would embody the vital, living issues which

For myself believe sincerely in all ''the

but shall cordially cooperate here with
any one who. spurning the behestS of par
ty. is ready to war, in common with the
Republican members, against forcing a
slave constitution upon the free people Of
Kansas. To allow the ultras Of the South
to succeed in this plot gives them SO much
power for still further aggressions. To
crush it ont in defiance of their threats, in
defiance of the Administration, in defiance
Of the demands Of the dominant party here,
would be a triumph that would be an
augury of better nays for the Republic, and
would both reward and vindicate the patri

Elsewhere in this paper we print very

Schuyler Colfax. of Indiana, to the Gcner-
al Republican Convention OF that State
1t will be read will, great interest through
out the west; and it will conclusively prove
to every unpreiudiced member Of his party.
the wisdom of his Indiana admirers, in thus
putting him on the track for another race.
Mr. Colfax has great claims upon the Re-
publican organization, for the zeal and a
bility with which, in Congress and out OF
Congress. he defended its principles; and
his immediate constituents will not do hin,
Justice or satisfy the expectations of the
party ontside of his district, if they fail to
give him the hearty aad unanimous back
ing which his eminent usefulness deserves
Among western members. Mr.. Colfax has
few, if any, superiors.-C ca ago TiiJune,

We do not know who is Mr. Colfax' S
competitor for the nomination, nor do we
know that he has any. or will have any, but
we are very sure that no man can be found
in his district, or in the State, who will do
more work, or do it better He is mar
vel of industry. and with his admitted in
tcsrity and ability, he possesses comLi-
nation of qualities for the post he fills that
the Ninth district had better keep him as
long as it can.-hl. Joar.
From the expressions we heard at Indi-
annapolis on the 4th, from the delegates in
attendance from this District, we regard it
as a settled matter that Mr. Colfax will be
almost unanimously nominated for rc-clec-
ton. The people Of the 9th district have
just cause to be proud of their representa-
tive in Congress, and will command his
services for at least one more term.

soldiers of 1912 and the Indian Wars Of
that period
The attendance was large, rather more
being In attendance than were present on
the Sth of January. The appearance Of
the convention was venerable The silver
hairs of those present gave evidence that
! the men assembled had "come down to us
| from former generation" The old de-
tenders of the frontier "fought their battles
Ger again" in recounting their adven-
lures. and dwelling upon the scenes of the
Second War Of Independence.
During the absence of the committee
several of the old vectrans entertained the
meeting with their experience in the cam
paigns on the Maumec, at Detroit, at Tip
pecanoe, at Sackett's Harbor, on the Riv-
er Raisin, and on other fields of action.
The committee on organization made the
following report:
We, the Undersigned, committee ap-
pointed to nominate officers for the Con-
vcntion Of the Soldiers of the War of
1912, have discharged that duty by nom
mating Gen. Robert Hanna, of Marion
county, President protein, b. ID. Jones of
Marion county, Ok. Benkly and Charles
A. Naylor, of Tippccanoe county, Secreta-
ries OF said Convention.

on the table.
After some other business, rather unim.
portant, the meeting adjourned until l.
clock.

We, the undersigned, a committee, ap-

Indian war of 1911, and the.war of lSl2
against Great Britain, have discharged the
duty assigned us by the Convention assem-
bled at the State House, in Indianapolis,
on the 4th day of March, 1858, by prepar-
ing and submitting the following resolu-
tions, for adoption 10y the said Convention:
WHEREAS, The attention of the generous
and patriotic citizens of the United States
has been recently directed to the import
ance of dischsrging duty, long withheld
from the veterans of the late war with
I Great Britain and the Indian wars of that
period; and whereas we, few Of the sur
vivors OF. those who rallied around our
rcountry's Gag, and perilied our lives on
the battle fields of America in defense OF
the sacred rights of freemen, grateful to
Almighty God. -who, has enabled our coun-
try not only to be Just but generous in our
behalf, therefore
Resoleed, That wo disclaim noao and at
all times The imputation of being mendi-
can is or objects of National charity; but
believe it to be the bounden duty of our
country, now in State Of unparalleled
greatness and prosperity, to express by
legislative enactment its appreciation of
our former services. aisse.t

grcss of the United States. to provide by
pension, or otherwise for those who fought
the battles of the war Of 1912, against
Great Britain and her savage allies. ,i
Resolred,. That the Congress of the Uni
ted States in granting our request, will do
much to falsify the charge that Republics
are ungrateful to their citizens.
Resofred, That we recommend mass
meetings in other States Of the Union,
by the surviving soldiers of the War
Of 1912. and the Indian Wars of that peri
od, similar to our own, and for similar
purposes.
Resoipsd That we defended our glorious
Union in the Wsr Of 1912. in the days of
our youth. and that we will still defend it

The Convention.

.
The Wcstvillc Herald speaking of the
Convention of the 18th and its work, says:
The Platform, adopted with but two dis
scnting votes, will be found in another col
umn. 1t has the true National ring about
it, ami will certainly be found a popular
one TO fight on during the present canvass.
1t is broad enough for all to stand on who
are opposed to the Lccompton policy, and
no Republican can find word or idea that
blinks towards back down from the position
he took two years ago. Also, the names
of the candi'lates nominated, will be found
at our mast head to o-day, and will wave
there till October, and we are prepared to
chronicle their triumphant election.
The vinccnncs Gazette seems to be pleas
ed with che action of the Convention, and
gives its best efforts to the success-of the
ticket. ~
The Madison Courier says of it:
We have attended many State Conven-
tions, large and enthusiastic meetings; the
assembly at indianapolis on Thursday was
one of the largest, but it was not noisy
meeting. The Importance of the issue now
being tried between The Federal Admins
tration of James Buchanan and the People
absorbed all the minor feelings; even the
Offices which it was known the convention
would nominate candidates to fill were neg
lected. There were no noisy placcmen,
drilled as exactly as a division of the reg
ular Army, to move at the word and shout
at given signal; but there was fixed
ness of purpose evinced by every move
ment of the vast crowd, never seen in any
former gathering of the opposition to the
dominant party. 81 -
The ticket presented is an admirable one;
the very best men have been selected-men
who came up backed by their immediate
neighbors as honest and capable. Is he
honest? is he capable? were the only aues-
tions asked. After inquiring diligently a.
mong tho members-not among the friends
of the successful candidates, but among the
friends of the unsuccessful, we havearrised
at the conclusion that the ticket in to-day's
paper is the strongest and best ever pre-
sented to tie voters of Indiana since the
writer has been . resident: of the State 8
