We copy the following notices of the Mass
Convention to be heldin this city on the 18th,
from our exchanges. Let all the People came
up; the Democracy will have such meeting
as has never been equalled in enthusiasm or
numbers in Indiana:
THE CoNvENT0N.-We cannot but be
gratifed at the evident arousing of the Demo-
cratic masses throughout the State. and the
indications not to be mistaken of an unusual
interest and determination not to be defeated
in the approaching campaign which is to test
forever the integrity of the masses. and their
faith in the original principles of democratic
government. Extensive primary meetinos
are being held in almost everv county in the
State, and the convention at INDIANAPOLIS will
be brilliant affair. Remember the 29th Of
August, Democrats Of La Porte. and let no
obstacle prevent you from being at Indianapo-
lis on that day. 1t has been "A matter of com
plaiEt that the Northern part of the State
has never had It's influence in Convention at
the Capitol, and there has ALWAYS been "A
reason for IL; 1t has never been willing TO
spend the time and money. Turn out once.
and show to the State, that there is true
and living spirit Of Democracy imminent
around the shores of lake Michigan, as along
the Ohio; and as ready ever.to stand by the
Constitution, and Confederacy-to maintain
our eountry's glory and Nationality, and per-
petuate her Liberty, at whatever sacrifice, as
the most devoted of her Sons
Arrangements will be made with the Rail
roads to afford every facility for the trip. and
there can be no excuse for a neglect to attend
this Gallo Porte Times.
CEFWe copya call for a Democratic Mass
Meeting at indianapolis on the 29.h of Au.
gust next, from Tie State Sentinel signed bv
upwards Of TWO HUNDRED Of the most dis
tinguished Democrats of Indiana
The Sentinel also states that it omitted
about SIX HUNDRED names for the want
of room.
The Sentinel, we feel warranted in saying,
may count on the Democrats in old Madison
en- mosse
Democrats, every where let us Rally
Rally to the Capitol on the appointed day.
Let us have a called meeting in Anderson
for the purpose OF organizDga procession of
all the Democrats in the county, Who can

Let us meet on SATURDAY, August the 11th
What say you, fellow Democrats? Let us
swell the crowd to such a crowd as lndiaDapo-
lis never before dreamed of. Hurrah for De-
mocracy.-AnderSon Standard
Duty OF THE DEMOCRACY call which
we publish to-day for Mass Convention of
the Democracy of the State, we consider eX-
ceedingly opportme. 1t was signed by some
nine hundred prominent Democrats of the
State, but we omit printing the names as be-
ing unnecessary.
The first duty OF the Democratic -yeomen
of the state will be to respond heartily to the
call. This they lgU DO l0ith viU. A mass
of men, animated by high resolves, and in
tent on the cOnsummatiOn of the purest and
most patriotic purposes for which men ever
assembled together, will be seen congregated
at the capitol on that occasion, such as, for
numbers, were never beheld in that city be-
| fore. Like an army with banners, will be the
aspect of the mighty multitude, and the scene
will strike such terror to the soul OF the by
brid Fusion of Know-Nothings, Abolitionists,
and the conspiratOrs of the League, us will
not soon be recovered from.
! The second duty of that portion of the
/ Democratic host which will be there conven
ed, will be TO apply the line and plummet of
/ Democratic prInciple to every suggestion of
policy there uttered ooB,e fran ,ghat quarter 70
may. Let the time honorcd tombstone of
! the party be the test on that day, and the
| first conflict which takes place with the mot
ley ranks Of the opposition, will once more
enable us to exult in a glorious Democratic
/ victory. With such test, no terms will be
made on the one hand, with the mobocratic
outlaws who have oyerthrown popular sove-
reignty in Kansas, and, on the other, the in
cendiary visage of abolition will not dare
even to look. in upon tn, scene. With such a
test, such platform VIII be adopted as every
lover of the constitutional rights of the citi-
zen must approve, aud such impetus be
given to the progress Of Democratic sentiment
as will cause Know Nothingism TO call upon
the mountains and hills to fall upon and bury
its hideous carcass forever.-G Goshen Democrat.
THE STATE C0NvENTIoN-From our ex-
changes we have the most gratifying eviden-
ces that the Convention which we noticcl in
our last, to be held on the - inst, at Indian
! apolis, viii lie one Of the largest ever held in
the State The Democracy of Indiana have
as much vitality to-day as they had during
the memorable campaign of 1914, and only
requires to be aroused to a sense of their du-
ty to their country and themselves. to make
them invincible. This is an important crisis
in the affairs of our country, and it behooyes
the Democratic, as the only national party,
to look well to who shall be the rulers of our
government for the future. The convention
of the 29th will embrace all those who are
national in their views of the policy of the
government and are opposed to a dissolution
of the Union. The platform adopted by the
Fusion party on the 18th July is so sectional
IN its character that should that party sue
coed, a dissolution of the Union could hardly
be ayerted
We were gratiied to learn that no dele
gates attended the fusion convention of the
18th from this county Preparations are ma
king to have a good turn out on the 10Th,
and Old Franklin will be there in large mum

6FWe publish below, the call for a grand
Mass Meeting of the people, and we hope
that every man with a soul of his own will
respond to this call. We ask not what party
