The Convention of February 22d.

That the ticket adopted BY this con

Oliver Z. Morton seems TO he univ crsally
conceded. No man in this State Is 50
capable Of leading the loyal men of the
country 70 the support Of the Govern
ment. No man is more able. more de
termined, or more patriotic. Every friend
of his country will rally to his support,
and every rebel sympathizer Will feel
douhly contemplate at his triumph.
Not only has Gov Morton proven him
self equal to the great emergency caused
hy the rebellion. but as an executive and
financial officer he has shown distinguish
ed ability How he has rallied the loyal
people of Indiana to the support Of the
Government in its hour of peril the whole
world knows-how he defeated the com
