Hon. John l.. Robinson.

We copy the following notices Of this dis
tinguished Democrat in connection with the
Gubernatorial canvass, from our exchanges.
The Richmond Jeffersonian says:
''In casting about for the most acceptable
candidate, the name of John l.. Robinson
has been suggested, and has met an cnthusi-
astic response from many Democrats. Ills
location, ability, and unwavering Democracy
favorably commend him to the Democrats Of
Indiana as worthy standard bearer TO lead
the Democratic hosts IN the next campaign.
he has received more uurnerited abuse, from
Fusion editors and orators, than any man in
the ) ate but their abuse aud calumnies have
been harmless. tie possesses untiring ener-
gy, and on the stump has no superior. As
the chief Executive officer Of the State, he
would guard with vigilance the interests OF
the people and schemes to plumber the
Treasury of State would find no favor with
him. As politician ne presents fair rec
ord, and as an honorable man and a good cit
izeG, no objections can, with truth, be urged
against him. Our preference Is Tor John l..
Robinson, but the nominee of the Conven-
ton, whoever he may be, will receive our
hearty support"
"Among the different individuals ve have
heard spoken of as likely to obtain the nomi-
nation of the democratic party for Governor
at the Convention to be held on the 9Th oil
January next, is the Hon John l.. Robinson,
the present Marshal of the State. Mr.. Robin
son is a gentleman of very considerable talent,
ne represented the State in Congress for three
terms, and has no superior as political de-
bator in Indiana He is, and has been a most
reliable Democrat, and has by his talents
energy and fearless independence done the
party more service than any other leading
| man in the State. No man has been the
subject of more vituperation from the abOll-
ton and Know Nothing party than Mr.. Rob
/ inson and no has sustained himself with
more credit than he has either IN political
| life or in his social relations. We are salts
fed that his nomination would give genera
satifaction to his political friends in this quar-
ter of the State and we do not doubtlt woni'
elsewhere We believe his nomination woul'
give general satisfaction to the Democracy o
the Pocket The "tenth legion" would b
pleased to see him nominated.-COr. Evans

Ou,. N5It GoUal1Or.-As we have alread
said, in noticing our coming State Conven
mocracv of indiana ought to select as the
standard bearers men of backbone and of tn
true faith-men who have the nerve to stan
squarely upon the democratic platform, an
4 for no considerations halt between two opir
ions. We have in Eastern Indiana such
: mana democrat of whom the party in til
State, and Union, are justly proud. Thi
' man is John l.. Robinson.-BrOokViHe Den

as the Democratic candidaet for Goveno
e He has ability of the first order as a polite
canvasser and writer, aud if placed on Il
S ticket will prove host. He is excelled
