Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-01-17

the support of every Union loving man in
the State.
The following brief notice Of the nomi-
nees of the convention We clip from the
Sentinel.
ASHBEL P. WILLARD was nomina-
ted for Governor by a large majority; and
the unanimity and the enthusiasm with
which tie nomination was received is
sufficient indication of the place he holds
in the hearts of the people. His eloquent
voice has often been heard in every portion
of the State in defense of the principles and
measures of the Democratic party, and we
predict that before the second Tuesday in
! October he will give his friends reason to
be proud of their chief. Knowing him in
timately and thoroughly, in all the relations
of life, as we think we do, we can assure
the Democracy of Indiana that no trust re-
posed in him will be violated-no conf
dence betrayed,
| 1t is due to the Hon. John L. Robinson
to say that his magnarimity in withdraw
| ing from the contest for the Gubernatorial
nomination, in connection with which his
name had been warmly urged by many
friends in various portions of the State, is
worthy of all praise, and proves that he
values the union and harmony of the Dem
ocratic party of more Importance than the
qualification of any personal ambition.
Col. JOHN C. WALKER, the nominee
for Lieutenant Governor. is a name famil-
lar to the Democracy of Indiana. He has
served as member the State Legislature,
was for Il considerable period editor of the
Laporte Republican Times, and more re-
Gently of the State Sentinel, in all which
capacities he proved himself equal to the
task set before him. He is admirably quail
flied by his talents and his experience for
the duties of the office for which he has
been n6mina ed The Democrats of In
diana, and the Fusionists, too, will hear
from him before the ides of October
DANIEL MCCLURE, of Morgan, for
Secretary of State, is a name not SO famil-
lar as the two preceding, but those who
know him best are his most ardent friends.
He made bold and manly fight as a can
didate for the State Senate i'll 1854. and al
though then beaten down by the hosts of
Know Nothingism and Abolitionism, he
contributed much towards exposing the
evil tendencies of the isms His qualifi-
cations are of the highest order.

tanned an unblemished reputation for in
tegrity and high moral worth.
OF Prof LARRABEE, the nominee for
Superintendent of Public Instruction, it is
scarcely necessary for us to speak. He has
nominated. and discharged his duties with
fidelity. No officer ever Iabored with more
assiduity than Prof. L., and his nomination,
at this time, shows the estimation in which
he is held by the Democracy.
The nomination ofJOSEPH T.. MCDON
AID, for Attorney General, will give gen
eral satisfaction to the Democracy of the
State. Mr.. Med. is a lawyer of ability
