INDIANAPOLIS, March 15.--The Democratic
State Convention to-day nominated candidates
for Secretary, Auditor, and Treasurer Of the
State, and Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The first resolution passed by this body denies
the right of secession; the second approves the
reconstruction principles aYowed ia Presideht
Johnson's annual message, and solemnly con-
demns the action Of the majority in Congress,
cordially endorses the veto, and pledges to the
President the earnest, disinterested support Of
the Indiana Democracy, in all his conflicts with
that tanatical Congressional majority. The
third resolution believes that the sole power
Of Congress over the admission of members
is confined to their election returns and qualid-
cations; that it has usurped power by excluding
representatives from eleven States acknowledged
to be ia the Union, by having their voices
counted in favor of the Constitutional Amend
ment; that the elected members from the South
ern States are consttudOnally qualified, and
should be immediately admitted; and upon the
refusal of Congress, it is the preTogatIve and
duty of the President to defend and uphold the
integrity of every State now in the Union, and
to take care that the laws are faithfully executed
The fourth resolution inRexbly opposes prohi-
bitory and protective tariff. The fifth declares
that taxation and representation should go to-
gether, and that Government bonds should
be taxed. The sixth repudiates the, Rebel.

demands the equalization of bounties. The
eighth pledges support, regardless Of party
afiliation, to any State or National Off.
cial guided by the principles avowed IN these
resolutions. The ninth denounces the comforting
Of suffrage on the negroes in the District of
Columbia. The tenth opposes the repeal
Of the Constitutional article prohibiting
negroes and mulattoes from setting in
the State OF Indiana. The eleventh encourages
emigration. The twelfth declares that eight
hours should be legal days work. The thir-
teenth favors religious liberation. The four
teenth sternly condemns the immense financial
and otker frauds OF the Abolition State and
Federal Governments, The fifteenth pledges
the party to oppose all prohbitory liquor and
Sunday laws. The sixteenth denounces ths e&'
expulsion Of Voorhees, as a high-handed outrage
by prodigate and unscrupulous party.

A Fenian Ceuntor ProcIamatIon,
