THE ELECTION.


The election in this State is over, and from the
returns received, the Democrats, aided IS said,
by the Independent, wings, have carried II. This
suit was unexpected, from the fact that the demo-
Gratis appeared to be somewhat dsheartened by
thels overwhelming defeat OF last year, and but lit
tie cxcrton was apparently manifested to secure
triumph Of their principles. The failure Of the fed
cral leaders meet tithe of their promises made
last year, connected with their daring and hypocrt-
zeal course since their accession to power, has
wrought calmly but eilccually to open the eyes of
the people and so great indeed has their disgust
become, that in almost every instance where their
political organization of $40 was attempted to be
continued, and Irregular wing ticket" nominated
it has been defeated either by the democrats, or
those independent wings who bow not the knee to
the dictation Of moneyed aris,ocracy or a sw nd
ling bank olgarchy. May the intelligent lIoosiers
always act thus Independently. These are no times
to take the word of inerested office seeker more
especially if he belongs TO that aristocratic class
who have done nothing for their country their
constituents. Every should examine and Judge
for himself.
1t strikes us that many of our wing cotcmpora
ries labor under sad mistake, when they assert
that the wings did not turn out in their strength.
They should remember Gov. Walace's message,
which said that some 5000 OF 2o,00o votes more
were returned than there were taxable voters as
sessed. At the time attributed IL to another
than did the Govcrnor-thc fault OF the assessors.
We said then, and we believe now, that that large
number of voters was made up of pPe- layers and H.
legal rioters; aud this being the fact is what has
led contemporaries suppose thai the wings did
not come to the polls.
The result in this State we expect to see follow
ed by every State to hold election, where the
proceedings of the extraordinary Congress have been
freely given to the people To the whig papers of
this State the advocates of correct prime Piles should
feel grateful for their unsophtscdied manner of lay
ing before the poop the proceedings of that body.
II has generally been done, credit to them for 1t,
without much attempt to fasify, usual
to deceive, in their operation. The result IS be-
fore the country.
The follow ing list is nearly full, corrected from
slips which leads us TO believe that the - nate
will be about equally divided, while in the House,
tie democrats viii have majority of from to 10.
