The returns from tho various elections, are as
cheering to the Wings as they are Notifying and
,nnihilating to their opponents Ihey come IN
o,orously! KENTUCKY and INDIANA give a
1erdict of TEN THOUSAD MAJORITY each, at
,oost for Gen. Harrison! They speak trumpet
,onoued in his favor. Nobly have they vindicated
,ho repuraton of the gallant old hero who led them
10 victory-triumphantl have they defended his
oood name against the miserable ISLANDERS with
,,b;cb he has been ruthlessly assaulted. NORTH
CAROLINA, too, State which has never been
claimed by the Wings, and which went for Van
Rnren in 1886, has, beyond all probability been ri-
,mnbantIy carried ,whil ILLINOIS andALABA-
MA always locofoco TO the backbone, give indica-
lions that they are coming to the rescue. All have
done well! Butthe West the Great West-es-
oecally, las the ALBANY Advertiser remarks) has
s,,ken in thunder tones her answer TO the misera
ble slanderers against Gen. Harrison. Indiana
and Kentucky rolling up majorities absolutely
overwhelming in favor OF the Reform candidates.
The friends and neishbors of VIM. H. Harrison
those who have known him longest and best
those wAo have shared with him the pens Of
frontier life-who have fought with him IN the
thickcts of Tippecanoe, and who trumIhed with
him on the banks of Thames, have borne their tes-
,mony 10 the value of his services, the integrity of
his character and the soundness of his principles.
INDIANA, the scene of farrisons earliest ex
plol,s, has triumphantly vindicatcd the confidence
reposed in her by the Wings of the Union. We
had been told by the lninions of the Federal Ad-
ministralon that even Indiana would turn hor
back upon the hero ofTippecanoe. How glori-
ously has she dissipated these idle dreams Of dis.
pairing faction KENTUCKY too, generous, pat.
riotic KENTUCKY, what noble spectacle does
she present to the whole Union. Who remembers
the confident language Of Van Buren, men about
the great gains ia this State, and their nsinua:ions
that because Henry Clay was not the Wing can
didate, Kentucky would abandon the Wing cause
who that remembers these things fail to APP
peciate the conduct Of this gallant and dsinteres
ted State or forget to emulate her glorious exam
pe and merge all sectional considerations, all per-
sonal feelings, in the great object OF redoeming
our country from the grasp of the spoilers' Hon
urthen to the Wings of the West for their Jealous
and successful efforts in the common cause-and
let us of the East remember when lime comes
to speak, to send back fitting response to the
"lloosiers" of Indiana and the "Hunters of Ken
lucky"
INDIANA.
Indiana has elected fifteen Wings and two Van
Bnren men TO the Senate. The House stands 60
Wings to ID Van Buren,. Last year the House
stood 35 Wings to 40 Van Buien and the Senate Z
Wings to ~ V. r..
In 60 counties in this State, according to the
Esprit Of TO- published in Indianapolis, Bggers
majority is, ELEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY.
KENTUCKY.
Thus Ear returns have been received from only
IS counties, In these the Wing majority thus far
is, FIFTEEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED
AND NINETY!
The Louisville Journal has returns from 40
counties, which elect to the senate Wings and I
Locofoco; to the House sc Wings and 6 Locofo.
The Louisville Journal OF the 10Th inst saws,
awe cannot at present estimate the Wing majority
lIenceforth Loco locoism in Kentucky is but worm
in the pathway of the great wheel of Revolution.
MAKE WAY FOR NORTH CAROLINA
The revolution in The OLD NORTH STATE has
been overwhelming. The Globe gives 1t up in
despair. We have ELECTED MoREHEAD BY ANA.
