The Democraoy o' Indiana met in State Convention, at Indianapolis, on Wednes dfj-, nominated a íull State ticket onc elected delegatag to the Baltimore Con Vention. The ( !onvention was large, ove ono thousand dologatos being present, an good fecling and groat uuauimity pre vailed. The State ticket is hoadod by the olc war-horse, Hon. T. H. IlKNDRICKS, who in spite of a prior announoament that hi was not a oandidate, was unanimously nominated. W. C. DEPEW was nominatod forLiout Governor ; ChYEN M. Eddy, for Secroturi of State ; Joiix B. BTALL, for Auditor Jonx B. IiYAN, for Treaiurer; Milto: B. Hopkins, for Superintendent of Public Instruction ; B. W. Hanxa, for Attornerj General ; E. J. F&ICB, for Clerk of the Supremo Court ; C. J. Robinsox, for lteporter to Supreme Court; and Mossrs John S. Williams and Hichael C. Kerr for Congressmen at largo. The platform, adopted by a large majority, includes the threo following resolutions which have a bearing upon national politics and issues : Resolved, By the Dein ocracy of Indiana, in conventiou here assembled, that tho principies of the Cincinnati Liberal Republican Convention, taken in conuection with the proposition contained in Horace Greeloy's letter accepting tho noiniiiatioii of that Convention, constitute a platform on which the elements of opposition to the piesent corrupt admin istration of tho Federal govornment, can stand, and which propositions are as follows: 1. All the political rights and frnnehises which have been acquirod through the late bloody eonvulsionsmut ■Tid liftH ho jvunraTitooil, maiiitain Afl. pnjoyed and respected ever more. 2. All the political rights and franchiaes whieh have been lost through that convulsión should and must be promptly rcturned and re-established, so that there shall bo honceforth no proscribed class and no disi'runehised caste within the limits of our Union, whosü long estranged pooplo shall reunite and fraternizo upon the broad basis of universal amnesty, with impnrtial eutFrage. ;$. That subject to our solemn constitutional obligation to inaintain tlin equal rights of all citizens, our policy should airu at local self-goveinment and not at eentralizaticn ; that tho civil authority should be suprcme over tho military ; that the writ of Itabta nr2ms should bo zealously upheld as tho .safeguard of personal freedom ; that the individual citizon should enjoy tho largost liberty consistent with public or.lcr, and that there shall be no Federal suporvision of the internal policios of the several States and municipalities, büt that each shall be left freo to enforce the rights and promote the well boing of' its inhabitants by such meuns as the judgment of its peoplo shall prescribe. 4. That thero shall be a real, and not merely a simulated reform in the civil service of the Kepublic, to whicli end it is indispensable that the chief dispenser of its vast official patronage should be shielded trom tho main temptation to uso his power selfishly by a rulo inexorably forbidding and precluding his ro-election. Jlesolmd, That we regard itasunwise oud iniprudent to place two tickets in nomination tor tho offices of President and VicePresident as tho represent ati ves of these principies, as tho división of its frionds would insure the defeat of both, and it is therefore the fixed conviotion of this Convention that the Democratie Convontion to assemble in Baltimoro in July should adopt tho uominoes of tho .Liberal Republican Convention instead of making other nominations for the Prosidoncy and ViceProsidency of the United States. Jicsolveil, That tho delegates appointed "rom this State to the Baltimore Convention be and they are horeby instructcd to vote as a unit upon all questions in accord anee with tho opinión of a majority of ;he delegatiou. Mr. Hkxdricks accoptod the nomina;ion in a well recoived speech. Ho hought the action of the Convention "oroshadowod tho result at Baltimoro, and to that result he pledged his support. He promised his best nfforts ;o insure succoss, and coneluded : " As the ' State goes in Octobor so will it go in ' November. Wo havo turned our backs ' upon tho past, we stand in the present ' and look to the future. Tho past is lost I to us, tho future is oura. Let us mako it ' a glorious ono." - This has a look as though Greeley was to be the nowinee of. tho Baltimore üonvention. - Hon. D. W. YoouilEES was in tho city jut took no part in the Convention. His nvn district turned a cold shuulder to ïim, and seut Greeley dalegatcs to Baliiaore; We invite the attention of our Democratie- readers to the eall in this number of tHe AftGüS-foir a Democratie County Convontion, to be held in this city, at tho Court House, on Friday, the 28th inst., at I 1 o'clock A. M., to olect six delegates to ihe State Oonvention, to be held at Lansing on Tuesday, tho seoond day of July. AVo sincerely hopo that every town aid ward in the county will bo fully repreBonted. Let caucuses bo called at onc:i and largoly attended, and let tho bost and safest men.be sent to the County Convention, men who know tho views of their neichbors aadi&llow Democrats and wiil failhtully present them. The Deinocracy iKivor was abont to open or enter up on a more important campaign, and det'eat or success largely hinges upou the primary meetings.
