Hon. A. p. Willard being loudly and re
peatedly called for by the Convention, respon
ded to his nomination in one of his most elo-
quent and patriotic speeches. He was re-
joiced at the good feeling and harmony which
had characterized the proceedings of the Con-
%vention. Where discord and heart-burnings
had been predicted by the enemies of De-
mocracy, peace reigned supreme, and concil-
iat.on aud forbearance were the ruling prin-
ciples 81 faction. lie thanked the Convention
for the honor they had conferred upon him.
lie was a young man IN years, but his Dem
ocracy ran back To the earliest period Of his
youth, and his political experience had been
such that he trusted he would not err in the
administration Of the affairs of Indiana,
should he be elected to the honorable posi-
tiou for which he had been nominated.
The Democracy of Indiana, however,
owed him a debt: they owed him their coun .
sci aud advice. He hoped ever TO havo
them. He would labor To always merit them.

to be secuted and we were told that the es-
ta5hshment of those principles was but to
place our people sin league with hell" The
true patriot has but one course to pursue, and
that is to make common cause with the Demo-
cracy agai"stthe combined forces of Abolition
ism, Know Nothingism, Black Republicanism
aud fanaticism OF every description. Would
the Democracy of Indiana hesitate TO make
the battle ? did they fear 10 meet the foe ?

throughout, was beautifully eloquent, and
Geelinsly patriotic, and the speaker WAS fire.
luently interrupted by the spontaneous and
enthusiastic applause of the assembled null
titude. We regret that our lack Of room
prevents us giving the speech in detail.
Col. John g.. Walker was then called for.
and in a brief speech returned his thanks TO
The Convention for the nomination he had
received at their hands. He, too. was a
young man but like his eloquent and gifted
friend who had preceded him, he had had
