FRIDAY, TONE 80. 1363. TEE DEFEAT OP THE SOT7TS UEE TBICSPH. It is s&id that society, like an amy on the march,''must always take its sick and "wounded with it. Ko less trne is it than in the onward march to a higher humanity and a better civilization, society must also parry with it the foolish, the ignorant, - the sfir-ccsonable: men who are perverse, ' cruel, those_who thwart, Un dor, and prevent all linit- ts wLse in policy or benevolent in action. This great class erf mean, and selfish, and depraved men, who support all that is had, and fight against all that is good, we have still with us, and one of the greatest trials which af flict-'patriotism and humanity, is to hefound the mischievous schemes, and malignant action and influence of euch men. It is not eternal vigilance alone that must be paid for liberty; there are other jewels of equal ly priceless value that must be given in ex change for it The patience that has learn ed to labor through long years, and to wait for many generations; the fortitude, that bears up with serene and steady front, and holds fast to its faith amid the fiercest op position, and beneath an almost crushing weight of wrong, abuse and outrage; the devotion to right, and truth and justice, that submits to any sacrifice, and suffers all pain and loss to secure the triumph; these ylsn are part of the price which have al ways been, and always will be exacted be fore men can possess ihe rich treasures of just laws and equal rights. In this tremendous straggle which to-day engages all the patriotic feeling and best impulse of the country, nothing can be looted upon with less patience, and noth ing is harder to bear than the oppo-. Eition, scorn, and hate of the men for whose true ■ good and enduring welfare all this sacrifice of blood and treasure is made. The loyal men of the Union are offering up all they deem most precious, binding upon themselves the heavy burden, and enduring all the perils and destruction of a bloody civil war, solely, that they may perpetuate for the benefit of the South as well as the inestimable blessings of the best government on earth. Hot for ourselves alone are wo fighting* not for our own interest and power; but we are battling for the South, for her pros perity and security. There is not a victory for the forces of the Union that will not prove a source of wealth to the South; not a defeat of the rebel army that is not rich with blessings to all that region; the nearer the day approaches of the restora tion of tie Union, the nearer the deliver ance of the South draws nigh; and the last triumph, of the devoted soldiers of the old Union will be the binding dawn of a more glorious day to the South than has.eyer before shone up on her. That this is so, no man in his right mind can doubt. It is a truth so long since learned by the South from the lips of those elder and greater men, who lived in the better days of the nation, that when the madness that rules the hour shall have pass ed away, they will themselves recall this early teaching, and with it their own better convictions and long cherished principles. Tn the meantime it is our duty to hold up the banner and push forward the col umns of the Union, until every rebel has laid down his arms and become submissive and loyal to the Constitution. There are yet perils to be encountered, and sacrifices to be made, but there must he no flinching and no looking hack, until the great work for which this war was begun is carried through to a glorious end. The Union must be restored, the Constitution must be established on every inch of the soil of the United States, and the great lesson must be taught so that it shall never again be for gotten-, that the Government which our lathers made was not built for a day, but for all time; and 'that a cleaving curse shall be his portion to the remotest genera tion, who dares life his hand against it. If any consideration besides this, that our own welfare and glory can be secured in no other way, were necessary to fasten us beyond any chance of faltering or waver ing to this sublime task, it might be found in the noble thought, that not to injure, or oppress, or destroy the South, but to bene fit, strengthen and elevate her, have we now taken up arms against her; and that her defeat and humiliation now will be but the first steps in the new path upon which shall enter in a career of ceaseless triumph and enduring glory. COTNTBY VS. CIIT. At the late election it was curious to ob serve the effect of humbug on the city and country respectively. "While the former swallowed the bait, the latter were not to be caught by specious clap-trap. Old “Liberty and Economy” started the cry of “ Stumptail,” and his secession organ, the Times, look it up and rung the changes on it. Said they, “If you want 100 “ cents on the dollar vote for the new “constitution. If you want to be paid “ gold and silver for your work or goods, ‘‘vote lot the new constitution. If you “want two dollars a day and roast beef, “ vote for the new constitution. By voting “ for it, all bank issues will be expelled 41 from the State, and nothing hut coin whl “ circulate in Illinois. All the stump-tail “ bankers are going against the new con “ stitution. They have spent $400,000 to “ defeat it. Every man opposing it is hired “by the stump-tail bankers. Tell them to “ pay you back thirty-five cents on the dol “ lar that you lost on their stump-tail, before “ asking you to vole against the new con -41 stitution.” Such was the argument with which the laboring class was plied. Old “liberty and Economy” started the cry, and a pack of .one hundred little shysters with the secession print at their head, echoed those catch words. The simple minded and ignorant were stuffed full of this absurd trash. It was carefully concealed from them that the hank question was a separate proposition, and that any man could vote for the exclusion of hanks and yet Tote against the new constitution. Thousands who would have voted in the negative on the constitution, cast their ballots for the swindle in order to punish stumptiil, as they foolishly believed they were doing. In a city like Chicago, fully one-half of the voting population are common laboring men who have little time or disposition to read and investigate. They catch np their impressions from the most blatant and big gest-month knave that addresses them. The demagogue that can spring upon them some specious, captivating humbug is sure to get their votes. If the falsehood be started too long before the day of election, it is generally exposed by conversations with more intelligent .persons; but when trotted out on the eve of the election, the mob invariably follow it, like a herd of buffalo that follow a disguised Indian over a precipice, never stopping to look or re flect until the mischief is done. This is the history of all American cities where day-laborers constitute a majority of the voters. On the main and essential question be fore the people;— For or against the pro posed Constitution, Chicago would have •cast an overwhelming majority in the negative. The judgment and instincts of the masses would have led them to oppose it. Four-fifths of the intelligent, reading and reflecting citizens who went to the polls, voted 'against the constitution. They could not be deceived and swindled as to the real question by tbe noisy brawling ol John‘Wentworth and his secession organ On the other hand, full four-fifths of the ■unlettered, and ignorant riftss swallowed the “ stump tail” bait as greedily as young robins take down worms, and voted for the swindle. It was different in the country. There the people read and reflect, and are not carried away by sudden panics and par- than sensations. The farmer is separated from the contamination of city corruptions. He is independant and self reliant, and actuatedmore by patriotism and principle, and less by excitement and prejudice. He counts his broad acres, and flocks, and s herds, and bolds the staples of commerce .in bis keeping. He canvasses questions from the stand point of public good, and voles intelligently and conscientiously. , Look at the result of the late election in 'the rural districts. The honest yeomen voted against the constitution almost in solid phalanx. Therabble of the towns ■were caught in the “stumptail trap” and swindled into voting for il Verily, that \ras a -true observation “ that man. made the town-but God made thecountry ” UNION IN INDIANA AND U.LIHOIB. Our copious special telegrams from In dianapolis in relation to the Union 'Coh- J vendon, recently in session in that city, have prepared the minds of our readers for an editorial affirmation of the. good news from the Hoosier State, It maybe summed up dins: Ist The. Union men of that honorable and patriotic Common wealth evince no diminution -of their intention, long since formed, to use all righteous means at their command to save the Republic. ScL- These Union men without distinc tion of party—Republicans, Democrats, Know Nothings and Foreigners—have united their strength.for the purpose of electing to the Executive offices of the State candidates whose loyalty is known to be unimpeachable, and, at the same time, to send into deserved retirement these bastard patriots, whose affirmations of loy alty arc so qualified by ifs and buis, as to amount, in the present crisis, to practical , avowals of earnest sympathy with the ac cursed rebellion. 3d. The increasing excitement has em boldened the disloyal portion of the popu lation—the followers of Bright, Yoorhees, and politicians of that African line—to cast off the disguises that they have heretofore worn, and to enter into affiliations with each other for the purpose of defeating the lawful and necessary measures of the Fed eral Government 4th. In spite of the efforts of the disaffect ed, the heart of Indiana is sound; and her noble sons are ready for any efforts and sacrifices which may be demanded by the exigency of the holy cause. This is the news that our dispatches, and the Indianapolis letter printed herewith, have brought us; and it is good news in deed. Once wehad a prospect ofjustsuch an union, and just such a concentration of effort in Illinois. The infamous treachery of the men in whom the Republicans trusted—men elected to office by Republi can votes, on the strength of no-party pro fessions —men who used their position to betray and wrong those who clothed them with power—has probably made any far ther efforts for an Union party in Illinois, a work that no Republican will under take. We devoutly hope that our political friends in Indiana will not bring up at the goal at winch the Republicans of this State, with the best intentions and the loftiest aspirations, have arrived. We congratulate Indiana, and upon her cheering prospects and the quickened pa triotism of her sons. A little work will crown their hopes with a glorious victory! DISLOYAL SOCIETIES. There is no doubt that in Indiana and Illinois a hand of Thugs under the direc tion, and by thQ suggestions of the arch fiend himself, are at work organizing for affiliation and co-operation, secret societies in which the -bond of union is sympathy with the rebellion. "We are told, and the tale is confirmed by testimony that we are not at liberty to discredit, that these nests ol treason are many in each of the State’s named, and that to them can be traced mis chief, compared with which the warlike endeavors of any ten thousand armed and avowed traitors arc slight indeed. Our readers will hear more of this hereafter. pH* Before tlie election, tlie secession or gan Irish that if the new Congfctu lion wasadopted, the present Police Com missioners would he turned out, and a new set of policemen would he appointed. Not less than a thousand Irishmen were prom ised places on the police if the new Con sdtution prevailed, and they worked like heavers for it all day, bringing to the polls every one of their countrymen entitled to vole, and a good many who were not. | Mayor Sherman will have a good time re deeming these pledges—especially as old “Liberty and Economy” promised at least one hundred places to those who served him when 3layor, as policemen. These hundred men, heretofore Republicans, were blowers and strikers for the new Constitu tion, using all their influence and exertions to coax and wheedle Republicans into sup porting the swindle. How are these chaps and the thousand Irish to be provided with places on the police? Of course nineteen out of twenty will be disappointed and cheated, and next election most of them will be just silly enough to he cheated again by the same knaves. ESg* Six 'weeks ago this city was carried against the Republicans, on. the cry of “ low taxes,” “no party,” “ economy and reform,” by 1,300 majority, and the day after, the secession organ proclaimed it as triumph of the pro-slayery Democracy. | Last Tuesday the city was carried by 1 850 majority on the cry of “ down with stumptail,” “give us a gold currency,” “ vole for the Poor Man’s Constitution.” The next morning the secession organ pro claimed the result as another “ great Dem ocratic victoiy.” It is noticeable that many who were canght at the former election had got their eyes open at the latter, as the “ Demo cratic” majority, notwithstanding the stumptail cry, melted down about 400. At the next trial the bottom will tumble out of these a Democratic victories,” and Chi cago will he herself again. Humbug is played out. The sober second thought will prevail. Senator 9* Expiring, The Republicans in the Senate whose terms expire with this Congress are Morrill, of Maine; Foot, of Vermont, Sumner, of Massa chusetts; Dixon, of Connecticut; Simmons, of Rhode island; King, of New York; Wll mot, of Pennsylvania; Wade, of Ohio; Chan* dler, of Michigan, and Doolittle, of Wisconsin, Mr. Dixon, of Connecticut, has already been chosen his own successor. Gov. Sprague suc ceeds Mr. Simmons, of Rhode Island. Gen. Pnntlsa, Gen. Prentiss, of this State, token at the battle at Pittsburg Landing, was in Richmond a few days ago, together with several other prominent officers taken at the same time, and succeeded in getting paroled, for the pur pose of effecting an exchange. They were sent to Salisbury, and will come into our lines in Burnsides department, the rebels objecting to sending prisoners of war through any other part of the lines. HeDowell to Belnforco McClellan. Secretary Seward was in Auburn on Satur day, Sunday and Monday last. On the latter morning the Advertiser had the following probably-by-authority paragraph: “ Wehare good authority for the statement that Gen. McDowell was ordered on Tuesday last to reinforce McClellan, in front of Richmond.” |2f* There was in attempt made on Monday last to kidnap a negro woman and boy at De troit, A dispatch, purporting to come from Daniel Mace, of Lafayette, Ind., was re ceived by the chief of police, authorizing the arrest of the persons named.

Ihduhapous, June 18 th, 1882. . Indianapolis, yesterday was thronged with people from, every-part of the State upon the occasion of the meeting of the Unconditional Union Convention. Politicians of the small kind and the large kind, and the politicallead era of the Republican and Democratic parties, without animosities or'partisan jealousies, leaving behind them the worn out gar ments of party differences, and clad in I the Tnfltitfti robes of devotion to the Union came np ‘ before the altar of country, Joined hands harmoniously and were nailed in one by their own free will —the people as one man bidding the multitudinous couple God-speed. The heavy of the past few'days famished ' the farmers with a brief leisure, and they came I also with their wives and children to this 1 memorable Convention. Democratic and Re publican politicians from other States came from cariosity, and disconsolate specimens of the Secession Bright, Voorhees & Co. Democ . racy were upon* the ground cautiously feeling the popular pulse. It was remarked that be fore the day ended they found that pulse beat ing in a remarkably healthy manner. The details of this Convention I have al ready telegraphed, and will therefore omit id alters of organization, appointments of Com mittees, etc., and elaborate a few points of general interest without any connected refer ence. THE CAUCUSES. Prior to the organization of the Convention, the two parties met in separate caucus to pre pare resolutions expressive of their views and to be submitted—as recommendations only— to the Committee on Resolutions when ap pointed. The Republicans took the broad ground that in the present emergency the people ot Indiana forgetting party differences recollected only their national duty; pledged themselves to aid with men and money the prosecution of this war now being waged only, to sustain the Union, uphold the Constitution and preserve the Republic, and not to stay the sword until these ends were attained. The Democratic resolutions I send yon en- tire as they arc remarkably bold In their utter ances and contain one expression which was the only political allusion directly or indirectly brought before the Convention or its commit tees. It is contained in the third general reso lution: “orof radical Abolitionists.” It was strongly urged by some in the caucus, bat, as will be perceived, does not appear in the res olutions adopted by the Convention, The following are the DEMOCRATIC KESOIUnOJTB. Resolved, That the resolutions to be adopted by the Union Convention to be held to-day ought to embiace all the following objects: Ist. The Union of all good citizens, without dis tinction of party, to maintain the Constitution of the United States as it came from the bands of its founders, with all its guarantees and safeguards for the protection of tfij rights of all the people and all the States. 2. The protection of the loyal people of the re bellious States. 8, The cheerful and heaity support of our Na tional and State administrations, in all necessary measures to put down and utterly crush out the present unnatural and causeless rebellion, and to I visit with condign punishment the leading traitors 1 who have instigated it, and those who have mali ciously participated in its atrocious and horrible enormities. 4. The care, sustenance'and encouragement of the soldiers in the Union armies who are enduring hardships, dangers and privations, and who are sacrificing their health and lives in the defense of our.institutions. Resolved, That on a platform embracing substan tially the foregoing objects, we will cordially unite with any and all of our fellow citizens, without any regard to former party names or associations. Resolved, That we nave no sympathy with the deelsns and purposes of the rebels or their sympa thizers. or of radical abolitionists. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions bo •prceentedto the Committee on Resolutions of the Convention when it assembles. The fourth resolution created au animated discussion in the caucus, the opposition re garding it in the light of dictation to the Re publicans. Judge Gooding, of Hancock, and Mr.‘Wallace, of Monticello, made able speech es upon the question, taking broad and liberal views, declaring themselves for the Union, with or without slavery, and unhesitatingly declaring that if slavery stood in the way of the successful prosecution of .the war, it must be abolished. ADDRESS OF HON. HE NUT SECBIST. Before the Permanent organization of the Convention, Hon. Henry Secrist, of the sev enth congressional district, a Douglas Demo crat, and the opponent of Dan. in the coming campaign, made a most telling speech. He said that be bod no speech to make to timid men. If there were one indl- vidnal in that Convention doubting that oat of this chaos the nation would rise iresher and younger tbnn ever, he had nothing to say to him. Let him go his own way. Alter tracing his personal career as a Jackson Democrat, he declared it to be the duty of every citizen, in time of war, without reference to party issues, to stand by the government as a child by Its aged mother, and he who turned his hand against Ids government would strike at the heart of the mother who nursed him upon her knees. If he, as a northern man, were opposed to the government, he would give that gov ernment a release fromlonger protecting him. He would never fight the battles of traitors ; upon the soil which had always defended him. I Any party against tho government was an 1 anti-war party. The action of a portion of his party—to use no worse epithet—was ex tremely illogical. They falsely premised that this government was overriding the Constitu tion. Dan. Voorhees went into the Breckin ridge party after Breckinridge became an I avowed traitor. He went into it when ail true men went out of it. Shame on such I Democrats I Shame on the Democracy which cried out “amen” when Breckinridge ar -1 raigned Abraham Lincoln for defending the 1 Capital I boldly make issue with them there, and as long as my voice is preserved, I will 1 never keep silent. I proclaim war to the kniie, and the knife to the hilt, against north -1 ern and southern traitors. To-day there is no middle ground. Every man who is not a patriot is a traitor, and deserves the halter. I If any man has come here to-day for the petty 1 spoils of office, give him his fill, for God’s 1 sake, and let him return to his wallow. Let us have men who will sturdily back up the government, and carry the banner of Indiana into every battle field, until this accursed and causeless war is ended. SPEECH or GOT. 0. XL MORTOK. The Convention was permanently organized by nnanimonsly calling His Excellency Gov. Morton to the chair. In response to the loud acclamations and wild enthusiasm which greeted him, he said, substantially: Gentlemen: —lbegleave to tender my acknowl edgments for the honor yon have done me in call ing me to preside over the deliberations of the Union ir cn of Indiana. We have met under most solemn clicumfctanccs. and I trust that every heart is deeply impressed with this solemnity and the condition oi our unhappy country. I doubt not many; of you now present hare been here before to conventions of one party or the other, feeling an interest in the success of principles and candidates. To-day you have met under more solemn circumstances than ever before. Are you able to realize the fact that you are now lu the midst of a civil war, the most costly, terrible and bloody the world has ever known? That Indiana has already laid down upon the country’s altar the - lives of 5,00'* of her sons 5 The sacriflce must still goon. God alone knows where it will end. Many who met with you in convention two years ago, now sleep beneath the soil of'Miseoori, North. Carolina, Louisiana, Virginia, wherever in fact the foes of our country have erected their baleful standards. When the war began I felt the import ance ot discarding party and all inferior consider ations. 1 was elected as a Republican, and 1 am, as warmly attached to the principles of that party as any man can be, and yet 1 feel it my duty, in common with every man, to lay aside all party issues and considerations, to serve the country in this her dread hour of peril. How far I have suc ceeded I leave you-to determine. [Cries: You havcdoce well. Governor/’] When I meet a man in favor of the unconditional support of the Gov ernment, and of all measures necessary to that end, 1 will take him by the hand and dalm to be long to the eatnc party with him. We agree upon the main question and until that that question is settled, we cannot attend to col lateral issues. It is the worst symptom of the time that while we arc in'.civil war traitors, are busy trying to rc-organizepartiesou old bases and thereby divide and weaken the people of the loyal States. [Cries, •* They can’t do it ’ I . We come here to-day from all parties, pledged to lay all differences upon the altar of onr country’s good. I trust that harmony will mark all your de liberations and that you will suffer no considera tions to influence your action except as shall be for the good of the country. When thewaris over, I don’t believe old party issues will ever return. Wccometogcthernowto save the country. We shall hcreaftcrdlvido into new parties. But until the hour of peaco shall come, regardless of past memories, we will come up aa one man for the sal vation of our nation. The rebellion is not a thing of mushroom growth. If it had arisen suddeoly.-it would have been put down suddenly. It was put on foot more than thirty years ago, and the same men. their de scendants and followers who‘attempted to carry out the nullification of’32 are in the rebellion of ’6S. It has been matured bv one and another pre text. It was first attempted to be carried out by a cry of an oppressive tariff, ruinous to South Carolina. That failed by the indomitable will of Andrew Jackson. He then said: 11 This will be renewed; It will develop in new forms,” and told the American people that the pretended aggres sions of the Nortu against slavery would be the nest pretext. The prophecy is fulfilled. The rebel leaders nave been greatly disappoint ed. They expected aid and comfort from the North. They thought they could carry the North western States with them; that they would slough ofl and go with the bastard Confederacy. To this end they represented that the South furnished the Northwest with a market for liscropa; (lighter) that their connection with NevtfvEnciand was a cold and indifferent one. I amTaOmid there are men in Indiana who have cherished that wild and wicked dream. lam afraid there are men looking forward and hoping that the acknowledged inde pendence of the South will allow them to form the tail to the Southern kite. I invite all goed citizens to go with ns.' It is not a movement of men hoping for personal aggran dizement. norofeChemlng politicians. It is the ac tion ot men who will sacrifice all for their country. 11 theie be no periodwhen tho peoplecau ignore par ty. the Republic is a failure. Now is the time, now the hour. If we cannot do It, we might as well call for a king at once. If we succeed in casting aside parties, the republic Is a success, if not, a failure. By such failures, the pathwayof history has been strewn with the wrecks of republics and governments .other than republics, many good -men -In this-State—have been seduced by the wretched claims of party. Secret-organizations have already been formed in this State to resist the collection ofthe national tax. The Federal Government cannot always overtook and forgive. It wQ! make'short work ofthe men thus engaged I warn you they are treasonable. I utter these woidanot as a threat. 1 have been tolerant. I have met with abase and slander from those who might well bo suspected as traitors by the Govern- meat. I solemnly nrge yon to keep your Icet from the treasonable toils. [Load and long continued cheering.] SECRET*OBOjLTHZATIOKS. As Gov. Horton intimated in his speech, secret societies have been formed in tbe southern part of the State for the purpose of res Ibling the collection of the national tax. The evidence, I learn from official sources, is strong and conclusive on this point. The 'traitors are known, and vigorous .steps will be taken to suppress them. Tbe follow ing letter addressed to the Governor by Hon. James Hughes of Bloomington, Ind., is one of many struTtnr ones touching thin startling discover: Bloomikgtoh, Ise., Jane 10,1863. To Bis Excellency Gov. 0. P. Morton : Em;—lt la & fact of each public notoriety here that a secret political society has been organized In the adjoining county of Brown, which is under* stood to be hostile to the payment of direct taxes to support the war, that it may well be inferred -that the rumors of the existence of similar bodies • in other parts of the State are not altogether with* . ont foundation. Should any considerable portion of the people of Indiana be entrapped into aaso I clations or that hind in times llte these, it may. ' lead to consequences of the most grave and serious .character. ! ily opinion Is, that they are spreading rapidly throughout the State, Entertaining this belief. I , deem it proper to call the attention of your Excel lency, officially, to.the subject, in the hope that you may, upon proper evidence of Its extent and true character, in some public manner, warn the good citizens of the state against them; and, , should it become necessary, take the proper steps to bring the subject before the Courts of justice. Very respectfully. Tour obedient servant, James Hughes.

THE PLATFOBiL The Committee on Resolutions reported the following as the platform of the new party. .The resolutions were adopted without debate or a single alteration, by the unanimous vote ,of the Convention, and were received with the wildest enthusiasm. The platform iij as follows: Wuereab. The National Government is engaged in a war waged against it by Its enemies for the avowed purpose of its destruction, and the subver sion of our rcpublicauform of government, there fore £esolred, That the present clril war was forced upon the country by the disunlonists in the South ern States, who are now in rebellion against the confutations! government; that in the present national emergency, we, the people of Indiana, in convention assembled, forgetting all former polit ical differences, and recollecting only oar daty to the whole country, do pledge ourselves to aid with men and money the vigorous prosecution of the present war, which is not being waged upon the part of our government for the purpose of con quest, subjugation, or the overthrowing or inter fering with the rights or established institutions of any of the States, hat to suppress and put down a wicked and causeless rebellion, defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to rn,serve ihe Union as establishtdhy oarpatriot lathers, with all the dignity, equality and rights of the seveial States unimpaired, and whenthese ob jects are fully accomplished, and not before, we believe the war ought to ccaae; and that we in vite all who coincide in these sentiments to unite with us in support of the ticket this day nomi nated. Mesolved, That we demand and expect of our ex ecutive and legislative bodies, both State and na tional, an economical administration of govern mental affairs, and thepuniehment of f a id against the government, as well as a fearless discharge of their dntics. Besotted, That as long as patriotism, courage and the love of constitutional liberty shall be hon ored and revered among the people of the United Slate?, the heroic conduct of the soldiers of the Union, who have offered their lives for the salva tkn of their country, will bo remembered with the most profound feelings of veneration and gratitude, and that we now tender to them the warmest thanks and lasting gratitude of every member of this Convention. Besot red, That we tender to the 63,000 volun teers from Indiana onr heartfelt congratulations, and hail with pride the fact that upon every battle field where Indianians have been found, they have displayed the bravery of patriots in defense of a glorious cause, and we pledge them that while they ate subduing armed traitors in the field, we will condemn at the ballot box all those in onr midst who arc not unconditionally for the Union. THE ADJOURNMENT. After the adjournment, rousing sneeches were made by Gov. Morton and the following Democrats: Wm. A. Bickle, Martin M. Ray, ex-State senator; Col. Wm. C. Rise, of the lOihlndiana regiment; Hon. R. Nebecker, of Warren connty; Judge Stillwell, of Anderson connty; Judge J. T. Elliott, Hon. Daniel Mace, Hon. Amos Levering, Gen. Steele and Judge Gooding. The Democratic wing of the new party expressed their views broadly and liberally, which may be summed up as fol lows : That while they were opposed to any legislation of Congress upon the subject of slavery, it must now take the chances of war. The rebels must now take care of their ne groes themselves; that they were for the Un ion with or without slavery, and that if the abolition of slavery wereanecessarycondition of the successful prosecution of the war, slavery must slide; that they could forgive the deluded masses, bat the leading traitors must be hanged, and that the Bright and Voorhees Democracy must receive its eternal quietus at the ballot-box. The proceedings of the con vention were marked with the utmost har mony and good will and the new party ad journed to meet at the polls, and celebrate its honey-moon. Its first off spring will be the election of the Unconditional Union Ticket by an immense majority. IBOH CAIRO AND HEIIPHIS, Cairo—The Election —How the Soldiers Voted— Gen.

The “ seepage” water has passed through the sewers to the river; themud has disappeared; vegetation is starting up, and the embryo city is putting oh multitudinous airs, and dreams of repairing streets and sidewalks, and begins to pay a decent regard to the conventionalities of corporate existence, like her older hut less ambitious sisters. “ ELECTION DAT.” Today Is an event in the history of the Egyptians—an “ episode,” as Artcmns Ward said when bis wife hod a baby. Early in the morning small politicians were pacing the streets, big with the importance of the *• com ing event,” as if the destiny of a nation de pended from their shoulders. Numerous bets wore made as to the result in the State, and one hardened sinner had the temerity to offer to wager that Cairo would sive a respectable majonty for the fledgling I That bet was not taken. Noisy curbstone orators harraogued the dear people upon the benefits to be derived by the adop ion of the swindle, and, I noticed, made telling allusions concerning the “bloody nagui” question. The audiences were re markably select—hut truth compels me to say not remarkably Intelligent These impassioned appeals ended, the whole crowd would adjourn to the nearest “ lager beer” saloon, and, after a hasty bibnlatiou, march to the polls in a solid phalanx and deposit their votes “for the new constitution,” “nogurs,” and alt It would be an interesting study to trace the connection between malt liquors and affirma tive votes. But, as this branch of philosophy is not my forte, I forbear. At this present writing the vote is undeclared and I am unable to give the record. It is safe, I think, to fisti matc the vote as four to one In its favor, HOW THE SOLDIERS VOTED. Sam. Buckmaster and his colleagues, in their visit to Cairo, remained in bllssml igno rance of the whereabouts of the 63d regiment, and foiled to receive their suffrages, doubtless from a wholesome fear of results. Not wish ing to be thus disfranchised the officers of the reciment opened the polls and received the ballots in due form, with a result which must be vastly edifying to the honorable “ Commis sioners” appointed to recleve the vote of the army. Company H voted separately from the remainder oi the regiment and forwarded the result to Springfield. The record of the regi ment stands as follows For the New Constitution 23 Against the New Constitution 912 This result is peculiarly significant, when it Is recollected that this regiment was recruited exclusively in central and southern Illinois. ‘ TMtPHTRS, The repairs on tbe late confederate gun boats, Sumter and Gen. Bragg are fast ap proaching completion. Before another week they will be sent below, and will doubtless prove valuable auxiliaries in tho work of open ing the Mif sissippL Elver. - They are both sea going vessels of great power, and in the hands of our brave men will yet astonish the con federates. Those who have examined them are forced to acknowledge that they are vastly superior in oil respects to our much vaunted gunboats. The Sumter is particularly strong -stic was formerly the New York tow-boat W. H. Webb, originally the most powerful boat of her size ever 'Cunt in New York, and brought from that port to New Orleans, to tow vessels through the gull. Her sides and bow are covered with railroad iron, so inter laced as to be perfectly impregnable. In or: der to test its capacity for resistance, a thirty two pounder gnn was recently fired at her at short range without making the slightest im pression upon her plating. This general’s division of the army has re turned to Corinth, and given up the pursuit of the enemy. The general and staff arrived at Cairo late last evening, and left immediate ly for Bt. Louis, whither It Is said he goes to obtain transportation for his division. He is said to be under orders to report with his command to General McClellan before Bleb mond. ARRIVALS or SICK. Tbe hospital boat City of Memphis, came in to-day loaded to the guards with sick and wounded soldier* from Corinth, Hamburg, and Pittsburg Landing. There were exceed ing TOO of them, to be mostly placed in the hospital at St. Louis. OOKFIBICATIOR. I was informed by a member of Gen. Pope’s staff that an official dispatch, had beeurt celved by Gen. Halleck, from Gen. Negley, confirming the reports of the federal-occupa tion of Chattanooga. No particulars were given as to the extent of onr own or the ene my’s loss. The steamer Kentucky, one of the captured steamers, has taken her place in the naval mail line. She arrived about midnight, and brought a variety of news items, which will be found recorded below. STJ2TOBT MENTIONS. The weather is hot—so the Memphians say, although it has not yet reached the degree indicated by the thermometers in Cairo. Ninety degrees is the limit yet reached. Steamers continue to arrive dally and hour* ly "with army stores and provisions for specu lators hailing from St. Loulb| Cincinnati, and Louisville. The levies, begin, to wear that busy appearance characteristic of Memphis before the rebellion. Provisions are becoming. plenty, but the great drawback, upon trade is. the want of a proper currency. CoL Slack’s order No. 3 prohiblring'the use of Confeder ate scrip, falls heavy upon the people, not withstanding it has greatly decreased in value. It is now worth but twenty, cents, on the dol lar, and cannot he used by the citizens to par chase necessaries.' An absolute prohibition of its use will bring out the gold and silver, which the people have fora longtime hoarded up. The prohibitlon-of CoL Slack does not extend to the issues of-regnlar banking insti tutions, or. those of private individuals. The AvalancTie or tie 15th complains of Colonel Slack’s course,, and indulges in argument as to its expediency, and asks the commandant of the post, to modify it some what, to allow time for the people to get rid of the stuff! Tht jfajor and committee of the aldermen waited on CoL Slack, the 14th to present their grievances, and to ask for a modification. The Colonel took until Monday to consider the subject. Meanwhile, Cspt. Gould at provost marshal’s office, was met by a delegation of women, who represent ed that unless money could be taken a while locger, they would be in a starving condition.. CapLG. said he would be happy to do some tiling, but had no authority. The ladies were referred to CoL Slack- What action that gentleman will take is rather a matter of un certainty. The Argus publishes Order No. 3, and com , ments upon it in milk-and-water style. It. had hoped that ten days would have been al lowed to get rid of the funds. It intimates flint, gold, silver, and Tennessee issues, have been boarded up for mouths, and the order will bring it out. It also calls upon all those Who hsve this kind of money to come to the relief of the city. Gen. Wallace’s dvlsion has not yet arrived in the city. A cavalry force arrived in Mem phis on the 14th, with transportation for com missary stores. Capt. J. fl. Edmonson of this city, of General Preston Smith’s staff, arrived on the 14th inst. with a flag of trace and was conducled to the headquarters of the commander ef the post, CoL Slack. The ob ject of the visit was to procure consent for the removal southward of the forty or fifty sick and wounded confederate soldiers left behind prior to federal occupation of the city. The result of his interview has not transpired. CoL Slack thought the white flag a flimsy ex cuse to introduce spies in the city, and stated that a repetition of the act would subject those performing it to arrest and imprison ment. Col. Forrest, commander of cavalry guerril las of that name, was in Memphis in disguise, the other day. lie talked with. Federal offi cers, obtained such information as he desired and left This is the report, but doubted, Forrest’s brother, who shot an officer of the Corondelct the other day, yet remains on a gunboat in custody. The injured man will recover. THE FLAG. The American flag now waves over the post office and from the residence of one private citizen, John Gager, Esq., once a Chicago man, always a Union man. Thepresence of troops will soon have the effee* to bring out the Union colors in other pli ces. SOMETHING EXPECTED. The 4Cth Indiana regiment, CoL Fitch, took steamer Saturday evening for parts unknown. It is supposed that it willhaveahaad in some thing interesting before long. TAKES THE OATH. Ninety confederate officers took the oath allegiance before provost marshal, Gould, on Saturday, and vrere paroled. 500 citizens and soldiers have taken the oath since the arrival of the Union troops. It is pleasant news to the citizens that Capt Go via retains the office of provost marshal. . ox DITS. The Memphis and Charleston railroad is being rapidly repairedand will probably be in use in ten days. Capt Cheek, accused of having aided in hanging a Union man, will have to undergo trial by court martial before the case is settled. Copt Check has been paroled, however. It is reported that a female spy, dressed in men’s clothes, was arrested yesterday. She is said to have been in Gen. Polk’s command. She was taken on board the Benton, AJIBrVAIi OF TBOOPS. The 34th Indiana regiment, Col. Ryan, lately located at New Madrid, arrived in Memphis Sunday morning, about 800 strong, on the steamer Crescent City. They are encamped at the Fair Grounds just outside of the city of Memphis. A company of cavalry and artil lery are attached to the regiment. B. X Supervisor on a Rampage. Malta, DeKalb Co., DL, June 18,1862. Editors Chicago Tribune: The vote in this town was: For the new constitution 1 Against “ “ 5 Our supervisor, H- Madden, a rank aboli tionist previous to 1856—who voted for Fre mont in ’56, and changed to a Douglas man in ’6O, and Is riow a Chicago Times man—is so indignant at the result of the election that ho tendered his resignation as supervisor, after the votes wero canvassed, and the following is a true copy thereof; Malta, June 17,1862. To the Town Clerk of the Town of Malta; Sm—l this day resign my office of supervisor of the town of Malta, the resignation to take effect from date—feeling that I am not a fit officer, or qualified to represent a people that is three-fourths in favor of negro voting and holding office. Tours, with respect, li. Maddeh. Now the gazelle comes in. The fact is, three-fourths of all the votes cast at the election were against negro voting and holding office. The supervisor himself was the one who canvassed the votes, and he read them off to the clerks of the election as being in favor of negro voting, &c. The error was his own, and ho resigns in consequence of it. Any man who reads the Chicago Times, I suppose, is liable to such mistakes. C. The Great Battle Near Richmond— What Gen. Richardson has to Say About It. A letter from Brigadier General Richardson, whose entire division was engaged in the bat tle of Fair Oaks, was handed to the Boston Traveller for publication: “Camp at the Fair Oaks Station, Ta., 1 File Miles from Richmond, Jane 4,1882. ) * it * * * * * THE SURPRISE. “ It was, perhaps, the most perfect surprise which ever happened on the continent, and the column, moving forward without warn ing, brushed away the division of Casey like chaff, without waiting even to throw out skirmishers In front and on the flank of the column. I don’t care to know anything of this moat disgraceful rout. Suffice it to say, they not only ran then, and have not since been heard from, but have abandoned their whole camp, wagons, teams, and seven pieces of artillery. The division of Couch, m the meantime, formed at this station in order of battle, and lad hardly done so when the head of their column appeared in his front also. That division stood up most manfully to their wort. In the meantime a dispatch from Gen. McClellan at New Bridge, glanced on the wires, ordering up Sumner’s corps, in urgent haste Sedgwick took the advance, and crossing the river, came into action. One and a haif hours before sunset, just as Couch’s divirion were having their left turned, the eremy penetrated between him and the corps of Hcintzelman, two miles from him, on the railroad. Half an hour more would have cut ourcolumn in two,whichwonld ; have secured the total defeat of our army. The danger wss imminent, and the division of Sedgwick, advancing at quick time came up at this critical period, and formed in Hue of bat tle in the edgeof the wood at the skirt of the brge open lied at this point—commencing a fire of canister shot upon the head of the col umn, from histwenty-lour pieces, which stag gered if, and tie division then moving down in line of bathe, completely swept tne field, recovering thus much of our lost ground. It was now night. My division came up on the left of Sedgwick’s, connecting with Bimcy’s brigade ofHebtzelman’a corps on my left; thus our line was secure for the night. From New Mexico. We have the Santa Fe Gazette of the 31st nit., from -which we take the following: Although there is some foundation for the rumors which iave been afloat during the week in regard to the appearance of some Texans at the nyper end of the Jornada, there is no cause for alarm. We understand that they were merely scouts under the command of Capt. Coojwood, looking out to see whether there was any movement on foot at Fort Craig whlcV might endanger their safety at. the Messillo. In the skirmish which took place between them and a company of the Colorado volunteers, they left fonr dead on the field. Whetier or not there were other casualties, we hive not been informed. Not ot e of the volnheers was hurt, notwithstand ing they enconitered double their number. AH apprehension that may be entertained in reference to tie return of tho Texans to New Mexico mar be confidently dismissed* Not the least probability of their coming back, Texans Sent Mesilla.— On Sunday last, the 25th inst,, quite a number of Texans were sent from Santa ; Fe, under an escort com manded by Lieut; Ayres, with a view to ena ble than to overtake the command of CoL Steel, which is ytt understood to be in the it«'ills. They bare all been in hospital here, and have received medical treatment from onr surgeon (3>r. Bailey), since the Texan forces commenced their retreat. Upon their haring recovered sufficiently to enable (hem to travel they were paroled and disposed of cs above. A New Rebel Fort, A secession schooner arrived here yester day, 6'it, from 'WilmingtonN.

The re bel agents here ray that the port of Nassna it bloclkded by a United States squadron, and they intend to make Bermuda their depot, provfled that tbe United States do not send a squadron to block their game, —Bermuda Car. AT, T,&U,Jme 7, A Kentuckian on Ne^ro-LoTlng. Col. Leonidas Metcalf, who, it will be recol lected, was challenged & short time since by a rampant secessionist to -mortal combat, and sent him to <( tho undiscovered country, ll lately made a speech to the Union men of Carlisle, Nicholas county, in which he paid his respects to the negro-lovers of the seces sion Times stripe. We commend the extract to that sheet and those who read it. Bays Col. Metcalf: Lhad started to pay my respects to the nig-, ger lovers oftbe South. There has been no i election since I can remember but the cry of nigger was raised- A constable, coroner, judge or president could not be nominated bat the same old tone was ground. Law after law was passed to tighten the tenure by which we held,them. Sta£e laws, fugitive laws, ter ritorial legislatures might legisate a man to the devil if they choose, if he had no nigger;: bat laws were passed to prevent them. from, legislating on the subject of niggers. A Re publican Congress passed' laws to prevent themselves from legislating on negroes in the - territories, still the cry was more security, - more concessions, until they require all to kneel to Gesler’s cap, or else they are not the Simon Buckner pure. They swear that it is God’s institution, and that in His sublime wis dom He instigated the trader to the pious call ing of catching and chaining the wild African in the hold of some gloomy ship, to transport him from Ms native hills where is soul is In danger, to the cotton fields of America, all for the glory of God and the increase of his king dom; that their pursuits and pleasure in Af rica are loathsome to God; but when they are transported to the cotton fields and learned to raise six bales to the hand, great is his reward, for he now pleaseth the Lord and shall have a seat is heaven; while the traitors who have so long been protected In making black angels, quietly, pocket the proceeds oftbe cotton. To all this you must solemnly prom ise and wear, or are au abolitionist. And some of these trmtoas are helping to populate Heaven with angels only half black. This is no joke; all this has been preached from the pulpit by the said sooty-winged nigger satel lites. They do not stop at insulting men, but blaspheme God with their obsequious dallying and pandering to a set of corrupt- jackasses, who cannot object on earth through wMch pleasure or 1 happiness oe secured but nigger; no oth er road Heaven but on a Digger’s back, rney must have the Missouri compromise or : they will break up the government. Then' I the Missouri comprsmise must be repealed, it i ain’t fair, or they will knock all the uuderoin- I nines from under Uncle SamneL The cry of abolitionist is the whip that is continually held up to scare the ignorant into the Democratic, and now the secession ranks. If you ‘.look at things with common sense, you are an abolitionist. If you are for coun try and for the majority ruling, you are an abolitionist. It Is time that we pat a stop to these insults. They cannot listen to reason. The only tMng that yon can beat common cense into them with Is a green sycamore club that will not bounce,or a bullet. A few whole some truths may be bitter, but nevertheless true. The accusation is very common tlxat the North favora amalgamation. Now, to tell the truth, and shame old Nick, it is practised to a fearful extent throughout the South and Kentucky. Go into anyofourtownsandsee the different shades and colors. Jet black, buff and brown. Mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound. But we will not speak loud on this. Some body might be listening. Ton can know every traitor in the land as plainly as you can your bogs, by the ear marks, They have a pass word by which you can know’them as well in the night as in the day-time—that word is * abolitionist.’ That is the sum total ol all their arguments. Gen* Negley’s Expedition to Chatta nooga, [From the Nashville Union, 17th.] There seems to be a misapprehension ou the part of the public relative to the object and results of Gen. Negley’s recent expedi tion to Chattanooga. Its object, we under stand, was simply to make a demonstration in force on that point for the sake of the effect which it was reasonablysupposed it would have on that portion of the rebel army stationed at Cumberland Gap. He whipped and routed Adams in Sweeden’s Cove, and taking position on this side of the river, opposite Chatta nooga, he made them skedaddle out of the city in true Southern style. They burnt the rail road bridges as they fled to prevent a pursuit never intended to be made. The federate did not cross the river into the city, but returned to Huntsville. About eighty pestilent rebel citizens o£ that section were arrested, as has been before stated, and are now at Shelbyville, wc believe. So, it will be seen, that East Tennessee has not been liberated, and it Is little less than cruel mockery on the part of our more north ern cotemporaries to so publish it. It has been reported also, that many of the citizens of Chattanooga mamifested their loy alty on the appearance o£ the Union troops, and that they were seized and placed in close confinement by the rebels. Wc saw the gen tleman who is said to have made this report, and we are fully convinced, from a conversa tion with him, that he was misunderstood. He, truthful, patriotic, and upright citizen, as we know him to be, baa been in East Tennes see all the time, and in conversation he has mentioned many rebel barbarities which oc curred months ago; and he is misunderstood as asserting that they have occurred since Gen. Negley’s expedition. We think it high ly probable that no recent arrests have been made in Chattanooga. Nevertheless, there was one gallant young patriot who was dered in Hamilton county, eleven miles from Chattanooga, who imprudently proclaimed his Unlonsim. Other cruellies were perpetra ted by the rebels as soon as the federal forces disappeared. We hope our military authorities will not again think it necessary to go into East Ten nessee until they are prepared to remain. W T hen the Federal army enters East Tennes see it should go to relieve that gallant people, and not to aggravate their sufferings. A temporary occupancy of East Tennessee territory is the most disastrous circumstance that could happen. Chattanooga could be held os easily as it could be “taken, and we hope to hear of no more expeditions that brings in their trail persecutions and death to a people that have never faltered under the most trying circumstances. Captain Ericsson and Captain Coles, An editorial article in the Philadelphia Press, claiming that Captain Coles stole the idea of shot-proof turrets from Captain Ericsson, has called out a note from the latter, as follows: “New York, Jane 13,1882. “ At the time when Captain Coles, in 1855, prepared a stationary cupola or ‘ shield ’ for floating batteries, the Emperor of the French had in bis possession an elaborately finished drawing ol an impregnable floating battery, made by my hands, and transmitted to his Majesty from New York on the 20th of Sep tember, 1854. The most remarkable features of the Monitor were all combined in the plan alluded to. The vessel was composed of iron; its tides were inclined; its stem projected over the propeller or rudder, affording abso lute protection; the deck was formed of iron plates, bomb proof, and in the centre was placed an iron turret sixteen feet in diameter, six inches thick, supported on a central shaft turned round by steam power applied below; ordnance of very heavy calibre was applied within the turret, the aim being effected, as in the Monitor, by turning the turret. “ Strange to say, Captain Coles cannot even claim tbe/orm of the revolving turret, for the plan sent to the Emperor contained a cupola or semi-globe, and not a cylindrical turret, as in the Monitor. “It is worthy of remark that It was not until 1850 that Captain Coles thought of a rei'olvif-g turret or cupola. “Le r me add lhat the Emperor acknowl edged the receipt of my plans with great promp ness, and paid me the highest compli ments on the occasion which I nave ever re ceived from any quarter. “Tours, very respectfully, - “J. Ericsson. Troubles Of a Scccah Malden In Paris, Among the humorous things to which, as happening in Paris, onr war has given rise, may be set down the following: A young lady from Sccessia, and herself of most intense secession proclivities, was anx ious, as all young ladies are, to be married. She-was not only anxious, however, but ready and willing, and so was her bridegroom, a French gentleman of wealth and distinction. In order to make the marriage civilly legal, however, it was necessary that it should be performed not only in the regular forms re quired by the French law, but aft c word in the legation of the country to which that lady , belonged. Here was trouble. The lady belonged to Seceesia, and Slidell was her representative. Bat Slidell’s blessing would, be of no more value to her, under the circumstances, than any ordinary individual’s blessing or cursing; and so, after much anxi ety ana mental trouble, not wishing to post pone the “happy day” till Mr. Slidell was “recognized” (by which time she probably could not be married, on account of the gray hairs and the wrinkles of old age), she finally mode up her mind to swallow the dose; and conducting her “ dearly beloved” to the Lega tion, they were married by Mr. Dayton, be neath the folds of the American flag, and, by a fiction of international law, upon American soil. It is said that Mrs. Slidell chided the young lady for her want of patriotism and self sacrifice, and asked her “ why she didn’t wait a little while till she could have been married by Mr. SlidelL” But she was too wise for that. Election in Peoria. The voting in this city bn the new constitu tion, yesterday, resulted, as we anticipated, in a large majority In favor of the instrument. Its opponents never made a single demonstra tion, never held a meeting or even a consulta tion, never ordered a ticket, never appointed a vote distributor, nor a challenger nor rallier. All that was done was done on the loose or der, every man doing what seemed to him best. On the other hand the Democracy were up and doing, and left no stone untamed to carry their end. The real majority for the constitution la Peoria may be put at about 600, with nearly the same for the bank article and the Congres sional apportionment The opponents ot the constitution ignored the negro clause pretty generally, so that the negrophobiets had it about all their own way. —Roria Transcript. The Price for Bnnnlnsthe Blockade, The Paris correspondent of the New York Times gives the following as the price paid by rebel passengers who run the blockade.- Says the correspondent: Would you like to know the price of run' ning the blockade. Lately a Southern gentle* man went from Paris to Liverpool to engage passage on an English ship which was loading for a Southern port. He asked tho pries of passage, and was told sixty pounds for the passage, and fifteen shillings (English money) a day for board. The gentleman renounced his project, mid returned to-Paris to await a fall in the price of travel to aecesaia. Another party of Southern gentlemen who have just arrived In Faria, tell' some strange experiences in running the blockade. They left the Southern coastal a point sixty miles from Bermuda, in a small boat, which would have becu probably lost if the weather had not been fine. From there they took pas sage in another small -vessel for the Cuban coast—a vessel on which they had nothing but boards for a bed, and but little food. A storm came up, which kept them out more than a week. They were four days on limited quan tities of bread and. water, and only arrived at their destination alter the most terrible suffer ings, and after passing through many dangers. At Havana they took the English steamer for Southampton. They report that very many persons ran the blockade in the same way. Sir*. Lincoln and the Soldiers I have just been informed, and mention it with great pleasure, that Mrs. Lincoln Is now in the dally habit of visiting the hospitals of the District, which are fall to overflowing with suffering soldiers. Kind words, beauti ful flowers and creature comforts she dis penses with liberality, and many apoorsol oler has returned her kindness wuh heart felt blessings. How different is such conduct on her pprt from that of the miserable secession women of Georgetown and Wash ington who have refused to send a bit of lint to Union soldiers, at the very time they were purchasing luxuries with government money for the rebel prisoners In our midst. I can very well understand ;how loyal people may sympathise with the misfor tunes of the Southern people, but how those who claim to be honest can abuse the govern ment and wish its downfall, while obtaining their daily bread from a public office, is to me unaccountable. And yet, such people may he counted by the score, and will yet have their day of reckoning.—TFosft. Cor. AT. T. Journal of Corumerce. FROM AUCTION.
