DRMoCRATIc STATE COSvENTIOS.-This body
has met, acted and each delegate returned to his
home. Its proceedings will be found toleraby
full on our first page. The Convention per
haps the largest delegated body ever assembled
in the State. Ii made up of the solid and
conservative men of the party. Its action, as set
forth in the published proceedings, is clear, ex
plicit and satisfactory to every Democrat. so far
as we have heard an expression. The platform
adopted suits US admirably, and upon it we can
go into the canvass with an assurance of success
We congratulate the Democracy of the State up
on the success which attended the deliberations
of the Convention. 1t argurs well for a Demo
cratic victory in OctOber.-FraRkiiR Dem.


RESOLUTIONS OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
We publish to day the resolutions adopted by
the Democratic Convention held on the Sth of
January. We can not see any fault that Dem
ocrat can find with them.


There appears 10 be disposition on the part
of some of the Douglas papers to find fault with
the action of the Convention. They denounce
the Convention Bright concern &c. In ma
king this charge, they show one of two things,
that they are either very ignorant or very dishon
est; tor every man put in nomination supported
Douglas. Now if the Convention had been a
Bright affair, would they have taken all the can
didates from the Douglas ranks?


The object of the Convention was to reunte
patty me OOnNeu-
tion very properly left Bright and Wright to take
care of themselves, and made ticket that both
wings of the party can unite upon.-Orange Co.

The eth of January, 1862, was proud day
for the Democracy of Indiana. Never was there
a Convention assembled in any State upon which
devOlved much responsibility-of which so
much was expected; and nobly did il meet the an
tcipations of the people The cry had gone forth
previous to its assembling that it to be held
for the purpose of giving aid and comfort to the
enemy; and every effort made TO deter DEM
ocrats from attending, and to render it odous in
the estimation of the people. The result shows
how futile is all opposition when the Democracy
are fully aroused; it is admitted fact that the
Convention was the largest the most intelligent
and the most dignified and patriotic body of men
ever assembled in this or any of the Western
States. 1t was composed of the best and most
intelligent men of the State which fact of ITSELF
is sufficient to silence the calumny which the Alb
olitionists urged against it, that it called by
clique, and was to be controlled by only por-
ton of the Democracy of the State.


The result of the Convention is most crafty
ing. The ticket is unexceptionable. 1t is COM
posed of gentlemen we'll known throughout the
State, and against whom nothing can be said.
They possess in eminent degree the Jefferso
man qualifications of honesty and capability.-

THE STATE CONVENTION. - The Democratic
State Convention which assembled at Indianapo-
lis on the 9Th inst rs said to have been the larg
est one of any party that ever assembled at the
Capital Every county in the State, with FIVE
exceptions, fully represented. The proceed
ings were harmonious, the speeches able, and the
resolutions, in the main, all that any reasonable
politician could ask or expect. The resolutions
we publish on our first page, and ask for them a
careful and unprejudced reading. They are en-
inently conservative and patriotic and must find
man in the State. The nominees are Just the
right men for the right places.


Although the Press is not strictly political or
party paper. we raise the ticket at our editorial
head where it shall remain until victory perches
upon the Democratic banner on the evening of the
second Tuesday of October next.-iStarke County
Press.


THE STATE CoNvENTIoN-In to day s paper will
be found synopsis of the proceedings of the re-
cent Democratic State Convention. The Con-
ventiOn to say the least, was decided success.
Its deliberations were characterized by a degree
of enthusiasm and unanimity unparalleled. The
delegates reflected but the voice of the people,
who are determined that change of policy is
imperitively demanded, and that speedily, or the
utter ruin of the country is inevitable The plat
form is broad enough for all true patriots of the
country to stand and strive upon. The ticket
nominated is good one and unexceptionable in
any particular. We shall have more to say of
the men composing the ticket in future number.
