Correspondence OF The Tnbane.
Soura BEND, ST. Joseph Co. Ia Sept !
Well, the noise of the battle Is over" the
smoke has cleared off from the battlefield, ano
we can look around calmly and see where we are
That we are lying very easily and conplacenuy
flat on our backs you are well aware; thal we
have been thrashed genteelly and eiiectuaily We
do not pretend to deny; that we are fe7'i'eo =
fight next wear ten times harder tnan ever dilc
determined to wipe out the disgrace OF this deiea
YOU may be assured. Although we are oea,ch
we are not conquered; we arc dlscomnfeo' ou'
not vanouished- betrayed, bat not disnnayeu.
You know right well that the Wings never lis,il
better than when they have been temporary
thrown into minority-When inc o'n,t.'-o- =
forced ay. driven home to theif ninuS snSt w.

~. does not as you might have expected, mate
III, III discourage the Wings for next years con-
.as, They have the example of their opponents
too nlainIy before their eyes. They (the Locosl
were most wofully whipped IN this State IN 40
bpt nothing daunted, they worked and worked,
wear after year, till, to their own surprise, they
have conquered their conquerors-and that $ Just
exactly what the Wings lntend DONG. Loco
Fncoisn must take dose OF the same Ineolcine
II has giyen us. In the mean time we shali re-
main on our backs From that situation we can
not help but look upward, even Ii we didn't de-
sire to. Had we been raised to the top ol L or
tunes wheel, the chances would nave been more
in favor next year of looking d0Un thar up.
Victory might have rendered us too contdeht.
The Locos have elected their Governor by 2,Ol3
majority on poll Of over l2O,OO0 volcs-the
LARGEST ever given in the State, thoug h not iuil
vote by some to 1000. The Abolitonlsts cast
1854 votes III the Wings had done as well all
over the State as was done north OF the Wabash,
Bigger would have been elected by just about the
same majority that he is now beaten. In the
Legislature the Senate is tied, with Loco Lieu
tenant Governor "a much better, and more high
minded and well.esteemed man, by the way, than
the Governor) to unite it at every vote. In the
lower House they have s majority and conse-
ouentlv the same preponderance on JOINT ballot.
The State Auditor, Treasurer, several Judges,
&c. all Wings now, are in their power, and
suppose will have to walk the plank The Loco
Focos have resolved that E.. NJ Chamberlain, Just
defeated for Congress, shall be the President
Judge of this Circuit for years from next WIN
ter, and as the Wings are under this time, they
must submit to it as well as they know how. We
intend to take him up Salt River along with US
in order that by practising on his cotton shlrtlng
and salt anti-Taritf arguments he could make an
independent fortune netting, according to his
theory and declarations, 100 per cent. profit on
each, as long as the Tariff is in existence. But
If his party must have hun on the bench, we must
forego the pleasure Of his company up to our new
abode If electing him Judge could wipe out the
disgrace of his running behind his ticket fifty
four uotes in his o,cn county, t,uenty IN his oecn
topn and thirty in the county adjoining his resi-
dence, think his party should be compelled to
do it. The Locos have elected 5 Members OF
Congress and the Wings 2, who will represent the
$1,000 Wings of this State far better than the
celebrated Andy Kennedy IN the 9th Congress
represented, as his friends had 1t, all the Demo
c:atic. men, women and children of the Hooser
State.n c. B. Smith and Sample, who are all
that were saved from the wreck, are among the
best men in the State, and will reflect much
honor and credit on their constituents and party
Robert Dale Owen of the First District is an ad-
vocate of Commercial Treaty, which hobby he
rode quite extensively during the canvass. Heis,
wtbal, a man of talents, and was for two or three
winters the Loco-Foco leader in the Legislature.
Henley of the Second, is ex-Speaker of the State
Legislature, and was a disappointed aspirant for
the Loco.Foco Gubernatorial nomination last win
ter $50 was Hannegan, now in the United States
Senate; he and Henley both thus getting well
paid for their defeat.) Thomas Smith Of the
Third was the Member before al, He is tan
ner. His Congressional Convention passed reso-
lutions in favor of Cass. William j. Brown Of
the Fifth is ex.Secretary OF State, Is the who
was charged last winter with de1alcatlons while
in that Office, and was then duly whitewashcd,
DR.. Davis of the Sixth was a Member also before
40, and is the same man who last year in a Con-
vention seriously moved that Democratic Mass
Meeting should be held on the ground where the
battle Of the Thames was fought! and did not
withdraw it until informed by one of his brethren
that the permission of Her Royal Majesty should
first be obtained. | have heard it hinted that he
was at heart Johnson man. Wright of the
Seventh, who slips in through Wing disaffecton
is Howard's right hand man. | heard him last
winter in the Loco Foco State Convention at the
uphill Job Of proving that the more nation i'm
ported oper the value other exports, the richer she
In reality became. His talents are rery ordinary.
Owen, Brown, Davis, Petit and Chamberlain
all ran behind their party tickets in the counties
wherein they live. The majorities in each Con-
gressional District the Congress and Govern
or's tickets are as follows
