APPROACHING ELECTIONS.

The important elections which are soon to
take place in the Western and South Western
States, cannot fail to attract in the present cri-
sis, a large share of public attention.
The first that occurs is in the State of Louisi-
ana wheresa Governor, three Representatives
in Congress, and members of the State Legis-
lature, are TO be Chosen on the hrSt Monday Of
July.
There are two candidates for Governor
Judge Edward d. White, Wing, and General
John B. Dawson, Jackson. Judge White is the
present highly esteemed member of Congress
from the New Orleans district. Hardly a
doubt is entertained Of his success.
The present delegation in Congress is oppo-
sed to the administration. Two ofthem Judge
White and General Thomas) are not candi-
dates for re election. The Hon. Henry John
son, a Wing, will take the place of Judge
White, but who will succeed Gen. Thomas is
doubtful. In the third district, there is no OPP
position to the re election of Mr.. Garland, the
present Wing member.
The political character ofthe Legislature will
be important from the fact that an United States
Senator is to be chosen next winter, Mr.. Wag
gaman's official term expiring on the 4th of
March next.
In the State of Illinois, there are Governor
and three members of Congress to be chosen
on the first Monday of August.
There are three candidates for Governor,
one of whom is Gen. Joseph Duncan, well
known at home and abroad as a representative
IN Congress from that state for the last eight
years.
The Vandalia Wing says that appearances
are favorable to the triumph of Gen. Duncan,
who is supported mainly on the ground OF his
friendship to United States Bank and to In
terna improvements. Gen. D. is Wing in the
fullest sense of that word.
In the first Congressional District, there are
Shade the
member. John REYNOLDS, the Governor, and
Mr.. SNYDER Mr.. Slade voted against the resto-
ration of the deposites and is against the re-
charter Of the Bank. We are gratited to learn
from the Vandala Wing that the current OF
feeling sets so strongly in favor OF the Bank
that very few of the candidates for different
offices attempt to gain popularity by aVowlng
opposition to it, The Wing says:
Even the exclusive democratic candidate
MIR. Snyder) who INDUCES some faint hopes
Of occupying Mr.. SHADES seat, declares him
self of opinion that national bank OF some
description is necessary, and pledges himself,
if elected, TO vote for modified charter of
the present bank, or for a substitute, should a
proposition for one be brought forward"
In the Second District, the Rev. Mr.. Casey,
the present Jackson member, will be reelected
without opposition.
In the Third District, to succeed Gen. Duncan,
there are two candidates, Benjamin Mills and
William l.. May. Their politics are not known
10 US.
Ia Indiana, public sentiment will be fully tes-
ted upon the measures Of the administration by
The choice of Governor, There are but two
candidates, Noah Noble (Whig) and James G..
Read Cackson) and party lines are most dis
uncty drawn The election takes place on the
