Prov homeward The excursionists re-em-
barked, and on leaving for home, gave re-
peated cheers for the Republicans of War
rick county, for the ladies of Milersburgh,
and for old Abe Lincoln. Music from the
band gave the signal for starting, and the
merry crowd on board proceeded to dispose
of themselves for the night. At dawn they
reached home, tired, but well satisfied with
their days work and days pleasure.
4 Bell and Everett Electoral Ticket
Formed.
Yesterday (the 15th) was the day for the
adjourned Bell and Everett State Conven-
ton at Indianapolis. The Convention, as
we learn from the State Sentinel of Wednes-
day morning, was to have met in Metropol
itan Hall at / o'clock We expected to
have received the proceedings by telegraph
last evening, but were disappointed. This
we regret very much, on account of our
Bell and Everett readers. The following
private dispatch, which we have been al
lowed to copy, came through in the after
noon, addressed to Messrs. James E. Blyth
and Lewis Howes, from Mr. Thomas T.
Garvin.
"Union Convention largely attended A
full electoral ticket formed. Richard w.
Thompson is entirely with US. Great en-
thusiasm."
Our Bell and Everett friends were of
course much elated over the result of their
Convention. They, Immediately on the re-
ceipt of the news, fred thirty-three rounds
and chung out their banner on the outer
WALL at the corner of Water and Locust
streets. Capt. Dunbar, of the gun squad,
who few nights ago joined the Douglas
Club, is now an enthusiastic Rell man, since
be has a ticket of his own to vote for.
We are assured that all the Bell men who
joined the Squatters and over whom the
Enquirer made such fuss, have Withdrawn
from that organization and returned to their
first love. They Joined with proUiso, and
are now themselves again.
The Fillmore men who Joined the Wide
Awakes and Lincoln Club are we'll salts

aud remain with it to do duty in the cause
that is destined to prevail in this country
for at least the next four years. These cir
cumstances are the first noticeable results of
the formation of a Bell-Everett electoral
ticket.
All the Bell men whom the Squatters
have been boasting on-like counting
chickens before they are hatched have
turned home. Some Of them, who have
been quite useful as Douglas men, will now
be warm anti Douglas men. We congrat-
ulate them on their escape from the !" Slough
of Despond." They have made narrow
escape, truly.
The Louisville journal of Tuesday morn
ing urged the Union men of Louisville
warmly to 90 up to Indianapolis to the
Convention The price on the excursion
train was only 81 for a distance of 220
miles a large number must have gone,
for we learn that kentuckians were numer-
Gus at indianapolis. 1t is said that they

formation of a ticket.
So far as this ticket is concerned, its in
road on the Republican and Democratic
ranks will be about equal. Besides the Bell
counting, who are now lost to them, there
is q class of Democrats who, sick and tired
of the corruption and disorganization OF
their party, and prevented by absurd preju-
dice from joining the Republicans, will pro-
badly join the Bell party rather than to re-
frain from voting. Nine out of ten Fillmore
men in Indiana have already Joined the Re-
publican party, and hundreds will come in
yet at the eleventh hour when they find
that they are not supporting Bell and Ev-
erett by voting for their ticket, but Jo
Lane.
Mr.. Bells friends say they want to ''yote
their sentiments. We honor any mans
conscientious convictions, as we cherish our
own, and have no doubt that the Bell men,
as a general rule, believe they are doing
right in voting their own ticket. No man
can qutslIoh tHe MolINeS OI any except
few leaders; the great majority mean to do
right. But we have shown on several oc-
casions that votes cast for Bell and Everett
only assist to make 10. Lane acting Presi-
dent, and our position has not been contro-
verted, AS the canvass progresses, and
events transpire, and new facts develop
themselves. we expect TO demonstrate this
proposition to the satisfaction of all who are
open to conviction.
