In calling attention to my Cancer Antldete, a ne trertment tor Cancer, permit me to say that it is ti. most wonderful discovery ever made In medicihe It Is the grent desideratum so long sought for by th Medical Profession and the afflicted with cancer. operation is truly astonishing, without a parallel, and is the only known antidote to cancer, and a), cancerous affections the modus operandi of the antidote is apparently by entering into the chemical composition of the cancer, cancoroos, malignant or unhealthy growth, thereby removing all life and vitality, aiitldotlng, killing and destroying the cancer, every particle root ann Sbre belonging to It, without pain or the use of the knife without c.ustic eating burning without the loss of blood, or in the leart affecting the sound flesh. It can be applied to the naked eyo or an "pen wound, as easily and freely ss nter. Sy this means large cancers can be removed from vital parts, the eye, large blood vessels, &c )rre no ether treatment could possibly be ased and in doing so we teel assured of making permanent enres when all other treatment fails.

«i, o. BlfoLEr,
Democratic State We publish herewith, the resolutions adopted by the Democratic Convention, at Indianapolis on Tuesday It will be observ ed that they entirely ignore the great issue of the hour, to-wit: the one of crushiug the rebellion, and restoring tbe rightful authority ol tbe government over the whole of its territory. The Journal Bays tbe Convention on the grcnt question of the war was weak, shuffling and pitiable.
Vacillation and timidity ruled the hour.— Tbe Democracy of old, plumed itself on its caudor and courage, and boasted that it was a party of principle. The pnrty now claiming the name of Demociacy,advertises to the world that it has no principlct1, but that it is a p:ity of poiicy, expedieuts and shauis.— The Unconditional Peace Men had principles which they fearlessly avowed, but their principles were so abominable that the Couven tion did uot dare to endorse them, fn this dilemma it sented its candidates on tbe top rail of the fence, with full liberty to fall on that side which future events shall prove to be the softest. It may be that thoy can 8usccs8fully repeat the artful dodge of 1862, but tb« experience of tbe people after that campaign, is not favorable to a repetition oi tbe same tactics.
A ter the reading of the resolutions which are herewith published, and which were reported by the Committed OH resolutions, LAFK
DETKLIN of Wayue county, and B. W. HANNA, of this county, sought to obtain from the Convention au rndorsement of some peace resolutions. JJr HANXA'S resolution, was as follows: "Resolved, Tbit the civil war now destroying our beloved country is a groat, evil in the eyes of the American people, and the inhuman barbarism so often and justly complained of on both sides of the contending parties, are but the necessary result of such a conflict that a mere change in the policy and mniis of conducting it will not lessen er remedy the evil that ore believe the preservation of our present form of government depends oo its discontinuance, and that we will use every means io our power to bring about a speedy and honorable peace."
On offering which he said"the gieut subject that attracted the attention of evorv oitieen— theall-ab9orbing topic in all circles—was the bloody civil war now waged for unholy purposes. Tet it had been ignored by the Convention." Much excitement prevailed at this point of the proceedings, and the Chairman decided thst the resolution would go to the committee, ander the rule that all resolutions of rolitical character should go to the committee without debate. The committee then retired, and sent for DEVELIN and HANNA, who bad thus thrown a fire-
1
DR. STRICKLAND'S
brar-d into the Convention, and tbe whole matter was quickly arranged. The lesolution, together with HANMA and DEVELIN wore thus summarily, and tffectually souffed out.
BC^KIBK from the rominittee, citinouncvi thnt resolutions ou the subject ol the war were purposely omitted, because the Chicago Convention had not been held, and as a consequence. he and his parly did not know what Democracy was until after th-it event. He expected that Convention to inform the Democrats of Indiana what they should believe, on the question of the preservation of the Government, and the maintenanca of its rightful authority.
The resolutions referred to are as follows: W'HEEAS, The Constitution of the State of Indiana declarrs that the "powers of tho Government are divided into three separate departments the Legislative, tho Executive, including the Administrative and the Judicial aud no persou chargod with official duties under one of thes departments, shall exercise any of tbe funotionsof another, except as iu this constitution expressly prorided and, whereas, the maintenance of our present form of government, the rights and liberties of the people and the safety and economical expenditure of the people's money depend upon a strict and rigid adherence to and enforcement of the foregoing provision of our Constitution, therefore.

Letter From Indianapolis.
Democratic Ntale Convention
Small as the Couventiori wae, it w«s minie of incongiuous elements, prominent among which were the peace-al-nny-price Democrats then a few real War Deuinciais aud tirnie that were in t'-ivor of the prosecution of the war, but uot so vigorously HI to injure slavery, or interfere with h" C-HIHII-tutiotml rights of their Southern biethren These weredivided into two luctions wlnse conkentiooH several limes threatened to break the Convention up in a row -one perating under the iufiuence of the Sons of Liberty, to which the delegates belonged, aud the othor guided by meu who have avoided the secret organization from party and personal motives, but who have nurtured aud caressed the thing until it has grewn to be a monster ot frightful rnein aud exceedingly haul to manage.
Resolved 1. That we disapprove of and denounce as revolutionary aud subversive of the Constiutiou of our State, and destructive of the legislation of Government and tinrights of the people, and the aelion of O. P. Morton Governor of this State, in counseling and advising, and that of tho Republican members of the last Legislature in aeceeding from the House of Rspresentatives, in violation of their constitutional oaths and solemn duty as representatives o' the peoplo. aDd thereby breaking a quorum and defeating all necessary legislation, including the passage of the necessary appropriation bills for tbe due and legal administration of the affit'rs of the State, and for the support and assistance of our sick and wounded soldiers and that we denounce aud coudemu tbe action ol Governor Morton in failing una refusing to call au extra session of tbe Legislature, ntid to adviso and urge tbe Republican members of the House to reujaiu in their scats until the needful Legislation was completed, the obvious motives of which was to profit by the wrong of himself and his party friends, and usurp and exorcise for partisan purposes the powers aud iuuetious of tbe coordinate departments of the government, which division of power is the greatest safeguard ot liberty. 2. That we disapprove of and condemn the action of Governor Morton iu establishing "financial bureau," an institution uuknown to the Constitution, the l*wg and tbe uf.ages of tho State of Inilitun ii: securing, disbursing and squandering tbe 'nmls of the State iu borrowing inouey on tbe faith of tbe State and p'o-ijjng the property aud the energies of the people to pay such loans, aud the interest thereon and ptying out tuch money in 0{eu arid flagrant disregard of the Constitution aud laws of the Stftte, without ?ny appropriation directing tho payment thereof, and without any of the checks and safeguards that tho wisdom and experience of the past have demonstrated more necessary for the salciy, preservation and economicnl «xpeuditure of the meney of the people of the State. 3. That the people of Indiana, having inhibited, by the Sute Constitution and law, the entrance free negroes and inulattoea into this State, and as th« present disturbances on our border Are likely to bring in an influx ol that population, ask the public authorities of Indiana to see that tbe Constitution and laws are en'o'esd upon that subject. Whuu the pecple of Indiana adopted that ncgro-eAlusion clause by msjon*y of ninety thousand votes, they meant the bon* available man in the party as candidate for est, laboring white man should have no com- Qoreruorj situation became interesting, petitor in tbe black race that the soil of In- ... diana should belong to the white man, and
The contest t.etween these disturbing elements wns fruitful of much discord jingling and finally resulted iu the subjugating of the "Sous" and thoir almost summary squclching out The delegatiou respecting this unfortunate and pestiferous oid6rof dark lanterns bad everything cut and dried and seemed to have imagined that they should have it alt tkeir owu way,hut their efforts were provokingiy impotent their oracles spkoe, but their was was no quakiugof dry bones or clashing of kncct5. Their gnlvauic batteries did not have the desired effect—there was no contracting of muscles nor sudden opening of eyes. In fact a little skillful application of parliamentary tactics by a few determined spirits demoralized tbe whole force and made it subservient to the
II ol" the (ipposing eloment. Notwithstanding this, however, it was easily to be seen that this side of the Convention represented a formidable portion of the Democratic party of the State, a portion that will coutiuue exereien a baneful influeuce as long as disloyal men nud traitors are countenanced our midst.
Previous to tbe meetiog of the Ooovenliou the leaders of tho unterrified were ap prebeusive of trouble in adopting a platform. The Chicago Convention having been postponed they were left without a compass to guide them through tbe uncertain sea of their difficulties. The "Sons of Liberty," taking advantage of this, were determined to lay dowu a pe»ce-Al-any-price platform and force the candidate? to atind equaiely upon it but here, again, another difficulty arose- M' DoudiJ Jcolared he would not ruu if that was done, and be being the only

habeas corpus in loyal States—tbe suppression' of tree speech and a free press by the Administration—is a crime against drilixation and tbe hopes and iuterests of mankind. 5.
That the profligate expenditures of the people's treasure by the Administrstion at Washington, upon court favorites and objects of doubtful character, has brought tbe nation to the verge of bankruptcy and general ruin and that no hope exists of a res-

That the delay of the Administration 'in promptly paying disabled or discharged soldiers, and pensiodS to widows and children whose husbands and fathers have fallen iu battle or died in camp or by the wasyide and the meanness with which tho powers at Washington audit and* pay shoddy contractors, ^officers and placemen of the Government, is a cruel, wrong to the ^destistute and deserving,aud merits th^ withering scorn of the American people. 8.

Vallandigham." This was "a triumph over tho secret order faction and was swallowed with loud disapprobation, for at one time it seemed as if the Convention would adopt the resolution regardless of consequencoa.
It was .arrested in time, however, and turned over to the Committee, together with a resolution, offered by Bayless Hanna, for tbe suppression of tho war, and these manipulated until tliey became meaniugless phras-

But there was one text graven on the pages of this book that admitted of but one reading. Mr. Lioc»lu was the auUtor of that hideous sentiment that the States of the Union could not remain part Frco and part Slave—that they must be wholly Free or wholly Slave. And as tho Southern States had never evinced a desire or desigu to impose their institutions ou the Free States, it followed, as of logical sequence, that Mr. Lincoln thought ths Free States were bound, by a manifest destiny, to crush out tbe Slavery institution of the South. This shocking sentiment, which could only be made practical through seas of blood, endeared Mr. Lincoln to a peoplo already educated to that cruel issue."
