Democratic state Convention--Opin-
ions OF the Press.

+ The Democratic State Convention which as
sembled at indianapolis was largely attended.
and was enthusiastic and harmonious throughout.
The Hon. T. A. Hendricks was President, and
made able and eloquent speech The ticket
nominated IS uncomfortable. Better men can
not be found, and We place their names at the
head of our columns this week in the confident
belief that the people, weary of the Republican
misrule which has already brought our beloved
country to the verge of destruction, will triumph
antly elect them in October next-Morqan

The DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION The
convention at Indianapolis on the 9Th inst was
well attended and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
hopes and predictions of the Ab0tiOnsts that il
would break up in row. The nominations are
good and true men, and the resolutions manifest
spirit OF true patriotism. The l0th resolution
declares in favor Of a for the maintenance of
the Union. but not for emancipation or subiuga
ton. This IS, perhaps, as near correct as practi-
cable in convention whose delegates were so
much divided upon this point. Ii il were
possible to reconstruct the Union 10y war
and by no other means, il would be proper to
wage war for that purpose; but We have had
and continue to have, strong doubts OF the sue
cess or good policy of war, even for That pur
pose. Moreover. the evidence IS sufficient that
this is an Abolition crusade, and was 80 intended
from the first The South was willing to settle
the matter peaceably, but the North would hear
to nothing but war, thinking that the time had
come to carry out the long established abolition
theory This IS abundantly proven by the vote
on Holman's resolution in Congress, the speeches
of Conway and Loveoy the resolutions OF Abo-
ition members, and by the efforts which Con
gress and the Cabinet are marking in various
WAYS to turn the war into an emancipation
scheme Blackboard County Democrat
The STATE CoNvENrIoN.-W had not the
pleasure OF being present at the State Conven
ton ut indianapolis on the 9Th inst, bat have
been informed that it the largest and most
harmonious delegate convention ever held in the
State. The Convention was composed of middle
AGED and old gray headed veterans, who had
sembed nj the Capital of their State to LOOK
after their c0untFys interest, actuatei alone by a
desire to rescue IL from the hands OF those, who,
from heir corruption. imbecility and lack of adj
illustrative ability. are now Letting it slide, "
ami restore it TO harmony again, that they might
transmit it TO posterity pure and untarnished
as received il from our fathers.
In the Convention there was neither Wright
nor Bright Douglas nor Breckenridge, nothing
but our country. our bleeding country, and how
can we save it from ruin.
The Republicans howl But let them howl.
They have sown the wind and our country is now
retping the whirlwind. Democrats must force
order out of confusion Delphi Times.
The PLATFoRM-Th recent Democratic State
convention adopted a platform that cannot tail
OF being indorsed by every man who has the
welfare of the country at heart. We are proud
OF il. 1t is a reiteration of the principles for
which the party has battled so manfully hereto
fore. Any one protesting to be Democrat VINO
fails to mount this platform with alacrity aud
signify his determination to stand firmly there is
not nor never was true Democrat. and deserves
to be kicked beyond the fold OF the party. and
doomed to wander in the gloomy darkness OF
Black Republicanism the balance of his days,
where weeping and waing and gnashng of
teeth" will be the most pleasant sounds he may
hear.
We place at our mast head the Democratic
Union State ticket To be voted for at the next
October election. 1t is composed of as good
men as the State can prOduce--men eminently
worthy of being the standard bearers of the gal
liant Democracy in the coming contest. That
they will be triumphantly elected, there is not
even shadow of doubt.-Btaffon Banner.
