From the Warriok Hersld.l
We are satisfied that there is not a
single Republican IN this county who
IS disposed to find fault with the
action Of the District Convention,
which, on the 18th inst. nominated
the gallant soldier, and lifelong Re-
publican, General James Z. Veatch,
as its candidate for Representative in
the XII Congress of the United
States. General Veatch is too well
and faVorably known throughout the
country, and especially in the ''Pock-
ct of Indiana, to require any special
mention of the invaluable services he
has rendered to his country, of his
character az an able lawyer, or Of his
integrity as a correct gentleman.
These things are thoroughly under
stood and admitted The name of
General James G. Veatch adds
tower of strength to the cause of JUS
tice and Humanity in this District,
and his election, with proper, active
and determined effort on the part of
his political friends, is easy of accom-
plishment. Our 245 majority on the
vote of 1856 can be doubled if not
thrilled.
From the Princeton Clarion.l
The Republican Congressional Con-
yention which met in lis place last
Thursday was one well calculated to
inspire confidence in the success of
the Republican cause In the First
District Of Indiana next Fall. All

largely represented by delegations of
the best men In them. who seemed to
have a purpose IN common with each
other, viz the overthrow of the Cop
perbead Democracy in the Pocket"
Animated by strong desire to have
this District represented on the side
of loyalty to the Union in the Con-
gress Of the United States, these men
came TO Princeton fully determined
on doing a good days WORK, and the
result was most gratifying. The har-
mony and enthusiasm that character
lied their deliberations were indiea-
tive Of the spirit In which the intelli- |
gence Of their work would be received
by the people, presaging success be |
yond doubt.
Gen. James G. Veatch, the man of
all others most likely to carry the |
District by sweeping majority, was
nominated by reclamation amid great |
The scene that followed |
his nomination was peculiarly grand. |
To see county after county, through |
their respective DELEGATES, responding |
to the nomination with such a una I
nimity of expression, was enough to
satisfy all of the profound regard in |
which the General Is held by the peo- /
pie of this District.
From Spencer County Journal
The nomination of this distinguish |
ed citizen of Spencer as the Repubi- |
can candidate for Congress ia the
First District, by the District Conven-
ton at Princeton, last Thursday, is |
everywhere hailed by Union men with
the greatest enthusiasm We never 1
before saw such unanimity in any
No other name was pre- /
sented and no other thought of, after
il was ascertained that Gen. Veatch 4
would accept the nomination. His I
we'll known ability, his great personal
worth and irreproachable private
character, as well as his glorious
record as a faithful soldier of the
Union during four years of war
against the most causeless and infa-
nous rebellion known to history, point
to him as the proper man in every
way suited to represent a loyal con-
stituency in the counsels of the ma
ton
Let the Union men of Spencer pre-
pare at once for the contest, and the
same vigilance, the same undaunted
courage and perseverance that drove
he rebels to the last ditch will in
sure the triumph of the Union cause
low.
Gen. Veatch needs no introduction
rom us to the people of Spencer
county or the First District. A ma
i've Of our soil and a poor boy, he
truggled through an early life of
lard work, until now, by persever-
.pce and industry, he has risen by
degrees to a proud eminence in the
,stimation Of his fellow citizens.
