TREMENDOUS DEMOCRATIC DEM0NsTRA-
TON AT INDIANAPOLIS.
10000 OF THE PEOPLE IN COUNCIL.
Great Enthusiasm.

Yesterday was a proud day for the Democrs-
cy Of Indiana. The people responded 10 tie
call 10 gather in council, and assembled al Tho
capital 10 the number OF from twenty-five 10
thirty Thousand. II was q ratification meet
ing, celebrating os il did the glorious victories
which swep! the entire South, Kentucky alone
excepted Kentucky weeping in sackcloth
AID ashes over the CHARGED bones Of her
slaughtered citizens and the elective franchise
PROSTATE at the mercy Of The Tufian's blud-
geon. We say il was q ratification meeting,
For Il assembled 10 assure our Southern fellow
citizens that the Union is still sale, and that
Indiana acknowledges and reFpectstheir rights,
determined neither 10 relinquish her own no.
IN any way infringe on theirs. She. takes The
Consti;ut on as her guide, and will show no
iaVor 10 those who attempt TO avoid its pro-
visions, misconstne them or sci them at naught.
10 Judge by The demonstration yesterday, she
is oil right, and fannticism oad prescription
will not have Q place within Ter borders.
Tie meeting was composed OF such material
as seldom constitutes large public assemble
yes. The white headed fathcrs-the sires Of
"Sam," IL you please-old men, grown gray,
over whose wsinkled temples Times share
had Geeply traced, and The white locks were
ihlnly scnttered-had left the. quiet OF home
TO give the day 10 their country. There was
no ruslling youth or noisy boyhood. but the
bone and slnew Of stalwart men, and the ex-
perience of venerable age.
We leave the duty 10 our special reporter TO
furnish the details Of the meeting. II was pre-
sided over by Judge HovEY OF Posey County,
with great dignity. There were o number OF
Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Among the
SPEAKERS were Lieutenant Governor WILLARD,
Hon. JOHN W. DAVIS, r. B. CARPENTER, Col
onel TwYM.N, Messrs. Mcdowell, BuskiRk,
&c. There were three stands occupied by
speakers at the same time. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Willard is the %fayoriie orator with tour
Hoosier friends. He is animate, has o msgif-
cent delivery, and his cnus,iciiy flashes like
The gleem OF o cimeter, and cuts with the
keenness OF IFS edge. He coinplimcnted the
Enquirer upon the good service it had done
and was rendering. His severe 6enunciations
OF sam met with o hearty response from
every heart, and found en- echo on every tongue
in o loud huzza.
'Sam" is dead in Indiana /; as Mr.. Carmen
ter remarked, he will be buried so deep tina:
the trumpet Of resurrection win never meet
him. He is well understood and appreciated
in Hoosierdom, for as one OF the speskers OF
o mother stand observed, he had swallowed
Aboliionism and a bolitionism had swallowed
hm-like the two snakes that begun at each
others tails and went point further than tho
Kilkenny cats.
We feel confident that the Prohibiiory Lii
La" will be repealed by a large majority,
and, as opposed 10 That ~faDslical imposition,
Indiana will sand with Illinois. II the mem.
