INDIANA has also burst nsunder the shachles of
federalism. In the last Congress her delegation
stood wings to democrat II is demo
Gratis to wings and ii is said the democrats
have majority in the Legislature. All hail to
tho Hooser State The editor Of the Nashville
Wing, commenting on this result, says, with tears
in his eyes, This completes the revolution, and
renders the result as disastrous to the wing cause,
as the loss of Cannon in our own State.
From Kentucky and North Carolina we have
but little reliable intelligence. In the former
State, the democrats have gained one member to
Congress certainly, probably two. In the latter,
so far as heard the result is pretty much the same
as i, was at the last election. Bynum, the able
and fearless representative from the Halifax dis
lrict is re elected, by an increased majority.
We understand that report is lndusIriously
circulated in various parts Of the county, that the
Democratic ticket for the Legislature was got up
by iunto of politicians in Columbus. Such a
report is without the shadow Of a foundation.
We speak from our own personal knowledge
Messrs Speight, Lipscomb, and Gilmer, were
spoken of as suitable candidates by gentlemen
| from the country as well us the town, sometime
before their names were announced, and they
were pressed TO run by many Of their friends
both in aud out Of town. But it is scarcely ne
cessary To notice this reports as there are too ma
ny OF the citizens Of the country who can testit,
10 its Ialsehood, for il to do our candidates an
injury.
We are happy TO state, that at all the precincts
in the county that we have heard from lately, III,
democratic party are united, and will present on,
unbroken front nj the polls in favor Of Speight
Iipscomb, and Gilmer How could il be other
wise Three men personally more popular, o.
better qualified TO represent the county, could no
possibly have been selected--the ticket has beer
spoken of in the highest terms in various part.
Of the State, indeed It is looked upon every where
as the strongest that has been formed in any
county. Elect your ticket" says one Of oul
correspondents" and you will cover yourselve.
with glory--old Lowndes will stand foremost il
our Legislature" and zee piH elect II, Just a.
sure as the month Of November rolls round.
The vAGRANrn ORATOR, Henry Clay
has been stamping ii through the State of New
York. Every where crowd could be collected
he has made speech. Some Of his out pouring
was quite equal in violence & incorporate denunci

speech at Baltimore, about dozen years ago.
The burden Of his song is the coFrupiions OF the
government and the necessity Of a change Of ru
