r have not written YOU since l returned from In
dianapolis, for the simple reason that there was
nought 10 write about bur the din OF preparation
for the State Election in August next is beginning
to be heard in the ranks of both political parties
and l suppose you would Ike to hear how the
public pulse beats in this quarter 1t may be pos
sible that YOU Eastern Wings and your Loco b!etn-
rem too think that because Ohio and Massachu-
sets ard New-York have all tried their hands at
Loco-Foco Governors, the Indianisns are gong 10
follow their foolish example. If you do, the re-
suit will disappoint you all; for the HoosieF State
has not been guilty OF such act OF folly for many
Ieng year Most especially at this time, when
complished SIS it was by a combination OF tout
treachery, reckless violation of pledges, fragrant
MISREPRESENTATION of Wing Counties, and deed
of partisan violence unparalleled in infamy even
by the New-Jersey case,) has caused the Wings OF
other States to doubt whether she Is inYlncloiy
Whig-rncss especially, l say, under such clrcum-
stances will her gallant take pride In proving
next August that they have the power, when they
choose to exercise it, of scattering the Loco-f oco
army before them in hopeless defeat
You will recoIlect that Gov. Bggers majority
in 1910 was 5000, and you will perhaps consider
me enthusiastic when l claim the majority
for him next August. Let give you the rea-
sons In the Southern part of the State, at that
time, the Loco-Foco party unjustly succeeded In
making many believe that he was identified with
the system of Internal Improvement, he having
been in the Senate and voted for the Survey bill,
the wear before " the System was adopted. The
system was universally unpopular there, and
hence he lost a large number OF Wing votes. In
deed several Districts which then gave maJorltles
against him, have SINCE in Al and 40, elected
Wing Senators by handsome majorities. The
saddle is now on the other horse. MIR. Whitcomb,
the Loco-Foco candidate for Governor, not
only a warm friend of the System, but voted IL
1886 in The State Senate, for the mammoth mon
ster, against which, in 1910, Gen. Howard made
such bitter speeches. In the part of the State
about which | am now speaking, there are hun
dreds cf Loco-Foc as well as Wing. who have
solemny pledged themselves never to vote for any
man who assisted, directly Indirectly, in tasten-
ing that scheme upon the State. These votes IN
l540 Gen. Howard obtained, and they cannot n01o
be transferred by the party to Mr.. Whicomb, one
of the fathers of tie system which they so cor
daily hate. In the Central portion Of the State
Gov. Bigger's vo,e may and probably will fall
off somewhat from his former poll. This will not
be on account of any detection in the Wing ranks,
but from the fact of there being an Abolition can
didate in the field who will receive about 500
Wing votes-the Loco-Foco Abolitionists voting
es usuel-and very sensibly too-for their party
candidate In the North there will be no loss, but
rather Wing gain. Many counties in this sec
ton will do much better than they did in August,
1870 For instance; kosciusko, which then gave
30 Wig majority, will now give $50 without any
extra exertons. Last August she gave sc major
ty for Wing candidates that were considered ra-
Their unpopular than otherwise Marshall Co.
which then went 40 Loco-Foco, will not now be
worse than tie-perhaps better. Last October
when both parties made the most strenuous exer-
tons, she gave Mr.. Defrees, the Wing candidate
for Senator, Is majority. La Porte, which gave
Bigger 225 mejority in his former race, will In
crease it in this TO 500 and upward. l have been
thus particular that you might see my estimate
has at least some premises upon which to be based
Mr. Whitcomb is a rank Van Buren, Sub Treasury
man nti-P Protective Tarif-anti- Distribution
ant-National Currency, and anti-every-thng Wing;
and such political principles openly avowed and
advocated, have never met with favorable recep-
ton in Indiana, and, it guess Alright, both they
and he will get as cold shower-bath next Au-
gust as it has ever been their fortune to receive.
1t is very pleasant indeed to look on and see
how the fight between the Loco-Focos as relates
10 the Presidency wakes warmer and warmer
From present appearances the schism will be very
difficult, perhaps impossible to heal. Family quar-
res are generally to be deprecated, but in this in
stance it is hard TO tell which is in the right, and
which, if either, TO sympathise with. Messrs
Van Buren,, Calhoun & Go. must think 1t will be a
great honor for them to be beat by Henry Clay
from the manner in which they are respectively
H. &c Ho;r
against him.
The winter here has been both severe and long !
sleighing still continues. This makes the 1l0th
day of good sleghing that ST. Joseph County has
enjoyed this winter.
Mr.. Cost Johnson's plan of relief to the States
is winning favor here very fast. No doubt seems
to exist that it will ultimately be adopted by Con-
gress. You will recollect that our State Senate,
by q to 30 adopted joint resolution in its favor
last winter.
The Roman Catholics intend having very large
Monastery and College built about two miles from
this place. 1t is to be brick, three stories high
200 feet by 40, and will cost about Sl5, 900. The
Roman Catholic Church own large quantity of
real estate in this county, which property is to be
used toward defaying the expense of building this
large Monastery. There II monks and two
priests here

tricts in this State are already commencing their
