OF the ticket we cannot speak in terms Of too
high praise We satisfied with il in every re-
spect. IL is composed of men of marked ability
and high-tOned personal honor They are all
well known to the people Of Indianh. which rem
ders it unnecessary that we should speak of them
individually as this time, but we will do so here
after. When the ticket was announced by the
Convention, it wes acknowledged by the candid
men of all parties to be composed of as good ma
terial as could be found in the State. No better
encomium could be passed upon the ticket than
this. With pride we call upon the people of In
diana TO rally to the support Of our ticket, know
ing full well that their suffrages cannot be given
in favor of better men. Support the ticket placed
before the people on the Sth - January, and you
will give your votes in favor o. the Constitution,
the Union, and the laws.-Lasorenee6urgh Regis

VOICE OF TUE DENocRAcY-We publish today
the principal resolutions adopted by the Indiana
Democracy at indianapolis on the 9Th inst. There
we're five hundred delegates present. and these
resolutions received nearlythe unanimous endorse

dorsed bI a majority of Northern men at the
polls the coming year-Miltcaukee Wisconsin,

The STH OF JANUARY DEMOCRATIC STATE Cox
vENTIoN-The Democratic State Convention
which assembled in indianapolis on the Sth inst,
was largely attended. Every county in the State,
except three or four was fully represented. We
have attended many conventions. but never one
in which better harmony or greater feeling pre-
vailed. Democrats came up from ali portions of
the State determined to forget any former differ
ences that had existed, and to act solely with ref
erence to the best interests of the country in the
present crisis. Much of the space of our paper
TO day is occupied with the proceedings of the
Convention, and we invite an attention and care
full perusal of them by our readers. The speech
of Hon. It. A Hendricks, who presided over the
deliberations of the Convention, was able and ell
oquent, and received the highest commendations
from all Democrats who heard it.


From personal acquaintance, ofseveral years.

on the eth of January, for State officers, we eau

cordially concur with the Sentinel, that the tick

ital on the memorable 9Th of January, 1862, to
nominate candidates for State officers, who will
be elected on the first Tuesday of October next,
and to deliberate upon our national difficulty now
threatening to undermine our grand structure of
free Government. The Convention, we are rek-
ably informed, was the largest and most enthusi-
astic body of American freemen that ever con-
vened together in Indianapolis--the utmost har-
mony pervading its deliberations, though there

different delegates on the momentous crisis over
shadowing the political hemisphere. Their only
aim was to devise the best method to preserve
the Union in its original purity and grandeur,
and not to advance their own political aggran-
dizement at the expense of the nation. All the
counties in the State except five were fully rep
resented, and the Convention was, in fine de-
cided success The resolutions breathe the right
sentiment, and boldly condemn the corrupt
Vaccinations of the Administration, the wicked
designs of emancipating and arming the slaves to
fight the battles of the North as proclaimed by
the fanatical Abolition party, and the continuance
of the war for longer period than is necessary
to re establish the supremacy of the laws over the
people now in rebellion. Every citizen of Whitley
county, without regard to party, ought to care
fully peruse the resolutions adopted and the mas
terly and logical speech of Mr.. Hendricks on as
suming the responsibility of the Presidency of the
Convention. The ticket nominated is good
one, and eminently deserving of the support of
all conservative men in the State Whitley
County News.


THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION surrender
good portion of our space this week to the
proceedings of the Democratic State Convention.
1t will be seen that the proceedings were unusu
ally harmonious, and that the Convention did its
work in a manner creditable to itself, and accept
able, we doubt not, to the Democracy of Indiana.
The attendance was unusually large, showing
that the people still maintain an undminished
confidence in the Democratic party, and that an
application of its broad national principles is
sental TO the settlement of existing troubles and
the harmony of the nation.


We were of those who questioned the expedi-
ency of an early convention, fearing that our
cherished organization would be placed in a po
sitiOn derogatory TO its well earned fame; but
the result has dissipated our fears, and proved
the truth of the fundamental principle of Democ-
racy that the people are always right, however
much the politicians may err. The resolutions
adopted by the convention will meet the hearty
appreciation of every citizen of Indiana whose
judgment is not warped by sectional bias, and
whose heart is sufficiently broad and patriotic to
comprehend our whole country aud the means
necessary to restore it to its former peace and
glory. The candidates put in nomination are
also unexceptionable. With a platform so
tonal and patriotic and a ticket of admitted
strength and moral worth, the Democratic party
can bid defiance to their mongrel opposers and
easily achieve an old fashioned victory.


The speech of Mr. Hendricks, will be found
complete in columns, and we bespeak for it
careful perusal. 1t combines the fervor of elo-
quence with unanswerable logic OF truth, and
cannot fail to carry conviction to every rejecting
mind. Read it and hand it to your neighbor.-

THE CoNvESTsos-rHE TIcKEr-We this week
Law before our readers svnoDsis of the proceed-
ings of the Democratic Union State Convention,
held at indianapolis the Sth inst, and hoist
the ticket then and there nominated, and com
mend it to the Democracy of Shelby county as
one in every respect worthy of their confidence
and suffrage.


The men composing it are in every respect well
qualified to discharge the duties that will devolve
upon them in the positions for which they have
been seccted-are of irreproachable integrity
and their loyalty to the Constitution and the
Union unquestoLable, neither having counte
nanced the fell heresv of sectionalism, or for a
moment entertained the absurd theory that
section was better than or superior TO the other.
If the people of Indiana wish gentlemanly, com
petent and reliable officers, representing correct.
patriotic and beneficial principles. this ticket will
be elected by majority never before equalled in
the State--and we confdentally predict that such
will be the result.


Every county in the State but FIVE was repre-
sented in the Convention, the delegates being
composed of the abIest and most reliable men in
the State. many of them substantial farmers and
active business men who had never before taken
an active part in politics. but they felt the hour
had come when every man should put forth his
might TO sustain his country in its dark and try
ing hour, when its authority was de6ed and its
very existence threatened By traitors on the one
side, and its energies paralized, and its life blood
being exhausted by imbeciles and piunderers in
