with the name Of Colonel DoniIhan and The
brilliant achievements OF his Californian ex-

INDIANA.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Express, an
der date of Harrisburg, Ind, Sept. 25, says
You may rely npon it, no matter what sto'
ries to the contrary, the Wings of Indiana are
for General Taylor en- masse, and they will
give him larger vote than they gave MIR
Clay. The Free Soil party will poll a slim
vote in this State. I de not believe 1t will ex-
coed 5000 votes. In this (Fayette) county
they will not exceed fifty votes. most OF then
from the Democratic party.
Gen. Taylor's last letter gives great satlstac
ton to the Wings in this quarter, This coun
ty will give him majority double that which
it gave to Mr.. Clay.
