For the Democrat
DEuGCks ATTIC STATE CssNyRsN-
FEOy.

Among the many gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in connection
with nominations at the coming conven-
ton, none has seemed more fitting than
that of Judge a. b. Carleton, of Law
renee county, for the office of secretary of
state.
Judge Carleton needs but little intro
duction to the people of Indiana, unless it
be in the extreme northern portion of the
state. In the southern and middle dis
tricts he has been long and favorably
known as one of TIE ablest AMI most dis
tinguished men of our party An able
jurist, a profound thinker, and an clio.
quent speaker, he has for years stood in
the foremost rank of prominent demo.
Gratis of the state.
His steady adherence to the impcrish
able principles of democracy in the dark
est periods OF its history, entities him t.
the gratitude of democrats everywhere
When others faltered, he was faithful
When the storms of fanaticism were
fiercest. and the tide Of prescription raj
highest, Judge Carleton stood up man
fully for the right, while the voice o
denunciation on his part was never hushet
against the base usurpers, who were seek
ing to destroy our constitutional fabric o
government.
Judge Carleton has never been al
ofiice-seeker He has always been con
tent to labor jealousy for the best interest
of the party, without seeking after il;
emolumepts; for this very reason he i
entitled to greater consideration by tn
convention.
If lie will consent to leave an EXTENSIVE
and lucrative practice. and become one o
the standard bearers of the democracy il
the approaching important campaign, n
man could do us better service, and n
man could fill with more distinction tn
office to which he will assuredly be electe
If nominated.
Let Judge Carleton be made secretar
Of state. DEMOCRAT.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1867-12-12

\ gentleman claiming to be a democrat
recently said to us that if we could assure
him that our paper would be " so-and-so,"
he would subscribe. We are not of that
class Of democrats who think it cunning
thing, or one that rebounds to the credit
of any one, to be mistaken by republicans
as belonging to their party. That kind of
democracy does not suit us, and we are
safe IN saying that it has few sympathizers
in this or any other locality. The time
for shiily-shally;ng has past, and these
who think to curry favor with both par
ties by sitting astride the fence, sgood
lord, good devil" may succeed for while,
but they will in due time be found out,
and so quietly and eflectually dropped as
to somewhat astonish them.
If Il man prctends to be a democrat,
let him be one; if republican, let him
be that = whatever he is let he him be
SO decided in his opinions that all shall
know just where lie stands. We purpose
publishing a democratic paper. If any
one does not like that kind of paper. we
know of no law compelling him to take it.
That an editor, be he on what side
he may, should be counseled to edit a pa
per of character SO lukcwarm that no
one can tell where he pins his faith, is
simply absurd. There are neutral papers
enough in this country to accommodate all
such doubling souls, and consequently we
hope to be permitted to publish the DEM
OcRAT in such q manner as to merit the
appreciation of men whose democracy
gives forth no uncertain sound.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1867-12-12

IT is generally conceded that Hon. /.
A. HENDRICKs, at present United States
Senator from Indiana, will be the next
candidate for the Office Of gov
ernOr of the state. There was no doubt
at any time but that he was the first
choice of the Indiana democracy for their
standard bearer in the next gubcrnatorial
canvass but it was not known until re-
Gently that he would accept the nomina-
ton. With HENDRICKS for our standard
bearer, the democrats Of Indiana will en-
ter the next campaign with every assu-
rance of victorious result Possessing
all the elements Of a statesman, a clear
democratic record, and a well-earned rep
utation as public speaker, he will arouse
such an enthusiasm IN the breasts of the
invincible democracy of Indiana as will
sweep away every vestig9 of opposition.
The ISLANDERS which radicalism Eliminates
against those opposed to them, will fall
harmless when directed against Mr. HEN
BRICKS. The people know him-have
trusted him-and are but waiting the op-
portunity to trust him again.

Hon. ROBERT j. WALKER, who was
president Folks Secretary of the Treas
ury, has written lengthy letter to the
American people on the financial situation.
He proposes that the government make a
foreign loan Of two hundred and fifty mil
lions in gold, and Immediately resume
specie payment in other words, he propo-
ses that We borrow of PAUL to pay PETER,
and thus get out of debt. This financial
scheme would rebound more to the credit
of its author if the gold could be obtain
ed, and would never have to be repaid.
The people-the tax payers-have al
ready expressed themselves in favor of 4
scheme for tightening the burthens of
taxation. by paying off the national debt
in the established currency of the coun-
try. Probably nne-tenths of the bonded
debt OF the government is owned by aris.
tocratic nabobs, who paid no gold for their
bonds, and deserve none in return The
people will not permit the adoption of any
scheme which has for its object the pla
cling more gold in the hands of the rich
and less in the possession of the poorer
people.

Our CANDIDATES The democratic
papers of the state are pretty generally
favorable to the denomination of the same
ticket for state officers as that which was
selected by the state convention last year.
Indeed it would be difficult to find gentle
men of more energy or greater ability than
those which constituted the ticket in 1866.
Still, there are equally as able, energetic
and popular men in the party whose
friends arc pressing their claims with firm
ness and confidence. So far as we are
concerned, We would not have the ticket
precisely as it was last year The distin-
guished services rendered the party in the
great struggle in 1866, by our eminent
fellow-citizen, Hon John II. Coflroth-
struggling against hope yet undauntingly
carrying the banner of democracy defiant
ly aloft, even into the jaws of death; .
sacrificing his comfort and his means, and
ever occupying the foreground in the con-
flict-cntille him to the highest position
on the ticket. But as the universal de
sire is to have Hon. Il. A. Hendricks in
that place, the friends of Mr.. Cofiroth
will ask of the convention the second po-
sition on the ticket-lieutenant governor.
The democracy Of Indiana are familiar
with the history Of Mr. Conroth as a law
yer and legislator, and as public speak
or he has few equals in the state.--Er.

Now, that political matters have taken
change, and the radical and intolerant
party which Las been ruling and running
the country for some years past, is about
to be displaced, and the old constitutional
and conservative party, that formed and
nurtured it, and made it all that it was
before il was prosttuted and debased by
abolitlonism, fanaticism and mongrelism,
Is going to be reinstated, it may not be
considered out Of place to say few words
as to the future course of the democratic
party, when it shall have come into power,
for the benefit of the poor miserable spies
and tools Of the most tyranical and des-
potic administration that has ever cursed
our government We refer to those low
lived, cowardly individuals, who made it
their business TO hunt down and capture
men who cOnscientiously believed it wrong
to go into and assist in carrying on a war
that was prosecuted for the purpose of
giving freedom and political equality to
an inferior and brutal race of beings
and who were not content with hunting
and spying around for men, but entered
houses occupied only by helpless women
and children, and demanded information
of them that they could not give, and
threatening to shoot them if they did not
comply with their requests. AL. who
know anything of them at all, know they
are, of all human beings, The most con-
temptible; yet, contemplate as they are,
they have some rights that will not be in
iringed upon by democrats.
They need not be afraid Of being over
powered, at the hour of midnight, by ten
or fifteen democrats-a rope put about
their necks, and marched off to the nearast
limb or lamp and there made TO
swear allegiance to the democratic creed
or hang.
They need not be afraid to 90 from

themselves democrats, will break in their
doors, search their houses, and threaten
violence to their wives and children. as
some unmanly and pusillanimous persons
did do, in this county and elsewhere, du.

They can go to their houses at night
and sit down with their families, without
having any democrat peaking around and
watching them through the window OIL

mltted to go a. and mind their OWL
business, and viii. t only be let alone
but will be protee N their persons ant

this manner, by democrats, we would no
have them believe for a moment that i

which any decent, honorable man has il
them, for such is not the case. If they
will stop and consider for few moments
and see how differently they are treated
by the more respectable portion of theil

rect idea as to their real standing in so
ciety.

IT is noteworthy fact that radicalism
can see much to condemn in anything in
which democrats are concerned, while
praticing profound ignorance of any
thing going wrong when its own party are
the sole tors. An exemplficaton Of this
truth may be found in the fact that a rad
ical journal, published not many miles
from this town, found space recently to
vent it's pent-up wrath at the town au-
thorities because drunken (white) man
made his way into two or three houses in
the town, and frightened the inmates, but
doing no further damage; yet this same
radical journal has not a word of indigna-
ton or comment on the atrocious crime
committed on defenceless women 10 an
county, by member of its own
party. If it should be conceded that radical
excavations are to any extent unpleasant
to those upon whom they are inflicted, the
advantage which the nations wards :"
possess over the "whitc trash" is pain
fully manifest.

Let Reason be Heard.

No people under Heaven were ever
more loudly and urgently called upon by
the perils of their situation to govern their
action by reason and prudence than the
American people at the present time. On
every side is danger, and worst of all,
blind partisanship does not see and real
ize it. The public mind has been piled
with falsehood and misrepresentation un-
til it has been made mad, and hate and
prejudice, taking the reins from justice
aud reason, have driven us well nigh to
destruction. What is wanted to extricato
us from our perilous situation and secure
our safety is, to u2deceive the people, and
bring them to see that they have been mis-
led by inhammatory appeals to their pas
sions, and that justice, magnanimity and
mercy are not only in themselves No.
bic above everything else, but can alone
lead to unity, prosperity and happiness.
The light of truth must be thrown into
the darkness Of error and prejudice, and to
this work every democratic journal should
devote all its space and all its energies
for the next twelve months. Our people,
honest but impulsivc, have been led away
by excitement, and brouSh, to the very
verge of ruin by false teaching. They
only need to be made to see this-and
thank God, they are seeing it's to make
short work Of their deceivers and bctray-
ers, as they have been doing in the recent
elections. Let the voice of reason be
heard, then, throughout the land, calling
upon the people to pause, examine and
candidly investigate the momentous issues
involved in the issue of 1868. The pros
pect is encouraging, and every arm should
feel strong and every heart courageous
The sunlight is already breaking the dark
