T j The Frankfort Convention. j On the ls-th inst. ji large number of the citizen , of Kentucky assembled in a representative con- J Tention at Frankfort, to express their sentiments j upon the political questions a-id public issues be- ; fore the country, and to nominate candidate- for State offices, to be voted for nt the next election in that Commonwealth. Upon their assembling, and bejore they had given any expression of senti ment, the convention wis dispersed by the order j of the military commander of that district, one Colonel Gilbert, with a larce military force to sustain him, who stated that in so doing ha acted under the orders of superior officers. The facts in the case are stated in a communication from an intelligent and responsible citizen of Ken tucky, and in an editorial of the LouUviile Demo- ! erat, both of which will be found in to day's Sentinel. i It is not pretended that the members of the proposed Convention were armed, or that they had other than peaceable intentions. They were known to be men of character, of ability, of property and as having a deep interest in the preservation of order and the supremacy of law. In advance of any expression of pcntiment, or ot even a knowledge of the character of the men who might thus assemble, their motives and pur poses were pre judged by somebody clothed with brief authority as treasonable and their rights trampled upon by those whose first duty it was to protect them. If the delegates to the proposed convention had met for treasonable purposes, the same power that dispersed the assembly could have prosecuted them for the crime. The Governor of the State Wa? at hand, the Legislature and State and Fed eral Courts were in session, and a large Federal military force ready to enforce their decrees. There was then no necessity for thU arbitrary proceediuT. There is no apology for it. While expressing no sympathy whatever with the men who had thus assembled, or the objects they had in view, wa cannot but regard the proceeding as a blow at the rights of the citizen which should not pass unnoticed by freemen. If constitutional rights are thus to be overridden with impunity, such acts will prove as destructive of liberty, of order, and the government which we profess to be struggling to maintain, as the Rebellion itself. He has affected to render the military inde pendent of, and superior to, the civil power," is one of the reasons set forth in the Declaration of Independence which justified a separation from the British Government. Is it any less potent or upplicabe now than then? "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the pi ess; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances." What Congress is re strained from doing by the Constitution, is cer tainly forbidden to the servants of the Govern ment, whether militarj or civil. When by a simple fiat of one or the other of the latter the right of the people to peaceably assemble can be prevented, popular liberty exists only in name it has no reality. What was done in Frankfort, if justified, miy be repeated elsewhere by iuiilar authority. The greatest danger to a free Government is the tendency of power to steal or pass from the many to the few. Through this dan gerous ordeal our free institutions are now passing. It is therefore the highe-t duty of every good citizen wbo desires to preserve the blessings of a free government to see to it that the personal rights guaranteed by the Constitu tion are maintained inviolate. The only test of loyalty is fidelity to the Constitution. Faith lessness to the Constitution, like that exhibited at Frankfort, must be condemned if we ever hope to preserve constitutional liberty. It is far better to tolerate error of opinion, if reason is left free to combat - it, than lay violent hands upon the Constitution in the attempt to eradicate it. The Itenublican Convention To-day. We cannot comprehend the objects of the Republican Convention which is to be held to-day, unless it be the vain attempt to bolster the fortunes of a sinking party and to resurrect defunct politicians. These purposes are bevond the possibility of accomplishment. Republican ism and Abolitionism, one and the same, have been weighed in the balance of popular judg ment and found wanting. , Less than two years' experience has demonstrated, almost to the ruin of the nation, the utter incapacity of the Repub lican party to successfully administer the Gov ernment. A public debt rapidly approximating two thousand millions of dollars and an exhaust ing civil war still raging, briefly but truthfully Illustrate the results of Republican principles and Abolition policy. Since Mirch 4;h. 161, in the Federal Govern ment, and in the Slate Governments adhering to the old Union, excepting for a few weeks and in a few States, the Republican party bus had undis puted sway. All the men and all the money that the party in power has asked for to suppress the rebellion has been placed under its control. Since the formation of the Union no Administration has bad a more generous and general support, and no other baa so signally failed in administrative capacity. It has neither hnd the ability to com prehend the dldieulties of the u ition, or the ca pacity and patriotism to remedy tliein. Profess ing toleration, no party has been mote intolerant. Denouncing the Rebel Government as arbitrary and despotic, the Administration has adopted m-tny leading measures of governmental policy which the former his initiated, even after the had been ridiculed and condemned bv the leader of the party in power. We need j but mention four measures Confederate scrip. 9 1 50 i confiscation, conscription and arbitrary arrests---30 Oo I to '-ustrate how closely this Imast-ng Republican Irceitom loving party litis lonoweu trie neoei je.1(j An, vel R p,rtv witlt such record has the .. . . . , presumption tu as tue coiumueu cuniiueucu oi the people. What evidence does the party in power present that it his been guided by patriotic considerations and the controlling, desire to unite the people of the loyal Sbites in th.e common object of restor ing the Unioi and preserving the Oovemment? From the beginning it ha charged the Democrats, who adhered to their party organization, as "traitors" as sympathizers with treason." The result of the elections last fall was announced by the Republican leid ers and party as "Butternut triumphs" as "Rebel successes." And the meetings of the Democracy have been heralded by their political opponents as ' traitors in council. " Lately, prominent Republican officials have asserted with great positiveness that there are extensive secret political organizations throughout the Northwest, h tving for their object the establishment of a Northwestern Confederacy, or sliding the North western States out of the Union into the Southern Confederacy. What other impression can these statements make th in that the North is divided. . i .i i : r . . i . i .: c people preier ine aouuiern to me Formern gov- r t t i- eminent? And in making such charges persist- ,il,. . not tho iteniiMiearn rnviiir. ":.i.l ..l - - o - comfort" to the rebellion? In pursuing this policy, it appears to us that the Republican lead- er4 .tre w(iier ,jctirieitt in good sense, or else they are determined to divide the Union. Ar I we uj.e tl,e convention, to day, will be heralded to the North and the South, ami to the rest of the world, as an immense gathering of ' loyal " citizens, denouncing by resolutions and speeclies the Democracy of the North, (and the recent e'ection.s show that thev are at least 0e half of the oopulation.) as Butternu's," as "traitors." as secession sympathizers," as "dis unionists," as "K. G. C.V," Si'.-., kc. We pre sume Governor Wright, and Dave Biianiiam, and Governor Morton will declare with all possi ble grtvity to the assembled multitude today, that they have the evidence in their breeches pockets that they have the obligations, signs, and grips of a tremendous secret organization, which has its plans :ill arranged to float Indiana down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers an 1 hitch her to the Southern Confederacy somo niht ere long, when the people are all aslep. In all seri ousness, arc our Republican friends credulous enough to be gulled by iuch Munchausen stories? Will they longer permit their leaders to give "aid and comfort" to the rebellion and thus prolong the war, by publishing to the world that one halt of the people of the North are disloyal? We hope they will not thus allow all hope of restoring the Union and preserving the Government uuder which we have prospered for eighty years to be destroyed. When the blind follow the blind, fol lowers and leaders w ill fall into the ditch together. Kentucky Liberty at the Feet of the .tlilitttry. Henet Colxtt, Kt.. Feb. 20, 163. On the 17th of November, ltud,a motion was made in the House of Representatives of the Kentucky Legislature to irrant the u-e of their Hall to the citizens ot Keii'ucky, who should come to Frankfort on the 1Mb inst. to hold a Democratic Convention. The motion failed by a small majority. The vote was as follows: Those who voted for the resolution were Messrs. Speaker, (Buckuer), R. C Anderson, Blue, Boone, Rotts, Howling, lirann, Kurriam, Dush, Calvert, Chambers, Chandler, J. li. Coch ran, Robert Cochran, Conklin, G irriott, Ilamp ton, Harney, Heady, Humphries, Johnson, Mar tin, Miller, Murphy, Proctor, Ricketts, Roberts, Rousseau. Styers, Snaldinsr, 'I aylor, Thomas, Underwood, Vanpelt, Van Winkle and Ward 3G. Those who voted against the resolution were Messrs. Allen, J. W. Anderson, Bucheller, Bailey, Barnes, Beazly, Bell, Brinkley, R. J. Browne, Thos. S. Brown, Cyrus Campbell, J. W. Campbell, Clay. Curtis, gowning, Finnell, Gabbert, Gibson. Hawthorne, Heeter, Henry, Ireland, Johns. Kennedy, Liyton, Liscnbv, Mc Fatland, Mercer, Morrow, I'oindexter, Powell, Rankin. Rapier, Rigney. Smiih, Starks, Tevis, Warring, White and Wolle 4. A committee then procured (he Metropolitan Hall, renting the same ot the proprietors for a stipulated S'lni: Threats and denunciations against the proposed meeting appeared in the so-called Union papers, and invitations were given and solicitations made to the military to interpose mid prevent the meet ing for some time before the day appointed. Just before the hour for the Convention to ns-mble, a company of armed soldiers were marched into town and guards placed at the door of the hall, at the bridge across the Kentucky river and other places; and when the delegates met in the hall, or those of them who did meet (several hundred not poing there at all). Col. Gilbert command ing this post, announced that tie had issued an order, which he read, the purport of wbich was ttiat he had information w hich led him to believe there were spies and disloyal persons in the town, and that he should take into custody all persons not citizens of the town who could not be prop erly vouched for. And be thereupon required the roll of the counties to be called, and vouchers to be made, all of which was done without any arrest. At the conclusion of this proceeding he stated in substance: As this assemblage had been de dared by the loyal Democratic papers of the Sute not to be Democratic, but to be composed of persons inimical to the Government, and as the Democratic Legislature of Kentucky had re fused the delegates the use of their Hall, he would not allow the Convention to be held, and be required that the meeting disperse, which waa thereupon doiie. The Governor of the Commonwealth was in his office, not over two hundred and fifty yards from the scene. The Legislature and one of the courts ('he Franklin Circuit Court) were both in session, not further away than the Governor, and all were advised of what was being done, and did not in any way interpose, as far as we have heard. By our State laws, when there is any unlawful assemblage of the peopie, any riots, routs, kc, too strong in numbers to be controlled by the civil authority, the aid of the military mav be called in; but they are to act under the direction of the civil authority. In this instance the civil authorities, as fir as we can find out, had not been requested t i prevent the assembling of the Convention. No ch irges or accusations had been made in any responsible form, which re quired the civil authorities to interpose The Sher.ß of the county, wbo was in the town all the time, had issued no proclamation against the meeting. The Grand Jury, which was in session, had examined no witnesses, nor made any presentment of any apprehended dan ger, though they all knew of the contemplated meeting of the delegates, and some of them be fore they were adjourned were eeen looking at what was passing at the hall door and speaking approvingly of it. The Governor, whose sworn duty it is to see the law faithfully executed, who was well adt isel that the Convention was to be held, bad issued no warning against It; had not, as far as we know, expressed even a wish that it should not beheld, much less forbidding it its avowed pur poses being peaceful and lawful. The delegates were citizens of Kentucky- most oft hem old men with grey heads men har ing the rese.t and confidence of their fellow citizens of all parties for their honesty, "probity and love of countrymen without any arms in their hands or means ot selt-protection, making known and proclaiming their peaceful purposes, and offering the military n copy of the resolutions they intended to propose to the Convention, em bodying sentiments no honest man will deny to any li e right to express. Under these circum -stances and with these surroundings the military, at the instigation of some lawless persons, by force expelled these delegates from the hall they had hired, and refused them the expression of their sentiments, and going even further, telling them that if they made any nominations, it would be the signal to arrest such persons. If nomi nated thev would not he crniitted to run; or if elected they would not be permitted to serve At night guards were placed upon the streets to prevent any assemblage of people at any point, and one dwelling was visited by officers and sol diers, and one of the rooms of the bouse entered, and demands made of the gentlemen there as to their business and purposes. Fiiniing nothing contraband, the officers retired. On the next day one of the oldest members of the legal profession of Frankfort made a short statement to the Circuit Court as to what had transpired, and moved the court to order a special Grand Jury, (the regular one having'been :d joumed late the evening of the 18ih.) and that they be charged specially to inquire as to the ob jects, purposes, designs and acts of the citizens who came together to hold a convention to nomi nate State officers, and if any or all of them were foumj to have violated any laws of the land, or to have intended such violation, to have indictments or presentments found or made; and if, on the other hand, it was found their purposes were legal, then to indict or present those who had caused the military to interfere with such peace ful assemblage. This motion was opposed by the Common wealth's Attorney, on the ground that he had great doubts whether any of .lie offenses with which the assemblage could be charged were not more properly the suiyect of investigation before a Grand Jury of the United States: that although the laws of Kentucky denounced any attempt on Hie part of any one to take Kentucky out of the Union, (this was charged to be the object of the convention,) us a crime, and provided a severe punishment therefor; stiii be thought as Congiess had legislated about such acts as the delegates who met here were charged with purnoMiig, he doubted the constitutionality of the act of the Legislature; ih at he hail tol I the Grand Jury w ho had been adjourned the evening beton:, not to make ary investigations about political matters, unless they cho.-e to do so a most palpable vio lation of his duty. The Jii lue re; used to order the jury, stating that when ho returned to his home alter having been compelled to leave by the coming in of the Confederates, some of his party wanted him to order a special lei m to indict and puui.-li men who had been acting with the Confederates. But he h id refused to do so; that he knew personally there were men here from his county to attend the convention whom he had heard express a w ish that Kentucky would go with the South, and he thought it was well to not order any investigation, but to let such gentlemeu take the consequences following their conduct. If the tegular Grand Jury hail chosen to have examined int this matter he would not have prevented it. The Court and Commonwealth's Attorney w ere teiuinded that the avowed ol ject of the con vention was to nominate candidates for State offi ces a subject over which Congress had no power to legislate. But they persistently refused any investigation they were both elected last year by the military. Such is a plain, unvarnished statement of facts. One or two rellections may not be a miss, as the conduct of the civil and military authorities con cerns most deeply the cause of constitutional lib erty everywhere. We undertake to assert there can n where be found, except in the history of usurpations and despotisms, an act more autragenm than w as per petrated on the delegates to the Democratic con vention at Frankfort on the lSih day of February, ltG3. If, as the Military Commandant stated, he acted upon the representations of what he culled loyal Democratic newspapers, it makes a new era in the history of our country brings into operation a new power never betoie known in the history of civilized society certainly no w here provided for in our system of government. The slang of newspaper scribblers is to confer the right and give the power to the Commander of a military department to determine the loyalty of any mm or sot of men and to prevent their assembling together? What Democratic newspapers does the country suppose were re! erred to? The Louisville Jour nal and Frankfort Commonwealth. Oh, Democ racy, to what a low es'ate you have come when you have got in charge of two such newspapers. You have come into sad keeping, indeed. But 'here again was the repudiation by the Democratic House of Representatives. That act of refusing the use of their hall to tiie convention was an other evidence that the delegates were not true Democrats, but rebels in disguise. Very compli mentary to Mr. Speaker Buckner and twenty other acknowledged Union men who voted for their having the hall. The rule reversed proves the Representatives of the Kentucky Legislature Abolitionists when they recently Jet their hall to Cassious M. Clay, and God only knows what when they allowed Parson Browulow to hold forth in it. The same rule makes the Kentucky Legisla ture and Governor Abolitionists, because they tolerate the interference of Abolitionists with the rights of citizens and submit to their interference wiih nmi disregard of State laws. We have in these proceedings an evidence of what may be expected Irom the present Admin istration and those who sustain them. Kentucky, proud old Kentucky, is in the dust and her honor and her rights are under the con trol of a parcel of Abolition soldiers, and she, like the rest of the States, must ruise alolt the banner of the old Democratic party, or we are pone past all redemption, without any hope of restoring the Union or preserving the Constitu tion. Ken'iicky.lnyalKentucky.having within her bor ders soldiers from other States, lour thousand here at the c ipii.il an overwhelming voting popula tion in favor of the continuance of the war, as these pure patriots claim, afraid of the assembling of five or six hundred plain men without arms, and afraid to allow a fair vote lor the different offices. The st;te of the case shows that the so called Union, but really Abolition party of Ken tucky, expect to retain their power, not by the ballot box, but by brute force. A Delegate. Xotb Harney, who edit the Commonwealth, and Prentice and Wolfe, the latter voting afraini-t the use of tlie leitisUtive haU, figned the celebrated address at the beiriiming of Ihe strife, which declared with auch a Hour Ish, "that if the United Stales Government undertook to coerce the seceded Stater, Kentucky vould have no al ternative but to draw her Word in favor of the South." Reil, who votd against the Use of the hall, and Governor kobiiison, are two of the border States delegate who met at Kmlikfi rt arid published an address which reads eo beautifully about Kentucky being an avylum for the op-presi-ed, where there waa freedom of Sprech and of the press, and where people were free to exprew their senti ments. What a mockery. From the Louisville Democrat. Tlie Suppression of the Frankfort Convention. We cannot but regret the suppression of the attempted convention at Frankfort. Our readers kuow that we have no sympathy with their sup posed principles, having promptly warned the public of their prooable intentions; but this act of military authority is a flagrant violation of the right of the citizens to peaceably assemble. Col. Gilbert seems to have proceeded upon the as sumption that there were rebel spies in the con vention, and to have jus Hied his procedure upon that ground. If the charge was true, it was the duty of CjI. Gilbert to arrest and try the bus pected parties. His course in breaking up the convention can have no justification. The Legislature was in session. II this assem bly was dangerous to the people of the State or the Union, a resolution could have been promptly passed requiring them to disperse. The Governor was at hand. If necessary, his authority could have been exercised. The magistrates, all of known loyalty, were within immediate call. If this was a treasonable and disorderly assembly it was in their power and it was their duty to order that body to disperse. There was no emergency calling for the extraordinary authority of the military, and Col. Gilbert has just gone far enough to show a consciousness that it was a usurpation, and not far enough to prove that it was necessitated by public danger. , Colonel Gilbert relers to the repudiation of the principles of that party by the Democratic pce-s of the State, and the refusal of the Legiii tuic i allow them the use of the House, as a condemna tion. It is true the press and Legislature believe their principles to be dangerous, but they never proposed to violate a law themselves. It tr tainly must have astonished both of these to learn that their opinions were used to justify the viola tion of one of the most essential rights of civil liberty. It was the it tention of the press tr resist the course of this party by the open and legitimate exercise of argument and persuasion. They did not ask, and did not wish, the dangerous inter position of this authority. Colonel Gilbert, by his course, has changed the issue entirety, and placed these men in the attitude of sufferers for the attempted exercise of an undoubted right a right in the Support of which every free citizen is interested. The question is no longer whether a party that demands the immediate recognition ot the independence of the Southern Confederacy shall prevail in the State, but whether such and every military officer in the State had a right to brake up public assemblies? The question is, whether these men are entitled to the projection of the declaration of rights in the State Constitu tion ? The question is whether we have any State Government at all whether the civil law is superior to the military whether our lives and fortunes are hell at the will of minor military authorities or not? If this policy is to prevail, we are no longer a free people under the protection of the laws, but a military desjiotism. We have not one, but many masters. Every district is governed by a petty tyrant, who is at once the Judge and exe cutioner of his own edicts. Colonel Gilbert's motives may have been good, but we Jiave noth ing to do with bis motives. He had no more au thority to do this act than he w ould have to march into the State Capitol and disperse the Legisla ture at the point of the bayonet, and his course is a tyrannical and indefensible violation of a right that lies at the very foundation of republican fieedom. If this is the manner in which we are to be gov erned, our elections are a mere farce. If a mili tary c'licer is to be judge of the intentions of every public meeting, with the power to disperse, the only choice tlie people can have is that of accepting whatever he may decree. It is folly to discuss whether we shall accept the emancipation scheme of Lincoln or not. We had as well w rite and talk about the civil government of the inhab itants of the moon. We are subjugated und crushed; our Legislature is an empty, vaporing debating society ; our courts are mete mustang courts, without the fun that enlivens them. It is a worse condition than to be under an unlimited monarchy. The rukr of a kint'dom will find his interest in that of his people. Such authority as Colonel (liibert has exercised has no such restraint. The prosperity of the people of this Slate is noth ing to him. His obedience to the will of his su perior is his only interest. The military officers aie in the position of the Persian S.itr.ipor Roman Pia-fect. They may tjr nuize, oppress, and en rich themselves at the ex; ense of the provinces, as their prede cssors did, with the exception that theie is no tribunal, as at Rome, to make them disgorge. It is a policy fatal to f reedom, fatal 10 the Union. We are for no terms with Rebels, but we ara opposed to following their example in evil Armed Rebels must be resisted with arms; but we must not throw away the sacred rights which our fathers so hardly won. If this Convention had been allowed to proceed, we expected to op pose their candidates and resist their policy. We never had any doubt that they would be repudi ated by the people. Tiio contest was already de cided beforehand, and thU act had not even ne cessity to justify it. We hope this is the last time we shall ever have to record an act of military usurpation, in this State. We hope that this policy, subversive of the interests of the State and the Union, will receive prompt condemnation at the hands of tlie people and the authorities. We hope that Col. Gilbert and other officers will confine 'hemselvcs strictly to the exercise of their duties, and net incur the imputation that they tire more danger ous to the rights and liberties of their own people than to the armed enemy. Mistaken zeal, mis taken loyalty, may be ns dangerous as rebellion itself; and people who submit to a uniform de struction of the laws, which lie at the foundation of civil liberty, arc ruined, and the evil falls with equal force upon the degraded civilian and the demoralized soldier. ICcpublican .na Convention. The crowd yesterday at the mass convention was large, but we have no means of estimating itsnuniber. It wül comp ire, however, favora li v with other large iiseiiiblai.e tiiat have been hell at the Capital. The programme pulili-hed for the proceedings provided for the speaking in the State House Square if the day was fair, ind if not, then places w ere to be de ignatad. The sky was overcast, but the rain which seemel to threaten held up, and the crowd aihered around the stand erected on the trecn nt the Capitol. The splendid band of the 18th Infantry made the music. At about 1 1 o'clock Governor Johnson, accom panied by Ex Governor Wright, was seen fore ing. bis way through the dense crowd that thronged around the srieaket's stand. With some difficulty he reiche 1 it. The band struck up Hail to the Chief, and the cannon thundered forth a salute. There were five batteries, and they fired salutes of thirteen guns from six different points. Hon. H. C. Newcomb proposed Gov. Wright as President of the day. Gov. Wright briefly re turned thanks for the honor. He regretted that Gov. Morton was not able to be present, on ac count of sickness in his family. Nominations for officers of the meeting were then in order. The following were the officers: organization. President Gov. Joseph A. Wright. Vice Presidents Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Chas. II. Test. Col. II. B. Cari mgton. U. S. A.; James H. McNeeley; Lieut. Col. Timberlake. cist; Major S. B. Glover, ßth; Joseph Devin; Cyrus M. Aden; Col. B. F. Mullen, 3öth; T.C. Slaugh ter; Robert Barnes; Lieut. Col. Keith, 21st; Col. Ben. Spooner, b.'ld; Lieut. Col. J. F. Ciieek, 7th; W. II. Dixon; Col. Silas Colgrove, 2Tth; (Sen. E. Dumont; Col. Streicht, 51st; Gen. Mi'o Hascall; Col. Harrison, 39th; Col.

Church, then in rokeJ the blessings of Heaven upon the country and the army and upon the assemblage. Mr. Newcomb then moved the appointment of a committee of one from each Congressional Dis trict to prepare resolutions. The following gen tlemen were appointed: 1st District John Ingle, of Vanderburg. 21 District Thomas Slaughter, of Hirrison. 3d District N. T. Horner, ot Bartholomew. 4th District Col. Ben. Spooi;er, of Dearborn. 5th District John T. Elliott, of lleury. Gth District H. C. Newcomb, of Marion. 7ih District D. C. Williams, of Putnam. fcth District W. C. Dougherty, ot Boone. 9th District Chas. II. Fost, ot White. 10th District Wm. S. Sample, of AHeu. 11th District Col. T. J. Harrison, of Howard. CHANGE OE STANDS. The main 6t and, where the orgauizition was effected, was facing west, and the wind being from that quarter, would blow directly in the face of the speaker. Gov. Johnson intimated to the committee that It would be difficult to speak uu der such circumstances, and a party at once set to wot to erect another stand on the east side of the State House. The reporters and others seized their chairs and prepared to change quarters. Through the kinndess of Mr. Holloway, the re portorial corps were conducted through one of the windows of the Governor's office to the new stand. A sea of upturned faces were already in front, waiting to hear the words of wisdom that might fall from the lips of the orator from Ten nessee. governor Johnson's srttcu. Governor Wright presented Governor Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Governor Johnson was received by loud cheers. Governor Wright said that twenty years ago he had the honor of meeting Governor Johnson in Congress. Since that time he bad been Governor of his State, Senator in Congress, and was now Acting Governor in Lis own State, lie comes to you as the representative of our institutions. He was n poor boy sat upon a tailor's board aud has since filled all these high offices.. He was a representative man. This Government belongs io the people, aud Govcrjor Johnson comes t you as a representative man of our institutions a loyal man from the slave States who is for the Union, the winde Union. He had presented to a se t of people here Governor Crittenden, but he never felt the same emotions as now. when he presented to this vat throng Andy Johnson, from the State of Tennessee, the home of Jackson. Loud cheers followed. Governor Johnson: The vast audience here to-d-y must bear with him. His voice was weak from a cold. While au inhabitant of e;other State he claimed to be a citizen of the United States, and' addressed the people of Indiana as his fellow citizens. He found an audience here to-day far beyond his capacity of voice to address He appeared in the midst of a civil war a revo lution. It was embarrassing. If there were any here who came expecting an oratorical display, they would be disappointed. He would only at tempt to present the great questions which had involved the country in civil war. The cotii'u sion here drowned the voice of the speaker i.ot distinctly he ird, at best Governor Johnson resumed. He was about to state that just the other day the contest was be tween the respective parties in pronouncing eulo gies on the Union. They vied with each other in this labor. What has in so short a time caused a portion of our countrymen to seek the overthrow of the Consti ution and (he Union? It had been said, he knew, that one portion had been deprived of their rights. He asked the sea of upturned faces, what right had we t iken from any portion of the people under the Constitution of the coun try? Why then this crusade? If there is one who could answer, he would like to le.ir it. He did not appear as a partisan. He had not changed his Dolitical ereed. lie was now w hat be always had been. He h id i.ot changed his views on the fundamental principles that underlie the Consti tution, lie stood here to day a Democrat. The Union of these States w as a fundamental princi ple of Democracy. The people were the source of all power. Their will, when expressed through the forms of law, was supreme, lie held to tlie principle tint governments were made for the people. The shoe was mule for the foot, and not the foot for the shoe. What rich's have you when you take away law? It protects the weak against the innig virtue uaiiist vice. Tliis was a put of his Democracy. What his brought. (Iiis cilamity u;.cu th-i country? In lM'l he v:is engaged in that me morable contest. Then ihe st. us and the stripes were borne on the hanneis of both parties, e icii vicing with the other in ilcvof.on to the Union. Thai was the re-it struggle at that day. Tlie toiite-t was, ivliiwe measures wte. the bet ci.l ctil ited to preserve thy Urion und maintain the C'-uistituiioii? Tl.cn w by tliisdisiiuioti in tht-S u?ii, and w hy this sympathy here? It is bad enougn there, but it is wo-.-e hc e Just the other l tv w hc-n D ii;las. Breckinridge, Lincoln and lieii were befote the peopie, slid each were loud in expression of devotion to the Ui.iou. lie made speeches lor B.ecKmride bec".ue h wanted to defeat Mr. L'lico.ii. anj the Hi cciii;i idge lovn denied Imvii.g smy deigti ag tinst ti e Union, lie hid advocated the liaims of inv'.:!iri:;i'.

I.e. me ask in sobei tie-s. if Ihctkiin ii or Divis li.:ii been elected i:i-:i. of Lincoln, cou! 1 the S ut.i not have stood this Union tor l oir e.ns loi:er? Then tho question resolves itself into this, that the scepter ii.ui departed, and they would not sub mit to a temporary less of pow er. Ate wu to have civil war after every faction? If we are to divide after every Presidential clecti-ni, what are we to 'ome to? Look nt poi r distracted Mexico. Hence, he said in the Senate, let Mr. Lincoln call his Cabinet around him and go on to administer the Government. If it was good we could have the advantage. If bad, change it by the forms of the Constitution. Mr. Lincoln had not a majority in either branch of Congress when he was inaugurated. The Senate could reject even his Cabinet. Then where was the danger? But thtro was a fixed determination lo break up and destroy the Government. The great mat'er was to have a pretext, lie read from the Montgomery Advertiser, stating that the revolution uns not a precipitate measure. It had been the fixed design lor forty yeats and agi tated all over the country for ten ye.irs. Gen. Jackson spoke upon tiio subject yersago. If there wer' miv J :..'!;.:! Democi ats heie he would address tl.OiU. He was told not l ing since by Mr. D naldsoti that shortly after tlie .eee-sioa of the State a number of traitors in .rehed around the tomb ot the old hco with ti e stars and bars. Said old mm Donaldson, "By the Eternal, I tx pected to see the o'd hero tise from his grave to drive them off." lie he'd in bis baud the origi nal manuscript, wii'ten thirty years h-o. in which he Slid, sneaking of Nu'u iicati'iti, "Hainan's gallows should te tlie fate ot ;!! sccii. The tariff was only ;t pretext and d.suiiioii and a Southern Confederacy the object the next pre text will be the negro and si avet v." There it is. You have it. What rights have the South !ot? I ask it as a Sir.iti.i rti man. The prophecy has been fu'liüed to a letter. Traveling along, who commenced t'-.is nefari ous war who fired the firt gun who shed tin! first blood? lie reheir-el the history of the Sumter affair. As soon as it could travel on the wings of lightning it was tol l at Montgomery, and the work of war commenced. Mr. Lincoln then issued his proclamation calling t ut lO'J.OO.I men, and he was denounced as a tyrant and a despot. II ul he n t done so, ivoqid i:ot ihe bir onets of Jeff. Davis have come North, and w onid we not have a military despotism? Lincoln vio lated the Constitution. Why, they forget that Jeft. Davis and his piratical crew violated it. His sympathizers see nothing wrong South, but all wrong North, lie said to those tint attempted to build up a party on these grounds, that they would b swept away. A Stale has a riht lo secede, has it? I tell you, a Stats never c::n leave the Union without shedding blood. He elaborated and spoke of the boundaries of States and Territories. He believed the Constitution and the Government w ould come out triumphant. It was indestructible! For seven years your fathers struggled. We ate struggling now. The sons of Indiana God bless them are struggling now. For seven years tlie fathers struggled amid toil and privation and blood, and they succeeded, 'as we would now. The Constitution is indistructible. Gobackto its origin. It was to form a more perfect Union. Its framers were philosophers as well as states men. They knew tint all things were undergo ing change, and they framed it to meet the ever changing condition of things. The 5th article provided that when two thirds of the States con sented it could be changed. Why thus seek to destroy it? Peaceable secession and - reconstruc tion indeed! He held that a State could not go out. Secede meant to disintegrate to go back to original elements. He illustrated. When the Constitution of the State was formed men in u sovereigu capacity voted for or against it. He went in as a sovereign; could be go out us a sov ereign without the leae of his fellow sovereigns? A man built a house or a block in a city. He got mad; could be secede and burn bis bouse. He repudiated tlie whole doctrine of secession. He was for the Union, and it it became necessary tlie lift drop of blood that warmed bis veins should pour out in its defense. What is the doctrine now with tho sympa thizers? Fdr the Constitution as it is and the Union ns it was. What is it doing? It is giving aid and comfort to armed rebels South. Au armistice, indeed! Why, they are laughing at them down south. They will hear nothing but recognition. Have they forgot that there are Union mm down south? He did not come here as a beitgar. He came to demand, in beir name, that this rebellion should be put down. He de manded cf the sympathizers here, in the name bf the Constitution, relief for that loyal people. They had been loyal where men bad to dare to be loyal; you have loyal men here because they dare be nothing else. He demanded, in the name of these men, protection under the Constitution. Their redemption had been delayed long enough. If there is not an effort made soon, he w ould come to Indiana, aud go to Illinois and Ohio, and raise a chosea band for their relief. He knew the horrors of war. He knew how painful it was to see a mangled father, or brother, or son, return ing from the field. The heavy responsibility rented somewhere, but it did not "rest here. He asked the sympathizer here to lift up his hand and see if it whs not red. Justice would come sooner or later. Tired of the war! It had lasted eighteen months. It took seven years to establish the Government was it not worth as much to main tain it? He would war thirty years. What was tiiity years on the page of history? Ifhrs Hie was spaied seventy' years, he would fight fkht on, fight ever. He would war against the-e Southern tyrants as long as the Spaniards warred against the Moor seven hundred years, lie related the incident of Paul Jones shootiug the officer who pulled down ti e flag, with the tein.uk that be was just getting ready to fight. We are just getting ready to fi-ht. j To show w hat the South thought of the Relel J sympathizers, lie tead lioni the Richmond Dis pacu an article giving a gloomy picture of their affairs, but drawing comfort from th.e alleged dis affection in our army, and a iuasi rebellion in the loyal Stiles. They relied more upon our di 1 visions here than upon the strength of their I ai m:es. He asked his Democratic friend ; here if they would not buckle on their armor and give aid to the loyal men South? The time is now to be united, and the best Government on e..rt:i could be speedily restored. He took a ievv of the field. The Mississippi opened, and Chatta nooga and Weldon in our bands, and we had the rebellion checked. Crush the rebellion first, and then quarrel about the Government. If you have got no Goveriiujent, there is nothing to quarrel about. But the armistice the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was. Why, the rebels don't want any compromise. WLat sort of a thing is it? What are you to put in it? He would show that the whole thing was spuiious coin. In lt:Gl Mr. 'Thorn 'S Corwin came forward in Congress with a proDosition to amend the Constitution in refer ence to slave property, so that it could not be again amended. That covered the whole r.cgro question. It was passed by a tvo thirds vote and submitted to the States. Has any slave State ado; ti; l it? It has been neaily two years since, and not one has adopted it. Why not? Because they did not want it. During the session three territorial biils were passed, and the six'.h section of each of these bills contained a provision that no law should be passed impairing the rights of private property the nemo included. lieie vveie bills protecting every Southern tight, and yet they uject them. It brings us back to the conclusion that coin : .1... 1... .1.;.... !..... .. ..... ti . .. i lost confidence in loan's capability for self gov- i eminent.

The speaker here traveled back through the j ! irstorv of tlie world to show how nations hid , been chastened by war, and h-.d arisen povci!.;l 1 by the struggle. He resumed: J Tee t;me lias come :s now upon us to tenth i the North and the S i;th tint institution con u;r. i ciniiot exist. But how long has it been since the i j institution of slavery could be agitated? Cati.j I slavery agitate the Government, and is not the j I Government to agitate slavery?

If be hud succeeded in miking a lodgment in one mind of the gied principles that lie conceived to be right, it would lie lewisrd enough. He trusted in God that if we i:id our duty that the baleful planet that bad deluged the hind in blood would disappear. and the star of peace ari.-e. Then we can have an armistice. Never ground your arms un til tlie integrity of th; law is re stored, lie bad traveled in Florin to uphold tiio Government, and he intended to cling to it. If the Government is to be ovettinow n he wanted t ) be entombed with the flag of the st irs and stripes as bis winding sheet. Cling to it then. Indiana has won a name highest in the iiich of fame. Will you turn your back upon your blot d lihed in a glorious cause? Ne er. If need be to carry out the glorious cause, ehod your own blood and spend your last dollar. When you talk of giving up tlie contest I feel like turning Peter tlie Hermit and preaching a crtisade. When 1 think of the brave boy who sleeps in death with out a board to mark his humble name, I feel like preaching a crusade as days of old the Knights went forth to redeem the sepulchre of our Savior. To the ladies he would say, if their sons were requiied, say as the Grecian matron did to her boy lis be buckled on his armor, come with it or upon it from the field. Talk to your boys as did the Grecian. If the sword is too short tell theta td step a little closer to the foe. This country will be disenthralled from Southern traitors and Northern sympathizers. 'There is a power be hind the throne greater than the throne itself. Say to your husbands, we would rather be sol diers' widows than cowards' wives, und you will be understood. Gov, Johnson spoke for over three hours and a half. Of course the sketch given above is a mere synopsis, but it embiaces the points of bis speech," avoiding Iiis frequent repetitions, and clipping the rounded periods. After ) " he1 a.i j dressed the ladies, ns be said, in conclusion, be ' spoke at considerable leng b t ' ont. the si'.ii.ir.on of East Tennessee, and tlie loyal iiiir.bi!..n' oi that region, their sufferings and privations.

Small, both of Fort Wat ne. spoke at onestand, and Generals Kimball and H i-call at another. Perhaps other gentle men spoko also at the same time. Gen. Carey followed Gov. Johnson at the main stand. We did not bear his speech. When be concluded the committee on resolutions reported as follows: r.ESOLLTIONS. We, the loyal people of the Slate of Indiana, in mass convention assembled, at the Capitol Square in this ci'y ol Indianapolis, on the 2tiih day of February, lcb3, do resolve: 1. That our attachment to the Federal Union is unabated; and that we will adhere w ith un flinching devotion to the National caue. That w e believe the safety of the country and tlie pres ervation of our liberties depend upon the perpet uity of the Union; and that we view every propo sition of compromise w ith Rebels on any oilier liasis than that of unqualified submission to the laws and the National authority, as wholly inad- missible, an-1 fi aught w ith the cost dangerous const quei.ces. 2.
