INDIANA'S COMING!
The Missourian of the 18th SAYS:

The Missourian of the 18th says
We think there can no longer be any
doubt but that Indiana has gone for Polk
and Dallas BY a handsome majority. On
Saturday we received an Extra from the
office of the State Sentinel, published at
indianapolis, the capitol of the State, con-
tanning reported returns from nine coun-
ties, showing a considerable increase up.
on the Democratic vote since August,
when the popular vote was with US
The Sentinel says:
"Unless the white slaves of Henry
Clay have overrun our borders, we con-
idently claim a glorious victory"
And yesterday we received the Lou
i~sville Democrat Of Thursday, contain
ing returns from Is counties, mostly in
the southern part of Indiana, showing a
gain of 6l4 uron Whitcomb's majority
for Governor in lS43, when he was e.
lected by upwards of 1000 majority.
The Democrat says:
"Should the remainder of The State
come in by a similar increase, Polk will
haze carried Indiana by at least 5000
majority.
ave think there can be no doubt but
Polk has gloriously carried the Hoosier
State"
BY an extra from the Indiana Sentinel,
dated indianapolis, Novembr 9Th, we
have rnturns from si%xty-three counties,
giving Polk & Dallas q majority of 1919.
The editor says;
"From the returns, there can be no
doubt that Indiana will give a majority
fer the Democratic candidates of from
1900 to 1900. This'news will be eve
ry where received by our friends with
joy and gladress. Indiana is now sure
ly Democratic. This is glory enough
for enc day."

returns:

In addition to the foregoing there were
reported Wing gains Of 280 in Wilson
and Williamson counties, and ~ Demo-
cratic gain in six precincts in Dickson
The net Democratic gain in the foregoing
counties is lOO6 by some accounts, and
by others 1915. The whig majority in
the State in lS43 was 1854. \ letter
from Nashville to the editor Of the
Democrat says, eve confidently believe
that Tennessee has given her thirteen
electoral votes for Polk and Dallas."-
We have not yet heard from those u
ties, where the Democrats expected to
make the heaviest gains. The Memphis
Eagle gives returns from most Of the pre-
cincts in Shelby county, in which Mr..
Clay's majority is 1853. The Wings
have gained II votes in one precinct in
Upton county.
, 1844-11-16
TENNESSEE.

Maury county gave a majority of FOG
votes for Polk and Dallas. An extra
from the Office of the St. Louis Republi-
can, put out on Monday last, says: "a
friend of ours who left Nashville on
Thursday, saw returns from IS counties,
giving Polk a gain of 1900"
This will do pretty well; and it GER
tainly indicates that the State has gone
for that obscure individual James X.
Polk for the Presidency, over "the great
embodiment.

NEGRo-STrALERs.-The Nc. Repor-
ter of the 9Th says: "The organization
Of corps Of negro-stealers from the Mis-.

decided measures should be taken TO
break up the combination, and bring the
offenders TO justice. The Constitution
ofthe United States guarantees TO the CT
tizens of Missouri the protection oftheir
property against ~depredationa Of this
character; and ifthe Abolitionists in Hi
nois and Michigan are determined to
trample upon their constitutional duties,
the people of this State will be forced to
protect their rights by a resort to any
means they can devise. If some dozen
ofthese negro-stealers could be brought
into this State, to keep company with
the three now in Penitentiary, a sal
utary effect might be produced on other
scoundrels. 1t is the daty Of every law
abiding citizen in ILL.,, to aid in breaking
up this gang of thieves, and bringing
them to justice.

says, "from this State, returns are so

about the probable vote of The State. In

gained on the vote Of Van Buren,; in
Wood, Marshall, and Brooke, the wings
seem TO have gained; but nothing GER

PENNSYLVANIA AND INp1ANA-CooN-
ERY'DIMoLIsHED!-There is no longer

and Indiania-they have both gone for
Polk and Dallas by handsome majorities:
The M~issourian of Tuesday, says: "Suf-
fee it to say, that the two states have
gone for Polk and Dallas, and that the
Wing papers generally, have given them
up. The majority in Indiana will be
from 1900 to 1000, and in Pennsylvania
