That milled fact that the convention Waa the effort to create or sustain such a party can be

largest, the most intelligent, and the most , - -, dignified and patiio.ic body of men eer assembled in this or any of the Western State3. It was composed of the best and most intelligent men of the Sla'.e, which fnet, of itself, is sufiicieiit to silence the calumnv which the abolitionists urteil I aauisf it, tli it i: vas called by a clique, ! and was l b controlled by only a portion of the Democracy of the State. The result of the convention is most gratifying. Tit .cket is unexceptionable. It is compose-1 . gentlemen well known throu ghout the State, and against whom nothing can be said. They possess, in an eminent degree, the Jeffersonian qualifications of honesty and Capability.

" They cxpiess the true Union feentiment the Union owl lie L'orititnlion. With ihn fccktiment for lher rallying cry, the Democracy of Indiana will march to victory as in days of yore. The following is l he platform adopted: Wiif.rk.3, The Democratic party having, from the date of its organization, been in favor of the ina'ntenance of the I'liion und the preservation of the Constitution, and seeing in the prevent condition of the country the deplorable effects of a lejxirture from its time honored and conservative principle!, and the triumph of sectionalism; and t-'rudy believing that thc I'nion mid the Corstitu ion -can be preserved alone by tLe restoration of tvirtT in rmvw we invite aU the Union mpn tliroughont the land to unite with us in sustaining iti) organization and carrying out its principles. There for, Rtftiued, 1. Thai -we renJlirm and endorse the political pi inciplt-s that from time to time have teen put fcrih by thc NationaJ Coin entioni of t?ie Democratic piJ.

2 That wc are vnalterably attached (o the ' Constitution, by which the Union of these States was formed and . established ; and that a faithful ! observance of its principles can alone continue the ,

existence of the Union, and the permanent, happiness of the people. 3. That the present civil war has mainly re-! suited from the long con timed, unwise, and fanatical agitation, in the North, of the question of domestic shivery, the consequent organization of a geographical party, guided by the sectionol plat forms adopted at Buffalo, ttttsburgh.rinladelphia. 'and Chicago, and the development thereby of sectional hate and jealousy, producing (as had long Decn lorcscen nna predicted ny us; m coun terp-irt ill the South of b cession, disunion, and armed resistance to the General Government, and terminating in a bloody strife between those who should have been forever bound together by fraternal bond?, thus bringing upon the whole couni try a calamity which we are now to meet as loyal i citizens, Ftiiving for the adoption of that mode of fctth ment best calculated to agiin restore union and harmony. 4. That in rejecting all propositions likely to result in a satisfactory adjustment of the matters in dispute between the North and the tfouth, and especially tho-e measui es which would have secured the bolder slave States to the Union, and a harfy co-operation on their part in all constitutional and legal measures to procure a return of the more Southern States to their allegiance, the Republican party assumed a fearful responsibility, j1 acted in total disiegaid of the best interests f the whole country.. o. That if the party in power hud thown the same desire to settle, by amicable adjustment, our illteM1;li dimensions before hostilities had actually cssiul which is not based upon a definite set tlcmcnt of the questions at issue between the two sections; and we therefore demand that some such settlement be made by additional cor.stitutiono! guaranty, cither initiated by act of Congress oi J through the medium of a National Convention. 7. That the Republican party has fully demon- . . strated its inability to conduct the Government , . ' , . That w are utterly opposed to the twin heresici, Northern sectionalism and Southern Fe cession, as inimical to the Constitution; and that f reemen, ns they value the boon of civil liberty and the peace of the country, should frown indignantly njxjii them. 9. That in this nattanal emergency the Democracy of Indiana, banishing all feeling of passion and resentment, will recollect only their duty to the whole country; that this war should not be j waged in the spirit of conquest or subjugation. nor for the purpose of overt Lrwin;r or inteiferin? wjth the rghtsor institt tiona of the States, but to defend and maintain, the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality ai.d lights of the several States unimpaired; and that us soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease. 10. That we will sustain, with all our energies, .retinranteedl3 the reo-Je bv the Constitution. nml iu n l.i t r iinrn r unulilitui Itu nif llwi.v 'lights; they are inestimable to the ciuzen and discussion, are exercises of despotic power against whUh freedom revolts And which can not be toleratea without Converting freemen into slaves. 1J- That the secure of Magon and Slidcll.on oard a neutral vessel, on the high seas, was legal ; or else m violation of Such law, and so nie-al. If the former, we lamei t that our nation 1ms been humiliated by their furrer.der, under a tWtat ; if the latter, it was the duty of the Administration at once to have disavowed the act of their oP.ieer, and instead of incarcerating the cap .- i . . , - . , lives m I-ott arrcn, to have immeniately le p:lirrJ tlic wron? hy Tl.adn? thcm( ai far as r,rac ticable, in the same ro xiition in which that ollif"r,l them.

Tbt the meritorious conduct of the Indiana troopg, iu every battlefield where ticfory ht

perched upon the national jar.ner, has filled the people of this State with the highest gratitude to her gallant sons, and that we send our best wUhcs to officers and men, dispersed throughout the

country, and the heartfelt greetings of every Democrat for their further brilliant achievments in the coming contests for the maintenance ol the Conslitutioa and the Union. WHAT .H AS ISECX G AIXED? The Chicago Times, of last Monday, has an able Ilfeld on the expenses of the war, an J the future expenses of our coveminent, which we copv. The responsi- i - ' bility for the enormous 'expenditures, to- ' r gelher with the immense loss of lif. is im initio th uciuii"a uil luo ivciMlUUUH j j 1 , j Until the beginning of the war, ftixty j millions of dollars per year was sufficient j revenue for the most ample needs of the j government. The expenditnres oi the government are now, and will be so long as tho war continues, at least sixty millions! per month; or seven hundred and, twenty millions per year. Says the New York Times: Were the rebellion subdued tomorrow these expenditures must equal twice and perhaps thrice the average for years j past. Wo shall do well if we get on' with j $C)0,OUU,UUO annually. We must keep up, for years, a large standing army, which costs 1,000 a year for each man, rank and file. . We shall not hereafter be content without a powerful navy. We are to render impregnable, if possible, all our important haibors. The civil list grows apace with our increasing years. We shall have, on the first of Julv next.

an annual interest a;eount of 840,000,000. i J. . , . For the nresent. conseuuentlv. we must!fereJt0 receive proposals for publishing.

bid adieu to the golden earn in our history in which we were scarcely conscious that we had a government, 6o lightly did its burdens rest upon us, and enter upon that in which tho almost sole problem of a statesman will be to malte the credit balance the debit side of the netiooal ledger "This is a picture vhich few contemplated when the northern republican lead ers would grant no compromise and no concession, either to avoid war, or to hold the powerful States of Virginia, Tennes see nnd North Carolina in the Union to help the government in a war against rebellion in the more southern states. Tho Republican leaders, least of all, conlem.

jiatedit, but had thev, no doubt their ac- were EO creuu,"3 10 lieve tion would have been the same. When Prose to! urtai expenses of the have thev counted the cost or cared for j Countv "lierever possible, find themthe cost of any action of their own, unless j Sfclves as completely humbugged as ever

it threatened damage to the Republican party ? Remember, wo are not vet in the second year of republican rule. Contrast uliä ti r6t year, with its expenditures of over seven hundred and fifty millions, and with all tin future expenditures it has imposed. with the lonij series of years of demo oratio ruld, which imposed no direct taxes ! and only demanded forty to sixty million J from imposts, and teil us what has h-en j trained by tho triumph of republicanism.! And remember, that this enormous exp-n diture. nasi, nresent and prospective. is amcng the smallest of ihe consequences of the Republican triumph. Greater than this is the interruption of trade, manufac-! tures, commerce, agriculture, and eveiy kind of peaceful industry; greater 6 till is ihe loss of tens of thousands of lives; aod greatest of all is the destruction ot tho old Union, for the old Union, with all its cordiality of sections towards each other and love of its institutions, will never be restored. The authority of the government may bo re-established over all the States, but it will be ths compulsion of the sword and not the voluntary allegiance of tho citizen. " What has been gained by the triumph of republicanism? What has not been lost by it?" , camkuox i:i;.Taovi::. We are happy to announce the removal or compelled resignation of Hon. Simon Nejjro-Equalisy Cameron, Secretary of War. Old Abe knew, or ought to have known, that Cimeron was ono of iIia most consummate rascals throughout abolitiondorn, which is saying a great deal. If he and his friends did not make money out of the office during the ten months he filled it, it was because there was none in it. Tho cause of his 'resignation" has not been ofücially announced, although it is known to be the difference of opinion existing between himself and the balance of the, Cabinet relative to emancipating and arming the slaves. Ho has received the appointment of Minister to Russia, which it is supposed, is he only punishment tho Administration designs inflicting on bini. Hia successor Hon. K. M. Stanton, of Washington, waa, untillately, n Democrat. He held a place, that of Attorney General, in Buchanan's Cabinet, durinir the latter part of his Administration. Mr. Stanton'a antecedents are of the tight order, and his appointment leads us to believe that change for tho belter haa been effected. Tho stonger Ihe democratic element in the Administration, the better will it be for the government and the peopla. May it speedily preponderate ! This must bo very humiliating to those blatant Republicans who to severely de nouueed the leading Democrats, nnd cpecially tho tnembere of HuchaniinV Cabinet. Charging upon liini too ic-poin ibility for the advantage in anus which they say the rebels possessed at the com mencement of hostihies. Tho "able," ."pure," and 'economical administration,"

which was promised tha people on the accession of Abraham the First, after ten months of failure, of mismanagement, and .disgrace in . the ; eyes, of the woild, has been compelled to displace its most important cabinet mini&ior, andtake his successor from the hated, and doiestod cabinot of Buchanan! What a fall was there, my countrymen!

o rn Ecoxo5tic.iL Ai?nrrox. It will h remembered that our Auditor. i ii . .i when a candidate three years ago, was , . , , ... e irv pmrtliutir in hi iipnnnpiitiiina rf tho ourse pursued by his competitor relative . i ... . .1 i ... : .' rni to letting out the County punting. There ws one year durM.g the term of the former Auditor, that h did not receive bids for publishing the Dtdi-iju-m List; that Sf ,i,er0 xva3 but ono year, wh?n there wer(J two printing offices in the County, ti,al ui did not receive bids, or offer to. ms ono failure to receive proposal j furfished the new Auditor a text from which he preached to nearly every voter in the County. He almost shed tears to think that a sworn officer should eo far neglect ! or refuse to discharge his duty, as to not reoeivo biJs for doing the County printing at the lowest price. But since his own election to the office, how has he fulfilled the innumerable pledges which he mado to the people, that the County printing should be lot to the one who would do it the cheapest? Since hU induction into office he has had. three Delinquent Lists rmKlisViflil for not nnA nf tvliifli n.a ex f with a view to having it dotie at the low est rate. Is this acting in good faith to those who were induced to support him, in consideration of his pledges of economy in all County expenditures over which he could have any control? Is it making the burdens of the tax-payers as light as they would Do if ho had received proposals for printing, and awarded it to tho lowest bidder? We did not expect him to fulfill any of his pledges of economy in the public oxpendeniiures, unless it was to his interest, or the interest of his party to do so. He jliw not disippoinled us ; but many who were tiiepitrons ot l el-r tunk. In conversation with him a few weeks iaor on 111,3 8Whrcl 1,1 answer 10 our inqiry why lie did not give u an oprnmu nity to bid for the job of publishing the Delinquent List, he statt-.! that he had given thc job-to Mattingly fr just half what tho law allowed. How did he know but that wo or some oilier person would ,,,ve lone vort for leSS lhan w,,Hl 1,0 ,Pl ,he J,,b t0 Mnly tor: 1,0 auditor oi -,a ojaniy. wno m a Democrat, gets the IJelnquent List of j nat bounty printed lor uvnve cents p-r description about twenty per cent, less j t,ln ol,r econoimrai Auditor pays Mattm.r Furthermore, the 1 iw does not put a f ice upon the work. Im imposes a limit. Ile ,,afl " intention ot giving the list tn 'anybody but Mattingly; and if responsible bids, at one-half what ho says it is to b done for, had been mad, the result would lure been tho same. He cares more for the tucce8s cf an abolition sheet lhan he doe? for the interests of the people or tha fulfillment of a solemn promise. If the people are deceived again by such promises it will certainly be their own fault, for they have had sufficient evidence to convinco them of their utter falsity. AXOTEII2K EXIIIKITZOX OF LITTLKXKS. Wo aro informed by an Attorney of this place, thai a client of his requested him to have a legal notice, which ho was to pay for, published in the Demockat. The Attorney stated tho desire of his client, to Mr. Pursuing, the Clerk, by whom the noiico was to bo attested ; and also stated that it was a matter ot no consequence to himself where it was published, but that tho request was mado in compliance with tlie desire of his client. Mr. Persuing, with all tho dignity which is generally attributed to an Emperor, flatly refused to comply with any such request ! And this is tho manner in which this official serves tho people pays no attention to their requests, when they could bo complied with .without any cxtia exertion or loss of dignity on his part, unless it is to lly into a rage becauso peoplj havo such impudence. We ask no favors of such a selfish, narrow-minded, illiberal politician as Mr. Pf.iuuino haq shown himself to be. It is no pleasure or profit to bo the servant of such an -unworthy servant of tho people. He seems to think that because Republicans elected him io ollice. no Democrat, or other person, has a right to approach his august presence. Ha appears to act on the idea that the most abject snbmis-ti.-.n on Iii tviri t.i tliA dioiinthnt rou i .A him, and the party that elected him. is ihe only tenure by which ho will ue able ' to hold his ollice until llio nd ol the rn I . ... - m (r which he was elected.

superior qualifications-that of playing lacquey to a st of corrupt, rotten, and

unprincipled leaders of a party which he

uiinhs ne must serve instead ol the peo-jiij3 There is a tin of reckoning not fr distant, when all such small rated officials

will receive a hint that their services are not further needed. May it speedily ; come. On our first page may be found a very able and statesmanlike speech, (a rare arv-lo fiom the source,) by Hon. Lyman TiJfMRfLL, Republican Senator from Illinois. Some of the Republican papers have b.jMi publishing some Democratic speeches with great gusfo, and we are happy to be able to return the compliment It is needless to state that tho snecli can r not be found in any of the Republican . . . .. . papers.

The ILuse Committee of Ways and Means have decided to report a bill for the issue of 100.1)00,000 of Treasury demand notes, making them a legal tender, and making thern convertible into twenty years' tl per cent, bonds. The course of Marshal Limon. in re r. . , , r, fusuir permits to Congressmen to visit the city jail, was severely commented on in the Senate to-day, he being denounced as an 'imported satrap' and 'wandering brigadier.' - v' Nearly all the Republican Senators hare demanded his immediate removal ihe bill which passed tho House, abolishing the franking privilege, excludes all newspaper exchanges from free transmission by mail. It is probable that the Senate will pass it immediately. Mr. Stanton was confirmed to-day as Secretary of War, with but two or three dissenting votes.
