The Cambridge city Qnd.,l Ners, thus
speaks Of The lndisRa State "Fpsi0R" Con-
vention = We had the pleasure of attending
the Why, Free Soil, Abolition. and anti. Ne
braska Convention, which metal indianapolis,
on Thursday, July 18th. Our readers have
probably heard something about this great
convention, and would like to heer, no doubt,
who the getters up of this affair were-who
the prime movers are, in the great Peoples
Convention" The crowd was quite respect
able-as many present as we hal expected,
hut not more than one-thiTd as many as the
friends Of the meeting and anticipated. This
fusion convention was composed of
''Black spirits and white,
Blue spirits and grey,
Mhngle, mingle, mingle,
You that mingle may"
and the leading ''spirit'' from this portion of
the State, Were David Kilgore, G. W. Julian,
Solomon Meredith, Matthew r. Hull, and other
lesser lights Of the same political complexion.
We were delighted TO think that but a very
few Democrats in this district were induced TO
attend this gathering, The Democracy knew
TOO well that the real character Of this affair
was cloaked und the guiSe of the Peoples
COnpcntion, consequently they remained at
nome TO attend TO their own business, enter
tanning a stronger devotion Cor their old and
cherished principles for which they have con-
tended this half a century.
After the Convention was organized, speech
es were made by II. S. Lane, wing, Geo. B.
Jccelvn, wing, II. l.. Ellsworth, dem. Tie
afternoon exercises begun by a speech from
VI. r. HUH, WHO commenced ty saying he
,,opt Il - 90, V,lotlor a., oony,,t,o, ,,,oplJ
listen TO one Of hls wool, and after speakinga
few minutes some Of tie audience began 10
call for Hendricks, Hendricks, while others
commenced, ego on Hull. COON Hull" "hear
him, hear him." &C., after the third effort Of
tits kind, Hull said to that portion of the au-
dience, "Shake your heads and hollow, what
do | care for your hallooing. | am used TO
such conduct, and i'll don't get egged more
than twice a week, | am doing remarkably
well. Hull here finished his speech, when
J. A. Hendricks appeared and made a very
lame effort, such as did not attract the atten-
ton of The audience. .Ex-Gov. Bebb, formerly
OF Ohio, followed with a wing speech, filled
with empty declarations, without force or ar
gument. he committee o. Resolutions then
reported, and Geo. W. Julian, Esq made a
minority report, which he defended With
a speech; they were voted down. We no.
tice that this district vas represented on the
committee 10 report permanent officers, by NJ.
L. Hull, the committee on resolutions, by &.
". Julian, and that Walter C.. March, dem
was appointed one Of lie Vice Presidents, who
declined serving, The following,is the ticket
nominated, Secretary Estate, f. B. Collins,
Auditor Of State, II. f. Talbot, Treasurer, W.
R. Nolsinger, Judge Of Supreme Court, S. B.
Gookins, Superintendent of common schools,
c, Mills, two wings, two democrats, and one
Temperance.
Mr.. Collins certainly belongs to the know
nothings, for in his speech he said he had once
voted for Lewis B. Cass COR the PreSidencywhich
was about the extent of his democracy. 1t
was announced that Nr. Nofsinger wa o SON.
in law 10 some great man, consequently the
necessity Of his election. We think this CON
v~ention was considerable Of a fzzle, and the
Democracy can have no fears Of the success of
this fusion ticket.
