Ter and Grimes, the Democratic strength
against conviction was increased TO nine

Republican National Convention,

The Republican National Convention
held 1t Chicago on the goth and 2lst
inst. marks an epoch in the history Of this
country. 1t had been looked to with deep
interest aud ardent hope by all true lovers
Of popular liberty, while its opponents
predicted results detrimental to Republic
can success. All parts of the great Re-
public we're represented; every State,
Territory and the District of Columbia
were admitted to the great council, and
the result was grand triumph and perfect
success. The utmost harmony prevailed
amidst spirit of mutual concession and
'forbearance on the part Of all delegates,
and General u. ). Grant. the great chief
tain Of the age, was declared the uuani'
nous choice of the men who had saved
the nation, as the Executive to preserve
and administer II for the next four years.
The choice for Vice President was awar.
ded TO our own State Of Indiana in the
person of Schuyler Colfax.
II was we'll said by the Cincinnati Com
merciai that the nominations we're judi
cious in many things. and especially in
location, ss Grant was born in the West
aud resides East, while Colfax was born IN
the East and resides West. We Of In.-
diana may we'll feel proud Of the result, as
II doubtless secures to US too loyal Repub-
lican u. 8. Senators and the presiding
officer Of the u. 8. Senate after the 4th of
March next With Grant and Colfax,
Indiana is certain to lead of in November
with ten thousand Republican majority.
The platform, which we give in our
columns this week, Is worthy Of, and rep
resents the wisdom and sagacity of the
assembled party. In spirit and substance
il IL the same as that adopted by our State
Convention, and merits, as it will receive,
the cordial aud unanimous approval Of the
country.
In short, the Convention made no mis-
takes. II vas grand success in the choice
ofcandidates, and the avowal Of principles
end measures, upon the success Of which
depends the future happiness and per-
insnency Of tie Republic.

The Concert of the Mt Sterling
Silver Band last Thursday night,
was pretty well attended, consider
ing the unfavorable circumstances
under which the entertainment was
given. The District Sabbath School
Association, being in session at
the M. E. Church on that evening,
kept number away from the con-
cert who would otherwise have
been present. The band plays well
for the practice they have had, and
we should like to have seen a better
patronage extended to them.
