National Democratic State Conven-
rf0n.

! National Democratic State ConVeh-
tion.
/ By the indianapolis papers of yesterday
morning we find that the Breckenridge and
| Lane movement, that we noticed yesterday
as being on foot at indianapolis, has attain
ed proportions formidable and frightful for
the DougIasites. Jesse D. Bright, the King
of Democracy in this State, has not been at
work in vain, as will be seen by what we
shall present herein. King Jesse does not
/ sag much, but he keeps up terrible think
ing and working on the sly. The eonse-
quence inNthis case is, the Inauguration of
a movement that will be likely to pat
Douglas to rout so far as the genuineness OF
the two factions is concerned.
In the Sentinel there is a call for county
mass convention, to be held at the Court
House, Indianapolis, onSaturday, July 4th.
The call is addressed to {" all Democrats Of
Marion county friendly to the election OF
Breckenridge and Lane, and the purpose is
declared to be to organize the party in the
county and State. The call is published as
an advertisement by the Sentinel, and not
one word of editorial notice appears i'll that
paper in regard to the meeting. The call is
signed by 100 of the prominent and ortho-
dox Democrats of the county, amongst
whom are Judge James Morrison, John W.
Hamilton, John H. McRea, Thomas D. Wal
pole, Edwin May, DR.. L. Dunlap,S. D. Tom
linson, J. NJ. Tomlinson, Julius Nicolai,
Kilby Ferguson, John NJ. Talbot, Percy
Hosbrook, James Johnson, John R. Elder,
John Cain, S. Barbour, N. Hayden, and S.
Klngensmith.
The Journal contains something further
in regard to this movement, which the Sen
tilleJ dare not publish. 1t is regular call
for State Mass Convention of the " Ma
tional Democracy" to be held at Indianap-
oils on the 3Ist of July. Here it is:
A Mass State Convention of the friends of
Breckenridge and Lane will be held at Ia
dianapolis on Tuesday, July 81, 1860, to
ratify the nomination of these patriots and
statesmen as the standard bearers of the
National Democracy.
Gen. Joseph Lane, Gov. L. W. Powell,
Hon. J. D. Bright, and Hon. G.. n. Fitch
Will IJOoIblNtIy bO PACSCLO t@AN ANhS1S NAAN
Democracy on the occasion.
Also, Delana Il. Eckles, W. F. Sherrod,
Jeptha D. New, B. II. Myers James Brad
ley, a. B. Carlton, B. f. Mullen, and others.
Let the sterling and true Democracy of
every county in the State be fully repre-
sented.
We publish it, knowing it will never see
the light in the columns of the Enquirer.
The above and the county call were issued
from the Locomotive Office in large "poster'
form The Locomotive office is the rival of
the. Sentinel Office in its Democracy. Its
editor is Mr. John r. Elder chairman of
the last Democratic State Central Commit
tee. He is acting in the same capacity in
the Breckenridge and Lane organization.
There is no child's play in this matter,
1t means g war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt," against the DougIastes.
We predict that the movement will be
seconded here. Old and experienced Demo-
crats-those who refused to be caught with
Douglas chaff-know well which will be the
regular, genuine, orthodox Democratic party
and will act accordingly. They will go
with the Breckenridge and Lane party,
knowing that Douglas and johnson have not
the remotest prospect of an election, either
by the people or by Congress if it goes to
that body and knowing, too, that if
Lincoln and Hamlin fail to be elected by
the people, and the election goes into Con-
gress, the Breckinridge and Lane ticket
does stand some chance of success. In
which case, wo unto the Douglas rebels,
and " fat offices to the faithful National
Democrats
