o. The following letter has been handed.
US by strong old Republican friend, of Boon
vile. We aecede to his request and give it a
place in our columns:
INDIANAPOLIS, July Is, 1856. 49,
Mr.. SANDERS: am at the CAPITOL at the
Fremont Ratification Convention, and have
seen the elephant" Henry S. Lane lead off
with an eloquent and truly Republican speech.
Judge Morton followed, and confirmed the
opinion that formed from hearing him speak
in your cty,-that he is a Maryland when |
apply that term to him know of no other
more honorable. One must have an upright
form, an open countenance, an intellectual
mind, and an honest heart, to be a man. Is
possible that j Judge Morton has cast an illu
sion over my mental vision, and by that means
impeled me to honor, yea, to love him? l
will not believe it, and do positively pronounce
him to be a man.
The display was magnificent to-day, beyond
any thing ever saw before. Tens of thou
sands are required to number them, and the
banners exceed thousand. no doubt The
sa1dest emotion that impressed my mind
through the day, was caused by reading the
the following motto on banner: Down with
the murderers Of the ireemen of Kansas
The tone Of the conversation was Republican,
the tone of the banners was Republican,, the
toae of the speakers was Republican, and why
should they not be, since Douglas i Co. have
made such aggreSsions on free territory, free
speech and free press
The Old Liners have rendered us the issue,
and claim that slavery is national and freedom
sectional. The Republicans adopt it and say
that freedom is national and slavery is Sec
tonal.
Some three hundred cars came in to day, on
the ten different railroads centering here, load
ed with Republicans. Tippecanoe sent $50,
and took home the banner The moral spec
tacle that the scene afforded was rich, to be
hold some $1,000 determined, intelligent, or
del !. and in spite of Perkins,) sober people,
assembled to put down the reckless Old Lii
ners.
A portion ofmy partners, in the firm of the
State propose to select Willard as our princi-
pal agent. 1t is legitimate for me to enquire:
rs he temperate?'' I he evidence is strong
that his sanity is often put of its balance by
the intoxicating cup, so protest against our
partners appointing HIM as our agent
The display to-day by fathers, mothers, sons
and daughters Of freedom, inspired ME with
the conviction that the Democracy cannot sub
lue Us. No, not with the borderruthlnS, not
with the government, nor with the army
They can murder Dow, Brown, &c, they
can burn hotels, sack towns, destroy pres SEES
tar and feather preachers, and knock down
Senators,-hu one thing they cannot do, they
cannot subdue the Republican party. Yes
sir, North and How were as sane when they
entertained the whln that they could suhdue
Iur fathers Of rs, as Atchison, Pierce and
Douglas are when they imagine they can sub
due Us. The offense of the latter against true
republcanism is far greater than the former.

admirably, and that for the transfer OF the

the camel is perfectly fitted, and withstands
the soil and climate Of the country without
any difficulty. Thus far only IS have been
