in which his regiment was engaged until it re-
turned home on veteran furlough. He received a
severe wound at Stone River which entirely disa
bled him from marching. but did not prevent him
participating in the subsequent battles Of Chcka
magua and Lookout Mountain. He is a candidate
of whom any party might be proud, and is a worthy
representative OF the brave and generous men who,
turning their backs upon the comforts and associa
tons of home, freely offered up their lives upon the
altar Of their country.
Anderson Yost, candidate for Auditor, is just the
man needed in that Office Honest and capable
he will hse no time in stopping the many leaks
which have appeared in the county treasury since
the absence OF our brave men at the front allowed
Copperhcads to usurp the offices. lie stands best
among his nearest reighbors, and that is compli-
ment enough for any man.
! John w. Thomas, candidate for Coroner, is one
Of the finest young men Of Bourbon. The Office of
Coroner is not usually one of much politica impor
taucc yet it is we'll to vote for true man for that
position Upon the death ofthe Sheriff, the Coro-
ner is cr-eEeio Sheriff until the Board of Commits
sioners makes appointment. and John will Gil Ell
Their Office with credit to himself and the party
which elects him.

FROM EUROPE.

The cess;on of Venetia to France and the of
fer of Napoleon of his services as mediator to the
combatants have had the effect OF turning the at
tention of the world from the conflict in the field
to the intrigues Of diplomacy Neither Prussia oil
while the Northern bear, Russia, feels that she may
have word to say before matters are disposed Of
No important battles have been fought since
our last report. and it is impossible to say wher
peace will follow present negotiations or whether
a war in which all continental Europe will be in
yolycd will be the result.

Attic Copptrhead Congressional convention,
in Laporte last Thursday, attempt was made by
Judge Bradley and Hon. T. ]. Merr6eld, Of Por-
ter. gain the consent Of the convention to post
pone the nomination till after the Philadelphia
convention. The proposition met with little IA
among the uninitated, but there no longer re-
mains doubt that the Copperhcads Of this Sec
ton will readily fuse with the new Johnson party.
Delegates we're appointed 70 the Philadelphia con-
vention; 4. L. Wheeler of this place was chosen
a contingent delegate. He will probably attend
and assist in transferring the Democracy Of the 9Th
district to the new coalition.

The old woman of the Democrat gave an
other dissertation last week upon the subject of the
exemption from taxation of United States bonds
All understand the reason why the old lady and
her Copperhead friends are so deadly hostile to
the bond-holders They helped save the country,
for which the old lady will never forgive them
In the course Of her diatribe she says:
I've in favor Of equal taxation and if we get
it, rather than be the hcwers Of wood and drawers

II any one. wishes to know who are "eatng ont
our substance and preying upon the ritals of the
country" let them examine the exhorbitant and
unjust charges file in the County Auditors and
Corporation Clerks Office which the proprietors of
the Democrat make FOR their worthless services in
the way Of advertising. We venture to say no
bond-holder has exhibited more willingness to
EAT OUT THE SUBSTANCE of the people
than have these conductors of the Democrat
They charge the County and Corporation more for
publishing an adv ertisement twice or three time.

And yet, Notwithstanding such exhorbitant charges

"IIewers of wood and drawers of water" in

tors of the Democrat being reduced to that condi
ton, so long as they poke their hands into the
County and Corporation treasures in the way they
have been doing for the last year. There is more
probability OF their building brick blocks and paa-

Where Do the Frogs Come From !

During the storm on Sunday night,
two breaks occurred in the Ohio canal
one mile from Dover Dry Hollow, A
small ravine in the plains near Dover,
was flooded to the depth of several feet
Fences were swept away by the current
across two or three farms On Monday
morning several persons thought that
from the noises in the hollow, there must
be large flock of sheep in the water,
among the rails and other debris, and
unable to reach dry land Others whose
hearing was equally acute, declared that
the noises resembled the brawlng of
hundreds of calves, more than the
beating of sheep, Owners of stock
figured up, in Imagination. heavy losses,
and proceeded with anxious countenan-
ces to rescue as many of the animals as
had survived the storm during the night
But on reaching the spot whence
the pteous noises proceeded, no sheep
nor calves were to be seen Instead,
however, there were thousands Of
large bullfrogs perched upon rails and
logs, and each one exerting himself to
the utmost to make louder croak than
his neighbor. Now, the question is,
were these frogs rained down from the
clouds with the sheets of water that fell
during the night, or did the5 travel from
the river, distance Of nearly mile,
during the rain There are no ponds in
Dry Hollow" and the frogs certainly
came from some locality = Tuscya,cas
