Democracy in l640.

On the Sth of January 1919. the De
mocracy of Indiana assembled by dele
gates from nearly every county, cmhrae-
ing more oil the leading members OF tie
party than had ever convened in the
State before.
Gov. Whl,eomb presided over the de-
liberalions OF the Convention. Among
the gentlemen who took their seat as Dell
ega,cs were T. A. Hendricks and J. NJ.
Slccth.
On the subject Of slavery in the Terri
tories, they presented the following resc-
lutions which were unanimously adopted:
'Resoi,~i. That the institution OF sla-
very ought not TO be introduced INFO any
Territory where it doss no. exist.
Resolpcd, That inasmuch as New
Mexico aud California are, IN Tact and
in law, free Territories, it is tho duty OF
Congress to preven. the introduction OF
slavery within their limits
This, then, was the Democratic plat
form, and Mere vac no installing its

but the duty OF Congress to prevent the
introduction OF slavery into the new Ter.
ritories. 1t soletnnly declared the sen,l.
ment of the Democratic party, that sla.
very ought not to be introduced into any
Territory where it does now exist The
platform was hailed with acclama,isn-
the resolutions were greeted with an
unanimous AYE swelling from the
throats of thousand delegates.
They were sent forth on the wings of
the press, cordially endorsed, and placed
at the head Of the Democratic columns
they were re echoed by county and Con.
gressional Conventions throughout the
State.
The Convention nominated Joseph A.
Wright for Governor, and James II. Ian.
for Lieutenant Governor. They came
before the Convention and endorsed the
resolutons--they traversed the State and
preached the doctrines of the platform
from every stump, and were triumphant
ly elected, standing proudly upon this
Identical anti-slavery extension platform.

State, leading Democrat, whose opin-

HOW SOME OF THE FREE SOIL EMF.
GRANTS CAME BACK FROM KANSAS.

The throngs of emigrants who crowded to Kan
sas carly in the spring. continue to leave that Ter
ritory in all directions. They arc TO be met in
scattering companies, looking halEstarved, sickly
and miserable. Many Of them have spent all their
money, have gathered up their little effects and
crossed The river to Iowa. on their why to their
homes, or to locate in some secluded corner of the
wilderness, or patch of prairie, where they will be
ut peace.
Every boat which comes from the Missouri has
among her passengers some of these people. We
saw them once before, in the early spring, wher
they went up .he river, with money in their peck
cts, hope in their hearts, health in their blood, and
the world before them.
They were then in companies of hundreds; the,
had family circles, and looked happy; they tool
quarters in the 'alins of steambuats. and partool
of the luxury Of repose and IL plenteous table
They we're thrifty locking emigrants, who woulC
40 honor to any new country.
We now see them in squads Of ton and TWEEN
tics-cripplcd, sickly and apparently poverty
stricken, crowded upon the decks of steamboats,
almost begging thFir way back to the homes the,
bad left n few weeks before. And civil war il
Kansas has wrought all this mischief; doomed
many n hopeful heart to despair and death, anc
embittering the lives of hundreds moro who's,
piteous story the world will never know.
The steamer New Lucy, from st. Joseph, las
evening brought down three or four families o
these people, natives of Kentucky. They ha,
travelled on foot from Kansas to Jefferson City
having left the territory to save their lives, an,
and being afraid to approach the river at a neare
landing, lest their progress should be intercep
ted. they were destitute when they reached Jeil
erson City, having scarcely any clothing and no
wherewithal to buy food.
One woman had nothing on her person but
tattered under garment and n blanket, and severa
others of the company were in little better condi
ton. They all Looked sickly and dispirited, an
made q touching tableau Of misery and despair.
The cabin passengers on the New Lucy behaved
nobly to them, and a purse OF $40 was made up 70
their benefit. The officers Of the boat gave then
their passage, and provided them With what com
forts they could during the trip. The n.oney vii
hc used for the purchase of clothing, to enabl
them TO continue their way back to their homes il
respectable habiliments. Some of them last even
ing were carrying quantities Of bread and othe
provisions aboard Of the boat. We saw one boz
who had as much bread and dried beef az he coulc
carry, which ho said had been given 10 him 10y
some generous dealers in provisions. These scener
are now Of every day occurrence, and we. a
cnroniclers of passing events, are panied to have
them to record.
