The attendance was unusually large, showing
that the people still maintain undimin'sheti
confidence in the Democratic party and thai All
application of its broad national principles is e.
sential to the settlement of existing troubles and
the harmony of the nation.
We were OF those who questioned the expedi-

the truth of the fundamental principle of Democ-
racy that the people always right, however

THE CoNvENTIoN-TH TICKET We this week
lay before our readers a synopsis of the proceed
ngs of the Democratic Union State Convention,
held at indianapolis on the 9Th inst, and hoist
the ticket then and there nominated, and com
mend it to the Democracy of Shelby county as
one in every respect worthy of their confidence
and suffrage.
The men composing it are in every respect well
upon them in the positions for which they have
been selected-are of irreproachable integrity,
and their LOYALTY TO the Constitution and the
Union unquestiohable, neither having counte
nanced the fell hercsy of sectionalism, or for a
moment entertained the absurd theory that one
section was better than or superior To the other.
IT the people OF Indiana wish gentemanly, com
petent and reliable officers, representing correct.
patriotic and beneficial principles, this ticket viii
be elected by majority never before equalled in
the State-and we confdentally predict that such
will be the result.
Every county in the State but five repre-
scented in the Conversion. the delegates being
4 composed of the ablest and most reliable men in
the State, many of them substantial farmers and
active business men who had never before taken
an acfIye part in politics, but they felt the hour
had come when every man should put forth his
might to sustain his country in it, dark and try
ing hour, when its authority was defed and It's
very existence threatened by traitors on the one
side, and its energies paralized, and its life blood
being exhausted by imbeciles and plunderers in
the guse of friends at home. The deliberations
of the Convention were characterized by de-
gree of harmony and unanimity never before wt
messed in so large a body and the enthusiasm
was unbounded The platform as adopted speaks
for itsef-SheibV Volunteer.
