INDIANA.

From every part Of this hitherto doubtful, but
pow unwaverng democratic State, we have the most
cheering tidings Of success. Indiana gave her cleo
oral vote to Gen. Jackson every time he was can
ddate for President-Mr. Greeley's assertion to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Reposing on their
prengh, the sentines slept; and whilst they slept,
he enemy came and took the citadel. In 1886 and
s40 the State was found in the federal line; but upon
he nomination of Mr.. Polk, the spirit of "a, '28,
gave her support to the "Young Hickory of Ten
hessee."
Elections for members Of Congress and the State
legislature take place the first Monday in August
hext. The contest for the legislature is rendered
doubly important by the choice of United States
fenator devoving upon that body, vice Hon. A. S.
White, whose term expired on the 4th Of March
past.
The State is entitled to ten members of Congress.
Ou of that number, seven democrats will certainly
be elected, and there is an equal chance for two
more.
In the first district, Robert Dale Owen, the tai
ented and accomplished member Of the last House
Representatives, will be elected by overwhelm-
png majority over his wing competitor, G. p. r.
Wilson
In the second, Thomas J. Henley will be returned
by an increased vote. Roger Martin is the wing
candidate. Mr.. Henley is gentleman Of talents,
and of the old-fashioned republican school, and en-
oyed the reputation Of being Of the abest deba-
ers in the last Congress.

within the last few days, when j. c. Eggleston was
elected by federal convention as their candidate.
Mr. E. is gentleman of respectable attainments;
M although the district is very close one, ye,
Colonel Smiths majority will be several hundred
The fourth is Incidentally wing. G. B. Smith,
IN anti-Texas and anti-oregon Clayite, will be re-
turned, beyond doubt.
The fifth, represented in the last Congress by
lon w. ], Brown, now of this city, will elect w.
w Wick, esq, member from a portion of this
p''nct in the Goth Congress. Judge Wick has no
eguar opposition.

lied.
In the seventh, J. A. Wright, democrat, and E.
McGaughey, wing, are the candidates. This
district gave over 1000 majority for Clay last No
ember; but still strong hopes are entertained of the
uceess of Mr.. W. If industry be regarded, and
merit rewarded, he will be reelected.
In the eighth, the able and fearless, but somewhat
eccentric, representative in the last Congress, John
sht, is the democratic nominee. The friends of
W. odell, Of Tippecanoe, and A. L. Holmes, of
