s.r A SLIGHT DIErERENCE

The Hon. Timothy Follett stated at the last meeting
of the Tippecanoe Club, that he saw Van Buren,
member of Congress at New York, who informed him
that Gen. Howard, the Van Buren, candidate for Gov
ernor of Indiana, told him, when he left Washington
that he was perfectly confident of obtaining Ten MouS
and majority in the late election in that state. Sc
sure was Gen H., said Mr.. F. of being elected that he
even went so far as to consult his brother member il
regard to subject which he thought of introducing
into his message! Well, said Mr.. Foett, the Gen
cral was about right in regard to the Majority TIL,
only respect in which the result differed from his an
ticipations, was that the ten thousand majority hap
pened to be against him instead Of being in his favor
slight difference TO be sure but one about which thu
Wings are not disposed to grumble.
