The apportionment bill passed at the
session of 1S47 rendered any other Ie-
suit than Locofoco legislature almost
impossible. II is so rascally arranged
that when u. S. Senator is TO be elect
I'd, the floating members fall into strong
locofoco Counties. Last year The wings
had an equal chance, and it resulted in
their having majority in the Legisla,
ture. Mr.. Delrees, the editor of the
Journal, has taken the trouble to exam
inc and compare the precise vote ofeach
county, and gives it as the result of his
investigation that TIE aggregate vote Of
the State is decidedly whig.
! The Buffalo nominations frd many
supporters in this State from the ranks Of
the two great parties, and it has entirely
swallowed the liberty party. Amongst
the delegates to this Convention were
three locotoco members Of the Indiana
Senate. The leader ofthe free soil party
here, is Major John B. Spam"ns, the ed
itor OF the Iippecanoe Journal. He is a
n tive OF Kent county, Md, and has al
ways stood high in the wing party, but
has now basely betrayed the county of
his adoption by coalesceing with the alb
olitionists.
The late campaign here has exhibited

would seem rather strange. 1t is tn s,
Wills, our Governor was stumping il for
Cass our Secretary of State, vas doing

first time that he has fought under that
ever victorious chief At the terrible
conflict of Fl. Harrison, he was one Of
the most active aids Of the gallant COM
mander OF that fight, In Maryland, the
Secretary is the chosen instrument and
partizan of the Executive; in Indiana
that officer is elected by the legislature,
thus whilst our Governor is a rampant
Hunker, our Secretary is glorious old
Wing, whose locks have been whitened
by the frost of IS winters.

learn that the high prices for produce las,

They will perhaps find out that there was
famine in Europe and a war in Mexico,
that created demand for the products OF
the Earth. The Ohio and Wabash will no
longer be crowded with fiat boats ladened
