Year: 1862

The Ledger further says, which ought TO be
satisfactory TO il:


"The central clique who called the Conven
ton in the hope of being able to control the
nominations for themselves have been sadly dis
appointed. The Breckinridge faction, who, after
destroying the unity Of The Democratic party, and
declaring that the election of Lincoln prefer
able to that of Douglas, had the impudence TO
ask the Democracy OF Ineiana to give them the
most imports t Offices. left out in the cold.
Having fails to get the nominations we shalt
now see the extent of their love for the Demo
cratic organization about which they have
prated so much"


1t appears that the editor of the LEDGER is not
satisfied with the nominations because some
Breckinridge man was not put on the ticket, and
because of the great unanmity existing in the
Democratic party throughout the entire State.
We would like 10 know what sense there would
have been in meeting in Convention and making
a platform and then postpone the nomination of
candidates. Such course was never heard tell
of in Democratic Convention before.


Is And Col. Durham, whose regiment is al
ready at the seat of war, he wanted nominations
postponed for few months But it wouldn't do;
nor was he permitted to say few words in behalf
of the army and the war--EransuiHe Jour


Col Dunham did speak. He was the last man
that uttered a word in the Convention. In the
last sentence of his speech were these words:


"That he believed as much as he believed that
he had existence in the world, that if this Gov
ernment was ever reunited again to its once proud
and lofty position among the nations of the earth,
that it had to be done by thegood old Democrat
ic party" Which Is the true sentiments of nine
tenths Of all the people now in the loyal States.


The Charlottesville Reriero says:


In this weeks issue we hoist the names of the
-
ton held at indianapolis on the Sth We presume
every Democrat and conservative man in the
State is anxious that the ticket should triumph,
and right here we wish to impress upon the minds
of many Of our old line friends in this county, as
well as throughout tie Stlte, that to insure sue
cess we must have harmony. The practice of
denouncng every Democrat whose ideas concern-
ing the rebellion do not square exactly with his
neighbors's, must cease, or we shall be divided
and ignominiously defeated. 1t is fact that all
Democrats do not agree in regard to the many
issues that have grown out of this lamentable
civil war; but in the great cardinal principles of
the party there is no disagreement whatever


We believe, in common with every teue Dem
ocrat, in using every effort to crush out this
damnable conspiracy, and under no circumstance
will we ever consent to a dismemberment of the
Republic. With the restoration of the Demo-
cratic party to power we are sanguine that the
nation will yet survive the tempest that is upon
her and again restore the Union of tie States.
The influence of the conservative elemers of the
country is making itself felt upon the present
Administration. Cameron, the advocate Of arm
ing the negroes, has been dismissed from the
Presidents Cabinet, and Mr. Stanton, Attorney
General under Mr. Buchanan's regime, called to
fill the position of the Secretary of War By this
act President Lincoln shows to the country that
he has at last awakened TO the danger of Abo-
litionism, and that he is now convinced of the
truth of Democratic principles being the only
remedy for the salvation of the country.
