| The nominees being called upon for remarks,
Mr. WEBER said, that the honor conferred upon
him by the convention had been entirely unsolicited
on his part When called upon by his neghbors, for
that purpose, he had consented that his name might
be used in their primary meeting, but had little idea
that it would have to this place hacked by the
very iattering approval of the people of tue county
He would not then attempt discussion OF questions
of public policy, but he promised, that, other oc-
casons pending the canvass the people should hear
from him. He was grateful to the convention for the
honor conferred and whether successful or unsucces-
full, he would never to recoect the mark OF re-
spect that had been extended TO him.
MI WILSON said, that although he dstrusted his
own Abilities his best efforts should be used TO carry
out the wishes of the county, should he be success
full In the canvass. He democrat, because he
believed the principles of that party right and
such as he hoped would be handed down TO his chill
dren He had lived the greater part Of his life in In
diana, having here while 1t still territory
He had formed many acqualnanceS IN different por.
tons of the State and the strongest feelings of at
tachment existed bind him to the soil and the peo
ple and the honor conferred, the present occasion
would be cherished with the most grateful emotions
The occasion did not demand extension of his re
marks, and he would take other opportunities to ad
dress the people.
Mr.. BoLroN said that all present would bear hin
4,of bod do n
obtain the nomination that had been voluntarily ten
dered by the convention indeed he had come her
without the rcmoes idea of his name being used 70
any Office But the quarter from whence the sugges
ton proceeded prompted him to leave the matter wit
the convention. He had resided long in the county
and had been in situations where character and prin
ciples had been subjected to the most searching in
vestigation The Office, TO which the convention hat
nominated him as a candidate, unconnecte,
with National politics, and, should he be successful
its duties would tend more than any thing else f
withdraw him from active political life, it woul
be his determination to give his undivided attention
q the discharge of its duties. The Office of Auditor
however, was one closely connected with the inter
ests of the State, being of the wholesome checks
in carrying out system of finance. Indiana he be
lieved, was destined TO resume a proud positio
amongst the constellation of States; but it would re
} quire the united efforts of the stout hearts an
strong hands of her citizens, and the faithful dis
charge of duty the part of her public servants Th
success of the democratic party, in the election
If President Polk be believed, would rebound 10 tn
interest of the country, and prosperity appeared to
n returning to our land. All appeared to be Statistic
# with the earnest he had already given of faithft
70 discharge Of the duties of chief magistrate Of tn
great and growing republic, and he trusted still fr
n Their content would be manifested by many who ha
opposed his election He had many personal friend
amongst those who had acted with the party oppose
" to him in politics; men who with him had been ii
pioneers of the White river valley and without con
promising any of his own political notions or requi
ing sacrifice of any political principle from then
he did not despair, in canvassing for Office enre
unconnected with party politics, to receive their SUI
port. He thanked the convention for the honor COZ
ferred.
