The appointment of ex-Governor Wright, of Indiana, to succeed Mr. Bright in the Senate is a graceful compliment form a Republican Governor to the conservative sentiment of Indiana, and an acknowledgement that Republicanism has failed in its practical application to the administration of the Government – Dub. Herald.
Gov. Wright has about as much sympathy with the “conservative sentiment of Indiana,” as exhibited in the 8th of January convention, as the Herald has with the cause of the Union; and the manner in which he has accepted the appointment is an acknowledgement of the patriotism of the Republican party, which, unlike its defunct adversary, can rise above mere party lines, and seek and find good and worthy men of all creeds and organizations, and place them where their services are needed, and where the country will be benefited.
